Chapter272
“You still wanted to get a marriage certificate with Roxanne?” Leonard was almost furious enough to pass out, but after last night’s blow, he could handle it a bit better than before.
“I don’t allow it!” Leonard glared at Maxwell. “And your face too, how did it end up like this?”
Maxwell hesitated a bit and said, “Stephanie did it.”
“Serves you right!” Leonard said firmly. “You deserved it!”
Maxwell lowered his head and didn’t know what to say, and Leonard was so angry he couldn’t speak.
Jennifer watched the situation from the side, looking at Maxwell with a complicated expression: “Maxwell, you better think this through. Once you and Roxanne actually get the marriage certificate, there’s no turning back between you and Steph.”
“I don’t care how many excuses you have,” Jennifer said, “but a woman would never forgive a man who betrayed her.”
Maxwell clenched his hands.
“When it was all over,” Maxwell said, “I would explain it to her.“,
“Explain my ass!” Leonard hit him with his cane again, pissed off. “I think you were just bewitched by Roxanne!“.

“I already called Steph and told her to come over here.” Leonard said, handing two files to Maxwell from the side.

agreements.
He frowned a little and looked at Leonard in confusion.
“We the Humphrey family couldn’t do something as shameless as what Steph did.”
Leonard said, “She stayed by your side for seven years, went through thick and thin with you, so these things were supposed to be hers.”
“Grandpa!” Maxwell realized his tone wasn’t good. He tried to calm down and said, “You can’t give it to her.”
“Shameless!” Leonard hit Maxwell with his cane again.
But Maxwell still didn’t agree.
He did a lot of things that hurt her, and her pain, her tears, kept replaying in his mind.
All this kept him tossing and turning, and made him miserable.
He knew she hated him.
Hated his betrayal, hated how he hurt her.
