NovelEnglishChapter 0030 Catherine stormed off, determined to catch up with Mary. She couldn't believe Maximus was willing to defy her this time. Meanwhile, Maximus stayed seated at the table, thinking his grandmother wouldn't actually take any action regarding Mary. But if she did maybe it would be a relief-his house would finally return to normal. 'Grandma, you askedto pay the bill, yet you didn't even order anything to eat,' he thought, a mocking smile crossing his face.
As Catherine made her way toward Mary, she pulled out her phone and called Peter.

"You silly boy! Is that how you greet your grandmother?" "Oops, sorry! Hi, gorgeous grandma!" "That's better!" "Alright, now what favor do you need?" "Oh, yes! I need a place to stay." "Grandma, I'd love to host you, but my place might not be up to your standards. Plus, there's always a party going on here. If you don't mind the noise, I've got no problem." "Peter, it's not for me. But you know what? That's what I love about you! You never say no to your grandma." "Do I even have a choice? Haha, just kidding! You're always welcat my place, whenever you want and for however long you need." "My dear Peter, I'd love to ctake care of you. You're too skinny! You need a mother's touch. But unfortunately, this favor isn't for me." "Oh? Who's it for then?" Peter asked, intrigued.
"It's for a beautiful young lady i my care. Can you believe she was staying with Maximus, but he's askedto take her out of his house?" "Grandma, what's that all about?" Peter rolled his eyes.
"Well, we had an argument over Alexia. He tried to use her as leverage, wantingto fire that woman from the company in exchange for letting Lupita stay with him." "And obviously, you didn't accept, or you wouldn't be askingfor help," Peter said, resigned.
"Exactly! I find it disgraceful to use this girl to makechange my mind.” "So, I guess I don't have much of a choice?" Peter asked, now more intrigued.

At Maximus's house, she's been cooped up unless she's withor Emma. You know your brother-he'd never take her out. I hate that she's always locked inside. You could helpget spapers for her to have a new identity." "That's it? Really? You don't needto get rid of a body this time?" he asked sarcastically.
"Peter Palmer! When have I ever asked you to do that? "Oh, Grandma, you just sounded like you were going to askthat! What you're asking is easy. I'm in Valeria right now, but I need to head back htoday. So, if you wantto take her, it has to be today. Tomorrow would be tricky because I have smeetings."
