Chapter 218: Expecting someone else?
Diana’s existence would obstruct that method and he would not be able to harm the Chens in the slightest.
If Maxim lost his wife due to Ryle’s retaliation, then both Maxim and Hazel would come at him with daggers. That was not a very ideal situation that he would prefer to put himself in.
So, he wanted to drop the hot potato back to his friend or at least act like it was a big deal so that Maxim could coax or comfort him a little but he never would have thought he would be tricked so flawlessly.
If it had been other times, Ryle would not have been easily provoked despite his temper. But he was already like a taut string due to his wild secretary then came the mysterious heiress whom he could not track when he had initially thought of her as a trifle he could not be bothered to pay attention to. In the end, he had called his friend to get some comfort with the excuse of not being able to find Daisy. He had thought Maxim would probably plead a bit, unlike his rebellious secretary who had an enormous ego, but who could have known that he would be ruthlessly humiliated by Maxim instead? And the man even doubted his capabilities.
Ryle did not have it easy and having lost his calm, he did not pay attention to how he had been hoodwinked and led by the nose by Maxim.
Maxim, on the other hand, looked at his phone as he squinted thoughtfully. The call from Ryle gave him a flashback to something that had slipped off his mind lately.
The mention of Daisy reminded him of the reason he asked Ryle to look for Daisy in the first place.
Dexter.
Is that guy still living at Diana’s place?
