Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride Chapter 152
I was shocked to hear this news. Max and Professor Xander had an affair in her office?I stared at Max, wide-eyed and unable to comprehend such a scandalous revelation. Professor Xander was Max's PhD advisor and a respected professor in the finance department at Johnsonville University. She was a widow, over twenty years older than Max.I often visited Max in the finance department while we were together, and I had met Professor Xander a few times. My father knew her as well and would occasionally attend meetings with her. She always struck me as a reserved and unassuming woman, always dressed modestly, with neatly trimmed hair and black-framed glasses. I even attended a couple of her public lectures when I was minoring in finance. She appeared dedicated, traditional, and conservative in her approach to academics.The idea of her having an affair with Max was beyond my comprehension. How could this be possible?Max sneered, "Jen, there's no need to be so shocked. By now, you should

Once my father exposed Max's affair with Professor Xander, it not only jeopardized his chances of graduating, but also subjected his admission to the PhD program to re-examination. Even if he had been initially accepted based on his own merits, the scandal would cast doubt on his entire academic career.Simultaneously, Professor Xander would face dismissal for abusing her position, which would be a major disgrace for Johnsonville University.It's no surprise that shortly after, Max graduated with his PhD and Professor Xander resigned. No one knew where she went.Internally, I was shocked by Max's despicable actions, far worse than anything I had imagined. He was a completely different person from the bright, optimistic boy I once knew. It was as if he had become a stranger, someone utterly repugnant.I sneered, "Have you confessed all of this to the police?""Yes, I have. But what difference does it make? My crimes have already been determined. Talking more won't change anything,"

Max is a smart person. A subtle suggestion was all it took for him to connect the dots. His face turned pale, and his eyes reflected a whirlwind of disbelief, sudden realization, and shock.The range of emotions in his eyes was truly captivating.In that moment, I felt a surge of satisfaction, as if justice was being served.Without warning, Max tightly gripped the bars, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted, "Jen, you're lying! You're lying to me! Cindy couldn't have just used me!"The guard swiftly intervened, pulling Max back and instructing him to sit down quietly. He warned that if Max didn't comply, the visit would be cut short."Max, please calm down. I came here to tell you the truth. After the trial, our paths will never cross again. So, for the sake of the seven years we spent together, even though you have wronged me, I wanted to give you the complete picture. We have been through so much, and you deserve to know the truth before it all comes to an end." I smiled faintly. "Co

"I'm not sure," Max said, his face pale. "When she came out of the shower, I asked her why she was buying medication from that website. She said her brother had mental issues, and the doctors in Winterland recommended this drug. She was just doing research to compare it with other medications.""She seemed really anxious, mentioning that long-term use of the drug could have side effects. An overdose could strain the heart, and anyone taking it shouldn't drive because it could cause sudden heart problems, leading to dangerous situations or accidents."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "So, you bought the drug from that website?"Max nodded. "Yes, I bought it and waited for the right opportunity. My original plan was to switch it with the vitamin pills, but I was afraid that if it was discovered, I would be directly implicated. I couldn't risk becoming a suspect. Then, the day you asked me to buy blood pressure medication for Aaron, I knew my chance had come."Thinking about it,

I had guessed correctly - Max did care about his mother, Annie, to some extent. But how could I show any mercy considering all the harm their family had caused me? Just because of his so-called filial piety?Ridiculous!However, I didn't want to kick a man when he was down. So, I simply said, "No.""Jen, it's my fault. I'm the one who gave the drugs to my mother and told her to put them in your food. She was just following my orders," Max tried to defend his mother.Before I could respond, he suddenly broke down in tears, covering his face with his hands. His sobs were heart-wrenching. "I know you hate me, and you hate my mother. We did wrong. I don't deserve your forgiveness, but my mother... she's suffering because of me."Max then looked up, his eyes red and swollen, a sight I had never seen before. "My family always favored boys over girls. My mother had three daughters before having me, and shortly after my birth, my father died in a coal mine explosion. My grandparents were

"I used to wonder why I was born into such a miserable family. Why could others afford school fees while I couldn't? When the teacher came to our house to ask for the fees, and the whole town watched, do you know what I was thinking, Jen? I thought, 'It's not worth going to school.' When I told my mother that, she slapped me and said she would sell her blood to make sure I could go to school. She cried and cursed, saying, 'Remember how people bully us, you have to grow up and trample those people under your feet! You have to make me proud, do you understand?'""Later, when I was in middle school, though it was compulsory education, we still needed to pay for textbooks. The school knew we were poor and applied for free textbooks for me. But do you know what that meant, Jen? The textbooks had a red stamp that said 'free textbook.' The school even sent someone to our house to take pictures of us, sitting in front of our broken house with those textbooks. They told me to smile. How could

I locked eyes with Max, feeling a profound sense of detachment between us."I'm sorry, Max," I began slowly, "your story about you and your mother is touching, and your family's struggles are undeniable, but that doesn't excuse the harm you've done to me. As adults, we need to take responsibility for our actions.""Jen, are you really this heartless?" Max's eyes flared with anger.I smiled faintly, "Max, I'm not claiming to be a saint. You can't manipulate me like this. However, considering our seven years together, I am willing to send some winter clothes to your mom. It gets pretty cold here in Johnsonville. But, that's all I can do. Anything more, I'm afraid I can't."Max's face stiffened.As I stood to leave, a thought struck me, and I turned back to him. "By the way, I'm looking into the surveillance footage and guest information from that night at the Waldorf Hotel. If you're willing to share what you know, I might be able to arrange more essential items for your mom."Max'

Max was utterly infuriated by my words. As I left, he screamed my name, grabbing the bars and yelling, "Jen! I'll kill you, you bitch! And Cindy too! I'll kill all of you!"I paused at the door and glanced back at Max. He looked like a crazed beast, thrashing wildly, his eyes bloodshot. His voice, tinged with desperation, cried out, "You ruined me! I'll kill every last one of you!"In that moment, I saw the true face of Max, a side I had never witnessed before. I shook my head and sighed. People like him, with such a pitiful yet hateful nature, are truly their own worst enemies. Leaving the visiting room, Max's wails faded into the distance. Outside, Luke and Taylor were waiting in the seating area, engrossed in a document. Taylor was speaking animatedly, while Luke listened intently, their heads close together. They look rather compatible.Hearing my footsteps, Luke looked up first and then stepped aside. His usual calm tone asked, "How did it go?"Taylor quickly put away the
