BRIAN ZHAO was sitting inside his private office with a furious expression on his face. Multiple documents were scattered on his desk, while his loosened tie hung around his neck.He had already received the news about his suspension from the Griffin Conglomerate, and his lawyers had been contacting him nonstop regarding the investigation. His family had also been informed about the situation, leaving everyone in panic.“That bastard…”Brian muttered as he poured himself another glass of whiskey. He immediately drank it and slammed the glass onto the table. He could still remember Max’s cold expression during the emergency board meeting.
Chapter 42: Board Meeting
MAX did not slack off after the Griffin’s grand reunion. He buried himself in work, determined to gather evidence regarding the suspicious subsidiaries under the Zhaos. The incident from that night when Max showed symptoms was never discussed again since Blaze was never nosy about it.Using his personal laptop, Max used his hacking skills to trace the funds that seemed to magically disappear without proper liquidation.As expected, he learned that the issue of the missing files from the Engineering Department some time ago was all related.“What the hell?!” His thick brow almost formed a line. “Damn it! What were you up to, Lucas Griffin!”Max gritted his teeth. It took him a while before calming down.
Chapter 41: Poison Ivy and the Wraith
ADARA was inside the Cussler’s private gym doing her kickboxing exercise when one of the guards approached her.His shoulder-length brown hair was wet with her sweat as she kept punching and kicking with her full might.“Miss Adara, apologies for the disturbance, but the Godfatherwants to see you.”Adara paused, hitting the boxing sandbag using her red gloves. “Is it urgent?”“I believe it is,” the young uniformed guard said politely.“Oh? Do you have any idea why?” Adara patted her sweaty face with a white towel.She wondered why Rob would suddenly call for her in the midst of her training.The man shook his head. “No idea.”
Chapter 40: The Symptoms
DELILAHdistanced herself after a while. She cleared her throat after regaining her composure and wiped the tears from her eyes.“Apologies for that, Max. I didn’t mean to be this emotional.”“That’s fine. Can you tell me more?” Max never thought he’d be this interested.“After the wedding, Viktor would come home like he was a different person. Sometimes, he’d suffer a severe headache, to the point that he would fail to recognize me. Though medicines would help him calm down, he’d wake up in the middle of the night, screaming. He looked terrified of something. Yet, he couldn’t tell me anything about it…” Delilah continued telling the story. It was so detailed, as if it had happened only yesterday.
Chapter 39: Delilah Griffin
MAXcasually excused himself after dinner to look for the maid. He went to the kitchen while Blaze followed him, wondering what was going on.“You’re looking for someone, Boss?”“Are you familiar with the old maid who poured me wine earlier?” Max replied after checking the entire kitchen, yet he couldn’t find the woman.Blaze lightly scratched his head. “Sorry, Boss. I was too focused on observing the hostilities of your family members that I missed the maids tending to you. But rest assured, every staff member in the mansion goes through a strict screening. No one will harm you.”Max continued to search. “Where is Oliver? Why can't I see him around?”“Oh, I f

“DARLING, look. I must have had such high expectations for the sole heir of the Griffin Conglomerate. Turns out he’s just… ordinary.” The man scrutinized Max. His monolid eyes gazed at him from head to foot.‘The Zhaos seemed to have the same judgmental habit,’ Max almost smirked.Meanwhile, Riley and Mason exchanged glances, but they didn’t say a word.Vera let out a soft giggle. “I’m afraid you’re speaking facts, Darling. Let us introduce ourselves so that he knows where to go once he finds it hard to manage the Griffin’s business empire.” She paused and offered her elegant hand. “I’m Vera, and this is my husband, Benny.”Max didn’t want to appear impolite, so
