Chapter 13 Maverick was completely panicked. His fingers gripping the phone turned white, and his face instantly lost all color. Raelynn changed her identity information? Was she planning to leave him for good? No, impossible. They loved each other so much; how could Raelynn bear to leave him? Maverick threw his phone down, his eyes bloodshot. He refused to believe Raelynn would really leave. He got up and left the villa, only to bump into Ophelia, who was holding a box with red-rimmed eyes. "May, this is from Raelynn. What does she mean by this?" Ophelia's hands trembled as she opened the box, revealing a blood-soaked lifelike baby doll lying inside. Inside was also a voice recorder, and Raelynn's venomous voice played, repeating over and over. "Ophelia, you seduced Maverick. You and the child in your belly deserve to die. I will not stop my revenge, and this time Maverick will never catch me." Maverick's expression changed dramatically. Hearing that familiar voice, the regret in his eyes gradually faded, re- placed by a growing coldness. Did Raelynn change her information on purpose to hide and prepare to take revenge on Ophelia? Compared to Raelynn leaving him forever, he would rather believe the latter. "Mav, how did Raelynn find out? She hates me so much, what should I do? This child, I can't keep this child." Ophe- lia spoke shakily, turning to go to the hospital for an abortion. Maverick grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. "As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you.' "Raelynn has grown bold, daring to go against me." His face was dark, and the anxiety and panic in his heart were completely replaced by anger. He furrowed his brows tightly, glanced at the living room that looked like a ruin, and left with Ophelia in his arms, leaving the box with the bloody doll discarded on the floor. In a corner out of his sight, Ophelia's face was'twisted with malice, and she curled her lips in satisfaction. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and created the illusion that Raelynn was hiding to take revenge on her, making 0.0 % 10:34 Maverick disappointed in Raelynn again and turning his attention back to her. Raelynn was already gone, and she must never be allowed to return. Maverick took Ophelia back to the hospital and stayed by her side day and night. She was restless, often waking up from nightmares in the middle of the night. Ophelia's mental state grew worse and worse. She couldn't eat, and the child in her belly was affected as well. Maverick was worried. Every day that Raelynn couldn't be found was another day Ophelia was anxious and afraid. He decided to host a banquet, using the public announcement of his relationship with Ophelia as bait to force Raelynn to appear, so he could explain everything to her. As long as she stopped targeting Ophelia, he would love her as he did before and not hold her recent actions against her. On the day of the banquet, Maverick appeared holding the elegantly dressed Ophelia. The crowd knowingly applaud- ed and offered their blessings. Ophelia thought about finally becoming Mrs. Joyner in name and smiled broadly, happily accepting everyone's con- gratulations. There was no joy on Maverick's face. He ignored everyone's blessings and absentmindedly watched the entrance to the banquet hall. He was waiting for Raelynn to appear, convinced she would come to confront him. Time ticked by, second after second. Just as the emcee invited Maverick and Ophelia to the stage to speak, the doors to the banquet hall were slowly pushed open. 58.4 % 10:34
