“Huh!”The crowd watching the scene froze as they couldn't believe what had just happened. Was the man right in front of them insane?He should be angry that he was called useless, rather, it seemed like he was happy about it and even boasted about it.“Good one, you almost got me. I didn't know you were that useless.” Janet laughed as she was the first to recover from the shock.“Well, I don't think your laugh would last too long.” Max smiled as he walked towards the glass.Coming back after calling Ethan, he had seen Michelle looking at a particular necklace, though he wasn't able to see the price tag on the necklace, he was sure that the price was quite high, now, taking a closer look at the necklace, he was sure about it.The necklace Michelle was looking at cost over fifteen million, but the trash behind him had thought that she was looking at a necklace of just three hundred thousand. How could his wife look at such a low-end commodity? Things were getting very intriguing.“Now

The ride back home with Michelle was quite a boring one. Max, who had been expecting his wife to throw him a series of questions, was quite surprised that she didn't ask any questions about how he had gotten such a huge amount of money.Though he was quite shocked, he didn't show it and didn't say anything. Since she didn't ask, he wasn't going to say anything about it. Besides, even if she asked him, he wouldn't tell her the truth.She wouldn't be able to handle it if he told her the truth so even though he was going to lie, there would be some elements of truth in it. Besides, if he was going to lie all through, his wife was quite intelligent so she wouldn't want to believe him.Well, it wasn't a big deal anyway, there was no harm in telling her a bit out of it. At the very least, it would be convenient for him in the future."Max, what are you thinking about?" Michelle's voice came, bringing Max out of his thoughts."Nothing," Max replied quickly.Michelle smiled and nodded as she

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Michael sighed softly as he looked at Albert."Master, we have no other choice at this point, if you don't want the family to go on the decline and be finished, we just have to do it." Albert sighed as he looked at the old master on the bed with a heavy heart.The situation in the company was slowly getting out of hand and there was no way he would be able to manage it. Once news got out that the Darkwood family was on the decline, only God knew the kinds of attacks they were going to face from their enemies."But do you think he would agree?" Micheal sighed feeling rather helpless."Master, we don't have another choice. We both know that you can't pass the inheritance to Maximus and only Max would be able to help with the predicament right now.""But..."Micheal sighed not knowing what else to say. He didn't want to invite his son back. All he wanted was for him to live a good life. He didn't want to burden his son with the liabilities of taking

"Huh!"Max froze upon hearing Albert's statement. His mind was in turmoil as he didn't know how to feel.He had been in pain since yesterday when he saw his father on the hospital bed like a test subject and knew that his health was declining with each second, thus he was curious to know what had happened to him.Even though he had hidden his curiosity rather too well, Albert had still seen it. It seemed like there was nothing he could hide from that old man."And what does his condition have to do with mine?" Max frowned as she turned around. "I'm me, and he's himself, we don't have any relationship."Albert smiled slightly even though he didn't allow the smile to show, he knew that Max's question was just to hide his curiosity. He knew Max rather too well and knew he was fiaFilla.There was no way he wouldn't want to know what had happened to his father, the only thing was that he was unwilling to give up the grievance between the two of them. Besides, Max was rather too stubborn.

Max's lips pressed into a thin line as he felt the warmth of his mother's palm on his. He had accepted what she said, but she could still smell the doubt in him.He was such a good kid and deserved better rather than staying under the feet of others.“Take care of yourself, Max, and don’t go back on your word. Make sure to accept the inheritance and become a better person than your dad” she said and Max felt like the entire weight was lifted off his shoulders.“Okay, mom. I have to go now. Take care of yourself and call me if you need anything” he smiled while caressing her palm.“I will. Don’t just spoil me too much” she giggled.“I don’t mind,” he teased before walking out.However, now that she was nursed to good health, he would worry less about how bad her condition was before. That aside, Max had somewhere important to be.He rushed out and boarded a taxi to four-seasons hotel. After getting to the VIP ward, he saw Amby was already there waiting for him.“I see you are as prompt
