Chapter 284: You knew it?
’’You lucky thing, do you know how much of a tragedy I have landed myself in?"
Maxim arched a brow quietly, motioning for him to speak.
Alex could no longer hold back as he vented about his frustrations.
When he went back to the mansion yesterday, his father announced that his long-lost uncle was found and the cousin that he thought was dead was in fact alive and well.
Before Alex could continue speaking, Maxim cut him off, ’’That’s a good thing.’’
’’Easy for you to say,’’ Alex blocked the Maxim’s the moment he turned to leave.
’’Your family affairs are none of my business.’’
’’You... I am not saying it is any of your business. But your good luck is all of my business. Why is it that we both operated on Louis and it is only me who is suffering now?" Alex was genuinely happy for his father and grandfather when they broke this news to him but that happiness was traded with dread the moment he discovered who his Uncle was, ’’Now, that man has accused me of manhandling him and misbehaving with him and all that when it was both of us who took such measures for his own good. I was asked by my father to beg for his forgiveness.’’
Maxim picked up the glass of water from his desk, his fingers tracing the rims of the glass as he sipped from it.
’’But that man refused to forgive me. Now my father wants me to serve Louis...’’
’’Your Uncle,’’ Maxim interrupted casually.
