"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
It was a wonder how the restaurant owner can designate an area on the reservoir for his restaurant operation. The whole area was decorated with colorful lights, as if stars were falling on the water, creating an elegant atmosphere.In twos and threes, the awning boats slowly paddled along this area, as the dish delivery boats shuttle through them, looking busy and peaceful at the same time.Sonnet and Maxwell took their three children onto the boat, and the children were attracted by the fishing tools on the boat.The boatman said with a smile, "Guests can use the fishing rods to tackle the fish, catch of the day will be sent to the shore for cooking.""We don't know how to fish. It might be midnight when we finally catch one." Sonnet smiled sheepishly."No, all the guests who come here are able to do so. If you don't believe me, let the children try it." The boatman replied.Jaybie was eager to try, so Sonnet let him.Lune helped put the bait on the side, set the hook and so on
Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Maxwell. "Maxwell, do you remember this name?"There was a flash of sharpness in Maxwell's eyes, and he nodded. "It seems that the person who hit you with the car before was called Jake Wilcroft?"‘Or rather, it was Jake Wilcroft who hit us.’ This name left a deep impression on Maxwell."Could it be..." Sonnet had a bad premonition in her heart.Maxwell clenched his fist, but a goofy smile appeared on his face. "So many people named Jake."If it was before, he would not care.But after knowing that Jake was ordered by someone to hit him on purpose, his death was out of the ordinary.Sonnet said sadly, "I hope it's not that Jake."Although Jake was drunk driving and she had to deal with him because of the traffic accident, it still felt a little weird that he died like this after all."What a coincidence." Maxwell said, putting his arms around Sonnet's shoulders, "I'm not full yet, find another place to eat!"They got in the car back to
