Chapter 220: Who can understand his hardship

He just blurts out without thinking through his brain. At this moment, Maxx subconsciously realizes it is
very inappropriate. Thus, he wants to continue to cover it up, but it is too late.

His face is flushed red, he does not know whether it is because of his anxiousness or his anger.
Perhaps, it is because the shady little secret in his heart, “Rex, I… I’m really sorry!”

All the words turn out into this word “sorry” at his mouth. Apart from sorry, he does not know what else
he could say. He is even guiltier when thinking of Marina’s current condition.

Everything is because of him. If he was not that self-opinionated, maybe everything will not be like this.

“How’s Marina’s condition now. It is my fault that she is in this state, I have an inescapable
responsibility, Please tell me…”

Rex looks at the man who is standing in front of him. He has hired Maxx for so many years and has
never seen him look like this before. This man, who has a strong heart, unexpectedly reddens his eyes
at this moment.

Rex’s hands on his side tighten a bit. He asks him in a restrained manner, “When did you have feelings
for her?”

Maxx knows that he has already figured out the general picture of what happened. Thus, he no longer
makes any quibble, “Since Marina returned to the country, at the airport when I first met her, I’ve begun
to pay attention to her. Then you let me guard here and Marina gave me a lot of warmth and care. Her
body is weak and I subconsciously wanted to take care of her. In the course of time, I can’t control my
feelings.”

Speaking of which, Maxx recalls and even feels happy. At least he has made efforts before. However,
he soon adds, “I won’t blame Marina, this is all my fault, it’s me… I was longing for someone that I am



not qualified to woo for.”

He improperly belittles himself, which makes Rex frown deeper. If Maxx has talked about this with him
before, he would definitely not block him, he might even encourage him to pursue his own happiness.
However, everything has developed to the point where it is today. He deliberately concealed something
before, plus some things he did when he did not know, he loses trust in Maxx.

Even though he appreciates him, it is impossible to use him in the future. The most important thing
between a boss and his subordinates is sincerity and trust. He has betrayed his trust.

Rex he is a person who bounds to differentiate between public and private. Hearing to this point, he
does not want to hear his explanation further. However, his eyes are filled with unsettled
disappointment, “Maxx, you’ve been working for me for so many years, so I will be mercy to you. You
did this wrong and have violated the bottom line. I will give you a sum of money and the lawyer will
send you the terminate contract.”

Maxx’s body freezes. It is not because of him losing the job or because of the money. But it is
reluctance and shock coming from the bottom of his heart.

Rex has once rescued him from his untold miseries. At that time, he has already made decisions to
devote his life to him. However, little did he expect that their relationship would come to an end this
soon.

However, even if he is unwilling, he does not have a standpoint to say something. It was all because of
his negligence; he has no room to justify himself.

In facing his old subordinates, Rex will certainly be soft-hearted. He does not want to see this upset
Maxx anymore. When he turns and wants to leave, he is called by Maxx, followed by a bang sound
behind him. The man directly kneels on the ground!



“Rex! Before leaving, I only have one last request…” Maxx clenches his hands, his arms are shaking
with great strength, “Can you allow me to meet Marina, it is my fault that she had an accident, I feel
uneasy…”

“No.” Rex refuses decisively, “She has nothing to do with you, whether she is good or bad.”

This sentence seems to be merciless. But in fact, it is also to console Maxx. On the one hand, he wants
him to break this though earlier, while on the other hand, he does not want him to excoriate himself.

No one can stop the accident.

However, man-made things can be avoided. Maxx is guilty of negligence, but drowning is not
something he can control.

After receiving such a reply, the only light in Maxx's eyes dim. He knows that it will be more difficult to
want Marina after being ‘dismissed’ this time. There will even no more chance to contact her in this life.

This recognition makes Maxx’s whole person sorrow. His heart seems to be simmering on a hotpot,
which makes him anxious and upset. So he says things that he wants to say, “Rex, I know I shouldn’t
have said this, I’m not qualified and having no standpoint, but during the time of getting alone with
Marina, I can see that she likes you very much, it’s… a sincere love.”

Rex listens to it and his face suddenly sinks, he then turns to face him, “What do you want to say.”

Maxx still kneels down on the ground, his hands clench tightly, his arms bent down stiffly, his forehead
is swollen with blue veins, “I don’t know whether you understand it or not, but Marina is not treating you
as her brother. I hope you can face up this feeling, treat her better, care more about her, and take care
of her. If you can’t accept it, please cut off her illusion as soon as possible, don’t let her fall deeper and
deeper.”



There are only two people in the Villa. Maxx’s response can be clearly heard in the ginormous living
room. This speech is not completed yet, Rex does not rush to speak, but stares at him for a long time.

After a while, he chuckles softly, but it’s just that there is no warmth in the laughter. “You think I’m
procrastinating? What do you know that make you dare to have such a conclusion?”

His words are really harsh, it is another kind of emotional catharsis. It is not difficult for Maxx to sense
the anger of the man in front of him.

Rex walks in front of him and crouches down to stare at him. The terrifying aura makes Maxx difficult to
look directly into his eyes, “You think I didn’t know? Didn’t want to refuse? Her physical condition is
bad. If I said it and she has an accident, can you afford it? Maxx, you’ve been with me for so long. I
originally thought you understand me, but I didn’t expect you to think of me like this.”

There is disappointment in these cruel words.

Maxx freezes and completely forgets to response.

“I’ve someone I love, someone whom I want to live with for my lifetime. Do you think I’m better in this
situation? Is there any man who wants his beloved woman feels aggrieved? My current difficulties are
all because of responsibilities, what do you know!” Rex could not help but lost his emotions. The deep-
set eyes are condensing with a faint scarlet.

Perhaps, it is because of his emotions is approaching the edge of the collapse, he could not hold
himself up. Lily didn’t understand him, while Karl occasionally persuaded him. Now, even Maxx
criticizes him. The most beautiful things in the world are difficult to achieve. He never expects too
much, but he cannot even get the most basic one.

Who can understand his hardship and unwillingness?
