Chapter 316
“So, what's your next move? | already know your plan-my brother filledin.”
Max had just cfrom the other side of the estate, and naturally ran into Ethan. He didn’t mind that Ethan had
taken it upon himself to tell Alessia everything; sooner or later, she’d have found out.
The kid wasn't exactly clueless either. Max suspected that the last tshe'd bumped into the three of them at
the restaurant, she’d already pieced most of it together.
“I'm going to acquire Tate Holdings. After that, there'll be no more Tate Holdings. As for the two of them, I'll make
sure they're taken care of for the rest of their lives. If they want to travel, or settle down somewhere, that’s up to
them.”
He'd been planning this since the day he left the country. Together with Bacchus Linden, he'd started a company.
Thanks to a bit of luck and Bacchus’s connections, their business had grown rapidly. Just before returning home,
they shifted the company’s focus back to their own country.
He'd played his part in Tate Holdings’ downfall. His plan was simple: hollow out the company from within, then
have his own business absorb all of Tate Holdings’ assets. That way, the real power would finally rest in his
hands.
When the merger was complete, he'd finally be free of the chains the Tate family had locked around him. Their
lives would no longer be manipulated like chess pieces, forced into place with no room for resistance.
He glanced at Alessia. Pity, really. The lucky little fox had managed to break away, leaving them all behind and
walking off without a care in the world.
“What about York?”
“I'm not leaving!” The second York heard his name, he clung to Alessia’s jacket, eyeing Max warily.

Max smirked. “The Tate family sure breeds their share of little rebels, don’t they?”
York didn’t argue. He just pressed himself against Alessia like a cub guarding its food, eyes never leaving Max, as
if he'd be whisked away overseas the moment he
blinked,
“If you want to stay, then stay.” Max looked at the wall in front of him. From the side, he resembled Yvonne
somewhat-not in a feminine way, but with a certain steely determination.

“What?” York looked stunned, as if he’d misheard.
“Or do you want to leave after all?”
“No, I'm staying! I'm definitely staying!” In his childish excitement, York let go of Alessia and latched onto Max's
arm, eyes shining as he stared up at him.
“Are you serious, bro? | can really stay?”
“Now you remember to call‘bro, huh?” Max replied, poker-faced, and flicked York's forehead.
York yelped, but since he needed to stay on Max's good side, he just forced a grin and kept quiet, not daring to
complain.
Alessia chuckled at his antics and ruffled his hair.
“Let's just keep him around. Might be fun,” she said lightly. Whether Max truly found it amusing, only he would
know.
Everything else went smoothly.
