Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

It was common knowledge that the late Mr Maynard had passed on everything he owned to Mrs Maynard before he died. His assets included two boxes of priceless antiquities. To sum it up, Mrs Maynard was a force to be reckoned with.

"You're the most respected elder in the Maynard family, grandma," Henry spoke up suddenly. His tone was less chilly now. "We all wish you a long and healthy life. Don't get too worked up."
