"It's fine. It's healing now," Maxwell said, looking out at the view. "Your father really believed he pulled off a masterclass at that lunch.""Oh, you have no idea," Driana sighed, and he heard the faint rustle of fabric as she settled deeper into a couch on her end. "He walked into the house like he'd just conquered a small country. And then my mother found out he'd arranged the whole thing without consulting her first."Maxwell smiled faintly. "She wasn't thrilled about being left out?" He asked. "Thrilled? She was offended he didn't tell her immediately so she could start planning the wedding that very night," Driana said, letting out a groan of pure dismay. "My aunt Rosa has already informed me that I'd be a queen if I married you. They've practically assigned you a seat at the family table.""They move fast," Maxwell remarked."They do," Driana agreed. "But honestly, that works in our favor. The contract's already signed, so there's nothing left for them to second-guess. And th

Victoria broke the heavy silence Julian left behind, turning to the remaining board members with a casual, professional smile. "I apologize for the disruption, ladies and gentlemen. Let's call it a day. Our legal team already has everything they need to proceed against Frank."The executives murmured their agreement, shutting their laptops and gathering their folders before filtering out of the room. Maxwell didn't stay behind to chat. He caught Kieran's eye, gave him a brief nod of thanks for the support, and walked back to his office.The rest of the afternoon passed quietly. Maxwell spent his time going over the work files Natasha had sent, while Hazel worked quietly at her desk outside, keeping his schedule clear of any more uninvited family drop-ins. By six o'clock, the high-rise office had emptied out.Maxwell left the building, took the private elevator down to the garage, and drove the McLaren home. He arrived at home. Maxwell tossed his suit jacket onto the large white sofa

Victoria slammed her hand down on the polished wood table, the loud smack cutting off the silence in the room. Her face was pure ice as she glared at her son. "Julian, how dare you say something like that in this room? Maxwell has done nothing but protect this company since the day he got here."Julian didn't even move. He just shrugged, keeping his arms folded as he leaned against the window frame. He looked completely shameless, not caring at all that he had just insulted his cousin in front of the entire senior leadership team."I'm just being realistic, Mother," Julian said, his voice smooth and entirely too casual. "We're talking about a massive corporate hit. The Lexus family spent a year buying our secrets. Maxwell spent twenty-seven years living under their roof. You can't blame me for asking where his loyalties are when the target is his own birth mother."Maxwell watched his cousin, feeling a strange sense of detachment. He wasn't even angry. What surprised him was just how

Far away from the comfort of the Sterling Industries conference room, in a cramped and run-down stretch of warehouses near the very edge of the state line, Frank Delacroix was running for his life.His lungs burned with every ragged breath he dragged in, and his expensive dress shoes, the same shoes he had once worn so proudly to manage one of the most profitable facilities in the entire Sterling empire, slapped uselessly against the cracked concrete as he sprinted down a narrow alley between two abandoned storage buildings. Behind him, the harsh, blinding beams of half a dozen flashlights cut through the gathering evening gloom, and the voices of the federal agents pursuing him rang out sharp and commanding through the still air."Federal agents! Stop running and get on the ground! There is nowhere left for you to go!"But Frank had absolutely no intention of stopping, because stopping meant the end of everything, and a man with nothing left to lose will keep running long past the p

Maxwell didn't want to insist anymore. He didn't see the point in doing that when it was clear Camille didn't want his help. He had made a genuine offer, and if her pride was worth more to her than a quick solution for the children, he wasn't going to argue. He had too many other things to worry about to waste time begging someone to take his money.Driana looked at the quiet woman standing next to Maxwell, breaking the silence. "And who's this?"Hazel offered a polite smile, stepping forward slightly. "I'm Maxwell's assistant, Hazel."Driana's expression cleared as she realized who she was looking at. This was the assistant Maxwell had mentioned during their dinner—the one who would help them manage the logistics of their fake relationship so both of their families would believe the act.She looked over at Maxwell. "Have you spoken with her yet?""Yes," Maxwell said, his face completely expressionless. "But we shouldn't talk about that here." There was no reason to discuss their arra

The mention of Theo made Camille remember that Maxwell did care genuinely after all. Of course he did. Not that long ago, he was the one who helped Theo find his way back home. She realized that even though Maxwell was incredibly annoying, he wasn't completely heartless.Still, her massive pride completely blocked her from accepting his help, even though she knew deep down that a billionaire like him could save the orphanage with a single check.Also, she kind of hated him because she felt that he was to blame for this situation.She bit her lip, looking thoroughly defeated and miserable as she turned her face away from him entirely, refusing to give him the satisfaction of seeing her break down."She won't tell you, Maxwell, so I will," Driana sighed, stepping forward and shaking her head in frustration. She looked at Camille with a heavy mixture of exasperation and genuine worry. "Camille’s orphanage is going completely bankrupt. Her family cut her off entirely from the estate accou
