"Gosh! What's this?" Knoxville asked Henry, his voice laced with incredulity as he gazed at the unusual location.

"That's where he chose, Sir. And Maxwell refused to go," Henry explained, his expression neutral. "So your dad insisted you take his place."

I couldn't help but clench my fist together, frustration simmering beneath my surface.

"What type of human would choose such an important meeting to happen at the Zoo?" Knoxville asked, shaking his head.

"He's a client, an investor, for that matter," Henry replied, his tone measured. "We should respect his decision, Sir."

Knoxville's eyes narrowed. "Respect? This is unorthodox, Henry. What's the logic behind meeting at the reptile house?"

Henry's expression remained composed. "Mr. Jenkins has a fascination with exotic animals, Sir. He believes the unconventional setting will foster creative thinking."

Are you sure she's her niece, like you claimed?"Henry's expression turned cautious. "That's the information I found. Did you suspect something was off?"Knoxville's brow furrowed. "Why did I feel a connection with the girl? And she said 'we will lose her'... It sounded like more than just concern for a niece."Henry's eyes narrowed. "I'll investigate further.""Did you think I should ask her?" Knoxville wondered aloud, his brow furrowed in contemplation. "Why did I have the feeling she has a daughter for me?"Henry's expression turned thoughtful. "The little girl has the same eyes as you, even though she looks like Electra.

Could he face her again?Henry's voice cut through his thoughts. "You've been running from this for too long. It's time to face the consequences of your actions."Knoxville's jaw clenched. He knew Henry was right. The weight of his secrets was crushing him."Okay," Knoxville said finally, his voice firm. "

    Maxwell POV I stormed out of his office, my anger boiling over like a cauldron about to spill its contents. The hallway seemed to blur around me as I strode through it, my feet pounding the floor in a rhythmic expression of my fury. I burst into my office, slamming the door shut behind me, and made a beeline for my desk.With a snarl, I slammed my fist onto the polished wood, making the pens and papers jump. I yanked open the top two buttons of my shirt, feeling the constriction of my collar easing as I struggled to contain my rage. "What the fuck!" I exploded, my voice echoing off the walls of my office.All my efforts, all my planning, all my convincing of the shareholders – it had all been for nothing.

Maybe, just maybe, there was more to the story than I had initially thought.I thought back to the fact that my dad had been visiting my mother's grave twice a year. If he had truly wanted to betray her, would he have been so diligent in paying his respects? It didn't add up, and I found myself wondering if I had misjudged him all along.As I began to search the house, I could
