(The Next Day)"I'm off to the office, the taxi I ordered is waiting for me outside." Michelle smiled as she rushed out of the house after bidding Max goodbye."Take care wifey," Max yelled at the disappearing figure of Michelle.He was still in high spirits, yesterday's night was quite a memorable night for him. Even though he didn't get to do anything, he was able to hug his wife to sleep. It felt quite good.Well, he was sure that in no time, Michelle was going to open up completely to him and the facades she put up would be gone. He could tell how much she loved him even though she always pretended she didn't.Pushing the thoughts to the back of his mind, he hurriedly finished his food. He still had some things to do so he couldn't stay at home all day long.In no time, he was done dressing up and was out of the house. But then there came a dilemma, he didn't know where to head first.Even though he had some business with Ethan, he didn't want to go now, he was quite sure Ethan wo
The young man frowned hearing the voice and turned to look around. Immediately, his gaze came in contact with Max who had his hands in his pocket and was walking towards him like he was taking a stroll at the pack.At the moment, he couldn't help but frown. Where the hell did this man come from, he was wearing such cheap clothes and yet he had the mind to say such a big word. It seems like the world had changed."Thanks for the help, you may leave, don't worry, no one would be able to do anything to you." Max waved his hands at the truck driver.Immediately, the driver started the truck and drove away before anyone could come back to their senses.The crowd was in awe as they didn't understand what was happening. But then they weren't fools, a poor guy was challenging a second-rich generation. Well, it was going to be a sight to behold.They couldn't wait to see how it was going to develop. Well, they could already guess the end. The poor guy would be suppressed by the rich guy and he
"Which type of car would you like to buy sir?" One of the sales girls smiled as she approached Max.All the sales girls had witnessed what happened earlier, so they were afraid of talking to him. It took a lot of courage from the sales girls who had approached him."Which kind of cars do you think would be best for a female?" Max frowned as he was in a dilemma.He hadn't considered which kind of car he was going to get for Michelle and had just walked into the store without thinking about it."We have Mercedes Benz and some other products, I'll show you around if you want." The sales girl replied while gulping down some Saliva.The pressure Max had on her was quite great and she felt her legs shaking. She could feel the gazes of the others on her while they attended to the other customers. She could tell that they were mocking her as it didn't seem like Max was going to get a car.If it was not because of what had happened outside just now, they would have already ridiculed him and or
"Just who are you?" Max sighed suppressing his anger as the lady in his front might be someone he knew."Since you don't remember me anymore, I wouldn't mind introducing myself once again." The lady smiled as she stared at Max."I'm Rebecca Johnson""Rebecca?"Max gasped upon hearing the name. He didn't expect to meet her here of all places. Back at the college, she was one of those who had always ridiculed him and told him that he wouldn't be able to make it in life.But since he didn't put them in his eyes, it was normal for him to forget about someone as insignificant as her. Well, he could be less bothered about her, besides, his life was much better than hers."So now, you know who I am." Rebecca's voice came pulling Max out of his thoughts."I didn't expect to meet you here out of all places." Mark smiled as he stared at her."You know I didn't expect you to be doing well yourself." Rebecca sneered as she stared at Max, the disdain in her way was rather evident."What are you do
"Sir, we've arrived at your destination." The driver smiled, turning around to look at Max who seemed deep in thought.It was already the evening of the next day and Max was headed to the Four Seasons hotel to have a meal as he was incredibly hungry right after running some errands for his wife.The car store had yet to deliver the car to his wife because he had asked them to make sure to complete all the processes before presenting it to her so it was going to take some days."Ooh," Max muttered as he was forcibly brought out of his thoughts by the driver, "Thanks, old man." He continued as alighted from the taxi before paying the man.Looking at the huge building right in front of him, a smile appeared on his face as he walked into the hotel."What a coincidence?" Max muttered under his breath just as he walked past the lobby.He could see that the parking lot of the hotel was full and there were still incoming cars. It was then Max remembered what Ethan told him some days ago."It
Immediately everyone turned towards the voice wondering who the hell had such courage to say such things in the banquet. Soon, the audience started to whisper to each other. It was obvious that they had recognized who the person was."Who's that?!""Shhhh... Don't ask questions like that! That's Andrew Watson, the heir of the Waston family!""So the Waston family are at the banquet?!""If they don't come, wouldn't that mean not giving face to the Edward family? Besides, the Parkers, Reeds, and the Greys are also present, so you have to watch your attitude later!""But, that young man must have snuck his way in!""Who cares, it's his rotten luck for him to have caught the attention of the Waston family!"Max's frown deepened as the conversation of the audience drifted into his ears. Even though he didn't seem to know the man in front of him, he could still vaguely guess the reason."Do I have any business with you?" Max frowned looking at the man in front of him."Don't you think he's t
"Huh!"A collective gasp could be heard from the crowd as they slowly turned to look at the source of the voice wondering who was so brave to say such a thing.Amby on the other hand who was on the stage was shocked. She just couldn't believe her ears, wasn't that the person she had just chatted with? Why did he have to speak up for her in such a dangerous situation?She firmly believed that Max would be unable to do anything as he was just too powerless. Any of the random guests in the palace could crush him with just a lift of their finger and yet he was so brave to speak.Each one of the guests' presents controlled nothing less than a hundred million. She must say that he was very brave, but then it was foolishness if she had known, she wouldn't have talked to him, she had to look for a way to help him.At one side of the banquet was seated Ethan with a smile on his face, he didn't understand what the young master of the Darkwood family was doing here. But then, come to think of it
Crack!The sound of someone heavily hitting and breaking the tables and chairs resounded throughout the banquet.All the audience watched as the young master of the Edward family groaned in pain from the impact of the kick. None of them dared to move to help him as their brains were all blank.It wasn't as if they didn't want to help, but they didn't want to be involved in the conflict. They could feel that the insufferable arrogant young man had a quite strong backing or else, he wouldn't be so bold to act in such a way.Even if it was that way, they were sure that no matter how powerful he was, there was no way he would be able to win against the Edward family. They wanted to watch the show, but then they could only keep quiet and see what happens next."Ohh, there you are Ethan." Max's voice brought out the Audience from their thoughts."I didn't expect to meet you here, young master." Ethan smiled immediately and stood up from his seat in respect towards Max who was walking toward
