Chapter 175

• Maximilien's face turned so pale that it could perfectly be mistaken for a sheet of paper, his eyes reddened and moistened, and in front of his friends' astonished looks, he turned his back on them. He couldn't bear their scrutiny and didn't want to see their disapproving or disappointed faces, that would only make him feel worse.

• The magnate remained silent for several minutes, the words couldn't come out of his mouth. This situation was destroying him and guilt was consuming him completely. The weight on his shoulders was already too heavy and tears began to well up in his eyes. He took a deep breath to calm himself, but he couldn't find peace. He didn't know how to face this situation because he had simply never been through something like this before.
