Semua Bab The Disinherited of the Multimillionaire Family : Bab 11 - Bab 20

"You?" What are you doing here? Isabella stammered, feeling her heart begin to hammer hard against her chest.She stood stunned on the doorstep, looking impressed at this handsome, elegant man, who always had that frowning expression and who did not take his eyes off her.Máximo didn't say anything, he only raised one of his hands and in it, he was wearing a kind of colored cloth, at first Isabella didn't understand what it was, until she remembered the sarong she had lost in the pool."Is this yours?" He asked, in a thick, deep voice, which caused a small shudder inside Isabella."Yes... Yes..." Isabella held out her hand to receive the cloth. "Thank you. He muttered, lowering his gaze.She waited for a moment, but she didn't see him leave, he just stood there, with that perpetual stern, formal, intimidating grimace."Well, I..." Isabella took a step back, intending to close the door. - I have to leave it, but... Thanks a lot.She felt that she should get away from that man who made

Maximo left Isabella's room, completely confused, "What the hell just happened?" he pondered.First, it felt strange, had the closeness with Isabella affected him? No, that was impossible.The accelerated rhythm of his heart must have been due to the impression of discovering the truth: that the young woman was the same homeless woman he had run over; added to the shock caused by the unexpected arrival of Mrs. Margaret Sinclair to the room... Yes, it had to be that.Once he thought those strange feelings and sensations cleared up, there was another point to think about.He had discovered the truth about the young woman and much more than he had ever hoped to discover.Yes, indeed, the girl who was on that cruise ship was the same homeless woman who had run over... But was she also a Sinclair?He still couldn't believe it.How could Isabella belong to the second richest and most powerful family in the country, when only a few days ago, he himself had seen her on the street, looking dir

Valeria didn't know what to say, she had made a terrible mistake, one that would surely cost her dearly.But she was not sorry for raising her hand against Isabella, but for not having noticed her grandmother in time, who crossed her path.Her eyes filled with tears of helplessness and indignation and after emitting a loud growl, she turned to run out of the restaurant."Grandma..." Aiden tried to speak when he was interrupted by Maximo."Mrs. Sinclair, are you all, right?" He asked, still stunned, by what had happened."What are you doing with my granddaughter, Mr. Collins?" Margaret replied, frowning, completely ignorant of Maximus's question. "Why do I notice, lately, that you're always around Isabella just when something happens to her?" The woman continued talking, with a bad face.Surprised by Margaret's ill-founded assumption, Maximo slid his gaze to Isabella, who had clung to Aiden in the middle of the whole show.Maximo's expression was again filled with anger and bad humor.

"But if together, we talk to grandma..." Valeria hit Maximo's chest. "She could hear us...Máximo wrinkled his brow with a spark of annoyance and discomfort and Valeria realized that she was losing it, the opportunity she had waited for so long, was slipping out of her hands and that was not how the plan was supposed to turn out.So, in the midst of her despair, thinking that she could seduce him, she threw herself at him, intertwining her arms around Maximo's neck and stamping his lips, with all her strength.Everything happened very quickly, it was in just an instant, Máximo was surprised by the sudden attack of the supposed lady and took Valeria by the shoulders, ready to separate her, when out of the corner of his eye he saw a movement in the corridor.Exerting just enough pressure so as not to hurt her, he pulled Valeria off her body and turned to where, just a moment ago, he thought he saw the presence of someone, however, there was no one in the hallway."Maximo?" What's going

Valeria was about to get up, indignant, to complain to Aiden and Isabella, she did not know what she was going to claim, but she would do it anyway.And at the same moment that she stirred in her seat, her grandmother, Margaret, entered the restaurant, with that stern expression that always accompanied her, which reminded Valeria of all that was at stake.He couldn't do anything stupid, at least until the announcement was made.As before, Margaret took her place with the special guests, the Collins and dinner was served.Everyone ate nervously, many could not even eat, because the future of the family was at stake, all the fortune and the power to order, would be in the hands of someone new and that gave a lot to think about.After dessert, Margaret got up from her seat and went to the stage, where the band stopped playing to give way to her.There was a moment of deathly silence, everyone was attentive to the words of the leader of the Sinclair family.Margaret first congratulated al
