Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law I'm Sorry But You're Not Worth My Time
Michelle's face went red with embarrassment due to the way Max held her, but she didn't struggle, instead, she snuggled closer to him subconsciously as she felt a sense of securityShe was just about to be overwhelmed by the senseless guy in front of her, but here he was, appearing in times of difficulty. Even though she wondered what he was doing at the hotel, she wasn't in the mood to ask any questions.Max on the other had a triumphant smile noticing Michelle's action. His wife knew how to act even though he was sure to receive some scolding when they went back home. Well, then first, he was going to enjoy the embrace of his wife.David's face turned black seeing as the two were acting lovey-dovey. He wished he could kill Max and take his place. But then no matter what he had to save himself some embarrassment and ask Max for an explanation."And what do you think you're doing? If you both can't wait, you should go get a room." A sneer came just as David was about to say something.
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Settled
The first person was an old man who walked rather slowly towards the scene. Behind him was another man who walked rather slowly behind the old man."Old geezer, I thought you left already?" Max frowned seeing Albert."Young Master, I'm sorry, but I was the one who delayed Mr. Albert as I needed some help with something." Ethan who was behind Albert replied hurriedly, afraid that Max was going to say something that would anger the old man."I see," Max muttered as he turned back to stare at Thomas."And what did you say just now?" Max continued as he stared at Thomas."I..." Thomas shuttered not knowing what to say. He just couldn't believe his eyes.He was not blind nor was he deaf and could see the way Ethan treated Max and the old man. From apthe way Ethan acted, it seemed like the fear he had toward Max was even greater than the one he had for the old man.Who the hell was Max? He racked his brain, but there was no answer. No matter how much he thought, he just couldn't bring himse
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Would You Come With Me
"Who was that with you today?" Michelle frowned as she stared at Max who seemed deep in thought."That was my younger sister." Max shrugged."How come I never knew you had a younger sister?" Michelle frowned as she turned to stare at Max."I'd suggest you face the road, or else I'm afraid we might have an accident." Max forced a smile seeing Michelle glare at him.They had already left the hotel and were heading back home, Max had already arranged for Amby to be taken home so he left rather unbothered with Michelle. But then he didn't expect her to ask him about Amby right away."Hmph!"Michelle snorted coldly before concentrating on the road. It was already late at night so there were no cars on the road. Even though she was feeling rather grateful to Max as he had come to her rescue when she needed him.She couldn't help but wonder what he was doing at the hotel by that time of the day. But then remembering Ethan and that old man, another thought came to her mind.Could it be that h
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Yes, I'll Go
(The Next Day)"Are you going to pick me up?" Michelle smiled as she looked at Max who came down from the car."Yeah." Max nodded as he walked away with a smile.Max sighed as he watched Michelle walk into the company. She hadn't replied to him since he asked her if she was going to go to North East with him. She had been avoiding the topic like a plague.Even though he didn't ask her again after noticing it, he couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her. Besides, he wasn't able to read her expression nor did he know what was going on in her head.He was just too confused as to what her silence meant. If she was thinking about the fact that she was going to be jobless once they got to North East, then it was just a baseless worry as he was going to arrange one for her should she want.Max sighed as he pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind, since she didn't say anything, he wasn't going to say anything instead. He was sure he would know what her choice was in the next three
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Your Third-rate Family
Max frowned as he turned around to look at the figure who had just called him. The voice sounded rather familiar to him yet distant which made him wonder who it was."So it's you, huh?" A mocking smile appeared on Max's when he turned around and saw who it was."It hasn't even been a week yet and you're talking as if you'll ever miss me?" Max chuckled, staring at Rachel who was walking towards him with a scowl on her face."What do you think you're doing Max?" Rachel frowned at Max."What did I do?" Max frowned, feeling rather confused as to what his mother-in-law was accusing him of.Even though they weren't on good terms, he was sure that she wouldn't act rashly when they met again, but here she was, behaving as if he had done something grave to her."You mean to say you don't know what you've done?" Rachel frowned."Yeah, we've not crossed each other's way for quite some time now, how would I know what I've done wrong?" Max furrowed his brow feeling rather confused."And you still
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law I'm Helpless
"And here you are Michelle." Max smiled, turning around to look at his wife who had just arrived.It seemed like she had just walked out of the company, and was maybe attracted by the commotion as there was no one in the company, so their voices were rather loud."Michelle, you won't be going to North East with him." Rachel frowned as she turned to look at her daughter."Mum, Max's my husband, so I'll go with him wherever he wants." Michelle shook her head as she said stubbornly.A smile appeared on Max's lips hearing this. It seemed like there was no need to argue with his mother-in-law"Michelle," Rachel sighed as she looked at her daughter, "You don't know how dangerous North East is, it's not a place where one without enough footings can just head to.""I know Mum, but there's nothing you'll say that'll make me change my mind." Michelle shook her head.She had long heard stories about how dangerous North East was. She wouldn't have thought of work if it was not for the fact that i
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Leaving
"Max, didn't you say the flight is by 2." Michelle frowned as she looked at the watch anxiously."Yes, wifey." Max's voice came from within the house as it sounded like he was doing something."It's almost two, aren't we going to be late," Michelle yelled."Calm down, wifey, we won't be late, the plane will wait for us even if we are late." Max chuckled as he walked out of the room pulling two bags."Wait for you?" Michelle frowned as she glared at Max.In the past two days, Max's boasting skill had reached a new whole height as he even dared to say that the plane would wait for them even if they were late."Won't you take any of your luggage?" Michelle frowned looking at the bags in Max's hands.The bags in his hands were not hers, he had insisted on leaving behind everything saying they would get a new set once they got to North East. It wasn't even after a lot of trouble that she was able to pack some things."Don't worry, I've got it all covered." Max smiled as he put down Michell
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Visit
"Young master, we've arrived." Albert's voice sounded jolting Max out of his thoughts.Max looked up at the building they just pulled into and couldn't help but shake his head. It was a big villa and could be said to be the biggest one right after the one next to it which was where his father lived.Well, since he had no plans of living elsewhere, he might as well live here as he didn't want to waste money. His father had built this villa for him at that time saying he should live here even if he didn't want to see him.But Max, being stubborn, didn't listen to him and directly left North East altogether along with his foster mother at that time. Well, there was no use in reliving the past, he just had to focus on the present and leave whatever would be coming in the future to come."Max, don't you think this house is too big?" Michelle frowned as she whispered into Max's ears just as they got out of the car.She hadn't expected the butler to bring them to such a luxurious building. B

