Chapter 45: Who Are You Texting?
The crowd froze, their faces were suspicious. A new contract was delivered so soon?
Just now they were discussing about Maximilian, and now someone was delivering the contract at the door.
This scared Laura and Travis, and their faces were very grave.
Victoria took the contract and walked into the living room, her face was filled with doubts.
Was it really Maximilian?
But Laura shouted violently.
"Victoria, why don't you thank Travis? This must be due to Travis's help. Otherwise, you really think it's that wimp Maximilian’s
credit, huh?”
After saying that, Laura was filled with a joyful smile as she looked at Travis and said gratefully.
"Ah, Travis, this really thanks to you. Tell me what do you want? I just don’t know how to thank you properly.’
Travis was stupefied by her words, and reacted with a jolt, laughing awkwardly and saying,
"Auntie, it's okay. I just want Victoria to be happy.’
Travis was very confused. His dad said he could not help him with this matter, how could the contract be sent over so quickly?
Victoria took the contract, and after being reminded by Laura, she also thanked Travis.
“Travis, thank you, I'll return your favor in the future.”
Since Victoria thought it was his credit, why didn't he just take the credit?
"Ha-ha, its okay, Victoria, I'm just happy to help you, because I love you so much."
Travis was also bold enough to say it directly in front of her parents, and his hand directly grabbed Victoria's hands.
Victoria blushed immediately and pulled her hands away, as she put her hair behind her ear and said.
"Don't be ridiculous ......”
An! Travis touched his nose, and the fresh fragrance of Victoria's hand was still on the tip of his fingers, which was even more
charming. He had to win over this woman!
And so he stayed in Victoria's home until late in the evening, when Maximilian came back.
As soon as he entered, he saw Travis was actually still staying in the house and his face was naturally unhappy.
However, he didn't say anything and looked at Victoria while asking softly.
“Well, was the contract sent over?"
After hearing his words, they all looked up and fixed their eyes on Maximilian with different emotions.
Victoria was not much surprised, and she felt a warm surge in her heart.
After all, her husband still cared about her.
But Laura and Travis, on the other hand, had very unpleasant faces and expressions full of ridicule.
“Maximilian! Who asks you to come back? Besides, What does the contract have to do with you? Are you uncomfortable to know
that Travis helped Victoria get the new contract? Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? What kind of bullshit you are? A
loser!”
Laura was disgruntled and scolded Maximilian. He was just a piece of shit. How come he was everywhere?
He spoke as if he, Maximilian, had solved the issue about the contract.
Maximilian froze, his eyebrows knitted as he looked towards Travis, who was on the sofa while crossing his legs smugly.
The contract was settled by him? Travis laughed coldly at this moment, and said, "Maximilian, okay, you're really getting
shameless now. From what you're saying, the new contract was settled by you for Victoria.”
Travis couldn't suppress the laughter in his heart. Maximilian, how came he couldn't really afford the cost every time he tried to
satisfy his vanity.
That new contract could be worked out by a loser like him who depended on a woman?
Maximilian raised an eyebrow and laughed faintly.
"It's possible.”
Oh! Without holding back, Travis stood up with his face abhorrent, and said, "Maximilian, I know you're not convinced in your
heart and want to show off in front of Victoria. However, the new contract of Graham Group, I entrusted my father to help solve it;
you can't do anything even if you're not convinced. You heard my father call me earlier, right? Now you want to steal the credit,
how shameless you are!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Victoria at the side changed her face.
She immediately turned to Maximilian with a cold face and said.
“Alright, Maximilian, there's nothing else for you here, go ahead and get busy”
She didn't want to see Maximilian continue to be mocked and denigrated. After all, it was her own husband who was so
humiliated in front of an outsider, and she followed feeling humiliated too.
Maximilian intended to say something, but he left the living room helplessly and turned into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Naturally, he hadn't been idle much while eavesdropping what was happening in the living room.
Just at this moment, his cell phone vibrated. After wiping his hands busily, he opened it and read the message from Ralphy
Graham.
“Mr. Lee, the new contract has been sent over, and your next instructions are ready. I am waiting for your command.
