A thought crossed Maximus’s mind. Could his grandmother be grooming Peter to take over if he failed to meet her ultimatum? Lately, that seemed like a possibility he couldn’t dismiss. Their last argument had revealed a side of her he had never seen before.

“Yes, sir. Don’t worry. We’ll do whatever it takes to get past your brother’s defenses.”
