Chapter 204 Oh thats my ex husband , Paisley stated the connection between her and Dominick without hesitation .
There was no reason to hide it .
I see .
A hint of apology flashed across Maxs face .
I may have said something that could have caused a misunderstanding .
I hope that doesnt cause you any trouble .
Dont worry about it .
He and I have been over for a long time .
Max nodded in understanding .
After chatting briefly , he finally got into his car and drove away .
Inside the car , on the passenger seat .
Leo turned his head , feigning casual curiosity .
Max , if you were that curious about the guy , why didnt you just ask Maria during the day ? Maria was the housekeeper Paisley trusted the most she definitely knew who that man was .
Max wasnt pleased that Leo had just exposed a secret thought he had been trying to suppress .
He kicked the back of the passenger seat .
You got too much free time , huh ? Have you finished all the tasks I assigned you ? Faced with his bosss rapid fire interrogation , Leo immediately turned back around , sitting straight like a disciplined soldier .
Just then his phone rang .
He stole a glance at Max before cautiously answering it After a brief conversation , he hung up , his previous playfulness vanishing as he turned serious .
Max , someone was investigating us this afternoon .
Maxs gaze turned sharp .
Who ? Could it be the people from Montera coming after him again ? They messed with his medicine , and now they wanted to try something different ? Its the Vanderbilt family from Harrowfell .
Leos answer was unexpected .
The Vanderbilt family ? Maxs expression grew complicated .
Max was well aware of the Vanderbilt family in Harrowfell .
Their business dealings were rare , as one family was based in Harrowfell and the other in Montera , separated by a great distance .
More importantly , Max himself had never crossed paths with anyone from the Vanderbilt family .
Yes , the heir to the Vanderbilt family , Dominick , the current CEO of the Vanderbilt Group , Leo said , his tone equally complex .
And whats more , hes investigating us openly , not even trying to hide it .
It feels like hes- Sending a warning .
Maxs gaze deepened as a suspicion began to form in his mind .
He took out his phone and searched for Dominick .
Seeing Dominicks photo on the screen confirmed his hunch .
Yes , exactly ! Like hes trying to send a warning ! Leos eyes lit up as he slipped into flattery mode .
Damn , boss .

You figured it out so fast ! Max didnt enjoy the compliment at all .
If you dont know how to compliment someone , just shut up .
Leo chuckled awkwardly before regaining his serious demeanor How should we respond ? Looking out the car window , Max replied lazily , Ignore him .
In the study at Vanderbilt Manor , Dominick stared at the tablet in front of him , where Julian had compiled information about Max based on his cars license plate, Dominicks brows furrowed tightly .
Max Godard .
Yes .
Monteras Godard family .
Hes the adopted son of Tyson Godard , the current head of the family .
Is he married ? Dominick asked .
Julian hesitated , puzzled by the question , but answered truthfully , No , hes always been single .
Its rumored that hes not in good health .
Not in good health , Dominick muttered , his thoughts turning over .
Could someone like that even father a child ? After he heard that Max was single .
Dominicks tightly furrowed brows noticeably relaxed .
Whether or not Serena was Maxs , the fact that he was unmarried suggested that Paisley hadnt granted him any official status .
Seeing his bosss evident change in demeanor , Julian grew increasingly puzzled .
He struggled to piece his thoughts back together before continuing .
Yes , his health is poor .
He suffered severe injuries years ago and almost died .
Why didnt he just die ? Dominick murmured under his breath , nearly stabbing his finger through the tablet screen in frustration .
Julian froze , staring in disbelief .
Did his boss just say that ?