Maximilian looked at it for a few moments and simply replied a word “good”.
However, just as he finished sending this text message, a white and tender hand behind him reached over and snatched the
phone from Maximilian.
"Let me see who you're sneaking text messages to.”
Maximilian froze and found Victoria stand behind him, puffing out her mouth. It looked like she was trying to catch adultery.
While seeing as she was about to flip through the text message log, Maximilian hurriedly reached out to grab it and said.
"Nothing, just something in the SPA saloon."
"Nothing?" Victoria lifted her hand upwards, her eyes sternly staring at Maximilian, and she asked, “Why are you so nervous?"
How could Maximilian not be nervous? It would be difficult to explain if Victoria saw his text message exchange with Ralphy
Graham and Wilfred Collins.
“Nothing really, it's just something from the SPA saloon. They are having a group dinner and asked if I'd go.’
Maximilian casually explained it and was about to take the phone from Victoria's hand.
His sturdy chest was directly against Victoria's body, and caused the latter to have a big blush.
"Don't move!" Victoria took two steps back with her face chilled.
Maximilian stayed right where he was in fear with his eyes staring nervously at the phone in Victoria's hand.
"Meeting for dinner, is it? Let me see, how much do your share the cost?"
Victoria said while pouting like a little girl, and was about to flip through Maximilian's text message history.
Just then, Laura walked in with a cold face and glared at Maximilian before saying.
"Victoria, what are you doing here? Why don't you go out and stay with Travis? Let's go out for dinner and celebrate."
"Oh, I'll be right over."
Victoria answered and reluctantly returned the phone to Maximilian before saying.
“I just believe you for once."
Maximilian took the phone with a cold sweat on his head, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Victoria took a few steps, suddenly turned back, and said.
"Why don't you go out for dinner with us tonight?”
“Go out for dinner?” Maximilian was a bit taken aback.
Laura, who had not yet left, accused in a commanding and unpleasant manner at this moment.
"What, are you going to make our family's great benefactor, eat those lousy dishes you make?
Do you have any idea how bad it tastes?"
Maximilian muttered with a clustered brow.
"I didn't hear you say it was bad before.”
Upon hearing this, Laura was enraged, and she immediately pointed at Maximilian, cursing.
"Maximilian, you're getting more and more rude now, and you've learned to talk back, haven't you? See if I would smack you to
death!"
With that, she raised her hand, and was about to fling a slap at him.
Luckily, Victoria, who was on the side, stopped her and said coldly.
"Mom, just stop messing around and get out of here.”
She also gave Maximilian a blank look, and said. “And you, hurry up."
And Travis took the scene from the living room with a sneering grin.
Maximilian was really a wimp.
After almost ten minutes or so, the family was out of the door fully clothed.
At the door, Travis made a big offer by pointing to the Porsche he had just bought and said, "Auntie, take my car.”
Laura took a look at the car parked at the door and immediately danced around with high spirits while saying.
"Yeah, I've never been in limo before."
Victoria shook her head helplessly and had to follow him to the car.
"You come up, too.’
Travis glared at Maximilian without good grace, his eyes mockingly stared.
Ah! A wimp like Maximilian had ever been in a luxury car in his life.
However, unbeknownst to him, Maximilian laughed coldly in his heart. Was a Porsche a luxury car now? He wasn't even so high
profile and arrogant in Wilfred Collins's Rolls Royce.
Once getting into the car, Victoria was torn and asked.
"Where should we go for dinner?" Laura immediately took an interest and said.
"Go to Hankook Palace, I've heard that Hankook Palace is famous for its delicious food."
Victoria hesitated and said.
"Mom, Hankook Palace was only for members only, and one has to spend a million a year to be a member.”
Upon hearing this, Laura froze and said, "Ouch, it’s so expensive?
Forget it then, we won't go there. A random restaurant will be OK."
Marcus followed nodding and echoing.
“Yes, it can't be too bad. After all, it's a treat for Travis.
The Hankook Palace, we don't have to think about it.”
But, suddenly, Maximilian, who was on the side, spoke up.
"I have a membership card of the Hankook Palace.”
