"But in the end, the Palmers' ambition took over, and now they're a powerful, renowned family." "Well, well," Vincent sighed, "there's no point in dwelling on the past. Someone else wants to meet you. His nis Magnus Evans. You probably don't know him either, but he's the real father of Maximus Palmer, and-" Vincent stopped abruptly as Magnus touched his arm, signaling him to stop. Vincent had already said too much; their focus needed to be on the future, not the past.
