The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 968

"Alright." Stephanie nodded indifferently. She called one of the friends who was sitting in Max’s car.

"Hey, Max said that you had an accident, right? How are you guys? Is everyone okay? Mrs. Lewis is very worried!" 5

The man cleared his throat and stuttered awkwardly," Um... Max ran into a Phae..." 6

Before he could finish, Max snatched the phone off the man's hand and blurted, "Stephanie, I'm fine, we crashed into a Passat. I'm negotiating with the driver now to resolve the problem. Don’t worry, we’re almost done here, I'll be there soon." i

Stephanie said flatly, "Okay then, we'll wait for you at the hotel entrance. We've been here for a long time." 1

Max quickly said, "Ah, I'm so sorry for the delay.

Please tell Charlie that I'm sorry for not being able to complete the race, we'll race again in a few days!"

Stephanie mumbled a reluctant 'Okay' and ended the call.

The man who had received Stephanie's call asked," Max, are you still going to the reunion after what happened?"

"Of course!" Max blurted, "I came up with the plan to treat Mrs. Lewis for dinner tonight, how could I be

absent?" 6

In truth, inside Max's head, he was brewing a plan on how to get more money to cover the one million dollar shortfall. 4

He could earn at least half of the price difference from this meal. He could simply order more dishes or opt for the more expensive menu to increase the amount o f the bill to forty or fifty grand, then, he could earn twenty grand from it! He could figure out the rest of the money later! 5

He turned to his friends and warned them, "Hey, don’t tell anyone about what just happened, do you hear m e?"

He dared not drive the car to the entrance, but parked i n a secluded place in the parking lot and then walked over with others.

At this moment, Charlie and the rest were waiting at the entrance. 6

Everyone started approaching Max as they came over and asked about the accident. 6

Although extremely upset, Max waved his hands, pretending to be indifferent, and said, "Everything's fine, it's just a minor crash, the insurance will cover the cost."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Charlie looked at Max in amusement and asked with a coy smile, "Max, the accident is so coincidental, don't you think? It's just 2 to 3 kilometers away from here, w e could have decided the winner very soon, how did the accident happen at such perfect timing?"
