Maxwell Carter



Maxwell Carter, James’s business partner, walks into the Donovan manor looking like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Once a wealthy entrepreneur, Maxwell made the mistake of trusting James with a substantial investment, a decision that has left him nearly bankrupt. His relationship with James was strained to say the least, and his desperation is palpable. He avoids direct confrontation but watches the Donovan family carefully, perhaps waiting for an opportunity to salvage his fortune—or something else.

Task 1: Read a book where business dealings lead to betrayal.
Task 2: Read a book where financial ruin is a key plot point.
Task 3: Read a book where a character must navigate a complex partnership.
