Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law You Have To Go
"Mum, how have you been?" Max smiled as he looked at his mum sitting up on the bed while he sat beside her.The woman didn't look skinny again and she had got visibly better. She had a smile on her face as she looked at Max."Your mum has been well," Ana smiled as she dotingly caressed Max's hair."I'll tell the doctor to discharge me, I'm better now, besides I still need to work." Ana continued."No mum, the doctors can't discharge you. You're not better, stay for a few days so you'll recover completely. Besides, you don't have to work anymore, I'm earning enough and can take good care of you." Max shook his head as he refused."Silly child." Ana smiled not knowing what to say.She knew her son well since he wanted her to rest more, then she was going to rest until she recovered completely.Suddenly Ana frowned as she looked at her son. Even though he didn't say it, she was sure that he was troubled by something even though she couldn't say what was wrong."Son, what's wrong?" Ana fr
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law When Did I Agree
Max's lips pressed into a thin line as he felt the warmth of his mother's palm on his. He had accepted what she said, but she could still smell the doubt in him.He was such a good kid and deserved better rather than staying under the feet of others.“Take care of yourself, Max, and don’t go back on your word. Make sure to accept the inheritance and become a better person than your dad” she said and Max felt like the entire weight was lifted off his shoulders.“Okay, mom. I have to go now. Take care of yourself and call me if you need anything” he smiled while caressing her palm.“I will. Don’t just spoil me too much” she giggled.“I don’t mind,” he teased before walking out.However, now that she was nursed to good health, he would worry less about how bad her condition was before. That aside, Max had somewhere important to be.He rushed out and boarded a taxi to four-seasons hotel. After getting to the VIP ward, he saw Amby was already there waiting for him.“I see you are as prompt
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law I'll Come
Albert's mouth twitched slightly hearing Max's words. There was nothing he could do against the latter as he was just too haughty. Besides, he knew he couldn't force it, he just had to be patient.But how long could he wait for? What was the problem? He had only a week to convince Max and yet it seemed like he made no progress. He just couldn't think of a way to convince him."Young master." Albert sighed as he began.He wanted Max to go back to North East and put those arrogant families in place. Lately, they've all been too arrogant with no one to put them in place, besides, the family was in a dire situation and he was needed as he was the family's trump card."Go back to North East, I'll come back soon." Max's voice came, interrupting Albert's train of thoughts."Huh?"Albert froze as he allowed Max's words to sink. He couldn't believe that Max would agree just like that, it was like a dream to him."But on a condition." Max frowned as he looked at Albert who looked rather confused
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law In All Aspects
Michelle frowned as she looked around wondering where the others were. She had been standing for over ten minutes and yet she hadn't seen any of her classmates. Didn't they say they were going to meet at The Four Seasons Hotel?She had taken her time to dress up and she didn't even tell Max that she was coming here. It was just a class reunion and she couldn't afford for him to be humiliated as she knew he wouldn't dress well.There was nothing she would say that would make him dress well which was why she had decided not to tell him nor bring him along. At this point, Michelle was beginning to get impatient and angry."Look who's here?" A chuckle came just as Michelle was about to lose her patience.Turning around, Michelle came face to face with some figures dressed luxuriously and in heavy makeup."Why are you guys so late?" Michelle frowned as she looked at the group."You're still as punctual as usual." One of the figures smiled as she looked at Michelle."Yeah, it's been three y
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law I'm Sorry But You're Not Worth My Time
Michelle's face went red with embarrassment due to the way Max held her, but she didn't struggle, instead, she snuggled closer to him subconsciously as she felt a sense of securityShe was just about to be overwhelmed by the senseless guy in front of her, but here he was, appearing in times of difficulty. Even though she wondered what he was doing at the hotel, she wasn't in the mood to ask any questions.Max on the other had a triumphant smile noticing Michelle's action. His wife knew how to act even though he was sure to receive some scolding when they went back home. Well, then first, he was going to enjoy the embrace of his wife.David's face turned black seeing as the two were acting lovey-dovey. He wished he could kill Max and take his place. But then no matter what he had to save himself some embarrassment and ask Max for an explanation."And what do you think you're doing? If you both can't wait, you should go get a room." A sneer came just as David was about to say something.
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Settled
The first person was an old man who walked rather slowly towards the scene. Behind him was another man who walked rather slowly behind the old man."Old geezer, I thought you left already?" Max frowned seeing Albert."Young Master, I'm sorry, but I was the one who delayed Mr. Albert as I needed some help with something." Ethan who was behind Albert replied hurriedly, afraid that Max was going to say something that would anger the old man."I see," Max muttered as he turned back to stare at Thomas."And what did you say just now?" Max continued as he stared at Thomas."I..." Thomas shuttered not knowing what to say. He just couldn't believe his eyes.He was not blind nor was he deaf and could see the way Ethan treated Max and the old man. From apthe way Ethan acted, it seemed like the fear he had toward Max was even greater than the one he had for the old man.Who the hell was Max? He racked his brain, but there was no answer. No matter how much he thought, he just couldn't bring himse
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Would You Come With Me
"Who was that with you today?" Michelle frowned as she stared at Max who seemed deep in thought."That was my younger sister." Max shrugged."How come I never knew you had a younger sister?" Michelle frowned as she turned to stare at Max."I'd suggest you face the road, or else I'm afraid we might have an accident." Max forced a smile seeing Michelle glare at him.They had already left the hotel and were heading back home, Max had already arranged for Amby to be taken home so he left rather unbothered with Michelle. But then he didn't expect her to ask him about Amby right away."Hmph!"Michelle snorted coldly before concentrating on the road. It was already late at night so there were no cars on the road. Even though she was feeling rather grateful to Max as he had come to her rescue when she needed him.She couldn't help but wonder what he was doing at the hotel by that time of the day. But then remembering Ethan and that old man, another thought came to her mind.Could it be that h
Tangled Fortunes: The Enigmatic Son-in-Law Yes, I'll Go
(The Next Day)"Are you going to pick me up?" Michelle smiled as she looked at Max who came down from the car."Yeah." Max nodded as he walked away with a smile.Max sighed as he watched Michelle walk into the company. She hadn't replied to him since he asked her if she was going to go to North East with him. She had been avoiding the topic like a plague.Even though he didn't ask her again after noticing it, he couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her. Besides, he wasn't able to read her expression nor did he know what was going on in her head.He was just too confused as to what her silence meant. If she was thinking about the fact that she was going to be jobless once they got to North East, then it was just a baseless worry as he was going to arrange one for her should she want.Max sighed as he pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind, since she didn't say anything, he wasn't going to say anything instead. He was sure he would know what her choice was in the next three

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

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

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
