Chapter 988
On the outside, she had infinite glory. However, in reality, she had no status in the family and was simply a tool to be used.
James asked, “Then, what should we do now?”
Maxine sighed. “I’m afraid Grandpa sent me to protect you because he knew you didn't fully trust the Cadens. He wanted to use me to make you feel welcomed among the Cadens. That’s why he allowed me to come hoping that something would happen between us. At the same time, he’ll stay in contact with the Blithes. Even if Madelyn spreads the pictures, he'll still try to make the marriage happen. And, if it doesn’t happen, he'll think of something to cause a grievance between the Blithes and Mr. Gabriel.”
James listened carefully.
Although these were just Maxine’s guesses, they made complete sense.
“Don't worry. I'll take things one step at a time.” Maxine hugged her knees and propped her chin on them, speaking softly.
After thinking for a while, she felt that her situation was not too bad. At least she was still valuable to Tobias. He would not give up on her so soon. She looked up at James and said, “If I have to choose between the Blithes and you, I'll choose the latter.”
“...” Maxine’s sudden words shocked James.
After being stunned for a while, James returned to his senses and said, “Don't joke around. You know my situation. I already have a complicated relationship with women. Don’t put any more pressure on me.”
“Haha,” Maxine chuckled.
“I’m just kidding. No matter what, we're still cousins.”
James wanted to say that she was not from the Cadens and was adopted. However, he swallowed the words back and did not say anything.
“By the way...” Maxine changed the subject and asked, “What kind of martial art do you practice? Your skin has changed, and your defenses seemed to have become stronger.”
James explained, “Il used the techniques recorded in the medical book. One is called Heavenly Breath, and the other is Invincible
