Chapter 435
Max’s face remained expressionless as he listened to Michael mention his name.
Michael spoke again. “Max, I’m entrusting this to you. Take this woman and her child and
get them out of here. Drop them off somewhere only you know about, so that certain
prying eyes Can’t follow.”
After finishing his directive, Michael turned his gaze toward the kneeling woman. “Tell me,
how much do you want?”
Without any hesitation, the woman stated, “Fifty million.”
Michael had no intention of saying anything further, so with a dismissive wave of his hand,
his consent was given.
Max stood up, ready to escort the woman away, but Spencer, who had been sitting quietly
in a corner, also stood up. “Uncle Max, I’ll come with you.”
Max’s brow furrowed at the Interruption, only to hear Spencer add. “After all, he is my
half–brother,”
Discussing so–called family ties within the Dorsey clan was almost laughable, but Max
didn’t call Spencer out on it.
The woman followed quietly, holding her child close. The child was only six months old,
smiling and reaching out to grab his mother’s face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe woman had been assertive when demanding money, but now, softened by her child’s
presence, she sighed and gently soothed him, “Be a good little man.” She knew he
couldn’t understand, but her voice grew tender all the same.
Max, leading the way, paused at the sound of the child’s laughter, unable to resist
glancing back. The child was indeed beautiful–rosy–cheeked and clean.
Seeing Max stop and look at her child, the woman instinctively tightened her embrace.
When she was with Ryan, she had indeed thought about having this child as a ticket into
high society. She even believed she wouldn’t feel anything for the kid. But at the sight of
the child, all her schemes vanished and were replaced by fear of discovery by the Dorsey
family.
The Dorseys had a strict rule against illegitimate offspring, and she was well aware of it.
Rather than live in fear, she chose to confront them directly. If the Dorseys wanted her
child gone, she was ready to go too–her own greed had brought this on them both.
Fortunately, Michael was willing to pay.
Once away from Beaconsfield, it would be just her and her son against the world. But now,
facing this utterly impassive man, her heart raced wildly. She knew of Max and had heard
Ryan mention him more than once, describing him as a cold, merciless, unfeeling creature.
So, when he approached, she was so frightened that she immediately dropped to her
knees, clutching her child fiercely.

“Max, I’ll leave as soon as I have the money! Really, I won’t cause any trouble for the
Dorsey family!”
Max regarded her coldly. “The child shouldn’t exist. I’ve arranged the money and a doctor,
too.”
He had spoken with the woman before.
She shivered, her lips quivering. It was her greed that had led her here. She dreamed only
of entering the ranks of the elite.
As the shadow loomed over her, she was about to scramble backward, but then she saw
him lean in, gently lifting the child from her arms.
Max wasn’t adept at holding children and lifted him by the collar rather than cradling him.
Yet the child didn’t cry, even giggled, thinking it was a game.
As if discovering an amusing toy, Max pinched the child’s foot, eliciting another round of
giggles from the infant. “You’ve chosen to keep him, so he stays. I’ll arrange for someone
to take you away, but don’t reveal his parentage unless you want to be separated from
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim forever.”
The woman nodded rapidly, gratitude filling her eyes. “Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you,
thank you, Max.”
Max smiled softly. The sound dazzled the woman and sent a blush across her cheeks. She
thought perhaps Max would make a good father after all.
Outside the grand entrance of Dorsey International, Max’s people had arrived, taking the
woman and child away.
Max turned to face Spencer, who had been trailing behind. Spencer stood rigid with
nerves, “Uncle Max, I’ll be off too. That little brother of mine is quite charming, isn’t he?”
His words. were tripping over each other in his anxiousness.
Max stood tall, an aura of steely resolve about him. “Spencer, have you been bothering
Brielle?” This was the first time Max had addressed the issue of Brielle so directly with
him. Spencer’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shook his head. “I was just-”
“I’m with Brielle now.”
To others, Max never wasted words. Unnecessary talk was a waste of his time. So, the
more straightforward he was, the better.
“Stay away from her.”
