Chapter 0943

That same day, Maximus headed straight to the office where he knew he’d find Judge Moriarty. After learning the results of his search, he couldn’t waste any more time without getting answers. On one hand, there was Alexia Levett and her stay in France, but more importantly, there was the matter of his son Lucius and his connection to Anthony Moriarty.

When he arrived, he announced himself to the judge’s secretary. She told him the judge wasn’t available, but when she saw how insistent he was, she had no choice but to go into Moriarty’s office. The judge rolled his eyes- having Maximus Evans outside his door could only mean two things: he was either there to confront him about Leonardo Palmer’s death or to ask about his son. And Moriarty was leaning toward the latter.

“Sir, Mr. Evans doesn’t seem like he’s going to leave. He says it’s important to speak with you…” the secretary said, embarrassed that she couldn’t get rid of the man waiting outside.

Moriarty let out a frustrated sigh but ultimately accepted the inevitable. Whether he dealt with Maximus today, tomorrow, or another day, the man would remain a headache–just like his son.

“Let him in. Cancel all my appointments until at least 5:00 p.m. Hopefully, two hours will be enough for him,” Moriarty said as he got up to pour himself a drink.

A moment later, the spitting image of Lucius walked through the door. Moriarty narrowed his eyes and thought, Lucius Palmer, you really are a goddamn pain in the ass. Then, he smirked and stepped forward to greet his visitor.

“Good afternoon, Maximus Evans. What brings you here at this hour?” Moriarty asked, locking eyes with the man and shaking his hand firmly.

“Good afternoon, Judge Moriarty…” Maximus replied, trying not to seem nervous.
