Chapter 57
As their eyes met, Gratel swallowed hard and turned her face away. She decided not to speak further.Gratel felt Maxwell's gaze on her and when she turned to look at him, she saw him sizing her up.Maxwell's gaze was cold as he stood aloof, glaring at the young lady who was obviously uncomfortable from his gaze.After a long pause, he muttered in a deep hoarse voice. “Uh, I guess I misjudged you. I should have listened to you when you came to make the report.”"Well, Angel is safe now and that's all that matters.” Maxwell gave her one last look before turning to Angel."Come on, let's get you to the hospital for a check up.” He muttered and got back into the car.“Come with me, please." Angel said to her friend, giving her a pleading look. Gratel wanted to refuse her but had no other choice as Angel continued to probe her.“Ok, fine." Gratel rolled her eyes before adding. “I'll follow you but you must give me every detail of all that happened." “Of course, that's not a problem. I was
Chapter 56
His reaction at that moment meant that he was feeling Angel's pain.After a while, he lifted his head and locked eyes with her before muttering. “Tell me the bastards who did this to you. What really happened?" Maxwell believed that they were two or more people because one person won't be able to pull off such a kidnap.Maybe one person could do it. It depends on how capable the person was.“Tell me who did this to you." He repeated himself and Angel feigned a sad sigh.She shook her head a few times before replying. “I don't know any of them. They were all putting on masks and there was no way I could see their faces with my eyes tied." Angel lied. She was not finding it funny and at that moment, all she was feeling was sadness.She was also feeling guilty about what she did.Maxwell truly cared about her and there was no need pulling off that stunt.He was just waiting for the right time to loosen up and be free with her. They could even start as friends and proceed to elevate the

For a moment, Maxwell was completely dumbfounded when he heard Angel's voice.He hadn't heard it in days and felt bad for neglecting and ignoring her.“Are you ok? Hope you haven't been harmed by that son of a bitch.” Maxwell found his voice and inquired while cursing Hector.“I'm ok, for now. Although, I don't know how long I'll be fine.” Angel muttered in a very low voice. She had sensed the worry in Maxwell's voice and almost laughed but had to pull herself together.All she did was just smile while pretending to be in distress.“Just hang in there. I'm going to do something about it and you'll be safe soon." “Tell me, have you eaten anything?" Maxwell was still speaking when he heard a voice that was not Angel's.“Do you want to come over here and feed him, lover boy.” Hector teased him but Maxwell was not taking it funny."Hey, you son of a bitch. I'm going to find you and put you in your place if any harm comes to her.”"I'm giving you one hour to get my money ready, else I won

“Thank you so much, Officer. I'll be on my way now. However, don't hesitate to let me know of any developments. And please, don't keep anything from me." Maxwell added, glanced at all the men at the place before leaving.He got into his car and instructed Andrew, his driver. "Just drive and follow my directions.”"Yes, Sir.”He was going to the Morgans' home to confront them. Maxwell had a feeling that they're behind the kidnapping attempt on him.They were midway to the Morgans' Villa when his phone began to ring. It was a strange number and he hesitated before answering the call."Hello, this is Maxwell Hunt speaking. Who's on the line?”The caller was silent for a while, getting Maxwell impatient and angry as well.“If you're not going to say anything then I'll have to hang up the call now.” Maxwell was about to end the call when the caller finally spoke up.“Maxwell Hunt. I'm sure it'll interest you to know that I have your friend here with me.”"What friend are you talking about
Chapter 53
Maxwell learned that Gratel had made a report that morning about Angel who she believed was missing.“A young lady came here earlier before you and have made a report. She also claimed to be a friend to the missing lady." The policeman had said to him and he quickly deduced that it must be Gratel.After making the report, the police promised him that they'd work on the case.Maxwell and his driver left afterwards and were on their way to the horse riding facility where Wyatt had been waiting for him.Wyatt loves riding horses and has an intention of introducing the culture to Maxwell.Since he was the only friend that Maxwell has, he intends to influence him.Maxwell has lived all his life in penury even when living with his wealthy inlaws.He had to work like a servant and was not exposed to certain luxury.Before his marriage with Valerie, Maxwell stayed with the other servants. And even after he got married to Valerie, he wasn't allowed to stay in the same room with her.The couple

“Listen to her and leave." A voice interrupted them. It was Patricia who came back after giving the couple some time to talk.When she saw that Valerie was stressed by Maurice's presence, she decided to interfere.Patricia walked into the ward and stood before Maurice. “How could you disappoint me like this? I entrusted my daughter to you and you sent her to the hospital with your fists.”“You're a total disappointment and I regret getting her married to you.”Just then, Victor came back with all the things he bought. He was happy to see that Valerie was already awake and went to speak with his daughter, ignoring Maurice and his wife."Just leave here at once and be rest assured that this marriage is over." Patricia added and Maurice had no other choice but to leave.After Maurice left, he found himself in a bar, drinking himself to stupor.***A few days later, Valerie was finally discharged from the hospital and had been taken home by her family. They have even sent a divorce letter
Chapter 51
Victor gave them a thorough scrutiny before replying to them. “She's not yet awake but you can wait if you want. The doctor informed us that she'll soon wake up." "Alright, Sir.”They nodded their heads and were about to leave but Victor Morgan called them back. He thought of something and decided to ask them a few questions."Girls, wait. I need to ask you a question.” Pausing in their tracks, Anaya and Silver nervously turned to the man. Somehow, they were feeling guilty for exploiting Valerie.“Uh, what do you want to ask us, Sir?" Victor scrutinized them again before asking his question."Tell me, who's the one that introduced that incompetent lawyer to my daughter? I'm sure that it's certainly one of you. Or maybe you both did.”Anaya and Silver exchanged glances before Anaya replied to him. “I was only trying to help my friend. Because he has helped my family in the past, I believe that he's good at what he does." “That's the reason I introduced him to Valerie." “Are you s
Chapter 50
Just then, the door of the emergency room opened and the doctor came out.Victor and Patricia Morgan quickly ran to meet with her while Maurice and his family followed behind.“Doctor, how's my daughter doing?" Patricia was the first to ask the question while the others listened to the doctor.“She's out of danger now but there's a problem." The doctor replied with a sad expression.Her words got them more anxious before Maurice snapped impatiently at her. "Just tell me what happened to my wife. What is the problem you're talking about?”Maurice's action got the Morgans to turn to him, a cold glare one their faces.They were looking at Maurice like someone who had committed a crime by calling Valerie his wife. They were not happy with him for hitting their daughter.And Patricia has made it clear to him and his parents. If anything happens to Valerie, they'd be sworn enemies.Even though they don't have money anymore, Patricia would do all it takes to get justice for her daughter and
Chapter 49
Maurice, who was now sober, joined them in the Van. While they administered first aid to Valerie, the Van drove off immediately.Michael and Gina Carter followed behind with their car.While in the car, Gina put a call across to Victor Morgan.The Morgans and the Carters were in-laws but not really close. Although they used to be close when the Morgans were still flaunting Maxwell's wealth.However, after the Morgans' true identity were revealed, the Carters distanced themselves. The only relationship that they have was that they were in-laws.They no longer dined together like before or attended events together.In fact, the Carters were ashamed to call them their inlaws. If not that Maurice loves Valerie so much, they'd have asked him to divorce her.However, Maurice was a man of his words and would not be told what to do by his parents.The phone went through and Victor answered almost immediately.“Hello, Mrs Carter. I hope all is well because you rarely call me since my last cour
