“Boss.” Assistant Cliff bowed and carefully placed the Rosevix land document on the table.Maverick casually arched his brows and opened the document to skim through. “Good.” He commented, his face and tone blank, making his emotions indecipherable.Assistant Cliff hesitated. Maverick could have broken in from the beginning if he wanted to. If Maverick wanted, those people would have been lying in the hospital, but wanting to go through such a risky thing—was it worth it? “Young master going like that, Miss Tatiana…”Maverick placed the document on the table and raised his head to stare at Assistant Cliff. He glared at Assistant Cliff in disdain, as if to say that it had been years since Assistant Cliff had been by his side, yet he still couldn’t understand Maverick well.Well, what did it matter if something happened to Tatiana?“Didn’t he like a show? I’ll give him something to watch.” Maverick picked up the document and strode out of the office.He? Assistant Cliff’s eyebrows furro
Tatiana put on a skimpy, silky white night slip that reached her upper thigh and revealed a hint of her butt. She ran down the stairs, giggling like an innocent and pure little girl, and called sweetly, “Maverick. Maverick…” Tatiana paused in her tracks, and the happiness on her face disappeared upon seeing no sign of Maverick in the living room. The living room was so empty it seemed as if no one had been there the night before. Aurora’s eyes flashed with disdain, and she inwardly snorted. Didn’t Tatiana find her feigned innocence very disgusting? Although Tatiana kept smiling and giggling like an innocent girl, she had purposely put on a sexy outfit. It was obvious that nothing about Tatiana revealed innocence; rather, she was all about seduction. Still, she tried to cover it up with feigned cluelessness. Despite the thoughts coursing through Aurora's mind, none of them were revealed on her face. Instead, a patient smile hung on her lips as she reported in a calm and steady to
Upon hearing this, the gazes that fell on Valencia became unsightly, and everyone couldn't help remembering the incident of the previous day.That's right! Even a fool would notice that Valencia had been annoyed at Tatiana for kicking Lessie out. Definitely, Valencia had done it on purpose to make everyone misjudge Tatiana.However, no one had expected that Valencia would choose to retaliate like this. Very despicable.Valencia's expression turned cold, and she folded her arms.Although she had already expected Tatiana to act, she didn't expect that she'd do so blatantly. But what did she expect? Tatiana, that bitch, was fond of doing it. Doing the same cringe cries over and over. Isn't she tired and disgusted?Valencia's eyes turned fierce, and a cold smile appeared on her face. “Miss Tatiana, you claimed that you had been purposely schemed against by me. I submitted others' scripts, and no one claimed to have issues. For only Miss Tatiana to have this complaint, it's clear that some
As soon as Valencia alighted from the car, it immediately drove off, as if the owner had been waiting for her to get out for a long time. Valencia snorted, her eyes cold, and her face contorted with disdain. She turned toward the studio and began making her way inside. What did she expect? That bastard only knew how to use and discard people. Tatiana would really do a great job as the Vandeberg family’s young madam. The driver had purposely taken a longer route, even driving past the same path four or five times before finally heading toward the set. Throughout that time, Maverick’s head had rested on her shoulder—sleeping. He had held her hand tightly and wrapped an arm around her waist, just like lovers would. It was as if he never wanted to let her go. Yet, when the car finally stopped… That bastard didn’t even thank her, nor did he spare her a glance, and… “Did you just get down from Maverick's car?” Aviva eyed Valencia suspiciously, hands on her waist, her reaction making i
PING. PING. PING.The sudden, endless buzzing of Valencia, Aneira, and Aviva's phones broke the cheerful and sweet ambiance in the private room of a Michelin-starred restaurant.Although the three had wanted to ignore the phone's endless buzzing at first, realizing that this was such an unusual occurrence made them rethink.Moreover, for the three to be receiving alerts at the same time, could it be that something serious had happened?Immediately, they all exchanged glances, looked down at their phones, and unlocked them.At that moment, they realized they had been tagged by netizens concerning the current news circulating on social media.“Heh. Your husband and Maverick fought?” Valencia's eyes widened in bewilderment.Although Maverick's and Farrell’s families weren't close, everyone in the country knew the friendship between the two was tight, and they were just like brothers.Aneira’s brows furrowed in concern, but in the next second, she directed a playful glare at Valencia and
A boy held out his hand. A hand wrapped around the boy’s waist.Seeming to hear a joke, the boy smiled brightly.Soon, the scenery changed.The boy smiled radiantly and spoke over the phone. “Yes, I’ll be there soon…”“Boss, Young Miss Tatiana is here. Should I let her in?”The sudden announcement from a secretary snapped Amell from his thoughts.Tatiana? Why was she here?Amell’s brows arched, not realizing that his unusual happiness for Tatiana had already dissipated.He leaned back against the sofa and casually responded, “Let her in.”Immediately, Amell’s thoughts began to spin again, leading him back to his reverie.“Big Brother Amell,” the tiny voice of Tatiana suddenly invaded his ears, snapping him out of his thoughts.He raised his head to stare at her, his expression a bit withdrawn and absentminded.Suddenly, a wave of disgust overwhelmed him, making him want to barf.Those memories… Amell didn’t think that the person he had made those memories with could be Tatiana. She fe
