Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Oh, It's You
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
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law I'm That Useless Husband
“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,
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Buy Or Suffer The Consequences
“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
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Confused
"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
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Truth
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
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Annoying
"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
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Would It Work?
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Michael sighed softly as he looked at Albert."Master, we have no other choice at this point, if you don't want the family to go on the decline and be finished, we just have to do it." Albert sighed as he looked at the old master on the bed with a heavy heart.The situation in the company was slowly getting out of hand and there was no way he would be able to manage it. Once news got out that the Darkwood family was on the decline, only God knew the kinds of attacks they were going to face from their enemies."But do you think he would agree?" Micheal sighed feeling rather helpless."Master, we don't have another choice. We both know that you can't pass the inheritance to Maximus and only Max would be able to help with the predicament right now.""But..."Micheal sighed not knowing what else to say. He didn't want to invite his son back. All he wanted was for him to live a good life. He didn't want to burden his son with the liabilities of taking

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
