Chapter 2049
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 2049-âThese soâcalled pieces of evidence might be enough to nail an ordinary suspect, but to take down your brother and Lannister? Iâm afraid itâs still far from enough,â Emmanuel said with a slight smirk, holding up the phone.
âIf I planned to rely on the police and the law to take down Maxwell, Iâd have died a hundred times by now. I would never be able to defeat him in this lifetime,â Magnus replied with a disdainful smile. âCops need solid evidence to make a case, but you donât, do you?â âYouâre right. I believe Maxwell was behind this,â Emmanuel nodded. âSo, whatâs your angle? You want to use me to kill Maxwell?â Magnus chuckled. âWhen dealing with someone as sharp as you, thereâs no point in pretending, nor could I even if I tried. Itâs better to be upfront. Taking might time, Hight Place out Maxwell benefits you, too, doesnât it?â âWhat makes you say that?â Emmanuel asked, straight to the point. âMaxwell yied to kill my apprentice. Neither I nor the Chapman family will let that slide, but taking down Maxwell would bring a mountain of trouble from the Zelinsky family,â âWith my help, you wonât have any trouble at all,â Magnus said confidently. âAll I need is your strength.â âYou hate Maxwell that much? From what I know of the Zelinsky familyâs history, even if he dies, you might not end up in control of the family,â Emmanuel pointed out.
âThe grudge I have against Maxwell is one that can never be forgiven,â Right Time, Right Place Magnusâ smile vanished, replaced by a cold, vicious look in his eyes. âThere were four male heirs in the Zelinsky family, but now only Maxwell and I remain. My mother had a strained relationship with the family, and we were olated. After she left, it was just Hattie and me stuck in that house. If it werenât for our quick thinking and a bit of luck, Maxwell would have killed us long ago, âThat man hides behind a sheepâs smile but is more vicious than any wolf.
Look here!â Magnus said, lifting his shirt to reveal a gruesome scar.
âMaxwell once tried to kill me the same way he went after Nathan. I was just eleven, fresh out of elementary school, and he set up a ârunaway tigerâ from the zoo near my campsite, nearly getting me killed. I wonât even start on the other incidents. Hattieâs suffered at his hands, too, as well as from other members of the family.
Right Time, Right Place âIf I hadnât intentionally drawn attention to myself and made waves among Zovinceâs elite, I might have quietly disappeared as well. Because of my background, defeating Maxwell openly within the family is impossible. But Iâll ever let someone like him keep getting away with everything heâs done.â Magnusâ candid words struck a chord with Emmanuel, who wasnât used to hearing such heartfelt confessions from him. Still, it wasnât a bad feeling.
âFine. You set it up. I trust your ability to predict the right time and place to take down Maxwell,â Emmanuel agreed. âBut if itâs not the right moment, I wonât act.â âThank you,â Magnus replied calmly, expressing his gratitude without any excess emotion before driving away. For him, other than lacking physical strength, everything else was childâs play.
