132 Mean nothing to him
Two months later…
At the hostel, Jeslyn arrived from lesson, feeling drained. The hostel couldn’t be said to be a hostel. It was a condominium, Every student has their own apartment which includes three rooms with three bathrooms, a sitting room, a kitchen, and a dining room. It also has a balcony where the city could be
viewed.
If Celestine Xuan could call a glass house condominium a hostel, then what would she call a hostel if
she sees one?
Jeslyn entered the bathroom to shower and when she came out, her phone was ringing. She answered the call after seeing the ID.
“Yes,” she rolled her eyes after hearing what he said.
“Mr. Maverick, I already sent you the terms of the contract. You can’t come and I can’t leave. Our visitor’s day just ended yesterday. Instead of you, Rex came, so what can I do?”
Jeslyn smiled when she heard what he said. “There’ll be a week’s break next month. You can come pick me up. I want to visit Valen.”
It’s been two months since lessons started and they were used to the rules by now but Maverick was never used to it. Every day, he calls to pester Jeslyn but Jeslyn was hellbent on following rules.
For two months and two weeks, Jeslyn and Maverick haven’t seen each other and the man was about to expel Celestine Xuan from Country Y for intentionally torturing him. However, knowing that if he did
anything and Jeslyn found out, she would get mad like she did with Piper’s case.
Remembering that day, Maverick’s eyes grew dark. He knew Vera was the reason Jeslyn found out and for that, he had locked Vera in her room for two months, seized her phone, and only made the kitchen prepare her one type of meal… Tasteless vegetable.
Maverick put his phone away with his lips thinned. She wants to see Valen. He narrowed his eyes before standing up and heading out of his room.
Walking past the first floor where Vera’s room was located, Maverick glanced at the door but didn’t stop. Walking down the stairs, the butler hurried forward and bowed.
“Master, Miss Vera refused to eat for two days.”
“She’s not hungry.” He stated and continued to head down.
The Butler, an old man, sighed and shook his head before ordering some maids to bring food to Vera. Inside Vera’s room, she could be seen sitting by the side of her queen–sized bed, hugging her knees. She looked disheveled with huge dark circles. It appeared that she hasn’t slept for days.
When she heard the click of the door, she jolted but seeing it was the Butler and some maids, she
relaxed.
“I told you I’m not eating.” She said in a weak voice.
“Miss, don’t make the mistake of thinking you mean much to Master. You did wrong by leaving little

Master Valen in the hospital and running away. If you think that Master will be gentle with you like he used to, then your fantasy is clap–worthy. If you don’t eat, then you might not be alive to see little Master Valen wake up from a coma to make amends.” With that, the butler ordered the maid to put the food down and leave.
After they left, Vera stared at the vegetable and bit her lip. ‘Endure for a little longer, you’ll be released soon!‘ she told herself and started to force the ‘meal‘ down her throat with tears in her eyes.
Outside the car, Pink, who was sitting in the front passenger seat with Code Two driving the car, cleared her throat and said, “Master, I’m afraid Miss Vera might die.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“So?”
“Shouldn’t she be let out?”
“Why?”
“She’s still Valen’s mother.”
“And?”
Pink sighed, “Jeslyn will not be happy if anything happens to Valen’s mother.”
“Will you tell her?” Maverick cocked a brow.
“No…”
“Good.”
“But she…”
“No buts… Pink!”
“Yes, boss.”
Silence dominated the car until about ten minutes before Maverick broke the silence.
“Has the goods arrived?”
“Code Ten went to the coast to await their arrival,” Pink answered.
“How are you girls doing? Have they completed the task?”
“Yellow was doing better until you called for her. Blue is leading the team now and the field is being cultivated for the plant.” She reported. 2
“What about the Yu family’s field?”
“My girl said they will be harvesting the plant next week.”
“How big is it?”
“My girl wasn’t sure, but she said It’s around 8000-10000 hectares.”
Maverick curled his lips and without further ado, he ordered, “Burn it.”
“Yes, boss.”
“What is the Xu family’s new project?” Maverick asked.
“They are rebuilding the drug companies we destroyed last year.”

“How far have they gone?”
“In three months, they’ll finish rebuilding. Six months from now, they’ll stock the companies and restart their operation.”
“The night before their ribbon cutting, bring the companies to shambles.”
“Yes, boss.”
“The Chen family in Rose City… is too peaceful.”
Pink gave a sinister smile before she responded. “Yes, Boss. However, I’d like to end her myself.”
Maverick stared at her back for a while and replied, “Hmm.”
The black car drove through the City with Maverick delegating tasks.
Meanwhile, Damien was also delegating tasks from his hideout through the phone. 2
“I don’t trust Chaos‘ silence. I suspect he has something planned. Protect my establishment with your lives. If anything goes wrong with the harvesting of my weed farm, kill yourself and your families, else, you’ll wish you were dead. As for Davis, jeopardize his contract with the organization for attacking my ship.”
Even after the call, Damien couldn’t relax. His gut feeling was telling him that Maverick would give him a massive blow to his weak spot this time, but he couldn’t put his fingers on it, until the harvest day.
It was a fine day like every other peaceful day at the field, however, the difference was that this day would be hectic for the workers because they would start harvesting the weed soon.
