A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 154

Declan and Alex were just temporary alliances.

Were they people of the same kind? They were.

They both were people who only cared about profit and wanted to dominate the entire business circle. But they were just too old to defeat the younger generation.

People like Maverick had given them a lot of pressure.

The Lamont family used to be one of the Big Four.

Ever since Maverick had taken over it, the Lamont family had broken away from them at a fast speed.

Of course, they had objections to this.

They used to share profit. But when Maverick came into power, he didn't show any respect and share anything with them and even began to eat away the parts that belonged to them.

They were to be respected, not neglected.

They had tried to fight back. It was just that the foundation of the Lamont Group was so strong and Maverick was so good at doing business that they were no match for him.

So they had accumulated a certain amount of resentment towards Maverick.

What happened this time directly led to them joining forces.

While they were all people with ulterior motives. They could fight against the common enemy together, but it was hard to say they were of one mind.

Especially now that Alex had encountered troubles, Declan began to have another plan.

They were businessmen.

Declan thought that if he successfully snatch the Italian market from Maverick, he would not only make himself famous but also expand the overseas market at the same time. It would be even more ideal if he could have this all to himself.

While Alex also thought the same.

As a result, when Maverick got someone to contact Declan in Italy, Alex also got the news in City C.

Mental tactics were very important.

People who did not trust each other would easily part ways.

Maverick had made arrangements step by step, waiting for them to turn on each other.

...

And for now, Maverick did not pay much attention to this.

In business, whether it was a quick battle or a roundabout tactic, the wealth he had accumulated in Italy a few years ago was enough for him to play all kinds of tricks and play with them till the end.

As he couldn't go abroad now, Maverick was thinking of talking with Edmond at a proper time.

However, what happened these days had caught much attention. Before Maverick could think of a countermeasure, someone from the Lamont family had directly come to him.

Even though Maverick was one of the Lamonts, he was not close to them.

Especially to Levi.

Compared to Will, Levi was the one that Maverick disliked more.

In fact, Levi had asked Maverick several times. If it wasn't for that Maverick could keep a good mood no matter what happened, he might not easily agree with having dinner together with Levi.

To Maverick, what was done was done.

But now he just couldn't let go when he thought of Edmond and the fatherly love that he lacked all these years.

"Look at you. Your beautiful eyes are now scarred. Don't tell anyone else that you are my daughter. When I was young, I was well-known for being handsome and romantic. You are just embarrassing me."

Everly was relieved to find Parrish joking.

However, at the time Parrish was bragging, Gloria just came in.

She immediately mocked, "Really? Handsome and romantic? But you only kept peeking at me when you chased me. That is your romance? As for looking handsome, you should thank god that they look like me."

Parrish was unconvinced and argued, "Daughters resemble fathers. This is an eternal law."

"Nonsense. You should think it twice about who Everly looks like."

"Hendrix is also handsome, but only seventy to eighty percent as that as I was when I was young."

"Shameless!"

...

Just as Everly was enjoying the show between them, Maverick called. So she got up and went outside to answer the phone.

Parrish was busy arguing with Gloria, yet he still noticed Everly going out.

Seeing Everly go out, he immediately shut up and sighed, his face filled with worry.

Gloria knew clearly what he was worried about. She patted him on the shoulder and shook her head, "Everly is already a mother. Don't worry too much. Take care of yourself. Otherwise, she will never be at ease for the rest of her life. You know what? She always felt that your illness was because of her."

"Ridiculous!"

"So it is. You should be careful about your heart. We will worry about them, and vice versa. Maverick is a good person, so let's just watch first. Don't be too fierce in opposition, or you'll make her feel uncomfortable."
