Chapter 32: No One Can Take It Away
Chapter 32: No One Can Take It Away
Iris stared at Maximilian like he was an idiot, and the corners of her mouth lifted as she hummed a
laugh.
"Heh, Maximilian, what do you mean? What, are you that mysterious rich young Mr. Lee?”
Maximilian shook his head and chuckled softly.
“It's possible.”
Aha ha! Instantly, the entire inner hall of the Griffith's old mansion erupted with laughter and snickers.
"Damn! Maximilian is crazy to say so."
“How shameless! He's crazy about fame.”
“Alas, Victoria is so unlucky to have a husband like him.”
In the face of a group of people laughing, Maximilian appeared indifferent.
These nonentities didn't know that the one sitting in front of them was none other than the rich young
Mr. Lee, whom they had been claiming to worship and envy!
Suddenly.
Laura, the mother-in-law of Maximilian, stood up, pointed at him and started to curse.
“Maximilian, shut the fuck up! Are you allowed to talk here? You're not ashamed, but I'm ashamed!"
Laura was about to explode with anger!
Maximilian was really embarrassing her everywhere.
Did he have any sense of shame?
Did he have to have people look down on them to be happy?
A punk! He was a punk!
She must make a scene to make Victoria divorce him after getting home tonight!
Kathy, who was on the side, followed suit with a scowl and scoffed.
“Oh, a cursed good-for-nothing dog. How dares he talk wildly and not put himself in the right place?"
Maximilian tried to explain, but Victoria, who was beside him, directly chilled her face and said in a
deep voice to him.
“That's enough. Maximilian, shut up!”
Victoria's eyes were filled with tears of grievances. She was already having a hard time, but Maximilian
still had to say such things. Wasn't he pushing her in front of everyone, waiting for her to be abused
and humiliated?
Maximilian was stunned, words stuck in his throat, and helplessly lowered his head and said,
"I'm sorry.” Mr. Samuel also slapped the table and said,
“Okay, let's calm down."
The crowd shut up, but looked at Maximilian and Victoria with contempt.
It was also at this moment that Mr. Samuel coughed lightly and said,
“While we're having family dinner tonight, I want to make an announcement.’
Hearing that, everyone got up their spirits.
Franklin naturally smiled with excitement, and looked provocatively at Victoria.
"Regarding the cooperation with the Graham Group, I've thought about it and will leave it to Franklin.”
Mr. Samuel continued, “Victoria, you had better hand it over to Franklin tomorrow and let Franklin sign
the contract, since it hasn't been signed yet anyway. As for you, you can act as an assistant to Franklin
when you're not busy, and learn as much as possible, you know?”
After those words, the entire inner hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at Mr. Samuel in disbelief before dropping their gazes on Victoria.
What?
Mr. Samuel took away Victoria's right to be in charge of cooperating with the Graham Group and gave it
to Franklin! This was a big deal!
Victoria was also confused at this moment, and dull as she looked at Mr. Samuel.
“Grandpa, this contract was given to me by Mr. Ralphy. How can you just take it from me and give to
Franklin? And besides, he doesn't know...”
Victoria got anxious and desperately tried to say something.
“All right! I've made up my mind on the matter!”
Mr. Samuel directly interrupted Victoria's words with a dark face, got up and left the hall.
Watching Mr. Samuel leave, Victoria was aggrieved, clenching her fist with hatred and gritting her teeth!
She knew that it must have something to do with Franklin!
She angrily stared at Franklin, whose face was about to turn red. And finally, Franklin couldn't hold it in
anymore and let out a loud laugh!
“Aha ha! Victoria, how about it? Are you angry now? Do you want to hit me?
Aha ha, do you still want to make achievements in front of grandpa by yourself?
I'm telling you, you'll never have a chance in your life to do it and you'll always be trod under my feet!”
Franklin smiled smugly.
Especially when he saw that Victoria was about to cry, he felt even better.
“Franklin, you scumbag. The contract was mine!"
Victoria shouted reluctantly.
Franklin shrugged his shoulders and said,
“So what? Grandpa asked me to take over it. Do you have a problem with that? Actually, I have to
thank you for it. If you
hadn't taken the contract, I wouldn't have had the chance to be in charge of this partnership. But don't
worry. You don't have to help me with this cooperation, for there is no way you will have anything to do
with it.”
Victoria was furious and got up straight away, leaving the Griffith's old mansion.
Franklin also added fuel to the fire by shouting,
"Victoria, grandpa used to like you a lot. But it's a pity that you married that trash Maximilian, otherwise,
grandpa wouldn't
have disliked you.”
Victoria clenched her fist and left without looking back.
Maximilian hurriedly got up to chase her, but unfortunately, she was already out of sight.
Marcus and Laura, who naturally couldn't sit down anymore, left the Griffith's old mansion after Victoria.
As soon as they left, the entire courtyard erupted into laughters, with all sorts of unpleasant words
taunting Maximilian and Victoria.
When he returned home and stood at the door, Maximilian was just about to enter, but heard the
furious and noisy voice of his mother-in-law Laura inside the house.
"Damn it! It's so damned! By doing this, Mr. Samuel simply thumbed his nose at us. The contract was
negotiated by Victoria.
Why did he give it to that incompetent Franklin!"
Laura was angry and cursed, "No, I'm going to talk to Mr. Samuel!”
Seeing that Laura was about to go out, Marcus hurriedly pulled her back and said,
“Don't make things worse. Since Mr. Samuel has decided on it, we cant change it."
"So shall we just leave it at that? Marcus, I've been with you for so long, when will you be tough? You're
just like that loser Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Maximilian!”
Laura shouted at the top of her voice.
“Tell me, why does our family have such a loser? Today, our family lost face, but Franklin was
intoxicated by success. I don't care. Victoria, you must divorce Maximilian!"
Laura was spewing curses in the living room, full of anger, and even wanted to strangle Maximilian to
death.
Marcus was also helpless. What a sin to have such a son-in-law?
Victoria sat on the couch, crying.
“What are you crying about? You must divorce him ASAP! Such a piece of shit. Out of sight, out of
mind! If he doesn't leave, our family won't have good days!"
Laura was furious and smashed a lot of things.
Victoria raised her head, with her makeup messing up, and said,
“Mom, please, I won't divorce Maximilian. I've been married to him for four years. If you let me divorce
him like this, how can I be respected in later life?"
Victoria didn't want to divorce, for she had once loved that dashing Maximilian.
