Without a word, Maxwell started towards the door and to the gate where the woman was making a scene. It was on his way to the gate that he realized the glass in his hand.
Maxwell prayed earnestly that the lady shouldn't be Angel. He didn't want to be forced to call the police on her. Angel had done a good deed for him and he didn't want them to have any more problems.
Although he had promised to make her pay for what she did to him. However, he changed his mind when she helped him retrieve the documents he used in reclaiming his legacy.
Maxwell was not going to do anything to her again. All he wanted was for the lady to stay away from him.
He soon got closer to the gate and saw Valerie already inside. She had managed to force her way in. Stopping in his tracks, Maxwell glanced at the lady before him as the memory of their past together flashed before his face.
“What are you doing here, Valerie?” He asked the lady before him as he gaped at her.
Valerie was the only woman he ever loved and losing her was so heartbreaking. It was also more heartbreaking when he was sent to prison afterwards.
Turning around to stare at the men at his side, he saw the confusing looks on their faces. They were completely in the dark and didn't understand what was going on.
Pablo knew who Valerie was but never knew she was once married to Maxwell.
“Hmph.” Valerie snorted coldly and stared at Maxwell with a sneer on her face.
“Well, I can see that you're not a worthless pauper afterall. You're a rich young man who has succeeded in taking everything from my parents. I can also see from the glass that you're celebrating your victory in court today.”
“It was your parents who took everything from me. And yes, I'm celebrating my victory in court today.” Maxwell quickly retorted with his gaze still fixed on Valerie and eyes burning with hatred for her.
She's changed so much from the sweet girl he once loved to a bitter person. Her parents had really influenced her a lot.
Like him, Valerie didn't know anything about Maxwell's identity. She only learned that they were not siblings which was why they fell for each other and went ahead to get married.
“What do you want, Valerie Morgan?” Maxwell didn't know her husband's family name and didn't care.
“I came to take my own share of the properties. We were married, so naturally, I have a share from all your assets since we're already divorced.” Valerie said seriously and Maxwell began to laugh.
He lifted the glass in his hand and poured all of its contents into his mouth.
Pablo, who was Maxwell's lawyer, decided not to keep quiet. He stepped forward and spoke to Valerie.
“Miss Valerie Morgan. With all due respect, I think you should leave now or you will be arrested for trespassing. Like you already said, you were once married but now divorced. I'm also sure that your parents had a hand in everything. They didn't want you two to be together because Maxwell was poor. Now, he has reclaimed his legacy, you suddenly want to acquire some of his properties, that's never going to happen.”
“You don't have to worry yourself with the explanation, Pablo. She knows that already. Moreover, we are no longer married so I owe her nothing.” Maxwell added.
“And who invited you into our conversations?” Valerie directed the question to Pablo before turning to Maxwell. “If you don't give me all that is supposed to be mine, I'm going to file a case against you. I'm not going to rest until I get everything that should belong to me.”
Valerie thought that since her parents could no longer have everything, she'd have to get all that she could. She was never going to back down.
Maxwell could not help but chuckle. Valerie must be a joker.
“But Miss Valerie, you should know that the divorce have already happened before Maxwell became rich. You can't get anything from him again.” Wyatt, who had been silent, tried to explain things to her but she shut him up.
“Will you shut that nosy mouth of yours. Who asked for your opinion?” Valerie snorted at him while glaring at them.
“Well, I've not come here to banter words with you because I don't have the time. I only came to inform you on what you should do because I'm never going to let you have it all.”
Valerie gave them all a dirty look before storming out of the place and soon drove off in her car.
She was not aware of the strange man who had been stalking her.
As soon as Valerie left the place, Maxwell and the others started towards the house but soon heard someone banging on the gate. They also turned back to the direction of the gate and saw a strange man outside.
He was arguing with the security guard.
“I need to see your boss immediately. Now go in and call him out for me.”
“What do you want, Mr? If you keep yelling, then I'll have no choice but to call the police. You're constituting a public nuisance.” The security replied while still blocking the man from getting access to the gate.
“What is going on here?” Maxwell interrupted them and the man turned to stare at him, disgust written all over his face.
“Who are you and what do you want from my security?”
“It's you I came to see, Maxwell or whatever your name is called.”
Maxwell didn't know who the man was so why was he looking for him. From the way he was acting, it looked like the strange man was really angry with him.
“So how can I help you?” Maxwell asked, ignoring the man's insolence. He needed to get the reason a strange man suddenly showed up at his residence and was acting up.
“That's a good question. If you must know, my name is Maurice Carter and I'm Valerie's husband. I've come to warn you to stay away from her. She's now my wife and no longer yours so back off.”
Maxwell and the other men were stunned to hear what the man just said. They were completely speechless. He had caused a little scene of passersby outside and the onlookers stopped to listen to the conflict.
Maxwell didn't know Maurice but the latter knew him. It was during his time in prison that he got married to Valerie and Maxwell only learned that his ex-wife had remarried. However, he didn't know who she got married to and did not care.
“Look, Maxwell. I've come to warn you. Don't be a homewrecker. I love my wife so much and won't take it if someone tries to come in between us.”
Maurice angrily stormed out of their presence and into an awaiting car.

