‘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
In the room, Maxwell solemnly bowed to Myles Turner: "Hello, Dad!"His voice was tense and his movements stiff, like a primary school student who was about to take an exam.Sonnet could not help but laugh at Maxwell’s demeanor.‘My silly bean knows that he ought to be nervous meeting his father-in-law? He knows everything!’Myles also smiled. "Don't need to be cautious, we are all family."Only then did Maxwell's expression relax a little.He had never been so nervous before when he was faced with major business negotiations, but he was so nervous meeting his father-in-law today!"Didn't you bring a gift for Dad, why are you still holding back?" Sonnet reminded him from the side.It was not that she was greedy for Maxwell's gift, but she was so curious. She kept asking what it was along the way, but Maxwell never told her.Only then did Maxwell remember that he was still carrying the gift, so he hurried forward and opened the gift in front of Myles.After opening it was an an
Myles quickly changed the subject, grabbed a handful of white chess pieces, and looked at Maxwell. "The white chess pieces are made of white jade, right?""I don't know either." Maxwell continued to maintain his silly persona.Sonnet grabbed a handful of black chess pieces and asked Maxwell, "Are the black pieces made of obsidian?"Before Maxwell could speak, Myles interrupted. "It's not obsidian, it's black jade, it's very precious!"Sonnet was surprised again. "Dad, how do you know?"Myles smiled shyly. "This is the benefit of reading a lot. After your old Dad became paralyzed, although I couldn't work, I’m able to read a lot."Sonnet stopped talking.For some reason, her father seemed like a wise sage."Maxwell, thank you, I like the gift you gave me very much, but this gift is too expensive, you should take it back." Myles said to Maxwell.Maxwell waved his hands again and again. "No, no! When I was young, my father said that you can't take back things you give away.""Th
After Sonnet told the children that they could not live in the Brooks household for the time being, the children understood.For them, as long as they can call Sonnet "Mom" in front of Uncle Maxwell, it doesn't matter whether they sleep together or not. After all, the two families were so near anyway.Ever since meeting his father-in-law, Maxwell would come to the Harrison Estate once a day, either to chat and play chess with the old man, or to play with Jaybie and Lune. His relationship with them was better than before.Everything seemed wonderful. The family was harmonious, their laughter was happy, the years were peaceful...The weather gradually got colder. It was the weekend. Sonnet was looking after Shay in the Lux Club when she suddenly received a call from Maxwell. "Wifey, we'll pick you up after work.""Hey, why are you picking me up?""Jaybie wants to eat fish, I'll take you all to eat fish."Shay seemed to have heard Maxwell's voice on the phone and shouted. "Fish, Sh
