After listening to what Everly said, Maverick told her everything in the past.
"I didn't take those things seriously, because I felt that it had nothing to do with me. But now I think maybe I was the only one who thought that way. I owed Zane, but it was true that I didn't have much connection with that woman."
He paused and fixed the collar of his shirt before continuing, "In fact, I don't even remember what that woman looked like. She was close to Zane and often visited the Lamont's. When I was little, I went abroad with my mother and rarely came back. After I grew up, I returned to the country frequently. It was for my mother and also for myself. Because I never really let go of everything here. I have told you something about the Waller family. My mother is a Waller. My purpose is to make people return what they took from the Waller family."
"Maybe that woman has seen me at that time. I remember she was young at that time, and Zane liked her very much. She might also know that. Zane was the heir of the Lamont family. The Lamont family was moving into top gear and didn't need to gain business through marriage. Zane did say to his family that he wanted to marry that woman."
Maverick said, "I think her name is Tracy Guzman. I can't remember what she exactly looks like now. But she is quite pretty. Zane really likes her. And one day, when I was in Italy, Zane suddenly called me and asked me to come back. I thought there was something urgent. In fact, I always feel connected to Zane and I understand him. So, I didn't blame him for anything. His early experience was no better than me and he had always been restrained by the Lamont family. He was very amiable to me. But his tone on the phone was a little different, so I came back."
"And then?" Everly thought what Beth said was probably true. It was at that time that Zane's leg got lame.
Maverick said, "When I came back, I heard that Tracy had died in an accident. Zane seemed to have gone crazy. He felt that it was my fault. He said that Tracy had died due to my promise. I did not know what I had promised her. It turned out that when I was still in the country. Tracy confirmed something through my assistant and said that she wanted to meet me. I didn't know what she wanted to say to me. It was probably about Zane so I agreed. Later, I went to Italy because I had something to handle there. She had a car accident on the way to see me. When Zane arrived, she had died. There was a diary in her relic. Young girls like to write diaries. Her diary is all about me. Only then did Zane realize that Tracy didn't like him. He was angry. However, Tracy had died and he could not vent his anger. When I came back, he took me to the scene of Tracy's car accident. I did not think that I was wrong because I was completely unaware of her feelings. We had a dispute. When we were pushing back and forth, he was hit by
a car. His leg got lame. And that's why I have felt sorry to him."
Everly sighed as Maverick finished telling the whole story.
It was not Maverick's fault.
And those were accidents.
Seeing that Maverick was silent, Everly asked in a low voice, "So, you know about it. Right? Does Zane have anything to do with Sarah's death?"
"He is not a simple person." Maverick concluded, "I don't believe him. It is because when I take over Lamont Group, it had lost at least eighty million. Zane knew well about the problem. He also knew that Will had left a mess. He didn't have the ability to deal with it. That was why he did me the favor and gave the position to me. He wanted me to feel uneasy. And he also knew my purpose."
"Then why didn't you tell people about what he did?"
"There's nothing to say about this. He took what he needed. So did I." Maverick raised his eyebrows, "It was also a chance for me to return him a little favor. He really liked Tracy. For so many years, he had never forgotten her. At that time, I also needed Lamont Group as a backup. I brought back my capital in Italy through it. And now, Zane felt it was good timing for him. I guessed he was using Sarah's incidence to weaken me and win himself Levi's trust."
