Marcus glanced at Maxwell.According to the initial script requested by Maxwell, he was supposed to ask for the reason in a pleasant manner before asking Maxwell to express his position. He was then to tell Sonnet that it doesn't matter as long as Maxwell agrees.However, since Maxwell provoked him before, he decided to take a little revenge!‘Hmph! Since you called me a bachelor, I'll scare your wife!’"Since finding out that the Brooks were unaware, why didn't you tell me right away?" His face was serious on purpose.Sonnet grasped Maxwell's hand tightly.Judging by Mr. Pine's serious expression, he seemed to disapprove!"According to the foundation's regulations, if Maxwell's wife has concealed and deceived him, our foundation has the right to help Maxwell break off the marriage with this woman. On top of that, according to the regulations, we will also ask this woman to return all the pocket money given earlier." Marcus replied coldly with a sullen face."Marcus Pine!" Maxw
Soft hands held Maxwell's face and turned his face around.Her delicate smile imprinted in his eyes; he instantly loosened his clenched fists."What's the matter, are you angry?" Sonnet asked.Maxwell nodded strongly.She must have seen that he could not hold back his anger, so he did not hide it from her.Sonnet rubbed his face, and said softly, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, Mr. Pine is actually doing it for you. He had been defending you for so many years, and this time he must act in the position to defend you.""But he wants Wifey and I to break off our marriage and not let us be together!""He just said that this is according to the regulations, he didn’t say it is certain. You heard it too. He wants to report to the foundation and then see my performance. We just wait. I believe that my performance will be approved by the foundation!"Sonnet sounded confident when she said this, but in fact it was all to comfort Maxwell, and she didn't have any confidence in her heart.‘T
"So, you really plan to report her matter to the Foundation?" Maxwell asked coldly."Of course not!" Marcus replied decisively, "I'm your brother, how can I do that to you? If the Brooks knows about her, it will only bring you harm but no benefit—""Then you told her that you’ll report it to the Foundation?!""I'm mad at you!" Marcus cleared his throat.He had always been a rational person, never acting emotionally. Today was a rare occasion where he took revenge on Maxwell under false pretenses."If it wasn’t you deliberately angered me, calling me a bachelor, and looked down on me for not being able to find a woman!" Speaking of this, he felt aggrieved.‘I gave half my life to Maxwell, and now he actually said that about me!’It was like an old mother who has worked hard and finally looked down upon by an unfilial son.Mentioning this, Maxwell smiled apologetically. "You also said that you are my brother, are you going to take offense with me, your little brother? I sincerely
‘However, doesn't Second Young Master Brooks have a wife?‘So the wife is a beard, but his true love is Mr. Pine?‘Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! What shocking news!’——After leaving Blanc Law Firm, Maxwell did not go home, but went to the Paragon Education Group headquarters.There was a regular monthly meeting, and today was exactly that day.The office building of Paragon Education Group is located in the new Harbor City Education District, where there are universities, high schools, and the headquarters of many educational institutions.When he arrived at the office, Alex Greene and Zachary Strombold were already waiting there.Alex is Maxwell's assistant and driver, who often helped him handle matters that need to be present. While Zachary is the Vice President of Paragon Education Group, who manages the group's affairs on weekdays.Every routine meeting was chaired by Zachary, so that the people below think that Zachary is the boss of Paragon Education Group.After Ma
At six thirty in the evening, Maxwell's Rolls Royce rolled into a winery.The interior of the winery was magnificent, the wine racks in the lobby looked like the bookshelves of a library, grand and majestic.There were rumors among the Harbor City upper class, the one person who loved wine like life itself, must be Mr. Hendric.Mr. Hendrix, or rather, Gordon Hendric, was the head of the Hendric family among the four major families in Harbor City. This winery was a great proof of Gordon's lifelong love for wine.This winery called The Elysium has countless wine collections, including local and foreign wines, and only accepts guests invited by the Hendric family.When Maxwell got out of the car, the servants in the winery came up to greet him familiarly and led him to the private room on the first floor.The private rooms were covered with expensive white plush carpets, decked with all kinds of extravagant luxury decor.When Maxwell walked in, there were already three people sitti
"This means that the truck driver was ordered to hit Maxwell?" Hayden interjected.Logan nodded. "The facts are obvious.""Who instigated it?" Howard asked."Who else? The people who wanted Maxwell dead are the people from the Brooks family!" Hayden said angrily.After he finished speaking, he looked at Maxwell. Maxwell's eyes were cold, and he didn't speak.Howard shook his head. "No, according to Sir Brook’s will, if Maxwell dies, the company shares that have not been released will be donated to charity. Those people will definitely not want Maxwell dead before getting the money. "Sir Brooks was Maxwell's grandfather.In order to protect Maxwell's life, Sir Brooks made a will before his death, and released his shares in the company to his sons in installments. The stages of the installments were all related to Maxwell's important life events.For example, when Maxwell gets married, a part will be released, and when Maxwell's child is born, a part will be released. One of the
When Maxwell returned to the Brooks household, Sonnet had not come back yet.He called Mrs. Wilson into the room and told her his plan.He had already bought Mrs. Wilson a big house in the countryside and planned to let Mrs. Wilson lived there for a while. Once he caught the perpetrator here, only then he planned to bring her back.Mrs. Wilson was worry-stricken. "Master, I'd better stay here. In case those people want to do something to you, I can still protect you."Maxwell laughed. "Mrs. Wilson, you are so small, how can you protect me? It's good enough if you don’t drag me down when you stay."Mrs. Wilson stopped talking and looked at him in silence for a while. "Young master, you are right, you don't need me now, it's better for me not to get in your way.""That's not what I meant." Maxwell quickly explained, but Mrs. Wilson interrupted him with a wave."I don't mean to blame you. I understand, young master. You wanted to protect me too. How about this? I won't live in the
Time for the son-in-law to meet his father-in-law!Unexpectedly, Maxwell broke free from her hand. "Wifey, wait for me." After that, he ran upstairs. “Tap tap tap!”After a while, he came down and changed into a sports jacket with a big box in his hand.Sonnet looked him up and down and could not help but click her tongue.‘I have to say, my husband looks smashing in a suit. This jacket fit him like a proper and chic nobleman.’"What's in your box?" Sonnet looked at his hand curiously."I won't tell you!" Maxwell blinked mischievously, took Sonnet's hand with his big hand, and walked out.Along the way, Sonnet kept trying to see what was in his box, but he refused to show it to her, and said plausibly. "I’m giving it to Dad!"Sonnet couldn't help but laugh. "Dad? How smooth."‘This silly bean, not a fool at all in times where he needs to be smart! If I did not know what was going on with him, I would really suspect that he was just pretending to be stupid.’The two children
