Grandma Rachel stood up and tried to speak, but Xylander silenced her with a simple raise of his palm.
"I wanted us to just eat before I left for business today. But Maxine just proved there's a greater need—I must purge this house of demons like her." Xylander pronounced firmly, unflinching, making Rachel tremble.
He wouldn't!! That was his sister. Why would he call his own sister a demon? Surely, he wouldn't go further than this.
But predicting Xylander had always been a hopeless task. It was better to shut up than keep trying. Maxine, on the other hand, didn't need anyone to tell her that her end had come.
Boldly insulting her brother's groom? How stupid.
"I thought Daniel was just being sexily nasty when he said Maxine's brain was rusted. But he was dead right—imagine behaving like a deranged animal in front of your family."
Consumed with shame, Maxine stood shakily to her feet, moving slowly and painfully because of the bleeding nose Alex had mercilessly given her.
