Chapter 192 The Fingerprint on The Phone
Chapter 192 The Fingerprint on The Phone
Twenty minutes later, Maverick arrived at the Farley's with Hendrix.
On the way, Maverick had already gotten to know everything.
Edmond's sudden disappearance was not a coincidence. Everly had guessed correctly before.
Because of what happened yesterday, Maverick did not send too many people to follow Everly and
Edmond today.
Besides, Sarah's matter had come to an end before. Now it was an internal problem of Lamont Group.
And the media would not be too exaggerated.
That's why Maverick did not send too many people to protect them.
When Everly left, the bodyguards followed her out secretly.
So, when Edmond was taken out to buy ice cream, he disappeared just like that. Nobody could find any
clues.
Hendrix and Maverick had already sent people out to search. Maverick directly contacted Lawrence.
Lawrence had many friends working in the police station. Lawrence was also doing the same work. It
was more convenient for Lawrence to find Edmond.
After doing all of this, it seemed like they could only sit and wait.
Maverick was restless.
Maverick was not sure who was behind this, but there weren't many people he could suspect.
Hendrix and Maverick were waiting in the study room. Because they were too impatient, they smoked
one cigarette after another.
The entire study was shrouded in smoke, and their expressions were solemn.
When Everly came in with red eyes, the ashtray beside Maverick was already filled with cigarette butts.
"Any news?" It was already midnight. Parrish and Gloria were in the room, and they probably couldn't
sleep either. Everly wasn't sleepy though she was really tired, she came in to ask for news.
Maverick got up and walked in front of her, "Didn't I ask you to go and rest? If there is any news, I will
tell you immediately."
Hendrix also sighed, "Yes, Everly, it's not good for you to just wait like this. The two of us were enough.
Don't worry, we're already been searching inch-by-inch. In such a short time, nobody can bring
Edmond out of City C. Edmond must still be there."
When Hendrix said this, Everly was even more scared.
Everly's voice was hoarse, "Edmond has never experienced such a thing. He is only five years old. I
am really scared. It is all my fault. It is all my fault..."
Seeing her like this, Maverick felt even more guilty. He held Everly in his arms and gently comforted
her, "It's not your fault. I will find our son. If it is someone's fault, it must be me. You go and rest first. Be
good. It will be bad if your body collapses first when Edmond is back. I promise you, no matter what, I
will let our son comes back safely."
Maverick was swearing to himself, promising himself.
Everly knew that Maverick was a man with courage.
Maverick had his aura.
If he said so, he would make it happen.
And, Everly was more willing to believe that Maverick would do it.
"Edmond can't lose half a hair, make sure he comes back safely," Everly requested in a low voice.
"Okay, I promise."
Everly also knew that if she continues staying here, Maverick and Hendrix had to constantly comfort
her, and then at most, tell her to go to rest.
Everly returned to her room. Her eyes were dry as she lay on the bed, she could not sleep.
In the study room, Hendrix still voiced out his doubts, "Have you thought about it? Who did it?"
Maverick can't measure how many cigarettes he smoked tonight. His throat is a bit painful, so his voice
was hoarse, "I thought about it, but without evidence. I can't act rashly."
"They didn't come for you, right? It feels like they came for Everly."
"You mean, if they come for me, they can kidnap Candy?"
"That is what I think."
"Candy is with me. They can't kidnap her, that's why they made a move against Edmond. That person
already knew that Edmond is my son. If he didn't know about this, he wouldn't have so brazenly made
a move against Edmond. It's nothing more than that," Maverick said with certainty.
"So?" Hendrix stretched out his hand and tilted the armrest of the sofa, looking at Maverick, "The
person you are thinking of should be the same person like me, right?"
"I did look for him before."
What Maverick said and Hendrix were thinking of was Zane.
However, Maverick also felt that even for Zane, it was too blatant to do this now.
"There is some misunderstanding between Zane and me. But Zane is the one who understands me the
best in City C. However, Zane is a very smart person. At this time, even if he knows something and has
the intention to do it, he should not easily make a move."
Hendrix touched his chin and agreed, "Zane is quite a sinister person. Now that you mention it, I think it
makes sense too. What about the others?"
Maverick thought about it and said, "Let's talk about it after we've confirmed it. I don't want to make wild
guesses."
Hendrix knew a little about Maverick's "romantic debts" which caused his Everly to care a lot.
Now that they had sat together, Hendrix could not help but say, "My sister asked me about Elenore a
few days ago. Have you been in contact with Elenore recently?"
Maverick had a headache when he heard the name of Elenore.
Everly was angry about what happened in the photo. She felt that she was not the one who did it. Even
if Maverick felt that she did it and was happy because of it, when he thought about Everly's attitude, he
thought that he believed it wrong.
If the evidence was like a nail on a metal plate, but Everly insisted that she hadn't done it, Maverick
would still believe in Everly.
Maverick had a stubborn and perverted possessiveness, but he had always been restraining himself,
and this possessiveness would not affect his usual judgment and thoughts, nor would it affect him in
any way.
The way that Maverick released his strong emotional that night was to have sex.
"Elenore and I are just business partners. We are friends. There is no need to care too much,"
Maverick did not intend to say more. His subordinates did their best. Jayden called at this time, and this
topic was turned over.
Maverick immediately picked up the phone.
Jayden said: "Mr. Maverick, I have already sent people to investigate the surveillance cameras that can This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
be investigated. It is confirmed that there is no trace of young master Edmond, so I deduced that the
suspect should be a very experienced person and especially avoided the surveillance cameras."
This was not good news.
Maverick's face was solemn, "What else is there?"
"The police have also begun to investigate. The news we just received is that on the road opposite the
convenience store, there is a mobile phone. It is confirmed that the young master often used it to
contact family, so it should be deliberately thrown away by the suspect."
Then, Jayden finally sent out a piece of good news, "There is a fingerprint on the phone. Other than the
young master, there is another person."
