Maxwell had spent two years of his life in prison and had seen people like that. They were always in their little group doing one thing or the other.

While in the prison, he saw them sell drugs amongst inmates. And the worst was that most the prison warders were aware of the businesses going on at the place.

These criminals were sent to correctional centers to become better people and stop crime.

    “Of all the people in the world, why does it have to be your face I get to see first? Please, get out of my sight. I want to have nothing to do with you.”Maxwell scrutinized the lady before him in a dirty look and began to walk away. At that moment, all he felt for Angel was hate and his plan was to exert his revenge when the time was right. However, she ran after him, stopping right in front of him.Maxwell had just been released from prison and was stunned to see that it was the b*tch standing before him. The same woman that had plotted with the Morgans and sent him to where he was coming out from.“Please Max, let me drop you off.” Angel was standing before him and pleading with a sober face. “I know you're angry with me right now. I'm also angry with myself for what I did and I want to make up for it. Let me make it up to you.”“Hmph.” Maxwell's lips curled into a sneer as he chuckled. “You want to make it up to me. Haha. That's really interesting and so nice of you.”Folding

    “How did you get this?” Maxwell could not believe his eyes. On his hands were important documents of many assets that had his name in it.“Well, you can start by saying a thank you to me. Maybe after that, the questions may start coming.”Maxwell frowned and turned his face away. “How did you get this documents?” He repeated his question but Angel didn't answer it.“That question is not necessary. What's important now is how to take back all that belongs to you. Look Max, you've been stolen from and cheated for many years. All you should think about now is to kick those criminals out of your properties.”Maxwell was quiet. He was no longer ignorant of the whole thing. In fact, he was thinking so hard on how to take back his parents' legacy. Fortunately, everything had just been made easier for him by the same woman who joined forces with his oppressors and sent him to prison.What was really happening? Maxwell was in a state of bewilderment.He stole a glance at the lady whose gaze was

    “What the heck are you doing here? How dare you show your face here again?” Maxwell watched with his hands akinbo as his ex father in-law yelled in frustration. It was a surprise that he was at home at that time of the day. Maybe he came back for lunch?Rising to his feet, he raced to the door to call security on Maxwell. However, the latter couldn't care less about the man as he went ahead and settled on the sofa.“Honey, I heard your voice from up here. Who are you yelling at?” Patricia Morgan’s voice was heard as she descended the stairs. However, when her eyes fell on Maxwell, she instantly froze and gaped at him for a while.When she managed to regain herself, she yelled at Maxwell. “Who the heck are you and what are you doing here? You should go back to the hell hole you crawled out from now.”Turning to her husband with a very dark expression, she asked him. “Honey, what is this man doing here? You know we don't allow beggars into our house. Who let him in here?”“I let myself

    Maxwell got into his car and drove off as well.Just then, his phone began to ring and he answered the call without looking at the number.“Hello." “Max, where are you? I've been waiting for you at the company and they told me that you drove out." Maxwell quickly recognized the voice. It was Angel's voice and listening to it got him angrier.“What do you want, Angel? Have I not warned you not to call my number again. You are really very stubborn." Angel ignored his scolding and said further."Please, hurry up and come over here. I'm waiting for you close to the gate.”Maxwell ended the call and continued driving. Well, he was already going to the place before Angel's call came in.He'd have to find out what she wants when he gets there.It took him over thirty minutes to go get to Keystone builders and there was Angel, standing outside the gate.Her car was parked by the side and as soon she saw Maxwell, she opened the back seat and brought out a plastic bag.Angel gave the bag to

    Valerie's utterances got her friends gasping at her. Louis, the waiter, also stood aside and was watching the drama which was playing before him.From what he noticed, the duo knew each other before. He believed that they were married in the past but somehow, the marriage didn't go well.They had to end it and still remained enemies.“Hahaha. You've gotta be kidding me." Maxwell could not help but laugh at his ex-wife's foolishness.He believed that she was not using her brains. If she was, she wouldn't be standing before his face and confronting him.Maxwell remembered the last time something like that happened.It was the previous day after his court case with Victor Morgan was over. He turned out to be the winner and took over everything that belonged to him, leaving Valerie's parents with nothing.Valerie came to his home and confronted him. However, after she left, her husband came to give him a warning to stay away from his wife.It turns out that Valerie's husband, Maurice, w

    The manager was already afraid when he heard that his job would also be on the line.He had no idea who Maxwell was and what he was capable of doing.If he could give away a sum of twenty thousand dollars just to get a waiter fired, then he could pay more to have him dismissed.He could find the owner of the restaurant and make him terminate his job.The man was not ready to lose his job because of a mere waiter.“Hmph. That's more like it." Maxwell chuckled with a smug smile on his face.He went closer to the man and leaned on the table.Fixing his eyes on Mr. Parker, Maxwell muttered to his face. “I want him sacked. It's the guy who was standing outside with me earlier." "I'll do that, right away. Please, wait for me here.”"Of course.” Maxwell nodded as Mr. Parker left the office and went to call on the waiter who followed behind him.Because he knew what was going to happen to him, he kept a pleading expression.When they got to the office, Mr. Parker said to the waiter.“I'm sor
