"Dad, where's mum?" Rose soon came running out of the room, yawning as she hugged Max."Your mum has gone to work," Max smiled, picking up the little girl, looking over his shoulders as Amelia also walked out of the room..The two were heavy sleepers and were just waking up which kind of assumed Max. Well, it was not their fault. After coming back the day before, he took them out and they returned quite late..Max wasn't really expecting Fiona to wake up early, but she did."You'll be starting school soon, so be a good girl and listen to your teachers okay," Max said, putting Rose down, a smile on his face."But...." The little girl pouted, obviously, she didn't want to go to school. But did she have any choice?"Come one, I'll cook something nice for you," Max pulled the little girl's cheek and took out his phone calling Tiger to send over some grocery materials.Though Fiona did prepare some food, he wasn't going to let them eat that. Besides, it wouldn't be enough for them, so he w

"And here's the husband standing up for his wife." Ethan scoffed, turning around and seeing it was Max."Well, I don't care if you're standing up for her or not. All I know is that you should get the mess fixed, I don't care how you want to do it." Ethan continued."All I know is that you should clean up the mess your wife caused; else, in the next three days, she'll be getting married to Young Master Larry."Max narrowed his brows as he looked at Ethan, he couldn't help but snicker Inwardly, wondering if the problem she had created was not enough.And now, she was threatening to marry off his wife. Well, he was not going to let that happen."You don't have to worry, she'll solve it in three days or less," Max replied, his voice sounding rather flat."Whatever," Ethan jeered, turned around, and stomped out of the office."Bang!"The loud bang of the door resounded throughout the office, Ethan banging the door as she stormed out."Max," Fiona called after a moment of silence, staring a

"Sorry about that." Max apologized to Fiona immediately after they stepped out of the hotel."It's fine." Fiona shook her head.At that moment, all she wanted was just to go back home. However, a part of her felt good when Max grabbed the man's head and bashed it on the table.At the same time, she was scared. After all, the other party was from the Anderson family.Max might not know, but she knew how powerful the Anderson family were and she wasn't willing to take chances on the issue."Let's go home." Fiona sighed and shook her head."How about we go shopping instead?" Max shook his head and dragged Fiona down the road.He could tell from her expression that she was worried about the so-called Anderson Family, but he didn't care about such a family. He was going to ask Tiger to find out who the Anderson family were.If they were going to disturb his peace, he didn't mind wiping them out and thus, he just couldn't care less about their existence, even though Fiona was greatly distur

(A Few Hours Later)"Fiona, tell me what you used the money for?" An arrogant male voice came from within, making Max, who was about to push open the door, stop on his track."I might be willing to beg my mother to pardon you if you speak up, otherwise, don't blame me." The voice continued.Dark lines appeared on Max's face hearing this. He could easily tell who it was. What the heck was Dan doing at his house?It seemed like he had to teach him a lesson. He was yet to learn his lessons. Also, he was sure that the idiot was involved in the fund's embezzlement; it was just that he was not sure how he was involved in it."Uncle, you should believe me, I didn't know how the money disappeared out of the company's account." Fiona's weak voice sounded, trying to defend herself.But it was evident that Dan was not going to believe her as his mocking voice came right afterward,"You want me to believe you didn't embezzle the fund?" He scoffed. Though Max couldn't see his expression, he could

l(The Next Day)"Master, we've arrived." Tiger spoke, making Max, who had his eyes closed, open them.Max nodded and alighted from the car, heading into the herb store that was right in front of them.Stepping into the store, the strong fragrance of the herbs assaulted their nose and Max couldn't help but scrunch his nose.The store was quite big, there were shelves here and there, all holding different kinds of herbs and emitting a strange fragrance.The store looked grand and the customers were allowed to go look at the herbs to decide which to buy before taking it to the counter."Grandfather, that's a Ginseng. I heard it's good for the body. We should get it for you, after, you're looking all frail and weak." A feminine voice sounded, making Max, who had been looking around for the Ginseng, turn in their direction."Not far from him was an old man in a Tang suit. Besides him was a young beautiful young lady. Behind them were two bulky men dressed in black suits, having a stern exp
