Maxwell went upstairs and went directly to his study.
At this moment, although the study was not in a mess, the opened bookshelf revealed what had happened here not long ago.
He clenched his fists tightly, walked all the way to the small path slowly, and went to the basement.
He asked someone to build the basement secretly after he became the master of the Bai family. Although he had mastered the power back then, some people in the Bai family cast greedy eyes on his status. He had been a gangster for many years and knew how to protect himself. If someone wanted to make trouble for him, he could escape from here easily.
Later, his status became stable, so there was no need for him to use the basement.
Three years ago, he did not imprison Marrlin here. After Adele jumped into the river, he saw the hatred in Isaac's eyes clearly. But at that time, there were some problems in Bai Company. He wanted to control Isaac and ensure that Bai Company could develop steadily, so he must make good use of Marrlin.
He was not afraid that Issac would go against him since he could threat Issac with her. At that time, he brought Marrlin here secretly.
Marrlin was a living person, and she was in poor heath. Since he wanted Isaac to be obedient, Marrlin couldn't die. If he locked Marrlin somewhere else, Issac would definitely find her. But if he kept Marrlin by his side, no one would know this and he could keep an eye on Marrlin at any time.
As for what Madelyn had said...
In fact, he didn't mean to disgust her at all. He didn't like Marrlin and even regretted what he had done so much. He had enough of the days when he was looked down upon. However... he got drunk and gave himself an indelible stain.
Marrlin was just a nanny and couldn't help him with anything. How could he like her?
Pushing open the door of the room where Marrlin used to live, he found that everything was there, but Marrlin had left.
To be honest, he didn't care where she was and whether she was alive or not, but he felt very annoyed at the moment. Issac had offended him so openly. How could he endure it?
Back then, he took so much effort to get Bai Company, but the company was about to go bankrupt. What would he have if Bai Company was ruined? Moreover, even Marrlin had been saved...
He couldn't use Marrlin to threaten Isaac anymore, and his family was about to be ruined. Although Lucho did not say much, how could he not see the dissatisfaction in his eyes?
Although he married Madelyn because she could help him with his career and he didn't love her so much, they had been husband and wife for decades. Moreover, she had a lot of complaints against him...
Humph! He was always cunning and was good at controlling others, but he didn't expect that he would be tricked like this when he was old!
Thinking of this, he suddenly sneered, but his eyes were full of fury and maliciousness.
"Isaac!" He growled slowly, and his voice was extremely cold. After a while, he looked at the empty bed and laughed indifferently again.
In the end, he turned around, went back to the study and pressed the button to close the bookcase habitually.
"Master, you're so powerful!" The green parrot said flatteringly and jumped in the cage.
Maxwell paused for a moment. He had intended to sit down, but he immediately turned around and walked towards the birdcage.
He stood in front of the cage and stared at the green parrot for a long time. Then he asked it with a chuckle, "Powerful?"
The green parrot nodded, "You're so powerful!"
Maxwell suddenly stopped smiling and his face darkened, "Have you ever seen such a powerful person like me now?" He fed it with some food, "My company is about to go bankrupt. I risked my life to get it. Do you know what it means if I really lose my

The green parrot tilted its head, "Idiot! Lose!"
Maxwell narrowed his eyes and his hand trembled. Then, he put the food in the cage as if he didn't hear anything.
Looking at the parrot eating happily with its head down, he said gloomily, "If Bai Company really goes bankrupt, I will lose everything. Do you know what it means? It means that I have done everything in vain. I've been busy for a lifetime, but I get nothing in the end."
"Congratulations!" Said the parrot in a clear voice.
