Isaac stares at Anthony, momentarily unsure of how to navigate the standoff. Just as he resolves to remain silent and push past him, he catches sight of Max striding through the main entrance.
Anthony and Savannah notice him at the exact same moment. As the imposing man draws near, Isaac dips his head. "Mr. Hawthorne."
Max's piercing gaze locks onto Anthony. Though Anthony stands at an impressive six feet tall, he is still a fraction shorter than Max. Meeting the intense glare, Anthony offers a tight, polite smile. "So it is Mr. Hawthorne who needs our CEO."
"Where is he?" Max demands, his voice dangerously low.
Anthony shrugs casually. "If you are looking for him, then I am afraid I genuinely don't know."
Max stares him down, a flicker of pure, unadulterated malice flashing in the depths of his dark eyes.
"We have a prior engagement, so we will be on our way. Make yourself at home," Anthony says, stepping past Max and heading for the exit. Max makes no move to stop him. Savannah shoots Max a wary glance, choosing to stay silent as she hurries after Anthony.
Once they are safely in their car, Savannah voices her anxiety. "Did something happen?"
None of them know what Jeremy is currently doing, nor do they have any updates on Felicia's condition with Jeffrey. Max storming in with such murderous intent definitely signals that something has gone terribly wrong.
"I have no idea. Let me try calling him," Anthony replies, pulling out his phone. He dials Jeremy's number, but it fails to connect. Jeremy had mentioned two days ago that he had a personal matter to handle, and his phone has been entirely blocked from receiving signals ever since.
Watching Anthony lower his phone, Savannah asks, "Still nothing?"

Take her back? Want to see her?? Donno about Felicia but I think I’m falling for this Max somehow🫠🙈pls update daily...
I knew it! Hopefully Felicia's health will improve and will want to have the baby. Oh how I despise Max's family....
Please post *I forgot I ever loved you*...
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