“Madam,” Aunt Nora, an elder woman in her early fifties, called Cora while staring at Cora Vandenberg with hesitation.Aunt Nora was the head maid in the Vandenberg family mansion who had accompanied Cora from her maiden’s home and also helped to raise Maverick when he was young.Due to this reason, Aunt Nora had always been treated like a family member.Cora smiled ruefully. She had always believed in her capabilities to gauge people, but she hadn’t expected that she would lose this time. “I know. That girl has been pretending.” She declared this, her eyes falling into the distance.No matter how naive Cora was, Cora was also from a socialite family, and she had been a socialite all her life, so how could she not understand what was happening?Tatiana had claimed to be sincere and honest, but in just a few days, she had already been involved in so much trouble.There was no way that she was that innocent.If Tatiana was really innocent, then how come all this trouble was related to h
‘Just In: After having a fight with Farrell, Tatiana was kidnapped, and Maverick had to sacrifice a land document worth almost 500 million to rescue Tatiana. As soon as this news made its way online, social media was in an uproar. In the past, we said Valencia was the one who was unfit for Maverick, but realizing it now, we were the ones who were wrong! This Tatiana seemed to have bad luck surrounding her. She caused two childhood friends to fall out. Now, she had also been kidnapped and made Maverick lose almost 500 million. Right now, I realized that I missed Valencia a lot. I wished she hadn't grown up and was still the one serving us funny jokes instead of all this depressing information relating to Tatiana. This Tatiana was really not sweet at all.’ Contrary to the battling going on online, as soon as the robbers let go of Tatiana, they disappeared into thin air. Tatiana ran out of where she had been tied and ran to Maverick. Immediately, Tatiana jumped into Maverick’s embr
“Mom, do you like Daddy? Mom, did Daddy fight you because of that aunty? Is that the reason Mom was alone all these years…”As soon as the mom and her quadruplets entered the room, the smart and curious children were immediately unable to control their curiosity and began to pester Valencia with endless questions.Valencia patiently listened to the quadruplets' questions with a smile on her face, and when they fell silent, she let them place their heads on her lap and gently patted their backs.Valencia pretended to fall into thought before taking a glance at their cute faces. She mischievously expressed, “My little quadruplets, you are still babies and not adults. How do you want to understand adult issues?” she joked.Valencia sighed and poked their cheeks before continuing. “Anyway, Mom and Dad only have a misunderstanding. Babies shouldn’t fight with Daddy because of that, okay? Daddy is a good person,” she expressed gently and calmly.Immediately, the quadruplets pursed their lip
Cora and Gerz Vandenberg felt their breath hitch and several emotions surge through them.They had a grandchild? It wasn’t only a grandchild—it was even a quadruplet, which meant grandchildren!It turns out that Valencia and Corbyn were never a couple like everyone thought, and instead, Valencia had been loyal to their son. A woman like Valencia was very rare and special.Valencia calmly continued to play with the quadruplet, indifferent to their reactions. It was as if she didn’t notice the presence of the Vandenberg family a few steps away.“Valencia,” Maverick called out in a raspy voice and approached her.When Valencia asked if Maverick would let her go if she didn’t see any other man, including Corbyn, he should have noticed the sign.The woman had been so persistent and wouldn't let go regardless of how cold and indifferent he acted. What made him think that she'd simply go to another man?Maverick realized that he still didn't understand the woman no matter how much he thought
“Miss Valencia and the baby’s condition are fine. Miss Valencia has just undergone a psychological shock and is currently experiencing restlessness, tension, anxiety, and fear due to her phobia.Right now, the most important thing is to stabilize Miss Valencia’s emotional and physical state—for her health and the baby’s. I’d recommend complete rest, no stressful stimuli, and constant emotional support.If the panic or fear continues, we might consider involving a trauma therapist or prescribing...” the doctor professionally reported after diagnosing Valencia’s health.After the doctor was done and given permission, he packed up his things and left the Cirillo mansion.Orson put down his tablet, hurried toward Valencia, and leaned against her, albeit very carefully, as if not to add more to what she was going through. He blinked his eyes and asked, “Is Mom feeling unwell?”Valencia feigned a carefree smile. She gently picked Orson up and let him sit on her lap. She shook her head and c
