Chapter 0764
After a long day at work, Diana went back to her apartment fed her cats, and just as she was starting to relax, the doorbell rang. She went to answer it and found Frank Levet Jr. standing there. She didn’t know him very well, so she just stared at him for a moment, thinking he was looking for Maximus.
“Uh… Yes? Can I help you?” Diana asked hesitantly.
“Is Maximus here?” Frank’s voice was cold and distant.
“Maximus isn’t here…”
“Tell him that if he wants me to leave his brother alone, he needs to return my daughter. Otherwise, his brother will spend the rest of his life in the most isolated prison in Valentia.” With that, Frank turned and walked away.
Diana had no idea what was going on, but the encounter left her shaken. Nervous, she quickly went back inside, locked all the doors, and called Maximus.
“Come on… pick up… pick up…” she muttered anxiously, pacing the room. The second he answered, she blurted out, “Maximus!”
“Diana, where are you?”

“I’m at home. I came to check on my furbabies, and I was about to head over there, but I just had an unexpected visitor. Can you come get me? I’m scared, Maximus!”
“What happened? Who was it? Tell me!”
“Frank Levett Jr…. He said he wants you to give him back his daughter. If you don’t, he’ll have Peter thrown in prison.”
“Diana, stay put. I’m leaving right now. I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.”

And just like he said, Maximus arrived at Diana’s place in record time. They quickly grabbed her cats and left. The moment he saw her, it was clear she was shaken. On the way to Magnus’s house, she told him everything, and without another option, he told her to take a few days off.

“Mary… How are you?” Magnus asked when he saw her looking a little lost.
“I’m fine… Do you know where Maximus is?”
“He went out, but he should be back in about an hour. He went to pick up Diana.”
“Diana?”
“His current partner.”

“Huh… I don’t remember if Maximus mentioned her. Sorry my head’s been all over the place lately.”
“How are you really, Mary?”
“I already told you–I’m fine.”
“I don’t believe you. You’re a beautiful woman, and I still can’t understand how my son ended up marrying Al Levett.”

“Well… back then, I guess we were just immature.”

“It’s painful, but I don’t regret it. If I did, that would mean regretting my daughter, and I love her with all my heart,” Valerie said firmly. “By the way, why do you keep saying Maximus is your son?”
“Because he is. Maximus is my son… He never told you?”
“Honestly, with everything going on, I can’t trust my memory right now. But I don’t think he ever mentioned it.”
“It’s a long story, but yes, Maximus is my son.”
“Wow… that’s a surprise.”
“It was a shock for him too, but he’s slowly coming to terms with it. I know you’re Marcus Bartz’s wife, correct?”
“Well… things are a little complicated right now, but yes.”
“Whatever is happening, I hope you two can figure it out soon. Justice will be served for that family soon enough.”
Not long after, Maximus arrived, took Diana to her room, and once she was settled, he went to find Magnus–only to walk in on his father having a casual conversation with Mary.
