Chapter 306-My Brother Loves Helanie
Norman:
The way Maximus was glaring at Emmet and raising his voice didn’t seem to come from just hating Helanie’s mother. It was more than that. I wasn’t blind—I had been noticing it all too well.
I stayed silent because I thought the announcement of the engagement ceremony would knock some sense into Maximus and make him realize that what he was going for couldn’t be accepted.
But it seemed like he hadn’t learned anything. I needed to confront him.
And then there was Kaye, who had no idea where Kesha was these days but always knew what Helanie was doing—what she was wearing, what she was eating, all the time.
The fact that both of them were showing the same interest in Helanie could be dangerous. It could cause sibling rivalry, and I wondered how much Helanie was involved in it.
Was she giving Maximus hope?
She didn’t seem like the type to do so. From what I knew about her, she was shy and very reserved.
"Why? Why won’t you ask him any questions?" Maximus refused my request, and that was the first sign that things were spiraling out of control.
"I’m asking you, and are you responding?" I slammed my hand on the desk when I had enough. Both Kaye and Maximus went silent.
"I didn’t know it would cause so much distress. I honestly thought you guys were getting along well with Helanie," Emmet finally responded to his brothers’ accusations.
