Maxwell couldn't help but laugh. "It's really strange. It was clearly me who saved Abigail yesterday, but how come it was Jaxon's credit?"
"Did you save her?" Sophia was stunned for a moment, her expression even more disdainful. "Do you think we are fools? Where did you go last night? Why didn't you see anyone all night? If you saved her, why didn't you come back with Abigail together?"
"Maxwell!" Peter said with a serious face, "The old man went to Master Quinn's place to recuperate. When he comes back, I must tell him to see what kind of character of his grandson-in-law he has chosen."
Jaxon suddenly laughed and said, "Uncle and aunt, please don't make it too difficult for Maxwell. I understand Maxwell. He is new here and needs credit to establish himself. Well, just go back and tell Grandpa Jerome that it was Maxwell who saved Abigail."
"Maxwell, look at it! Look at it! Look at Jaxon's magnanimity!" Sophia looked at Jaxon with stars in her eyes, "Mr. Wade, why do you need to help this shameless villain? Don't worry, this is your credit. No one can take it away!"
Peter echoed, "There is no comparison between people and people! It was obviously Mr. Wade who saved Abigail, but you still dare to claim the credit! You can be incompetent, but you can't be shameless! Abigail! Tell me. Who saved you?"
Although Abigail woke up, she was still drunk and her head was foggy. She frowned and thought carefully. "Someone did save me yesterday."
"Yes! It was Mr. Wade who saved you! Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!"
"Mr. Wade? Jaxon..."Abigail rubbed her temples. "Did you save me? Thank you."
"Did you hear that?" Sophia pointed at Maxwell. "Did you hear what Abigail said? What else do you have to say."
Looking at Abigail's condition, Maxwell estimated that her brain was still in a mess, so he said, "After I rescued Abigail yesterday, it was Avery who sent her back. Avery knew everything about yesterday! Just ask her!"
"Ha!" Jaxon smiled. "How about I tell my cousin later that she will tell others that it was you, Maxwell, who saved Abigail."
"Mr. Wade, you don't have to be like this!" Peter said, "I will tell my father the truth about this matter so that he can know Maxwell's true face earlier!"
"Yes, Mr. Wade!" Sophia agreed. "Don't take care of this shameless country bumpkin!"
Listening to the conversation between several people, Abigail couldn't help but turn her head and look at Maxwell, her eyes full of contempt. He was such a shameless villain? Yes! Just a scumbag who went to the bar to find an affair! What kind of character could we talk about?
"By the way, Abigail..." Jaxon said, "You didn't need to drink so much yesterday. I can help you with the loan! Our family has always been very happy to cooperate with Skyward Bank. Justin also respects my family. I will ask my dad and Justin to take care of me later and release your money!"
Abigail nodded. "Thank you. By the way, I think Justin's head was broken by a wine bottle, and he bled a lot."
Hiss…
Peter took a breath of cold air. That was Justin, the president of Skyward Bank! Not only was it supported by a big family, but it was also closely related to the center of power in Delington! He didn't expect that Abigail would dare to hit Justin. This would be troublesome!
Jaxon's expression also became embarrassed, but he still forced a smile. "It's okay, it's okay, my dad has a relationship with Justin, just talk to him."
Peter and Sophia both looked pleased.
"The Wade family and our family are the right ones!"
"Jaxon is such a good kid."
…
Looking at this family, Maxwell shook his head disdainfully.
This action happened to be seen by Peter, who said angrily, "Maxwell, what else do you have to say? Do you think you can do one ten-thousandth of what Mr. Wade does?"
"It's just funny! It's up to you to believe whoever you want."
"What's your attitude?" Sophia was angry.
"Don't think that because the old man supports you, you are destined to be the son-in-law of my Jerome family."
"Abigail's father and I will never recognize this marriage!"
…
At this time, the doorbell rang, and Avery came carrying bags.
"Hello uncle, hello aunt!"
"Cousin? You came here first!"
"Abigail! Are you awake? Do you feel better?"
After greeting each other one by one, Avery saw Maxwell but ignored him. She walked past him and came to Abigail's side, holding her hand and saying, "You really drank too much yesterday!"
Abigail smiled bitterly. "I have forgotten what happened yesterday. By the way... was it your cousin who saved me yesterday?"
Before Avery could answer, Sophia said loudly, "Maxwell! Listen carefully! Didn't you say that Avery and Abigail came back together? Then let Avery tell you who saved her! You always try to take credit.”
Maxwell's expression was indifferent. Peter and Sophia were really stupid. Saying another word to them would be a waste of life.
However, it was interesting to see Jaxon's face after Avery told the truth.
Avery looked at Maxwell, then at Jaxon, and then asked Abigail, "Do you really not remember?"
Abigail rubbed her forehead. "I drank so much, I can't remember anything. My head still hurts now."
"Alas..." Avery said with lingering fear. "Justin really went too far yesterday! I thought something was going to happen, so I quickly called my cousin to help! He rushed in and had a conflict with Justin's people. Fortunately, he practiced Taekwondo and rescued us safely!"
Maxwell narrowed his eyes, this woman was useless!
Yes! They were cousins, so of course they had to wear the same pair of pants!
After Avery finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Maxwell. Sophia looked sarcastic. "Maxwell, the truth has been revealed. Do you still want to deny it? Do you still want to claim credit?"
Abigail's expression was cold, and she sighed secretly, even more disgusted with Maxwell.
Jaxon suddenly laughed. "Don't make things difficult for Maxwell. I understand that he is eager to make contributions! In fact, he also wants to establish himself in the Jerome family as soon as possible..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Maxwell said calmly, "You know exactly what happened! It's not your turn to speak about my affairs!"
After saying that, he shrugged, turned, and went upstairs.
"I'm so angry!" Peter couldn't help but slap the coffee table. "Why...how did the old man like him?"
Jaxon quickly advised, "Uncle, calm down, Grandpa Jerome is old after all!"
"Peter, don't get so angry. It's not worth it for such a thing." Sophia looked at Jaxon.
Jaxon was the perfect match for his daughter!
The Wade family and the Jerome family were the right match!
Jaxon was a kid who had good looks, and good character and was a graduate of a prestigious foreign school. How could that country bumpkin compare?
We must convince the old man as soon as possible to let Abigail and Jaxon get together!
…
Maxwell answered a phone call upstairs. It was from Nora, telling him that Chief Harrison was hosting a banquet to invite him and that Miles would also attend, so he must arrive on time. Maxwell didn't want to stay at Jerome Family any longer, so he hung up the phone and decided to leave.
Passing by the bathroom door, Maxwell happened to face Avery. He couldn't help but snort. "Avery, be honest!"