I fear for my career.”"I don't know what to do right now because I can't lose my career, I'll lose face if he manages to expose me.” The Commissioner's voice was a little tense and Victor could sense the fear in it.It must be something serious if the commissioner was this scared."What exactly did he say to you?” Victor inquired in a low voice, his thoughts drifting away.He was thinking of so many things at the same time.“He accused me of using my influence to help you and your wife." The man replied and added.“He claims to be aware of what I did. That you and your wife should be rotting in jail but I helped you escape jail time.”

After a moment of silence, she swallowed hard and sighed inwardly. She thought of a lie to tell Valerie.“I… um… I was letting her off with a serious warning to not mess with you. I told her not to bother you again.” Silver lied, scratching her head nervously.“You see. I'll always stand up for you anytime." “Of course, you will."

"How dare you call me names?”Angel pointed a finger at her, curled her lips into a sneer and continued. "You, whose parents took over someone else's wealth. What could be more devilish than that?” "Of course, you're their offspring and you'll see nothing wrong with what they did. After all, the apple does not fall far from its tree.”Angel closed in on Valerie, closing the little distance between them.Angel gave Valerie a very disgusting look before adding. “Call me names one more time or even touch me then I'll show you what it means to be shameless.”Angel's face had darkened and the look on it was very cold. She was ready to devour Valerie and face whatever consequences that came with it.After she said those words, daring Valerie, she did not breathe a word.Valerie turned to Silver who raised brows at her and commented. “Come on, Val. We have to leave this place. You don't want to get into a fight, do you?" Valerie gave her friend an intense glare before turning back to face

Valerie and Anaya turned to see Silver standing beside them. She had a serious look on her face and glared at Valerie before going to have a seat. “You ditched us like we meant nothing and left the party. I thought you were just dancing and having fun like us. However, I was surprised to see that you slapped someone and went off.”"What did he do to you?”"He held me by the waist and I could not take it because I was afraid that he might take it further.” Valerie replied in a very low and meek voice.Anaya and Silver exchanged surprised glances.“What is wrong with trying to hold you by the waist?” Silver snapped at her and decided to change the topic.“Tell us what's going on, Valerie. How are you doing right now?" “I hope you're taking things easy?" The girls inquired, sounding very caring.“Yeah. I'm fine.”Anaya and Silver exchanged knowing glances before Silver called out to one of the waitresses there and ordered coffee.“What was that look about?" “It's about time you start

The latter answered the call but stayed silent.She just wanted to call Maxwell but did not have anything to say to him.“I hope you got home safely?" She finally inquired, smiling sheepishly while playfully squeezing her fingers. She had just come out of her bathroom after freshening up.“Yeah. Thank you." Maxwell replied, also smiling.He was still surprised at himself. If someone had told him before that he'd be in love with Angel, he'd have cursed the person.Now all his thoughts were about Angel.“Alright then, I'll hang up now. I wanted to make sure that you got home safely. See you tomorrow.” Angel added and without waiting for Maxwell to say anything else, she ended the call.
