Chapter 454 - A Plan That Failed

"Are you crazy? You consider someone else's wife as your woman? Really you embarrassed the Adamson surname. What if Grandpa finds out?". Virsen couldn't control himself so he dared to challenge Maxwell's gaze

.

"Aaaa". Virsen screamed very loudly when Maxwell hit him hard in the face.

Instantly Qiara was shocked because she did not expect that Maxwell could look terrible like this.

"Do you want to be locked up again?". Maxwell whispered, tugging Virsen by the collar.

"Hahaha, even though grandfather appointed you as his heir. But, he will not let you hurt your own family members. I will complain to grandfather". Said Virsen after spitting. He then laughed loud enough to provoke Maxwell into showing who he was.

"This is my last warning, if you repeat it again, I will not only hit your face, but burn you alive. Don't you know who I am?". After saying that, Maxwell let Virsen go.

Instantly Virsen grabbed his neck while shuddering in horror, he knew how reckless and merciless Maxwel was since he was appointed as the leader of the Mafia. 

"Let's get out of here because it's very late". After that Maxwell pulled Qiara's hand to leave the place.

"Wait a minute!". Qiara stopped Maxwell and released her hand from Maxwell's grip.

"What is wrong?". Asked Maxwell as he looked at Qiara sarcastically. 

"I can not leave Helena, after all she is my sister. So, I have to go back to help Helena to escape Virsen".

After saying that, Qiara turned around. But Maxwell pulled her hand again. 

Helena and Virsen were still standing in their places, watching Qiara and Maxwell. 

"Are you stupid? I thought you were a smart woman. If Helena was really hurt by Virsen, she wouldn't just be standing there. Besides, you've been fooled by their drama". Maxwell said seriously. 

Qiara was silent for a moment, she tried to think about what Maxwell had just told her about Helena. After that she looked at Helena sarcastically.

Not long after, Qiara came back closer to Helena. 

"Why did you ask me to come? What do you want to talk about?". Qiara asked sarcastically after she was in front of Helena and Virsen who were suffering from pain in her face.

Instantly Helena felt nervous and confused because she didn't really want to talk about anything with Qiara.

"I...".

Plakk…

One slap landed on Helena's cheek before she could continue her sentence.

"Aaa ... Qiara ... Why did you slap me?". Shouted Helena while holding her cheek which was hit by a hard slap.

For the second time, Helena received two heavy slaps. And this time was the most painful.

"I just wanted to make the drama you made with Virsen look natural". Qiara replied with a smile.

Helena gritted her teeth because Qiara knew what her plan was.

Instantly Maxwell smiled and became more and more attracted to Qiara, a tough woman who was not easily bullied. 

"I have to have you". Maxwell thought with a sharp gaze.

After saying her last sentence, Qiara immediately left Helena and Virsen satisfied.

Meanwhile Virsen is burning with rage because his plan failed for the umpteenth time because of Maxwell again. 

"How am I supposed to take revenge on Julian if now Maxwell has intervened, if I keep fighting then it means I killed myself. Maxwell is a daring madman". Inner Virsen.

After thinking about it, Virsen immediately returned to the Flory Palace followed by Helena with a sprint. 

"Can we go now or should we have dinner together first?". Maxwell asked Qiara who had arrived in front of Maxwell's car.

"Of course I have to go now because someone is waiting for me at home. Oh yes, will you fire me because I'm married?". Qiara asked doubtfully.

Qiara still remembers what Virsen told Maxwell about her being someone's wife. She thought that it was time to bury her dream of becoming an artist.

Maxwell smiled and then grabbed Qiara's shoulders as he said. "I closed my eyes and ears about it. So, shut your mouth too and don't let your secret leak. You are Kevin's mainstay, so I can't possibly fire you".

For some reason, Qiara breathed a sigh of relief. However, she began to feel uncomfortable when she saw the attitude and warmth that Maxwell gave.

"Boss ... Can I ask?".

"What is that?". Replied Maxwell curiously.

"Why is Boss nice to me? Is what Boss said yesterday is true? Does tBoss like me?". Qiara asked nervously because she was afraid he would offend Maxwell.

Hearing Qiara's question, Maxwell fell silent. After that he leaned back in his car with a smile towards the dark but star-studded sky.

Qiara is still patiently waiting for Maxwell's answer because she needs certainty so that she can determine her attitude towards Maxwell.

"You remind me of a woman, that's why I want to give you the best. Because I have failed to protect her". Maxwell replied as she looked at Qiara gently.

"Girl? Is she your lover?". Asked Qiara who was getting more and more curious.

"She is a very important girl to me. But, she is now in the sky. She is the brightest star because anyone who knows her will always shine". Answered Maxwell, looking up at the stars in the sky.

Instantly Qiara concluded that the woman Maxwell was referring to had left.

"Looks like he really loves her, sorry for him". Inner Qiara frowned.

"It's late at night, should I take you home?". Maxwell said while carving a sweet smile because he didn't want Qiara to ask any further questions because it would only make his heart hurt.

"Sorry Boss, but I already ordered a taxi online. Besides, I don't want any gossip if anyone sees us together. So, I'll say goodbye now!". After saying that, Qiara immediately left Maxwell with a complicated feeling because Qiara was worried that she would offend Maxwell or make him angry. 

"The more she rejects me, the more I want her". Maxwell thought as he watched Qiara who had walked a long way leaving him alone. 

After finishing thinking about it, Maxwell immediately got into his car because he thought that he could still get Qiara to be driven home by him.
