“He stole that money! That money is mine!” Mr. Wayles yelled in the precinct. “Believe me when I say he stole that money from me!” Mr. Wayles added seriously.

Neglecting a proper investigation, it was obvious that Maximus was a thief. His class didn’t meet up with his family and he was looking like a poor rag who would do anything to level up.

“Officer, believe me, I didn’t steal their money.” He began, ignoring the deadly glares from his family members.

“I was chased out of the family house with nothing, not even a clothes or a penny! I don’t have access to their card or password to their phone, how can I transfer money?” He asked staring at their faces but the officers dint look interested in his explanation.

“This money is mine whether you believe it or not.” He said with certainty.

“You stole my husband’s money yet you still have the guts to speak!” Mrs. Wayles gave him a dirty slap and one of the officers stepped in.

“Mrs. Wayes, I understand that you are annoyed but since he is with the officers, I would advise you refrain from assaulting him.” The officer warned her politely.

“She wouldn't have slapped him if he wasn't acting like a big thief!” Kaiden scoffed.

“If a poor man has money, he turns out to be a thief but if a rich man makes money, no one dares to question him.” He looked at them. “Is this how miserable the world is or you all are pinned on getting rid of me?” He questioned in annoyance and they rolled their eyes sarcastically.

“Mr. Maximus, we are trying to believe you but it’s impossible.” The detective walked in with a notepad in his hands. He greeted the Wayles before turning to him.

“You graduated from university two years ago and since then, you have no job. The last job you had was disapproved, rather loan apps and creditors are on your neck.” The detective paused. “And suddenly, the sum of five million dollars surfaced in your account. How did this happen for one who is jobless and has no family?” The detective curled his lips, asking anxiously.

“I… I… The thing is…” He stuttered, unable to defend himself.

“I told you.” Mr. Wayles laughed a belly laugh. “He has zero and is nothing but a thief! He stole my money because I abandoned him and pushed him out of the house!” Mr. Wayles concluded vividly.

“I see more reason why he should be imprisoned and rot in jail!” Mrs. Wayles added more petrol to the burning fire.

“Please believe me, this money is mine!” He cried out.

“I went through hell to make this money.” He informed them dolefully.

He would have saved himself but who would believe him if he said some strange system gave him a task and when it was accomplished, he was given five million dollars.

At the thought of this, he shook his head.

Getting money was one thing but explaining how you made the money was another. His life was created to be miserable forever.

“I know him as a very poor man, I think you should believe his family that he stole it because he can never afford anything since we have been dating. He is nothing but a poor brat.” Anastasia strolled into the precicnt.

It seemed she had been bribed to come and make a mess of him because there was a BMW car key in her hand which she flaunted. Anastasia would never buy such a car because she had nothing. It's either it was attained through bribery or prostitution.

“What? Ana! We have no business together so don’t try to mess up with me!” He shunned her.

“Mr. Maximus, if you don’t provide evidence on how you made this money or who sent this to you, then you might end up in jail.” The detective’s voice came up again. The detective has been quiet, observing the situation.

Maximus knew he was at a loss, everyone surrounding him was his family’s people, they have been bribed that even his begging and explanations wouldn’t save him.

[System Protection: Ask for Account Statement] The robotic voice finally surfaced.

Maximus thought it had disappeared since he had fallen into a mess but it seemed it was still in him, on his side.

“Bank statement?” He thought inwardly as his brows furrowed. “Who would believe the sender to be some TYS? That company doesn’t exist.” He shook his head, others were wondering why he was making some strange body movement.

It ended in laughter as they thought he was doomed and couldn’t save himself.

“I… I want to see my account statement.” He said.

“Account statement?” Mr. Wayles laughed. “For what?” Mr. Wayles raised a brow.

“You want evidence, right?” He questioned and almost everyone nodded impatiently.

“Then, call the bank manager to come here with my account statement.” He said vividly, sounding authoritative. His voice was filled with command which irked Kaiden.

“Fine! I will call him and make sure you church rat never have a voice again!” Kaiden scoffed.

The tension was in the air, by this time, Anastasia had gone because of an emergency as she quoted.

Soon, the manager of RICH STATE Bank stepped into the precinct and everyone exhaled in relief.

It was time to know the truth.

“Are you with the account statement of this bastard?” Mr. Wayles fired at him as soon as he came closer to them.

“Sir…” The manager stopped talking as his eyes landed on Maximus, they quivered. The manager had a feeling of guilt.

“What is it? Show it to me.” The detective urged him.

“Sorry sir, it seems we are mistaken, your son is a multi-billionaire and an investor in the trending YC company.” The manager spilled and everyone gasped in disbelief.

“What? What are you saying?” Mr. Wayles' eyes were filled with anxiety.

He had tried to join the YC company more than a hundred times but all his investment was rejected.

How did his useless abandoned son gain access to invest with them?

    Sara got to the house and told Max what Kaiden had told her. Max raised his eyebrows, he was wondering how she handled the situation. “ What did you say to him?" He asked.“ I told him that it was not going to be possible, I have moved on from that and we shall remain workers only," she said.Max nodded his head and hoped that she was telling the truth because he would be so upset with her if he found out that she had gone back to Kaiden. He got into the sitting room, he looked around. “ She must be in her room," Sara said, smiling at him. “ Don't do that to me, how the hell did you know that I was looking for Silvia?” he asked."I do know, you do not bother yourself with anyone or anything in this house, so I know who you are looking for when you do that,” she said. Max went to his room, took his bath, got out of the bathroom, and carefully creamed his body, he took his time to do that.

    Nina kept thinking about who the second person was. She sat in her room, the only person that she ever told about what she wanted was just Kaiden and Richard. She stood up and went to Kaiden's room. She knocked on the door, he opened the door and saw her standing in front of them. “ Can you not sleep?" He asked her. “ No, not that, something is going on and I do not know who is behind this. I took Richard's advice and asked Myles to help me, but he went ahead and told Max about it and now he is trying to get me sacked” She looked sad. Kaiden opened the door wider so that she could get inside the room. " Why would Myles do that to you?” he asked. " Myles has so much loyalty for Max and that was what I had missed, but one thing that bothered me was he said two people already told him about me taking over the company. He said one of them is Myles and then the second person is who I am trying to know” she said. Kaiden was quiet for a while. “ Maybe it is Richard who told him abou

She waved her hands to dismiss him. He left. She stood up and arranged her dress. She checked and everything was perfect, then she went to Max's office. She got there and saw Myles also. All that was on her mind at that time was that Myles had done something and that was why she was called into the office, maybe Max had noticed something was wrong. “ You sent for me, Sir," She said as she smiled at Myles. Myles pretended like she was not there. “ I heard something, and I wish to confirm that from you, this will be the second time I will be hearing it and t

    Martha could not believe that her husband was on the news for the wrong reasons, he was arrested and it was shown in the news for everyone to see. She was so bitter that her husband was given a public humiliation, she quickly picked up her phone and called Kaiden.“Hey, have you seen the news? Your father is in the news, it is aired on the television, guess what is being aired? His arrest, your father has been reduced to nothing” She said. " Mom, calm down, let me check that out and call you back,” He said. " Call me back? I am coming there to meet you, we have to go do something about this” She ended the call even before Kaiden could ask her not to bother coming over to his house.
