Chapter 98 Maxine set her phone down and turned to look at him . Sebastian said , " That guy doesn't have any history of mental illness , but he does have a record of drug use ." In other words , either he was high and Maxine just had the bad luck to run into him , or someone sent him after her on purpose . If it was the second scenario , Maxine caught on right away . 88 % 38 ) If Sebastian hadn't happened to show up today , that man's knife would've ended up in her . All he'd have to do was claim he was high or had some kind of drug - induced psychosis , and the court would go easy on him . He'd take the money from whoever was behind it and live out the rest of his life without a care . Maxine let out a cold laugh . " That's a pretty sweet deal for him , isn't it ? " Sebastian frowned , clearly not happy to hear her say that . " What exactly happened ? " Honestly , he didn't buy that it was just a coincidence . The cops checked his address . The man usually hung out in the suburbs , so no one knew why he drove all the way there that day . Even the car he was driving wasn't his. Nobody knew where he stole it from . The police have already opened a case . Maxine was silent for a moment before she finally said , " I've found new evidence on Gabriel . I have to get justice for Ivanna ." " Maxine !

If you want, I … " " This is my own business , " Maxine cut him off . " If Gabriel hired someone to kill me , that just proves I'm on the right track . I'm going to take him down myself ." " Do you even know what you're getting into with the Jenson family ? Gabriel isn't someone you can just mess with , " Sebastian shot back without thinking . Maxine's face was cold as she gripped her phone so tightly her knuckles turned white . She looked at him and sneered , " So I don't know ? But Kathleen does ? " Thinking about it , if Sebastian hadn't turned a blind eye back then , Kathleen wouldn't have dared destroy the evidence in Ivanna's case . " Kathleen has nothing to do with this , " Sebastian explained . Maxine let out a cold laugh . " You sure sound close by calling her like that ." Seeing that she didn't want to talk to him anymore , Sebastian felt a headache coming on , and his tone grew sharper . " I know a thing or two about Gabriel . The court already gave a verdict . Why can't you just let it go ? " Maxine was clearly risking everything . Just thinking about it made Maxine furious . If Kathleen hadn't destroyed that evidence back then , she wouldn't be struggling so much now . Looking back , it was obvious she did it on purpose . Gabriel told Kathleen to get rid of anything that could hurt him . All because they were part of the Jenson family , they tore apart a family that deserved happiness and still managed to walk away scot - free . 1/2 2/2 Wed , 18 Chapter 98 $ . 88 % 38 ) Maxine's voice was cold .

" Sensing the tension in the air , Charles pulled the car over and quietly interrupted , " Mr. Mason , we've arrived . " Maxine stepped out of the car . Jessica , who was playing in the yard with her teacher , spotted her right away and dashed over , throwing her arms around her . " Maxine ! " Maxine gently patted her head .
