"Divorce my daughter and this would be yours." A feminine voice said staring into the eyes of the young man in front of her with disdain.She felt repulsed talking to him, but at this moment, she has no other choice but to do so. She was sure he was going to be able to refuse her offer since he needed the money rather badly.Max the young man with handsome features stared at the woman in front of him not knowing what to say. The woman in front of him was his mother-in-law and she was demanding that he divorce her daughter so she would give him the money.Couldn't she have some sense of responsibility? He was going to use the money to save his mother and needed it rather badly, but yet she was trying to make things hard for him.He should have known this since the time she asked to meet him at the restaurant. Max felt his anger boiling but there was nothing he could do about it.He couldn't afford just a million to save his mother who was critically ill and needed the money. The delive

Max sighed as he came to a realization. Money was everything. Without money, one was pitiful and there was nothing one would be able to do. Without money, one was the lowest in society.How foolish was he to think he could live a peaceful life by just being a live son-in-law, it seems like he was rather stupid for thinking like this. It was because he didn't have any money and his mother-in-law didn't like him.Also, it was the same reason why she had offered him a large amount of money so he could divorce his wife. Also, he couldn't give his wife what she deserved, and never for once had she complained.At this moment Max was feeling guilty, he knew that there was no way he was going to make it without having money. Without money, nothing was going to work out. He was destined to be trampled on by others.He had seen the evils of society and how they treated those who didn't have money. The ones who didn't have money were destined to be trashed and used as the others wished.They had

At this moment, Ethan was covered in sweat as he watched Max walking out of the building not sparing him a glance. He couldn't help but remember Albert's order not to do anything that was going to displease Max or else he was going to suffer the consequences.Just now, someone had rushed into his office and told him a man named Max Darkwood was looking for him. Immediately, he left what he was doing and rushed down only to see what was happening."You're fired." Ethan gritted his teeth as he pointed at the receptionist and then rushed out to follow Max.The receptionist stood rooted to the spot not knowing what to do. She couldn't believe a man dressed in such a shabby way would have the power to make Mr. Ethan fire her.At the moment, Ethan could care less about his image as he followed Max."Mr. Darkwood, please forgive me and give me another chance." Ethan pleaded as he ran towards Max."I'm sorry, but your time is up already, there's nothing I can do about it," Max said with a rat

"Can't I come here?" Rachel frowned as she stared at her daughter."Mum, every time you come, you end up wanting to make me divorce Max which is impossible, no matter what you'll say I'll never divorce him," Michelle argued."Foolish girl, who said I'm here to make trouble for you both?" Rachel smiled while shooting Max a disdainful glare.She wondered what sort of sorcery Max had used on her daughter that was making her refuse to divorce a useless man like him.There were young masters of many prominent families she could get married to and live a better life other than living in such a crappy place.Her eyes were full of disgust as she looked around. If only her daughter could be more sensible, then she'll be living a good life instead of living such a wretched life.Well, she wasn't to blame, she could only blame her father who had approved of the two marriages before he died. If only he hadn't given his consent then this wouldn't have happened.Max on the other hand didn't care ab

Max's expression changed seeing that the call was disconnected. Immediately, he knew that something was wrong."Mr. Max, if I may ask, what's wrong?" Ethan frowned when he saw Max's unnatural expression."How many minutes from here to the Four Seasons hotel?" Max asked, ignoring Ethan's question."It should take about thirty minutes.""I want to get there in ten minutes.""Sir, the fastest route ignoring all road rules, you'll get there in fifteen minutes.""Fine." Max frowned."Yes sir," Ethan replied and rushed out of his office while Max followed closely.Getting to the garage of the company, Ethan got into a car that Max was sure was his. But then it was none of his concern.Soon the engine of the car came to life and Ethan drove out of the company at a very high speed ignoring everything.-----"I'm sorry Mr. Lucas, but I can drink anymore, we've not even had the chance to talk about the contract." Michelle rejected the toast, her face blushing red as she managed to keep herself
