"So tell me, do you want to go back to your family, or are you happy here?" Max smiled as he looked at Amby who was staring at him.Amby sighed and didn't say anything, she just turned her head away and stared out through the window.Max smiled but didn't say anything, he had brought Amby to Cisco and now they were in Ethan's office while Ethan was out trying to get some work done. Max didn't blame Amby for her actions as anyone would do the same.Breaking ties with one's family was not something that should be taken lightly, but then Max had done so, or rather, he had made it look that way. Well, since he was going to help the Jones family he could care less about it.He only wanted to make them realize that offering off their daughter wasn't the solution. They had to look for other Alternatives. "Why did you decide to help me?" Amby's voice came, bringing Max out of his thoughts.Max smiled as he looked at Amby, he knew how much the girl in front of him wanted to lash out at him, b
"The explosion at RusticFlair Crafts and HomeHarmony Interiors luckily led to no casualties and the police are still trying to find out the cause of the explosion." The Newscaster's voice rang out and a smile appeared on Max's lips.It hadn't been up to twelve hours since he gave the order to Ethan and he had already carried it out. It seemed like he was just waiting for his orders. Well, it was none of his business, that was what they deserved since they had crossed his lane."Max, how's Nebular Enterprise doing? I heard that their stocks suddenly plummeted." Michelle's voice brought out Max from his thoughts"Don't worry about it wifey, they've already taken care of it." Max smiled as he turned to face his wife.He had long lost interest in watching TV. If not for the news that caught his interest, he wouldn't be sitting watching the television, what would happen to the Edward family was none of his business since they had brought it upon themselves anyway."Is there something on my
"What's with the long face Max?" Michelle frowned as she looked at Max who had dark circles under his eyes."It's nothing, I've just gotten used to sleeping by my wife's side and was unable to sleep well yesterday."Michelle's face went red in embarrassment hearing what Max said. She had only him to sleep on her bed just for a night and yet look at the rubbish he was spewing. If she had known that it was what he would say, she wouldn't have asked him what was wrong."Pervert!" Michelle snorted as she walked out of the house."Call me In case you have to work overtime, I'll prepare something for you before you come back." Max heard Michelle's voice as she walked out of the house.Max sighed immediately Michelle walked out of the house. He wasn't able to have a good sleep the night before due to the news Maximus had brought to him. No matter how much he tried to push the matter away from his mind, it just kept coming back.Throughout the night, he just kept turning and tossing around una
“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
