Chapter 195
At the same time, Brendan remembered Maximus’s boldness in being considerate to Naomi in front of Heather. He even shared that he wanted to have a wife like Naomi. This put him in a bad mood.
When he was out, he spotted the Passiot that represented Maximus himself. He stepped on the accelerator without holding himself back.
In the Passiot, Ryan turned to look at Maximus after their car was hit. Ryan asked, “Are you alright, Mr. Martin?”
Maximus straightened out his clothes. He answered calmly, “I’m fine. Go and find out what’s going on,”
Ryan exited the car and saw a black Maybach had stopped behind them. He walked directly toward the
car
“Sir, you rear–ended us?”
Brendan lowered the car window from inside the car. He looked at Ryan coldly. “You’re not qualified enough to speak to me. Get Maximus here.”
Ryan’s face dropped the moment he saw that the driver was Brendan. It was such tough luck that they bumped into this devil incarnate so early in the morning. He even rear–ended them.
Needless to say, he had certainly hit them on purpose.
Back in the Passiot, Maximus noticed that Ryan suddenly looked upset. He took a peek at the Maybach’s car plate number through the rearview mirror.
Realizing it was Brendan’s vehicle, he opened the door and stepped out of the car.
Seeing that Maximus had stepped out of his car, Brendan opened his door and did the same.
They both had an overbearing presence around them as they approached one another.
Maximus and Brendan stopped once they were at the back and front of their respective cars. Brendan had his hands in his pockets. He cast an icy look at Maximus’s dented car.
“Do you not have eyes? Your car was in my way!”
Maximus caught a glimpse of the look in Brendan’s eyes. He couldn’t help but chuckle, “We’re mature adults, Brendan. You don’t have to be so childish.”
At this point, Maximus had figured out that Heather had probably overplayed the significance of the meal that he treated Naomi to yesterday.
He just hadn’t expected Brendan to overreact like this. He even had the guts to crash into his car.
With his hands still in his pockets, Brendan casually took two steps forward. “It’s because I’m a mature adult. That’s why I’ve stopped hitting your car.”
Maximus frowned. Brendan was implying that he would have crushed Maximus along with his car if he

was being immature.
But, it was a fact that he was in his car earlier. In a way, Brendan did slam into his car with him in it.

Brendan was still the same as usual–domineering and unreasonable. No one else was allowed to even glance at anything that he had his eyes on.
The important thing was that he already had her. He should be cherishing her!
Maximus stared at Brendan for a while. With a smile, he explained, “We grew up together, Brendan. We

What Maximus meant was that Naomi wasn’t just Brendan’s wife. She also had her own life and circle of
friends.
Since Brendan had already married her, he should treat her better. Otherwise, she might end up being somebody else’s wife in the future.
Brendan smiled in response to Maximus’s reminder. He said, “Thanks for your concern, Mr. Martin.”
Then, he leaned forward a little and whispered, “You’re capable of getting to where you are today, but I am also capable of dragging you down. Know your limits, Maximus.”
Maximus smiled even wider after he heard Brendan’s threat. “I’m glad you think of Naomi as someone so important. That puts me very much at ease.”
Brendan pulled his right hand out of his pocket. He smoothed out Maximus‘ clothes, then leaned back.
once again.
Upon seeing that, Ryan looked at the car and asked, “So, Mr. Martin, now…”
Maximus interrupted, “Ask Mr. Xander to come over and get the car. There’s no need to make this a big
deal.”
Maximus was a well known man. If people were to find out that he was rear–ended, they would certainly cause a storm and circulate rumors about him. Hence, it was best to keep a low profile on things.
After hearing that, Brendan grinned and said, “I’ll send a brand new car to you this afternoon.”
Ryan thought that this devil incarnate was way too cocky.
