Initially, when Tiana came to him and asked him to release Meredith Ford, he hesitated for a long time. He didn't plan to release her, but because of this reason, he let Meredith go.
He didn't know what Tiana intended to do at the time. In hindsight, the whole process seemed extremely dangerous.
The only solace was that their mother finally saw Meredith's true nature and would no longer grieve for her in the future.

At first, Maxim didn't intend to hide the sister. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told Julian she'd returned before he came back to the country.
The other half of the reason was harder to explain; to their mother, it would sound too selfish.
