When Alden saw how much his mother was suffering from the revelations, he nearly made the mistake of revealing that his father was alive. He had to bite the inside of his lip to stop himself, clenching his fists so tightly that his palms bore the marks. The pain was almost unbearable. After tucking his mother into bed, he went to the study and called Zander. Using his mother’s name, he ensured that Maximus wouldn’t receive the full investigation.

“You’ve got me there. How much are you willing to pay, Mr. Palmer?” Zander asked, intrigued.
