Chapter 57: Thank You, Maximilian
Maximilian turned around and said, "Yes, it won't take long."
Hearing this, Laura looked at Maximilian with disgust and asked in a cold voice.
"What does this matter have to do with you? Did you instruct Victoria to say those things in the conference room?”
Laura immediately looked at Victoria anxiously when she thought of this and asked her in a reprimanding manner.
“Victoria, tell me the fucking truth. Did that loser instruct you to do so? As long as you admit it, then things will be easy. We
only need to let him apologize to Samuel.”
“Okay, mother. Don't bother me now. My mind is totally a mess. Could you leave me alone to calm down?" Victoria replied in
an unpleasant manner.
“Do you know what time is it? You must be misguided by that loser. Do you think you can believe in what he said? Victoria, I
think you're crazy!”
Laura angrily pointed at Victoria and scolded her, at the same time; she slapped her on the face.
Laura really regretted to death when she agreed to marry her daughter to such a trash.
Now her family was falling apart.
Laura's slap froze Victoria. Her tears were running around her eyes. Seeing this, Maximilian’s face went gloomy as a pool of
stagnant water. He rushed between them and grabbed Laura's hand, saying in a cold voice.
"You can't hit her. We don’t know what will happen next. Why can't you trust her?”
Laura was furious, when was that loser's turn to speak?
"How dare you stop me? I think Victoria is probably instigated by you! Get the hell out of here! I am teaching my own daughter
a lesson now. What does it have to do with you?”
Laura gasped. Maximilian glanced at her coldly, not moving at all but kept protecting Victoria in front of her.
This was the first time he had acted so brave in this house, in front of Laura.
Looking at Maximilian’s cold eyes, Laura suddenly got panicked.
That look was so scary, like a fierce beast was staring at her.
Seeing the situation was getting intense, Marcus stepped forward and said, "Stop! What's the point of arguing when thing
goes on like this? Now we have to find a way to let Samuel forgive Victoria.”
Only then did Maximilian let go of Laura's hand and said to Victoria.
"Don't worry about it. Just get inside and have a rest.”
Victoria stood up with aggrieved eyes, turning around to the bedroom.
Maximilian looked at her back silently.
However, it seemed that Laura was unwilling to let him go easily. She slammed the plate Maximilian was holding down to the
ground, pointing at his nose and scolding,
“Maximilian, I'm warning you! Don't lead my daughter to the wrong way!
Sooner or later, you're going to get a divorce. My daughter is going to have a good future and she will definitely not waste her
time on you!"
Maximilian didn't say a word, and grabbed the mop to clean up the floor.
Laura stomped her foot in anger and cursed,
"You are noting. I will kick you out of our house sooner or later!"
It was about the lunch time when Maximilian came to the bedroom and found Victoria sitting alone with her hands on her
knees, crying in a low voice on the bed.
“What's wrong?” Maximilian asked tentatively.
Victoria turned around, wiped her tears, and choked, “No... nothing.”
Maximilian smiled. Her wife looked pretty even when she cried.
"Don't worry. Franklin and Samuel will come to beg you."
Maximilian said.
Victoria raised her eyebrow, looked at Maximilian in confusion, and asked.
"Why do you say that? Do you know something?”
Maximilian nodded and said, "I've looked at those companies that Yunsheng Pharmaceutical has partnered with in the past
two days, and it seems that their profits aren't good. Some of their stock prices have dropped wildly, so I guess they'll cut a lot of
their partners.”
Hearing this, Victoria became anxious,
"Why would this happen?" After that, she quickly opened her laptop and browsed through those companies and channel
providers that were working with Yunsheng Pharmaceutical. Then she found that their revenue was actually bad and most of
them started to lay off their staff.
As for the stock market, it was even worse.
Victoria finally got panicked. Now it was no longer related to her, but the whole company.
“Maximilian, so... what should we do now?" Victoria asked anxiously.
She knew what the contract with the Graham Group meant based on the current situation.
As long as Yunsheng Pharmaceutical was abandoned by its partners, then it wouldn't have any order or any shipment. Its
revenue would decline sharply before the layoff started and went bankruptcy...
At that time, the cooperation with the Graham Group would be their last straw.
Was that why Maximilian said Samuel would come to beg her?
"Wait." Maximilian leaned against the door and said.
Victoria suddenly looked up and stared him. At this time, she found the man in front of her was somewhat mysterious.
It seemed that Maximilian had changed into another person, complex and sly.
"Maximilian, is there something you're hiding from me?
Why do you suddenly care about these things?” Victoria asked.
Maximilian smiled, scratched the back of his head and said, "You are my wife, so it's normal for me to pay attention to your
work. After all, the family still depends on you. I have to pay attention to my wife's financial income all the time.”
That was a blunt and irresponsible speak.
Victoria glanced at him and said in an angry manner,
"Stop talking nonsense.”
Then she asked with concern,
“Is this... really feasible?”
Maximilian looked at her eyes seriously and asked, "Do you want to do this?"
Victoria was silent, did she want to?
Today, so many people in the conference room laughed at her and tried to find her trouble.
Even her grandfather, who used to love her the most, began to suspect her and gave the contract with the Graham Group to
Franklin.
Was she meaning nothing to them in their eyes?
Why she couldn't even compare with a playboy like Franklin in her grandfather's mind?
She was not convinced!
I, 'm worried that my grandfather and Franklin will..." Victoria was still a bit flustered.
Maximilian interrupted her, "Don't worry about it. Just leave this on me. I will handle it for me”
Victoria looked at Maximilian. She felt so safe and well-protected at this moment.
It turned out that she could really trust him.
And her husband was always there behind her.
“I'm sorry, Maximilian. I've misunderstood you all these years."
Victoria's tears ran down from her cheek. She finally knew that her husband loved her so much from the beginning.
Maximilian smiled and didn't say anything.
After lunch, he received a text message from Wilfred when he was washing dishes, saying,
Young master, everything is done, and the partners of Yunsheng Pharmaceuticals are starting to cut off their cooperation.
“OK!” Maximilian replied.
It's time for them to pay back.
"Who are you texting to?"
Suddenly, Victoria's voice came from behind.
