“Brother, we both know that's the truth.” Maximus grinned as he continued without a care in the world.“Seems like you want a death wish?” Max growled as he stared at Maximus. He had gotten to his front and was ready to strike at any time.“Brother, when did you get to my front, is something wrong?” Maximus frowned, noticing Max in his front.“I dare you to say that again.” Max frowned.“About that, she's surely hurt.” Maximus grinned, not knowing the consequences of what he was saying.“How dare you have a design on my wife? Who do you think you are?” Max growled softly as a dangerous aura burst out from his body.“Ohh, she's your wife,” Maximus muttered, stroking his chin seemingly nonchalantly.“But anyway, I still like her.”Bang!A loud sound was heard as Max kicked Maximus, sending the latter flying and hitting the iron pole by the side.“Idiot!”“I'd have killed you right now if not for the fact that Father wouldn't like it!' Max growled as he stared at Maximus."You keep your
“Did any of the families retaliate?” Max smiled as he looked at Ethan, who was in his front.“So far, none of the families had done anything, besides, the Edward family had surprisingly found a way not to be called to court despite all the atrocities I had released,” Ethan replied.“Is that so?” Max smiled.Even though he was quite surprised, it wasn't too much, besides, he had expected it. With all the connections the Edward family has, it would not be impossible for them not to be able to evade such a thing.“What should we do next, since they didn't make me move, I think they should have given up?" Ethan's voice came, bringing Max out of his thoughts.“I need to head somewhere, I'll deal with them once I'm back. But then before that, send a word to the four families and ask them to submit to me or else, they'll face destruction.” Max smiled as he stood up.“What of the Jones family?” Ethan asked.“They should also wait until I'm back, I believe they should be able to hold on. Beside
“Yeah, I came, I was told that your husband was sick and wanted to see me, or else I wouldn't have come.” Max shrugged.“Isn't my husband also your father, why call him that way?” Rebecca frowned.“Well, the last time I checked, he wasn't my father. Besides, it's none of your business.” Max smiled as she turned around.“Why don't we go in together, since you want to meet him.” Rebecca smiled as she walked forward toward the VIP ward.“Yeah.” Max shrugged as he walked towards the ward along with Rebecca.Soon the two got to the ward and walked in. The atmosphere in the ward could be described to be chilly. The only thing that could be heard was the constant beeping of the machines.The needles and all other things attached to the figure lying on the bed made him look more like a test subject rather than a patient. Besides, the figure looked so thin from a glance that one would know that he was going through a lot.Max's heart sank seeing this scene. His father must have suffered a lot,
“There you go,” Max smiled as he alighted from the taxi, then gave the driver his money.“Thank you sir, but the fare is not that much, it's just ten dollars.” The driver smiled, looking at the hundred dollar bill in Max's outstretched hands.“Oh,” Max muttered.“Don't worry about that, you can just have it.” Max smiled as he pushed the hundred-dollar bill into the driver's hands and walked away.He wasn't in the mood to seek change, besides, he didn't have one in his pocket. The one inside his pocket was another hundred-dollar bill, and maybe it was going to take him to the airport.“Thank you, sir.” The taxi driver smiled and thanked Max before driving away.Max nodded and watched the taxi disappear into the distance. After a while, he turned around and looked at the building in front of him.In front of him was a restaurant. Looking at the restaurant, memories resurfaced in Max's mind. Before he had a dispute with his father, he would come here with his father and dine once now and
Right behind Max was a charming woman radiating a rather charming aura. If Michelle was said to be cold and unaccommodating just like the Lily flower, then this woman in front of Max would be said to be hot and fiery just like the Torch Ginger.Max took a deep breath as he stared at Cassandra. He felt like ignoring her at the moment, but he knew he had to keep his anger in check.Cassandra was once his fiancée, but everything changed when he left home and wasn't called back by his father. At first, the James family welcomed him, thinking that he would soon be called back home.But after spending a few months with them and wasn't called back, they started to guess that he had been expelled and disowned by the family, after which Cassandra went ahead to break the marriage alliance, and then he was chased out.Max was sure that his father must have heard about it at that time, yet, he didn't do anything about it and just left him to suffer. If not for his foster mother, who then took pit
“Max?” The Short chubby man's face twitched seeing it was Max, and he became flustered, not knowing what to say for about a second.“How have you been, Blunder king? It's been a long time, you know.” Max smiled, patting the man on his shoulder.“My name is William,” The short chubby man said through gritted teeth.“Oops, my bad.” Max grinned.“How have you been, William?”Mark knew William before he went to Atlanta. The latter had been a fat and clumsy person right from the time they were young and had been making many Blunders which earned him the title “Blunder king” from his peers.Even though Max never cared about him and rarely called him by his nickname, he never expected him to end up with Cassandra. Well, it was quite relatable. Williams was from the Anderson family, which was more powerful than the James family, so it was quite normal for the two to be put together.If it was not for the fact that his mother felt that the people from the James family were good, he would have
“Max, don't you think it's a little bit inappropriate to accept such a gift from strangers?” Michelle frowned as she looked at Max, who had a smile on his face.“Nope, there's nothing wrong with it.” Max shook his head. It was already evening time, and he was back in Atlanta and was at his mother's in-law company. Though it was not supposed to take him that long before he returned to Atlanta, he had visited many places in North East, which made him late.“Are you sure the owner is not going to come and demand something later on in the future?” Michelle frowned, feeling rather unsettled as she looked at the car which was worth over a million.“Don't worry about it.” Max shrugged, “Since the gifter had decided to be anonymous, then let it stay that way.”“Are you sure about that?” Michelle frowned, still feeling rather unsettled with the way things were going.“Don't worry, my dear wife, if anything goes wrong, I'll be there to correct it.” Max laughed as he patted his chest.Besides,
“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
