It had been a month since Maximus found out his daughter was pregnant, a month since Diana Mendez had arrived in Valentia, a damn month since he had learned the whole truth. Peter’s investigation was clearly not intended to harm them as they’d initially thought. Instead, it revealed every vulnerability that could be used against them.

Since that long day at Frederick’s house, no one had spoken again. Marcus Bartz had left the Palmer Group, and Alden Palmer, albeit reluctantly, had also distanced himself from his inheritance. The name Maximus Palmer now appeared as just that a name. He had no intention of returning. Matthew was the legal representative, essentially just waiting

Waiting for what? Matthew was awaiting the arrival of Leonardo Palmer. Maximus was sure it wouldn’t take long; his supposed father wouldn’t delay. Once the company was declared bankrupt, Leonardo would inevitably show

Maximus had analyzed all the possibilities. Marcus was good at business, but Maximus was more meticulous with information, and his advantage was that he knew his family. If Leonardo thought it would be easy to strip them of their inheritance, he was sorely mistaken. Before that could happen, Maximus would rather declare bankruptcy, shut down operations, and watch as the empire his great–grandparents and ancestors had worked so hard to build slipped from their grasp.

On the other hand, Alden, who had gone through several difficult days after Peter left, was gradually adjusting to his son’s needs. On Saturdays, Peter would come for little Ethan and take him to Slovenia, which comforted the boy. After learning that Ethan had reconciled with John and no longer wanted to leave his school, Peter had to cancel the move, which gave him more time to focus on Celeste’s rehabilitation. Slowly, her mood and strength were improving.

As far as Alden knew, the relationship between his father and the art teacher was going smoothly. When he went to Slovenia to pick up his son, he saw it for himself. His father showed Celeste a level of attention he had never seen before. Saying it was the same as what he did with other women would be a lie. His father had always been discreet in some matters, especially in love, but now, with Celeste, he seemed genuinely committed and happy.
