I kind of explained this I think in my reply above.

I disagree with that. First off I think just the een offering was too much, but secondly I think it should Max had too much of an understanding the he WAS ruining Blum's marriage. He knew what he was doing with that information at that time, yet later he insists he's trying to use the same information to get Miss Cross back.

But right now I'm kinda wavering because as I'm typing this out, and trying to draw upon examples, I can't exactly recall if during his discussion with Brian Cox he's trying to get her fired. I remember their exchange, "Why are you trying to get her fired?" "I'm trying to win her back!"...but was he being malicious with Miss Cross as well?
