The two of them, one leading and the other following, arrived at a secluded corner near the villa’s back door.

“Why do you have such a solemn expression on, Mr. Wright? What do you want to talk about?” asked Justin.

“There’s no need for pretense in front of me. I know you have ulterior motives for being by Gwendolyn’s side.”

Instantly, a wicked grin spread across Justin’s face.

“Since you’ve realized it, my apologies!”

He covertly reached for a small knife at his waist, swiftly aiming to stab Maverick’s throat.

Maverick skillfully took a half-step back.

Within three swift moves, he had Justin subdued.

Justin’s hands were forcefully restrained behind his back, causing him to fear that his arms would be dislocated. The pain was so excruciating that his complexion grew pale.

“Just kill me. I won’t be able to fulfill the assigned mission anyway. Sooner or later, I will meet my demise,” he uttered.

Maverick chuckled softly and released him, saying, “Why would I want to kill you? I am here simply to have a conversation with you. I have no interest in you or your life.”

Justin couldn’t understand the man’s intentions.

“Don’t you truly love Ms. Shalders? I was sent here to harm her. Now that you have exposed my true identity, why aren’t you making a move?” he asked in puzzlement.

Maverick gazed at the man with deep, intense eyes and remarked, “You have feelings for her, don’t you?”

Instantly, Justin’s face flushed crimson.

“N-No… How could I!”

Maverick had always been astute in discerning a man’s intentions.

Ever since he realized his love for Gwendolyn, he discovered a newfound ability to perceive, from a man’s gaze, whether or not they harbored feelings for her.

“You must have feelings for her. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have concealed your intentions for such a long time without taking action. There’s no need to hide it any longer. Tell me your plan, and perhaps I can assist you in resolving the matter,” Maverick proposed.

Justin locked gazes with Maverick, finding himself strangely drawn to the man’s aura.

He recognized that Maverick was no ordinary individual, and it appeared that discussing a solution with him was the only viable course of action.

There was nothing Justin could do but take the leap of faith and trust Maverick this once.
