Chapter 19
He brought Bella to meetings with his assistant and legal team.
“Mr. Rhodes, the previous arrangements have been executed. The Hartwell family’s key industry stocks have dropped significantly.”
“The Hartwell enterprises are in an unfavorable position, but it’s not enough to determine they lack child–rearing capability.”
Maverick tapped the materials on the table.
“Release the news before court opens that the Hartwell family faces bankruptcy liquidation.”
“Expose the car accident from the day we returned from the hospital, directing public opinion toward the Hartwell family.”
“I must ensure that when court convenes, the Hartwell family only has blood relation as their advantage.”
I listened carefully, finally understanding how much preparation Maverick had made.
“So on the way back from the hospital that day, something did happen…”
But Maverick’s arrangements successfully resolved the crisis.
“Uncle, you really protected Bella and me well.”
Watching Maverick handle everything so methodically, I stopped worrying.
“My Bella won’t have any more concerns.”
I looked at Bella quietly flipping through picture books.
The emotions that had been weighing on my heart were slowly dissipating.
The court date arrived shortly after this meeting ended.
The Hartwell family indeed tried to use blood relations as their argument.
As Maverick presented evidence piece by piece, the Hartwell family had no power to fight back.
My confidence grew stronger.
“Fortunately, Bella’s check–up results were good, and Maverick gets along well with her.”
“The Hartwell family has no way to manipulate this in a short time.”
I pressed my chest, watching the verdict fall.
This lawsuit that we had initiated by seizing the advantage resulted in victory.
Maverick completed the adoption relationship documentation with Bella in the shortest time possible.
I looked at Bella and Maverick, sighing softly: “Everything is finally over.”
“Bella now has a new home and is legally recognized as Maverick’s family.”
After getting home, Maverick carried Bella to her room to rest while I went over to the tatami and looked out at the sky.
The weather was nice, the sky was the blue I liked.

“I have no more obsessions in my heart.”
But I still felt a bit heavy.
I could feel the force pulling me was weakening.
I murmured to myself: “I just regret not being able to stay until Bella grows up.”
Just then I heard Bella’s happy laughter.
I turned to see Maverick dressed formally with Bella in a white dress sitting on his shoulder.
My eyes lit up.
“Bella looks so cute dressed like this, like a little angel.”
Actually, Bella was already my angel.
Without Bella, I couldn’t have lasted until now.
But I was puzzled about what Maverick was planning with this formal appearance.
“The last time I saw Maverick dressed so formally was at my wedding.”
Maverick wore an exquisite black suit, clearly custom–made.
The cuffs were embroidered with subtle patterns, the left and right cufflinks were different, though I couldn’t see clearly.
A white rose was pinned to his left chest with a brooch.
“The tie clip on his tie is the one I gave him at my coming–of–age ceremony.”
This was the only decoration I could immediately recognize.
“Maverick only wears custom everything from head to toe for very important occasions.”
“Are they going to take commemorative photos?”
But the answer I got was something I never expected.
“Go see Mommy!” Bella said happily.
Maverick also smiled gently.
“Bella, you can’t take back what you promised me.”
Bella nodded seriously at Maverick: “You can’t take it back either.”
Maverick lifted Bella down from his shoulder.
Bella stood on the ground while Maverick crouched to her eye level.
His tone was unprecedentedly solemn.
“I will never take it back.”
