Frank Levett was an unyielding judge, whose reputation over the years had become untouchable. Considered an exemplary citizen, his opinions carried weight both professionally and personally.

Alexia’s parents, who for years had been passive observers of their daughter’s relationship with Maximus Palmer, were eager to meet him after hearing through the media that their daughter had finally secured one of the wealthiest men in Valeria.

“My beautiful granddaughter! How are you? I don’t see any sign of a baby bump yet. We must hurry with the wedding; I don’t want the tabloids spreading rumors about a shotgun marriage,” Frank Levett Sr. remarked coldly, fixing his gaze on Maximus.

“Grandpa, please! Don’t start with those inappropriate comments,” Alexia replied, feigning annoyance. She knew this exchange was part of a carefully rehearsed scene between her and her grandfather.
