“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
"Don't come any closer." Luke frowned as he stared at Max.He was going to accept defeat this time, there was no way he was going to buy such an expensive necklace. Even if he could, he wouldn't buy it."So are you going to buy it or not?" Max smirked, ignoring Luke's words and walking closer to him."Fine, you won." Like said through gritted teeth as he stared at Max.He couldn't believe he had lost to such a pauper. Well, even though he was unwilling in his heart, there was no way he was going to show it."I won, what?" Max frowned, looking confused."You won, I don't have that amount of money on me." Luke gritted his teeth as he glared at Max.He knew the latter was faking ignorance, but he had to endure it since he had lost the best anyway, he just had to endure what Max would say. Besides, he was hoping that he wouldn't bring up the conditions of the bet."I didn't hear." Max frowned as he stared at Luke with a grin."You..." Luke's blood boiled as he pointed at Max, not hiding t
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
"I didn't remember your daughter telling you to come over." Max furrowed his brows as he appeared to be deep in thought."Does she need to tell me to come over before I come?" Rachel frowned as she stared at Max feeling rather unhappy."Well the last time you came, you almost caused my wife to be violated so, I guess, there's no way you would come.""What do you think you're saying?" Rachel frowned, feeling rather flustered.Max pointing out what she did made her feel rather guilty, but she didn't want to admit it, not in front of someone like him."Besides, I know you didn't come to see your daughter, but rather to check if I was still alive," Max smirked as he stared intensely at Rachel.Rachel's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Max's words were right now. How the hell did he know that it was what she came to do? With the commotion he had caused at Edward's banquet, she was sure that the Edward family wouldn't let him off.But that didn't seem to be the case, Max was still alive and k
