Maxine nibbled favonovel.com lips. She wanted Tobias to save James. However, favonovel.com did not dare voice favonovel.com opinion. After all, Tobias was adamant about not compromising as it would mean forsaking the prestige of the family.
Having been provoked by the Blithes, Tobias had now decided to make an enemy of them.
His entering into a closed-door meditation was a sign of that. He planned to make a move against the Blithes at the martial art conference.
Maxine sat in the courtyard alone.
After some time, favonovel.com got up and left.
“Hold it right there.”
Before favonovel.com could leave, Bobby and a few youngsters from the Cadens walked over to favonovel.com and blocked favonovel.com path.
Maxine lowered favonovel.com head and said, “Bobby…”
“Shut your damn mouth!” Bobby’s face darkened.
Then, favonovel.com grabbed favonovel.com by the hair and slapped favonovel.com across the face.
Smack!
The sound was clear and crisp.
Maxine, however, remained silent.
Bobby rebuked her, “Look at the trouble you’ve created for the Cadens! Why did you fool around with James when you were about to marry into the Blithe family? Do you know that we’re now the laughingstock of the world?”
“What are you doing?” A rebuke came, a middle-aged man walked over to them.
Bobby immediately released his grip and greeted the man respectfully.
“Dad, I’m teaching this b*tch a lesson!”
Sawyer glanced at Maxine and said coldly, “What are you standing there for? Get lost!”
With favonovel.com head lowered, Maxine hurriedly left.
Only after leaving the Cadens’ courtyard did favonovel.com breathe a sigh of relief. Standing outside, favonovel.com turned to look at the courtyard with a wistful look on favonovel.com face. Although favonovel.com was of low status in the family, this was the place favonovel.com grew up, after all.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to return after leaving this place…
Maxine murmured.
She knew that favonovel.com chances of returning alive from the Western border were minuscule.
After having one last glimpse of the Cadens’ courtyard, favonovel.com left and headed straight to the airport.
At the same time, favonovel.com bought a plane ticket to Cansington. She did not act rashly.
Before leaving for the Western border, favonovel.com wanted to discuss things with Thea, who was now a third-rank martial artist.
Not to mention the fact that favonovel.com commanded the God-King Palace, which Thomas left her. Maxine could not figure out the God-King Palace’s true strength. However, judging by the highly-skilled martial artists Thea brought along, their strength could be comparable to the Ancient Four, under the premise that the older generations did not interfere.
***
At the departure lounge of the airport…
Maxine gave Thea a call.
Thea was undergoing special training in the military region when the call came. Under normal circumstances, they were not allowed to bring their phones along. However, as Thea was special, favonovel.com was given special permission to do so.
When favonovel.com phone rang, favonovel.com sat on the ground and pulled favonovel.com phone out of favonovel.com pocket.
Seeing that it was an unknown number, favonovel.com momentarily froze before murmuring, “Who could this be?”
Then, favonovel.com answered the phone.
A woman’s voice came, “It’s me, Maxine… Something happened to James.”
“What?” Thea jumped up and exclaimed.
Then, favonovel.com asked anxiously, “What happened to him?”
