“Mae Joyce gave him a big bear hug.
This man was a world-class leading physicist. At the age of seventeen, he won the Breakthrough Prize, which was a top science award. No one had yet to achieve this at such a young age. His papers were published in prestigious journals and were held in high regard.
Perhaps since this man shined so brightly on his own that no one bothered to investigate his background. Thus, no one knew that he was, in fact, Floyd Powell’s second son, Maverick Powell.
Maverick looked at Joyce and saw that she was still the same as before. He reached out and touched her forehead.
Joyce shrank her neck and frowned at him.
“What are you doing?”
“You got hurt?” Maverick’s face was a little glum.
“I accidentally humped into the wall:”
Joyce lied with ease,
Maverick nodded without suspicion. ”
Useless!”
The two siblings walked and talked.
Maverick asked insouciantly, “I heard you got married?”
He was abroad for more than five years and had been doing some top-secret research in some lab, so he would occasionally chat with Kai during his leisure time.
It seemed that Joyce’s marriage had upset the whole family.
Maverick took out a bank card from his pocket.
“This is the prize money from all the awards
I’ve won. There, take it as your wedding gift.”
All that prize money was an astronomical sum!
Joyce’s second brother had never cared for money and had always given his younger sister all the prize money he got since childhood.
Joyce blinked. “I just got divorced.”
“Oh, then it’s your divorce gift.”
Maverick quietly lowered his head and dragged his expensive suitcase forward.
His face was expressionless as if he did not care.
Joyce giggled and went up to Maverick
Mav, please do me a favor as a gift instead…”
“What is it?”
“I have a project that involves artificial intelligence. Since you’re the best expert there is, can you please help me with a part of it?”
Joyce sucked up to her second brother.
Maverick was a national treasure! If she asked him to join the project, it was indeed a little wasteful of his talent.
However, on second thought, it would also be a waste not to make full use of her genius brother!
Maverick nodded. ‘Sure. I have a month’s vacation. Is that enough?” of course, it’s enough!”
Joyce took the bank card from Maverick and waved it in his face. “Then take this too. Thanks, Mav!”
Maverick was speechless.
Not far away, two tall men were walking side by side behind the Powell siblings.
They came to poach an international talent, so they squatted there by themselves all night.
‘Why hasn’t the assistant sent any photos yet?’ Keith Ludwig thought.
Keith looked at the woman and nudged Tristan’s shoulder.
“What a coincidence! Isn’t that Joyce?”
Beside her was a man they had never seen before. That man looked calm and decent with a cool temperament. He did not look like a businessman, but an ordinary person at first glance.
Following Keith’s line of sight, Tristan happened to see Joyce’s side profile.
Her long and wavy hair was let down and she was wearing a long black halter dress with stilettos that made her legs look even more slender than they already were. She looked so elegant and happy as she smiled fondly at the man next to her.
Tristan subconsciously walked over just so he could hear their conversation and her pleasant voice.
“Why the sudden divorce?” Maverick asked.
‘Because he died,” Joyce spoke without a thought.
“Oh.” Maverick nodded emotionlessly.
Tristan and Keith’s footsteps lurched, and their bodies suddenly stiffened.
The man who was supposedly dead was rendered speechless.
Tristan just stared intently at Joyce’s back for a long time, but she did not seem to notice.
Keith laughed and patted his shoulder. “Don’
t look, you’re already dead!”
The photos finally came in. Keith looked down and was about to remind Tristan about their purpose in coming here.
As a result, his body stiffened when he saw the photo.
It was clearly the man next to Joyce!
Keith screamed, so Tristan frowned at him and caught a glimpse of the photo.
He looked just as shocked.
Joyce turned around and frowned when she saw those two people. What sh*tty luck!’
‘A national treasure just appears in front of us like that?’ Keith thought.
Keith walked forward and forced a smile. ”
What a coincidence, Ms, Powell! This is…”
He glanced at the man next to Joyce and could not contain his excitement.
‘He’s a legend that I’ve only heard about! The person we’re squatting here in the middle of the night for is gonna be taken away by
Joyce? What’s more… They looked well acquainted!’
Maverick nodded calmly. “Hello, my name is Sunner.”
That was his pseudonym and his other identity to the public.
No one had heard of this, nor did they recognize it.
Joyce raised her eyes and looked at Keith.
“Are you guys stalking me? Why do I see you everywhere I go?!”
Keith, who was suddenly attacked, retracted his hand and forced a smile as he defended himself.
‘Will Joyce mock me if I tell the truth? If I don’t, then I’ll miss this chance!”
“We’re definitely not stalking you… We just came to pick up a friend. It’s purely a coincidence! Ms. Powell, if you don’t want to see me, get lost now…”
Keith himself was puzzled as to why he was acting so servile to Joyce with Tristan right behind him.
Joyce withdrew her gaze. “Then hurry up and get lost.”
“Okay!” Keith said as he turned to leave.
After taking two steps, he saw Tristan coming up from behind.
Tristan’s eyes were cold and sullen as he stepped forward. His gaze lingered on Joyce
‘s forehead for a few seconds,
He then looked at the man beside her and suddenly asked, “Sunner, are you guys friends?”
Maverick, also known as Sunner, nodded and naturally put his arm around Joyce’s shoulders. “Of course! She’s my best friend.”
He never lied.
After all, with Maverick’s character, he had a total of three friends since he was a child, all of which were his siblings.
“Let’s go,” Joyce said indifferently and took his arm to leave.
She did not even look at Tristan.
Keith Ludwig sighed. “Tsk, tsk… We don’t have a chance anymore. The Great God
Maverick and Joyce actually know each other and even have such a good relationship!”
The news of Maverick’s return was confidential. To be precise, his itinerary was completely classified.
That was because his identity was too sensitive.
They spent a lot of money on the international black market just to buy information about Maverick’s flight, and it was gone just like that!
Tristan looked at Keith coldly and left.
Maverick and Joyce went back to the
Powell mansion.
Before they got out of the car, they heard the butler ordering a maid to clean up the garden tomorrow as well as Kai’s wailing and Floyd’s angry roar coming from the living room,
Maverick stood in the doorway for a moment and looked at Joyce.
“Find a place for me, somewhere quiet, preferably with no one living around it.”
Is. Joyce blinked and subconsciously blurted out, “A haunted house?”
“That’s fine too.”
`It’s fine as long as no humans are around me.’ Maverick thought.
Once the door opened, Kai ran over and almost jumped Joyce, “You’re finally back!
Save me!”
Joyce scoffed and was about to speak when Kai saw Maverick. He was shocked. ‘Male Maverick flashed a rare smile.