“Maverick.” Farrell's eyes turned sharp, and he reproached upon seeing Maverick blatantly sit up from the bed as if to get out of it.Maverick had just been shot twice, for heaven's sake. It’s only heaven that knows how he didn’t black out after receiving two shots to his chest.Right now, all Maverick was supposed to do was cooperate and receive treatment, but NO. Maverick was very impatient to leave the ward and hospital altogether!Maverick had been forced and locked down before he could be taken to the hospital and before the doctor removed the bullet.Now that he was supposed to receive full treatment, Maverick stood up from the bed to leave—everything all on his own. It was as if he couldn’t even feel the pain of the gunshot. Did Maverick think he had a thousand lives? How could he be so careless and reckless?Maverick indifferently picked up his suit, indifferent to Farrell’s disapproval.Maverick’s hand pressed on his chest to apply pressure to the wound, the pain also alertin
A few decades ago, in a gambling center, Butler Leo met a competitor.This competitor was a wealthy man who didn’t know how to gamble, and as a result, he lost a lot of money to Butler Leo. However, the most interesting thing was that this person wasn’t annoyed at all and instead chose to be Butler Leo’s friend.Soon, they became such close friends that Butler Leo started helping him deliver some work—and soon he had already joined the illegal organization.The organization paid him a huge sum and gave him a spy mission: to take over the Vandenberg family and make everything belong to him.At that time, Blauch Vandenberg had just married his beautiful wife. The couple had been in love and wanted to have their baby. Unfortunately, one year, two, three, four, and five years passed—they couldn’t get a child regardless of how much they went to the hospital.While both of them thought that this was just an ordinary thing, or they hadn’t tried their best, what they didn’t know was that Butl
Immediately the gunshot rang, blood spurted from Butler Leo and the guard who had just handed the gun to Maverick.Maverick had just shot both of them!Upon seeing them collapse on the floor, Zan's expression changed, and he sprang up.Zan pointed at Maverick and growled, his voice filled with rage, “Maverick, what do you think you are doing?”Zan was in control. How dare Maverick go against his wish? Did Maverick think Zan couldn’t end him with a move? How dare he?For the first time, Zan's eyes showed a slight trace of anxiousness. “Call the doctor to treat Butler Leo,” he declared and immediately directed a piercing glare at Maverick.When the Vandenberg family had dumped him, the only one to support and boost his morale was Butler Leo. He'd never forgive himself if Butler Leo was in danger because of him.Maverick’s lips slowly curved up, and a faint smile appeared on his face. The solemnness on his face had already disappeared. He retorted calmly with one word, “Guess!”Before Za
Immediately, Tatiana was lowered so much that with just a little stretch, her feet would sink into the acid completely.Tatiana's face was as pale as a sheet, and she tried to fold her legs. Tears were now streaming past her eyes rapidly, and her whole elegant and innocent image was tossed into the wind. She kept screaming for Maverick to save her.Zan indifferently leaned against the chair and propped his chin. “Let me tell you a story. One day, a sick boy met a sick girl in the hospital, and since then, they have become close friends. So close that they even rolled the sheets. That boy was me, and that girl was your lovely and innocent Tatiana,” he revealed, a wicked and tyrant-like smile on his face.Upon hearing this, the crowd's quietness immediately broke, and they mumbled to each other, their eyes now filled with disdain as they fell on Tatiana.Upon hearing Zan's words, Tatiana's heart skipped a beat, and it began to thump against her chest.Zan folded his hands behind his hea
"Young Master Maverick, Grandfather Blauch Vandenberg, dear aunt and uncle, it’s been a long time; have you missed me?" The dark chuckle of the person with an altered voice suddenly reverberated in the mansion.Seeing the stunned reaction on their faces, a faint disparaging chuckle filled with anger spilt past his lips."It’s Zan," the person from the other end declared, the alteration in his voice already eliminated, revealing a familiar voice. Interesting.They already made themselves all about the Vandenberg family and didn’t care about the one they killed.Upon hearing this, the crowd's petrified expression changed to one filled with disbelief.Zan? Young Master Zan Vandenberg is alive?A hushed mumble filled with shock began to pervade the hall.Zan Vandenberg? Who is Zan Vandenberg?Although most of the new generation did not recognize this name, it wasn’t the same for the old generation.There was a history whose mention was forbidden in the Vandenberg family, and as a result,
‘Ahhhh, help me. Save me. Maverick, please save me. I don’t want to die…’The sudden cry of Tatiana and the video of a pale Tatiana and Valencia hanging above a dangerous pit suddenly took over the screen.Valencia. Maverick’s expression changed, and his hands balled into fists.Even though Maverick wanted to pronounce that name so badly, he didn't.“Valencia," Aneira and Aviva cried out and sprang up in shock, their hands flying to their mouths.Corbyn and the Cirillos’ expressions turned cold, and they immediately swept a cold glare filled with killing intent at Maverick and the Vandenberg family.It was clear that they were saying that if anything dared to happen to Valencia because of the Vandenberg family, then they would never let go of the Vandenberg family in this lifetime.The two families would be nothing but enemies from then on, and they'd do everything to see that the Vandenberg family was destroyed.The sudden ringing of Maverick's phone broke the tense atmosphere in the
