The Heir

chapter 2

Maximilian regretted his decision to ask for Griffith’s help because they will never help him. Not in this lifetime, even in the next. Their impression of him for being a loser would never change unless he has millions of dollars inside his pockets. He breathed exasperatedly and looked at each one of them. Yeah, right, he did not belong there. Those people were dressed to fit the high society, but their characters stink. If not for Victoria, Maximilian could have done something to appease his wounded ego.

He looked at his wife Victoria, who was now crying in silence as she looked at him. Maximilian brought his thumbs to her cheeks and brushed her tears away.

“Hush...” he said and kissed her forehead. “I’ll see you at home.” Maximilian smiled sadly before turning his back.

He walked away from the banquet. He walked away from those people who have nothing to do but humiliate him every single time.

Maximilian was about to get into the car when he heard his wife calling him.

“Max!”

He suddenly halted and turned to face her.

“You should stay.” He cupped her cheek. It was still wet from tears.

“How can I stay there at this rate?” Victoria muttered and sighed.

“I ruined it.”

She caught his hands and gently pressed them. It was always comforting whenever she did that.

“Why didn’t you tell me about your mom, Max?”

“I don’t want to bother you.”
