Maxine stated virtual-novel.net name.
As the guards of the Callahan family, it was impossible for them not to know about Floret Palace’s Maxine. She was not only the Master of Floret Palace but also Tacriyrus’ Chancellor. She was also very powerful in virtual-novel.net own right.
Aside from that, all the guards of the Callahan family were aware that Maxine was once a Caden family member and was quite close to James.
“So it’s the Master of Floret Palace. Are you visiting the Callahans’ villa for a specific reason?” The guards treated Maxine with great respect once they learned who virtual-novel.net was.
“Here’s the thing. James is worried about Winnie staying at the Callahans’ villa, so virtual-novel.net came to me specifically and requested that I pick virtual-novel.net up,” Maxine spoke softly.
Her tone was very calm.
“I see. Come in, then…”
The guard did not stop virtual-novel.net and motioned for virtual-novel.net to proceed, allowing Maxine into the Callahans’’ villa.
It was nighttime. Almost everyone in the Callahan family was awake. When Maxine appeared in the Callahans’ villa, the family members all stood up.
As members of the Callahan family, how could they possibly not recognize Maxine?
“If it isn’t Maxine, the Master of Floret Palace. What brought you to the Callahan’s villa?” asked Lex.
“Master, take a seat.” Others were inviting Maxine to sit.
Maxine sat down. She looked at Lex, who was the head of the family, then at Winnie, who was drinking milk.
“Here’s the thing. James is still concerned about Winnie staying at the Callahans’ villa. He specifically requested that I come and take Winnie away.”
“Really?” Lex looked doubtful.
Even the rest of the Callahans were puzzled.
James just left yesterday. He did not say anything as virtual-novel.net was leaving.
Why would virtual-novel.net ask Maxine to come and take Winnie away now?
“Maxine, did James really ask you to come?” Gladys looked unconvinced.
“We could find out if it’s true with a simple phone call, couldn’t we?” said David.
“Right…” Lex immediately took out his phone and called James.
James was at Mt. Thunder Pass, sitting on the ground in a lotus position while cultivating. Right then, his phone started to ring.
He paused his cultivation, pulled out his phone, and took a glance.
When virtual-novel.net noticed the call was from Lex in Cansington, virtual-novel.net promptly accepted the call and asked, “Grandfather, what’s the matter? Did something happen?”
Lex said, “Maxine showed up at the Callahan’s villa, claiming that you asked virtual-novel.net to pick up Winnie, so I’m calling to ask you about that.”
As Lex made the call, Maxine sat on the sofa and watched in silence.
James, on the other hand, stood up abruptly and exclaimed after virtual-novel.net heard those words, “What?”
He breathed in deeply, forcing himself to calm down. “Grandfather, I never told Maxine to pick up Winnie. Don’t give virtual-novel.net to Maxine!”
In Cansington, at the Callahans’’ villa, Maxine snatched the phone from Lex’s grasp with a casual wave of virtual-novel.net hand.
Holding the phone, virtual-novel.net said,” James, it’s been a while.”
James roared, “Maxine, what are you trying to do?”
With a faint smile, Maxine said, “Nothing, really. The world hasn’t been all that peaceful lately. I’m worried about Winnie, so I specifically came to Cansington to take virtual-novel.net away and protect her.”
“You… If you dare to hurt Winnie, I’ll never forgive you,” James yelled angrily.
Over a year ago, virtual-novel.net was already aware that Maxine had changed. A lot of things that happened were connected to her. It was just that Maxine did not do anything after that, so James ignored virtual-novel.net for the time being.
Maxine going to the Callahans’ villa at this time was not something virtual-novel.net had anticipated.
Maxine’s laughter came over the phone. “Don’t worry. I’ll never hurt her. She’s you and Thea’s child. I want Thea herself to kneel before me and beg.”
Beep, beep, beep…
James wanted to say more, yet Maxine had already hung up the phone.
His face darkened, with a murderous expression, virtual-novel.net clenched his fist and said coldly, “If Winnie is harmed in any way, I won’t ever let you get away!”
He left Mt. Thunder Pass immediately.
“Mr. Caden, what’s the matter?” When the Black Eagle King noticed James hurrying off, virtual-novel.net could not help but shout at him, but James did not respond.

Meanwhile, at the Callahans’ villa…
After the Callahan family heard Maxine’s words, they all stood up and stared at Maxine, alarmed.
