54 Sibling Shield

It was a classic sibling dynamic – Maxwell knew his sister Emma well enough to avoid setting her up romantically after her recent divorce. He believed she deserved a peaceful life, possibly leading the family business, under the protective wing of her brothers.

As Tom reflected on Maxwell’s words before leaving the house, he felt a sense of responsibility weighing on him. “Here’s the deal: Maxwell didn’t set up any business meeting for you. He just wants you at his concert tour next month, front row. And, your identity as his sister might be revealed. Maxwell has become protective, especially since that incident three years ago.

Initially, Maxwell had shielded Emma from the public eye, but the events three years prior had changed his stance, prompting him to draw her closer into his world.

Emma laughed off the overprotectiveness, “Okay, got it. Anything else?”

Tom hesitated, then disclosed additional information he hadn’t planned on sharing. “There’s more. Bella’s agent contacted me about her guest appearance at the concert. Surprisingly, Maxwell agreed, seemingly to channel your frustrations towards her.”

Tom didn’t mention the evidence Maxwell had gathered against Bella, intending to expose her. This was all to protect Emma from the messy details, knowing Maxwell’s longstanding resentment towards Bella.

Emma was taken aback, “Bella at Maxwell’s concert? She’s way out of her league, isn’t she? From acting to intruding into a concert?”
