FakeNovelChapter 1083 She ended the call. She could feel her grandson was suffering because of the mistakes he'd made, but she couldn't give him the skind of affection she used to when he was a child.
This time, he hadn't just fallen-he'd hurt someone else. And not just once. He'd hurt her both physically and emotionally.
Back at Palmer Group, after the call ended, Maximus sat behind his desk and tried to focus on work, but he couldn't get his grandmother's words out of his head.
"Beauty doesn't grow in hell.' Grandma... you and your sayings. I know I hurt Mary. But I also know she loves me. And if I don't file for divorce, she'll never really leave me." The day flew by too fast. Soon, night had fallen, and darkness blanketed the city. For a moment, he felt the urge to go home.

Out of nowhere, he started to see a familiar silhouette pacing back and forth, trying not to draw attention. Then it disappeared. A moment later, he saw it again that small, thin frame-sneaking into the office, grabbing a few books, and curling up on the sofa in front of the bookshelf to read them.
The image started to cinto focus and...
"Maximus? Sorry, I thought you weren't here. I didn't mean to cin, it's just... I like reading your books. I want to learn more, and I always rush through my homework just so I can sneak in here before you get back..." "Get out! I never gave you permission to cin here!" "Maximus, I'm sorry! I... I just..." Maximus could see the silhouette of his past self-slapping Mary across the face, knocking her to the ground. He picked her up, grabbed her by the shirt, and threw her out of the study.
That memory hurt. She had never even had the chance to finish school. She was hungry to learn. He hadn't been fair-he'd made her life hell.
It was like she was reliving it all from a different angle, even up to the day of the wedding. His face was twisted, furious, staring at himself in the mirror...
"You're such an idiot! You fell right into Grandma's trap! That damn Mary with her fake little face! Stupid brat, you gaveyour virginity just to makefall for you! "But this wedding... this wedding is happening forand for Alexia. And my dear wife-she's going to learn what hell is. And no one's going to save her from it." "Maximus, it's time! Mary's about to walk down the aisle, letgo with you. First, we get you there, then I'll go bring my girl," said Grandma, full of emotion.
"Let's go, Grandma, I'm in a hurry," Maximus said coldly, his eyes just as cold.
"Oh, son, you're in a hurry! For God's sake, don't tellany private details-I know you two aren't waiting for the wedding night, but first you've gotta get married," she teased.
"Grandma, let's just go," Maximus snapped, clearly annoyed.

Peter and Mary's friends from Galea had been invited too, but they never showed up. The ceremony and dinner were supposed to be the event of the year.
Maximus Palmer was getting married. The president of Palmer
Group was tying the knot, and not a single media outlet covered it. The excuse was that it was all too rushed. e And Maximus regretted that-because the girl deserved a better celebration. But déep down, he was relieved it hadn't been a big deal. "Welcto your new life, Mary. From now on, it's going to be hell," Maximus whispered in her ear as she smiled brightly.
She didn't understand his words, but a chill ran down her spine when she saw the look on his face.
Her wide, beautiful smile disappeared the second she saw
him. She got into the car, and from that moment on, everything changed. They were supposed to go on a dream honeymoon-but Maximus canceled it last minute, and they went straight to the mansion.
When they arrived, she expected him to carry her in his arms like he used to do before the wedding. But he didn't. He didn't even bother to open the car door for her. So she opened it herself and got out.
