Chapter 47: Stunned
Right now, Travis wanted to hammer Maximilian to death here with a single punch!
But, Maximilian let out a cold laugh and directly shook off Travis’s hand as he said in a deep voice,
“Travis, don't flatter yourself. My wife invited you here for dinner just to return your favor. Besides, you know it in your heart
whether you have helped with the contract of the Graham Group. Must I tell the truth to Victoria?”
After speaking, Maximilian turned around and left.
However, Travis was furious! He clenched his fist and gave a sharp gulp. Then he pointed at Maximilian and yelled,
“Maximilian, what do you mean? Is it possible that the new contract of the Graham Group was arranged for her by you, a loser?
Well, you're good at jokes. Who would believe that it was won by a wimp like you? After saying that, Travis patted Maximilian’s
shoulder and whispered in his ear.
“You are just a loser and you will never be able to match a single hair of mine in your life!”
After saying that, Travis tugged at his suit with a smug look on his face and lifted his steps to catch up with Victoria.
Maximilian stood alone in the doorway, clenched his fist, and exhaled a breath with a sneer from the corners of his mouth.
“Can't compare with you? Ah ah! With a word from me, the Hart Group will disintegrate in an instant. I am keeping you just
because you haven't gone too far.”
Maximilian thought in his mind.
After smoking a cigarette, Maximilian turned around and entered the hall.
As soon as they entered the hall of Lasdun, they were attracted by the opulent decoration inside. It was too luxurious and
glorious.
Even for a second-generation rich like Travis, it was rare for him to come here a few times a year, and every time he came in,
he had to sigh with rich emotions.
After all, those who could dine at Lasdun were well-known entrepreneurs and wealthy people in H City. To eat here was a sign
of status and wealth.
Thinking about it, Travis took out his phone and took a selfie of himself standing at the famous landmark Golden Dragon Gate of
the Lesdone and then posted it on Twitter.
Following that, Travis turned from a guest into a host and introduced Laura and Victoria to the construction pattern of Lasdun and
the special dishes that were prepared for Emperors in ancient times.
“Auntie, uncle, Victoria, I've been here a few times. The meals are all at the state banquet level. In the past, only emperor could
eat such kind of dishes. Especially the wine here is a premium collection. You can't find it outside.”
After saying that, Travis had a proud look on his face as he waited for the waiter to serve him.
Laura, on the other hand, smiled and complimented, “Wow, Travis is so knowledgeable. Auntie likes you even more.”
With these words, she also came up to Travis’s ear and whispered. “Travis, you should take your time and establish a bond with
Victoria. As for Maximilian, don’t worry. Auntie will clear the way for you.”
Upon hearing this, Travis laughed and whispered, “Then thank you in advance, Auntie. After I marry Victoria, you can be my
mother-in-law and I will naturally be filial to you.”
Laura was happy to hear this and smiled like a young girl.
Travis raised his eyebrows, looked provocatively at Maximilian behind him, and gave a middle finger.
Maximilian just pretended not to see him and sent a text message to Wilfred.
Soon, a tall waitress in courtly cheongsam came over, with a respectful smile on her face, and said “Excuse me, do you have a
reservation?”
With the hands in his trouser pockets, Travis raised his chin, looked at the Rolex on his wrist, and said, “Yes, I've contacted your
Manager Thomas, Room 438.”
The waitress took a look at the Rolex on Travis's wrist and immediately said with a fawning smile on her face, “Of course, please
come with me”
Then Travis strutted around with a few people and followed the waitress. From time to time, he turned back to say something to
Victoria.
However, Victoria only squeezed out a smile and gave a few laughs to echo his words.
She was worried. She just glanced at the menu outside and found that the dishes started with at least thousands of dollars! It
was just way too expensive!
When they entered the box, Laura looked at the box for a few moments and then stammered with displeasure,
“Ouch, why is this room so small? How can we seat in such a small room?”
Laura could not bear any aggravation. She glared at Maximilian, who followed behind her and chided, “I wouldn't bring him here
if I knew it. Now look, it is not big enough for the five of us”
Maximilian kept silent and said nothing. He got used to being accused by his mother-in-law.
Travis also frowned and looked at the room. It was indeed small and crowded for five people, so he said to the waitress, “Get us
a larger. We want to eat comfortably if it's too crowded.”
Victoria stumbled slightly when she heard this.
“Victoria, what's wrong?” Laura asked her.
“Oh, I’m fine.” Victoria hurriedly laughed and said.
The waitress said apologetically, “Sorry, we have minimum consumption for all the rooms here. The rooms on this floor has a
minimum consumption of fifty thousand dollars. If you want to change to a larger one, you have to go to the second floor, where
the rooms require a minimum consumption of one hundred thousand dollars.”
With those words, the waitress looked the five people up and down.
There was a burst of cold mockery and contempt in her heart. Since the moment they entered the door, she could see that
among these five people, only the handsome man leading the group was a second-generation rich.
As for the other four people, what kind of rubbish were they? Were they here to beg for food?
Travis was about to say they needed to change but he thought it was Victoria's treat, so he turned his head to look at Victoria
and asked, “Victoria, do we need to change it?”
To change or not to change? Victoria had no idea in her mind and struggled to look at her mother.
Laura also quite scared at this moment. She thought secretly, “Such a small room actually required a minimum consumption of
fifty thousand.
And the boxes upstairs actually required a minimum consumption of one hundred thousand!
Wasn't that a robbery?
Oh, we were finished. We would spend a fortune here. Why did I say it was small? It was my fault!
But now it was too late to change places. After all, we have already come in, and if we just turn and leave, we will be laughed at
by others.”
So Laura just smiled and said with some embarrassment, “How about here? It’s a little small, but we can all squeeze in and it’s
cozy”
Travis said nothing. After all, Laura said so, and he couldn't force them to change places.
“It is all right with me. It’s Victoria's treat today so you are in charge.”
Travis laughed and said. He looked at Victoria, leaned in, and muttered in a small voice, “Victoria, if you want to go upstairs, I'll
treat you.”
Upon hearing this, Victoria hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it's my treat. It's the favor I owe you.”
Travis chuckled and said, “The favor you owe me can't be paid pack in one meal.”
