Madelyn's body suddenly stiffened. She couldn't help but look at Lucho.
Lucho seemed to have forgotten this. He was confident that he would win, but at this time...
Maxwell found that Issac looked very confident, and it seemed that he did not mean to hide anything. He looked at Madelyn, "What on earth has happened?" His voice was very deep and commanding.
Madelyn was naturally unwilling to admit it. Once she admitted it, Lucho would be in a dilemma, wouldn't he?
"Maxwell... don't listen to his nonsense... We've been together for many years. Don't you believe me?"
Isaac sneered, "I'll check the surveillance video now. Why don't you... come with me?"
Madelyn panicked and said without thinking, "No!"
She spoke too fast. After that, she realized she had overreacted. She glanced at Maxwell, "Maxwell... I..."
Maxwell squinted his eyes and naturally knew that Madelyn had a guilty conscience, "Tell me about it."
Madelyn made up her mind, "Well... I... forgot the time when I was shopping in the mall. Later, I thought that you had something to say, so I rushed back. As a result... I ran too fast, and I didn't notice the glass door of the mall, so I hit myself with it..."
She didn't tell the truth. It was the critical moment. How could she let her son be affected?
Maxwell frowned and looked at Madelyn with shrewd eyes. He checked the injury on her face carefully. He had experienced a lot before he became so powerful. How could he not know that she didn't bump into the glass door?
However, he did not force Madelyn to tell the truth in front of Lucho and Issac.
"You..." Maxwell snorted heavily, "You're really willful!"
Madelyn felt extremely embarrassed, and she was even ashamed and angry when she saw Isaac's teasing expression.
This son of a b*tch! Issac was more and more difficult to be framed!
"Get out!"
"Maxwell, listen to me..." Madelyn was dumbfounded for a moment and was in a hurry to explain. Maxwell seemed to be impatient. He roared again, "I asked you to go out first! Don't you think that you're disgraced enough?"
Lucho wanted to go forward and speak for Madelyn, but Madelyn tipped him a wink and asked him not to get involved. Then she left quickly.
Maxwell sighed heavily. He glanced at Lucho and looked then at Isaac who was standing straight aside, feeling awkward.
He coughed, walked to Isaac and patted him on the shoulder. "Why... didn't you explain earlier?"
Issac didn't speak.
Explain? What a joke!
"What I said just now was caused by a misunderstanding. Just forget it." Maxwell turned around, walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down. Then he coughed lightly again, "Didn't we agree that you would work in Bai Company tomorrow? Well, go there three days later."
Isaac frowned. Before he could speak, Lucho said, "Dad, there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" After finishing his words, he explained hurriedly, "Isaac may not be so familiar with our business now, so it's not good for him to work there in such a hurry."
Isaac smiled, "I'm not familiar with it, so I want to work there earlier. You're in charge of Bai Company, and I will make a huge progress as long as you give me some advice casually. In that case, I can help you to do something as soon as possible."
Lucho sneered, "Is that so? Thank you!"
Maxwell nodded, "Lucho, Isaac is right. You are his brother. Since he wants to work there, you should help him, lest..." He paused and then changed his words, "I asked you and Madelyn to come back today because I want to talk to you about this formally. But Madelyn... Alas! Lucho." He looked at Lucho and said, "Don't be as silly as Madelyn."
"I keep an eye on her everyday. How could she be sick?"
"Then I'll have a video call with her, or just let me talk to her on the phone." Isaac insisted.
Maxwell reached out and slapped on the table, "You b*stard! Don't you listen to me anymore? I asked you to come here not to let you contact her!"
"You promised me that I could contact her every month." Isaac was a little anxious, "Why don't you allow me to contact my mother? Is it because..."
"Don't call her mother! She's not your mother! She doesn't deserve it!" Maxwell roared angrily.
Isaac's face darkened. Just as he wanted to retort, he suddenly chuckled, "She doesn't deserve it? I only know that she gave birth to me, so she is my mother. The fact won't change just because you say that she doesn't deserve it."
Maxwell clenched his fists, "Shut up!"
Isaac smiled, "I said that I want to see her today, or let me hear her voice."
"You want to see her? Wait until you work in Bai Company and go through a big deal! Alright! Get out!"
"I said that I want to see her!"
"Don't try to provoke me. You know it's not good for you! If you want her to live a good life, get out now!"
Isaac was worried about his mother, but Maxwell did not agree with his request. In the past, he called his mother on this day every month, but that day...
She must be sick.
"Since you're about to enter Bai Company, shouldn't you be happy? Why do you look so upset and unhappy?" Lucho waited for Issac at the landing with his arms crossed. He smiled at Isaac, "Do you want to talk to me?"