End
Just as Max and Michelle drove away from the jewelry store, two figures walked out of the alley just by the side.Thank you readers!One was an old man who had a white beard, the other was a young man with handsome features. Both had a kind of aura that made the people around them automatically ignore them."Master, aren't you going to meet him?" The young man asked as he looked at the old man curiously."Jackson, Max is far better off living an ordinary life, there's no need for us to pull him into our chaotic lives." The old man shook his head as he walked away from the place."But master, you said he's a once-in-a-century genius, I'm sure he'll appreciate it," Jackson asked, not wanting to give up.The old man sighed and shook his head looking at the young man, sighing he looked away. After a moment of silence, he said."I know I said that, but that was his mother's wish. He's far better off living as a rich young master.""But he's talented, we've been around for the past few mont

Proposal
"Who wanted to see me?" An arrogant voice came after about five minutes just as the sales girl went to call the manager.Thank you readers!"It's me." Max frowned as he looked at the Manager.Immediately the manager saw Max, his body trembled with fear, what the hell was this devil doing here?Others might not know, but he knew rather too well, that Max was the one who brought down the Nightshade family. Though he didn't know much about the details, the little he knew made him shiver and it was as though he was going to pee in his pants."Come over." Max waved his hands as he said."I'm sorry, Mr. Darkwood, I didn't know you were the one." The Manager immediately ran over as he greeted Max.The expression of the onlookers changed as they watched the scene. Seems like a plot twist was about to happen. Even though the Manager was respectful to Max, they could tell that he wouldn't be so crazy to the point where he would just give him the Fiery Ruby ring for free.It was impossible, if i

Bet
In a flash, two months had passed, and Amby and Ana, Max's foster mother had long returned to Atlanta.Thank you readers!At the moment, it was only the four people inside the Villa, coupled with the maids and others."Old man, we'll be going now." Max smiled as he looked at Albert."Alright take care." Albert nodded as he looked at Max and Michelle who were going out.Max smiled as he walked out of the Villa with Michelle, getting out of the Villa, they entered the car and drove out. This time, it was Max who was driving."Where are we headed?" Michelle sighed as he looked at Max.She wondered why the latter had told her to get dressed and that he was going to take her out today."You'll see." Max smiled as he stepped even harder on the accelerator of the car and it shot forward going faster than before.In no time, ten minutes passed, and Max pulled up in front of a jewelry shop. But then at that moment, there were roses all over the Jewelry shop, the red roses were laid in such a w

