Chapter 987
With the current situation, James was unsure of what to do.
After sobbing for a while, Maxine calmed down. She wore a perplexed expression as she sat pensively.
“What are you thinking about?” Seeing that she was in deep thought, James’ curiosity was piqued.
“It's kind of weird,” Maxine murmured.
“Huh?” James was puzzled.
Maxine said softly, “Grandpa knew that Madelyn would appear in Mount White. At first, he asked me not to interfere because he knew that she wouldn't kill you. He knew your life would not be in danger, but eventually, he allowed me to come to look for you.”
James looked at Maxine and asked, “What's weird about that? Didn’t you say he asked you to bring me the martial art manuals?”
“I'm afraid that was just an excuse.” Maxine sighed.
She knew Tobias very well.
Although he had no intention of fighting for hegemony, he was meticulous. He would always think through things thoroughly. She explained, “Grandpa knows about Madelyn being Mr. Gabriel's disciple and also about the current situation. Madelyn knows that the Cadens and the Blithes are planning a marriage. Weirdly, Grandpa allowed outsiders to find out about the marriage even though he knew that the other families and forces would do everything to stop it.
“The key to stopping the marriage is me. The Blithes seldom move around, and they have strong traditional principles. As long as the others ruin my reputation, this marriage will be over.
“It's impossible that Grandpa didn’t think of these things. So, why did he allow me to come?”
Maxine could not figure it out. Meanwhile, James was even more confused. The two sat silently around the fire.
