Maxwell Peary looked utterly bewildered as he turned to Zion Hastings.
"Which wire in your brain got crossed to make you think I'd be interested in an airhead like Phoebe Walker?"
Zion Hastings nearly choked in frustration. So toxic! Couldn't he just say no? Did he have to be so scathing?
"I was just asking. After all, you've never been involved in this kind of scandal before."
It's all over the place! Everyone probably thinks Phoebe Walker is the future Mrs. Peary. Given Maxwell's capabilities, he probably allowed this rumor to spread tacitly. But why?
Yancy Hastings was also a bit confused by Maxwell Peary's thinking. However, with his father present, Maxwell Peary definitely wouldn't want him to reveal anything about Nia Mitchell. So, even if he had ten thousand questions burning in his mind, he wouldn't voice them here.
Without another word, Maxwell Peary opened the door and left the Hastings residence.