Verdict
"Having reviewed all evidence presented and heard the arguments from both sides, the court finds that all necessary matters in this case have been sufficiently addressed." The Judge frowned as he read out slowly.Thank you readers!"I hereby sentence David Nightshade to a death sentence by hanging for the murder of seven doctors and their families. And Rebecca Nightshade to life imprisonment and hard labor for attempted murder.""And as for the assassin, he's also sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of seven doctors and their families." The judge passed his verdict as he hit his gavel on the table.Immediately after the judge passed his verdict, the policemen who were stationed in the court immediately moved forward, apprehended the criminals, and escorted them out of the courtroom."Ladies and gentlemen, please rise. The Honorable Judge Smith is now exiting the courtroom. The court is now dismissed." The bailiff said as he stood up.Immediately, everyone in the courtroom sto

Shock
The next day, Michelle smiled as she helped Max wear his clothes. Since one of his arms was broken, he needed someone to help him do things.Thank you, readers!"Alright, I'll also go and dress up, we should go early to the Court." Michelle smiled as she kissed Max's cheeks before walking out of the room."Young Master, shall we go?" Albert smiled as he walked into the room.He was in a good mood, as he couldn't wait to see the expression on the Nightshade family's face."Since we are going to be in the limelight today, let's delay our going a little bit." Max grinned."Besides, where's the assassin?" Max asked."We'll be taking him along with us to the court, he has a lot of testimony to do." Albert smiled."Is my mother and Amby going?""Yeah, they said they wanted to go," Albert replied."Alright, allow me to take something." Max turned around as he walked towards the drawer.Pushing it open, he fumbled around the drawer for about a minute or two before retrieving a flash drive.Af

Max Is Dead
In no time, it was already two days since the Darkwood family announced Max's death. They had been silent and didn't do or say anything.As for the consideration that the Young Master was murdered, they directly threw it out of the window. They didn't even allow the police to investigate the matter, they decided to let it go.At the moment, in the Darkwood family, Micheal was sitting on the Sofa while watching TV. It had been two days since Max had gone unconscious and yet, he was not awake.Dr. Nicholas had assured him that Max was just tired as such his body was taking this chance to fully recover."Master, the young master has woken up." Albert's excited voice came just as Micheal was lost in his thoughts.Immediately, Micheal discarded his thoughts and stood up following Albert to Max's room.They had taken Max away from the hospital since he wasn't in any form of coma or anything.Walking into Max's room, Micheal smiled as he stood at the door looking at Max who had sat up with t

Is The Assassination Successful
"Aren't you supposed to be unable to move?" The assassin frowned as he looked at Max who had stood up."That's a question you should ask Hades." Max grinned and punched the assassin's abdomen, at the same time, he raised his good leg and kicked his groin.The assassin couldn't care less about the pain in his body and still tried to escape, but it was too late, he was already surrounded by the men Albert brought along with him.They rushed out of the car as soon as they could and immediately stopped. Nothing could happen to the Young Master."Young Master." Albert cried as he rushed towards Max.Looking at the state Max was, he could see that he was battered, and even his bones were broken.Thankfully, he had thought about this and had invited Dr. Nicholas to go with them. Besides, there was a lot of equipment that could be used to treat Max inside the car."Mr. Albert, I'm afraid we'll have to rush the young master to the hospital for proper treatment. He's poisoned." Dr. Nicholas fro

It's Too Late
The assassin groaned in pain as he was not expecting Max's move. But being a professional, he knew he couldn't allow the latter to gain the upper hand by picking up the gun, it would be game over.Immediately, he kicked the gun with all his strength sending it into the fire burning not far from them. His kick was quite powerful, and that was what ended up happening.Max frowned seeing this, though he wasn't expecting this, he knew he could hold out until Albert and the others would arrive.Without a care in the world, he punched the assassin again, the latter groaned in pain as he moved back.But at the moment, the dirt in the assassin's eyes had already been cleared, now his eyesight had been restored."I didn't expect you to be this sharp." The man grinned as he pulled out a pocket knife.Max frowned seeing this, he knew he couldn't allow the other party to touch him with the knife as he didn't know if it was poisoned or not."Well,. it's just as you've guessed, the knife is poisono

You'll Be Dead Anyway
Watching the assassination Scene, Rebecca, David, and Victor couldn't help but smile. Finally, they were going to get rid of their nemesis. As long as Max would get killed that night, they were sure that they would be able to win the fight.As for what the Darkwood family would do, they couldn't care less about that. There was no evidence whatsoever, besides, they had planned it rather carefully, it wouldn't be a surprise if no one was able to find a loophole in their action.Looking back at the screen, they watched as Max hid in the backseat of the car while shivering. There was no way he would be able to contact the Darkwood family. Even if he was able to, it would take too long before they arrived.According to her deduction, Max was surely going to die, there was no way out. He had to die even if he didn't want to.The assassin also stopped shooting after discovering that he couldn't see Max again. Knowing well that the latter had hidden inside the car, he decided to wait for five
