“Max, this is Andrew. I brought him here because of you.” Wyatt announced and got the men gaping at him.Max stared at him for a while before shooting a glance at the man he came with.“Andrew, this is Maxwell, my friend. And that's his lawyer." Wyatt went ahead and introduced Maxwell as well by pointing to his direction.Andrew stretched out his hands and shook them with Maxwell and Pablo who returned the handshake as well.“Andrew, please excuse us." Wyatt said to the young man who left immediately and went to wait in the car.As soon as he was out of the place, Maxwell gave his friend a confusing look and Wyatt didn't need to be told to start talking.Wyatt cleared his throat and curled his lips into a smile.He shot a glance at Pablo and then returned his gaze back to Maxwell before explaining himself.“Uh, Max. I employed him for you as your new driver. I think you deserve to have one rather than driving yourself." “Someone of your status shouldn't be doing such things for thems

Maurice believed that the baby in Valerie's womb was his. He had no reason to doubt the paternity of the child.Valerie looked deeply at him and pulled away his arms before snorting. “I made you the happiest man, yet you still suspect me. You feel insecure and follow me around like I'm a child." “It won't happen again." Maurice declared. He had to admit that he had followed Valerie a few times. And on those occasions, he'd seen Maxwell around and that alone made him angry.He had always wanted to go and punch Maxwell but would restrain himself from doing so.He was just trying to avoid any form of trouble.“I'm not going close to him. It's just a coincidence that we bumped into each other this last time." Valerie added and started towards the stairs with Maurice following behind."It's fine, Honey. Can we not talk about your ex-husband anymore? We have a baby on the way, let's talk about her.”"How can you be so sure that it's a girl?" Valerie replied to her husband while stopping in

The man approached them and was soon standing before Valerie and Anaya.Anaya pointed at a seat for the man and went ahead to do an introduction.It was her who suggested the lawyer to Valerie.“Mr. Arnold, this is my friend, Valerie Carter. Although you guys have already spoken on the phone, I still have to introduce you two.”"She's in need of a good lawyer to legally battle with her ex-husband. You see, the man has refused to give her her own share of his assets after their divorce.”Turning to Valerie, Anaya continued. “This is Mr. Arnold, the lawyer I told you about. And don't worry about losing the case because he's never lost any in the past.”"He's very good at what he does and I believe that he'd help you with this case. Maxwell's lawyer will have nothing on him.”Valerie pursed her lips and nodded at the man before shaking hands with him. "It's nice to meet you, Sir." “The pleasure is mine. And I look forward to working with you and achieving victory. Mrs Carter.” Mr. Arnol

“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 was knocked out with a sedative so he won't struggle while being conveyed to the location he was needed.While he was abducted outside the Morgans’ residence, Victor and Patricia who had been inside their car around the place witnessed the incident and were happy.They thought that Maxwell had finally met his match. Maybe an unforgiving enemy who he must have crossed has decided to get back to him. With their faces beaming with smiles, they drove out of the place while Patricia placed a call across to Valerie to deliver the news.Meanwhile, Maxwell was brought to a house with nice furnishings and was left to sleep on the Sofa. When he fell awake, his eyes met with a strange looking man staring down at him.Swiftly, Maxwell jumped to his feet and stood a little distant away from the man. “Who are you and what do you want from me? Why have you brought me here?”Maxwell was anxious as he glanced around the place. It was a beautiful house which was not so big. He decided to check

“Is this some kind of trick? What is she doing here at your house?”Angel stood before him with a warm smile on her face. “I called him and gave him the information that he needed. That was why the men were able to find you easily and at the right place and time.”Maxwell began to fume. He could not believe that Pablo was working with Angel. Why were they working together?He doesn't want to have anything to do with Angel no matter what she did for him. He was just grateful but didn't want to associate himself to Angel.What was she thinking? That he'd just spread his hands open and hug her because she helped him retrieve some documents. That will never happen.Turning to Pablo, he asked furiously. “What is she doing here? Please, make her leave or I'll be the one to leave.”Pablo shook his head disapprovingly. “You have to calm down. Angel is only trying to help. I know everything that happened in the past and I'm not happy about it as well.”“No, I'm not going to calm down. This wom

Maurice gasped and so did Valerie.Even though he and Valerie were a couple, that was the last news he was expecting at that time.He loves his wife so much and didn't care if the baby was taking time to come.They had been married for more than a year and his parents had been looking forward to carrying their grandchild. However, Maurice was not in a hurry and didn't want to put Valerie under any pressure.“She's pregnant." Maurice turned to Valerie with a bright smile on his face and declared happily. “We're going to be parents soon." Valerie was happy as well and smiled back at her husband before turning to the doctor.“Doctor, are you sure about it?" "I'm very sure that you're pregnant.” The doctor nodded at her with a smile on her face.She stepped forward and handed the result to Valerie. "Here you go. And make sure that you don't subject yourself to any form of stress.”"Always eat healthy and stay away from alcohol. You're free to go home after resting enough.”As the doctor

Valerie let out a deep sigh before replying to her father. “I bumped into him again and confronted him." “Ok, so what's going to happen next? Are you going to keep confronting him or just go ahead and sue him." Victor was enabling his daughter even though he knew that she was fighting a lost battle.They were just holding onto hope that something might come out of it.After all, Valerie and Maxwell were once married. “I'll meet with a lawyer tomorrow to discuss the case and its viability." Valerie replied to her father.He sighed deeply before replying to her. "I'll try and speak with an old friend of mine who's a lawyer. We'll see if he'd be able to help.”Victor had many contacts when he was still very wealthy, or rather, when he was flaunting a stolen wealth. However, they all stayed away from him after the scandal with Maxwell.No one wants to have anything to do with him anymore.Victor would just try and see if his lawyer friend would help him out in Valerie's case.“It's fin

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.They had to keep quiet and look away when a huge amount of money was handed over to them.The prison was just another world of its where criminals were working for criminals who had been sent to serve jail terms.These criminals were sent to correctional centers to become better people and stop crime.Unfortunately, they never change and some seem to get even worse in prison. When they're finally released, they continue their crimes and become even worse at it.Angel turned back to the boys and replied to them. “I'm sorry guys, I don't run errands anymore. And please, don't call me again for such deals.”"I'm not interested anymore, no matter the amount that's involved.”After say

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
