After closing, Maverick came to pick up Jeslyn. Seeing who was in the driver’s seat, Jeslyn felt
powerless.
“Plum, why is it you? Where is Yellow? And also, the rules stated that you can’t be here, right?”
He turned to look at Jeslyn who was trying to buckle her seat belt. He leaned closer to her, just a few
inches away from their lips joining.
Jeslyn gasped at the closeness and Maverick curled his lips. “What do YOU say? Do you not want me
here?”
Jeslyn blinked. Can she still say ‘No‘ when he’s obviously seducing her? He was supposed to be
buckling her belt but why was he staring into her eyes and his hands…. What are they doing?! Jeslyn
instantly looked down, his fingers were unbuttoning her shirt. She hurriedly slapped away his hand.
She looked out the window in a panic, Trying to see if no one saw them.
Her behavior reminded Maverick of a thief looking out to see if he was caught.
Maverick chuckled richly, surprising Jeslyn who had never heard him laugh before.
“Do you laugh?” Jeslyn was genuinely surprised.
“I’m still human.” He replied and buckled her belt before driving off.
“I do forget you are, most times.”
“Hm??”
“You don’t behave like a human… By the way, that reminds me. Why did you allow me to stay for so
long in jail? I thought you ran away.” She looked at him.
“The lawyer was busy courting death.” Maverick said unbothered.
“Oh? So you got me a lawyer and he didn’t come?”
“Mn,” he responded.
“That’s so bold of him. Where is he now?”
“Dead,” Maverick’s lips curled into a smirk.
“You killed him? Why?!”
“I’m innocent. He died in jail.
“You sent him to jail? Talk like a human, ah.”
Maverick chuckled before he turned his head in Jeslyn’s direction. “You make me talk too much.”
“Yes, talk so your mouth won’t smell. I won’t kiss you anymore if that happens.”
“Hahaha… Fine. His crimes sent him there. Those he sent to jail had fun with him for a few months and
the lawyer couldn’t take it and died.”
“Why don’t I believe that story? Did you pay them to torture him?” Jeslyn raised a brow.

“I don’t stoop so low.” He side–eyed her.
“That’s true…. Lawyer An is still roaming Country A without guilt. I want him to be shaken a little.”
Jeslyn’s face turned sinister at the thought of that lawyer.
“How do you want to punish him?”
“Make him lose all cases from now on. His reputation should be damaged without redemption, his wife
and children should run away with another man, then, he should be driven to near death until he finally
kills himself. My grandfather gave him everything, including his worthless life, so I want to take
everything back from him in the most devastating way.”
Maverick smiled and responded; “Done.”
“When do you intend to go after your step sister?”
“We’ll meet in the industry. But I have something I’d like you to help me find out about her. Her success
is shockingly fast and I don’t trust that. She’s the most popular celebrity in the whole of Country A and
other Countries including Country Y are attempting to poach her but she’s rejecting them all. Her goal
is to sign with either Velvet entertainment or Sparkle entertainment. Why is that SO?”
“Do you want me to help her get in so you’ll find out?”
“Of course, not. Tch!”
Maverick smiles with his eyes focused on the road.
Jeslyn’s phone beeped and she unlocked it to see it was a message from Same unknown number.
“Why is Vera bothering me?”
Maverick whipped his head to see that Jeslyn was already reading the message with a frown on her
gorgeous face. He flattened his lips into a thin line, waiting patiently for her outburst.
After a while, Jeslyn raised her head from the phone and her cold eyes met Maverick’s blank eyes. She
turned her face away and stared outside the window.
The silence in the car was deafening and it remained that way until they got home. Jeslyn got down
from the car and closed it with a loud ‘bang!‘ before marching towards the house. Maverick stared at
her lone back until she disappeared through the door before he looked down at his ringing phone.
He picked it up and after hearing the other person’s words, he replied; “Mn, schedule the meeting to
Vipers tomorrow.”
Maverick entered the house but couldn’t get into Jeslyn’s room. The door was locked.
“Are there spare keys?” He asked Aunt Martha.
“Eldest Miss took the keys from me and said no one is allowed to disturb her.”
“You can leave,” Maverick said and stared one more time at the door before walking away. She needs
her space and he won’t deprive her of that.
Inside the room, Jeslyn was hugging her pillow and bawling her eyes out.

How could he? She understood the first time was a mistake but how could he sleep with her again?
Not just that, he got her pregnant! Was Maverick playing with me? Or is he just being greedy? He can’t
let me go because I’mRossa and also can’t let Vera go because she’s the one he truly loves? What’s
all
this?!
Jeslyn picked up her phone, wiped her tears and called the number again. It rang for a while before it
was answered.
‘Hello,’
Jeslyn frowned. This isn’t Vera’s voice, still she answered. “Hi, ma’am, can I speak with Vera?”
‘Who are you?‘
“I’m her friend, Rossa.”
‘Oh, you mean, Jeslyn?‘
Jeslyn knitted her brows. Who was this person that knows her so well? It was because she wanted to
hide her identity that was why she gave Vera the wrong name.
“Who are you?”
‘Who else? I’m Maverick’s mother.‘
Jeslyn froze for a while. Maverick’s mother? Then how was she supposed to respond to her?
“Good evening, ma,” Jeslyn greeted for a start. Her voice sounded respectful even though she was
having the thought of lashing out on Vera a whole ago.
