28:Fleeing
"What are you talking about?" Dan froze for a moment before finally coming back to his senses and staring fiercely at Max."What do you think I'm saying huh?" Max's mouth curled up into a mocking smile upon hearing what the latter said."Max, stop acting all mysterious, what the heck are you talking about?" Dan yelled, not wanting to give in to Max's aura."You should be asking yourself that." Max shrugged."Niece, you've seen what I'm talking about. Is this whom you are trying to give up a blissful future for?" Dan mocked, turning to Fiona while pointing at Max."As long as you marry the Young Master, then I can assure you that no one in the city would dare to look down on you.""If the young master can make the entire city respect her. Then I can make the entire World Bow to her." Max said, his expression turning serious."Hehehehe!" Dan burst out into laughter."You're quite funny, you know." He managed to say amidst his laughter before turning back to Fiona."Agree to my request.
27 Guilt Trip
(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
26: David's Thoughts
"How dare you insult the Norwood family," The young man, Noah, flew into a rage, pointing at Max, veins bludging out of his head."If you're not a bunch of clowns, then what are you?" Max taunted, and a wide smile appeared on his face.He really didn't care about the minor character before him. Besides, why should he care? The other party didn't look tough, nor was he someone worthy of his respect, so why was there the need to worry?"Young man, you'd better kneel and kowtow to me, I might be willing to let you off, else it won't be good for you," Noah snorted coldly, wanting to intimidate Max.But his actions toward Max were just like a kid trying to fight an adult. He didn't care about the latter at all."Max, let's just go home," Fiona pleaded, tugging Max's sleeve.Max might not have heard of the Norwood family, but he had heard of them.They were a family that had risen to power directly under the Influence of a particular first-tier family. Though she knew not which family it wa
25:Fiona's Rival
"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
24: Dinner Interrupted
"Max, don't you think this place is a little bit too high-end?" Fiona looked around, staring at the restaurant."You worry too much." Max rolled his eyes at Fiona and pulled her into the restaurant.If it was not for the fact that he didn't want her to suspect him, he would have taken her to a more expensive place."I didn't bring my bag along, and also, you don't have enough money..." Fiona hesitated as she looked at Max."Don't worry, I still have a little bit of money I can spend." Max smiled and forced Fiona onto a seat."Fine." Having no other choice, Fiona sighed and sat on the chair."So what would you like to eat?" Max smiled, staring at his wife."Anything." Fiona thought for a while and replied.She didn't know how much Max had, and thus, she didn't want to order and put him in a tough spot. If she had brought her phone, she might have thought against it, but at the moment, she could only try not to order anything."Waiter." Max gestured to the waiter who soon came over."Gi
23:Vacation
"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
