Chapter 46: How Do You Settle It
As soon as Maximilian said this, Travis, who was in front of him heard it and immediately puffed out a laugh. He turned his face
around and asked with a mocking expression on his face,
“What? Did you say that you have a membership card of the Hankook Palace?
Where did it come from?
Is it a fake?”
Travis thought Maximilian was really shameless.
How dare he say that he had a membership card of the Hankook Palace?
Did he know one had to consume at least a million dollars a year first to get a membership card?
Even for the Hart family, only his father had one.
What an idiot!
Laura's face suddenly darkened. She glared at Maximilian and shouted,
“Maximilian, what are you talking about?
Do you want me to throw you off the car?”
Victoria turned her face slightly and glanced at Maximilian angrily.
Why did he interrupt and talk about it at this time? Wasn't he looking for scolding?
Maximilian chuckled and said,
“Oh, it’s not mine. My friend left it with me.”
Travis laughed, a sneering chill appearing at the corners of his eyes, and he said in a nonchalant manner,
“Maximilian, well done! I can't believe a loser like you still has a friend like that?”
Maximilian grinned slightly and said,
“It's okay. There are so many things you don't know.”
Upon hearing this, Travis became angry, shouting,
“What do you mean by that?”
“Oh, literal meaning.”
Maximilian still smiled calmly.
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Victoria hurriedly turned her head and glared at Maximilian, then scolded,
“Well, cut the crap.”
Following that, she turned her face to Travis with an apologetic smile and said,
“Travis, sorry to make you embarrassed. Don't be too hard on him.”
“It's okay. I won't be hard on a loser.”
Travis sneered twice and glanced at Maximilian with displeasure for a few moments before he asked Victoria,
“Well, where do you want to eat? It’s up to you.”
Victoria looked at the online restaurant reviews, thought for a moment, and said,
“Lesdone, it looks good and has a nice setting.”
“OK!"
Travis smiled, turned around, and drove.
Maximilian frowned when he heard the name of Lasdun. Why did she go to this expense restaurant?
Lasdun was a famous chain restaurant in the country!
And it cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars for a meal!
However, Victoria didn't seem to know that.
Soon, they arrived at Lasdun and the moment Victoria got out of the car, she froze in place.
How could it be this “Lasdun’”?
The red pavilion carved with dragons and phoenixes was famous in H City as the “Red Tower’.
The people who come here to eat were all the dignitaries of H City.
Because what they ate here were all dishes specially made for Emperor in ancient times
Oh, no! The names of two restaurants had the similar pronunciation, and Travis must have misunderstood her!
What she said was Lesdone, not Lasdun.
A meal in Lasdun cost a fortune, and Victoria knew it. What should she do now?
Maximilian also noticed the change in Victoria's complexion and asked in a small voice, “What's wrong?”
Victoria looked at Maximilian with an aggrieved face and said,
“I'm not talking about Lasdun...It is a famous restaurant in H City and the consumption is very high. What can I do?”
When Maximilian heard this, he raised his eyebrows, looked the one in Victoria's phone, and he was dumbfounded. They
were really homophones and Travis had misunderstood her.
The current merchants were really smartasses.
While thinking, Maximilian asked tentatively, “How about we change the restaurant again?”
Victoria's eyebrows clustered, and when she did not have time to think carefully, Travis, Laura, and Marcus already came over
with a smile on their faces.
“Victoria, let’s go inside. I know the manager here and I've asked him to arrange a private room for us in advance.”
Travis was full of smiles. He didn’t expect that Victoria was so nice to him and actually invited him to have a meal here. This trip
was worthwhile.
Even though he was the young master of the Hart Group, he didn’t come to Lasdun for dinner several times a year.
The truth was that the meal here was too expensive.
Any consumption below tens of thousands was only for tables downstairs
If they need a private room, an extra charged would be applied.
Victoria was force to agree, “Oh, okay.”
She was going crazy now, but she couldn't tell them. After all, they were already there.
She had no choice now.
Maximilian stood behind her, looking at her struggling in a dilemma, and helplessly shook his head and said softly,
“Let's go inside. It’s okay. I'll settle the bill later.”
Victoria turned her head with a suspicious complexion. She stared at Maximilian with great intensity, and asked in a low voice,
“You'll settle it? How do you settle it? Here is Lasdun. It will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars!”
She hated herself now. Why did she make it clear at the time? Now she was going to spend lots of money for a meal.
However, Victoria was even angrier at Maximilian in her heart. At this time, he still had the mood to play a joke on her. Didn't
he see that she was going crazy?
“Do you believe me?”
Maximilian suddenly grabbed Victoria's delicate hand. The warmth of his palm passed into Victoria's palm, causing her impatient
heart to slowly calm down.
Victoria raised her eyebrows and looked at Maximilian with twinkling eyes. A strange feeling haunted her mind.
Should I trust him?
Victoria didn’t know what to say, and muttered in a small, aggrieved voice,
“How are you...going to settle it? Do you have enough money?” As soon as she asked this question, Victoria regretted it.
She actually believed what Maximilian said. He didn’t have money and even Sissi’s treatment fee was borrowed from someone
else
Maximilian laughed blandly and reached out to scrape Victoria's delicate nose, laughing,
“Don't worry about it. I have my own way. You guys go in first.”
Just as she finished speaking over here, Laura turned around her face angrily, glared at Maximilian, and scolded him,
“Maximilian, what are you doing?
What kind of sweet words do you want to delude her?
Victoria, why are you still standing here? Hurry up, and accompany Travis now.”
Laura heartily despised a loser like Maximilian and was afraid of losing face wherever she went out.
“Oh, I’m coming.”
Only then did Victoria return to herself. She gave Maximilian a disgusted look and rubbed her nose before catching up. She took
Laura’s arm and led her into the hall.
She looked back at Maximilian a few times, as she was feeling uneasy. How the hell was he going to fix it?
Maximilian smiled faintly and raised his step to go inside, but Travis reached out his hand and stopped him. He smiled mockingly
and grimly,
“Maximilian, what did you whisper to Victoria just now?”
Maximilian frowned and stared at Travis with an unpleasant look, then asked rhetorically,
“What does it have to do with you?”
Whispering to his own wife has nothing to do with Travis, you idiot!
As soon as Travis heard his words, he looked at Maximilian, and was annoyed!
He came up, grabbed Maximilian by his washed-out white collar, and warned viciously,
“Maximilian, I'm warning you! Don't think I don't dare to do anything to you just because you're Victoria's husband! In my eyes,
you're nothing but a trash from the bottom of the world, understand?
How can you compare to me? Do you have any money?
I helped Victoria get the new contract of the Graham Group, and she will only be grateful to me.
And look where you are now, Lasdun!
Victoria invited me here for dinner, what does it mean that?
It means that she has me in her mind!”
