Dragon Master

Chapter 22 Telling the Truth

“Who are you? Shut up. Are you allowed to talk here?"

At this moment, Laura rushed in, pointing at Maximilian’s nose and cursing. She looked at Victoria and Maximilian bitterly.

He was such a worthless wretch. What else was he going to say? He thought they were not ashamed enough, didn't he?

Samuel did not want to dwell on this matter ether. He said,

"All right, since you've got the contract, you siblings must work together to work it out. It is an opportunity for the Griffith group to rank into the upper class in H City. You must work hard and not be negligent. Do you understand?”

Franklin nodded and said,

"Yes, Grandpa. I'm sure I won't let you down."

Iris also nodded.

"What about you, Victoria?”

Samuel turned his head, and said in embarrassment.

"Got it, Grandpa." Victoria replied.

Only then did Samuel nod. He talked with other people for a while and was about to leave.

The entire side hall became noisy and lively because the Griffiths had entered into a contract with Graham Group.

But, suddenly, a discordant voice broke the atmosphere.

"Grandpa, I remembered that last time Victoria made a bet with Franklin. If she took the contract, she would be vice president of the company."

Maximilian said. He sat beside Victoria and saw that Victoria was spaced out when she sat down. He looked at her with tender love. Pow!

Franklin slapped the table and pointed at Maximilian, shouting angrily,

“You are too insolent! Maximilian, this is our the Griffiths's mid-year party. You are not our families. You have no right to speak here.”

Of course Franklin remembered the bet, but he would not mention it.

He thought that Victoria would not mention it either.

After all, this contract was strange, and maybe Victoria had got it through some dirty means.

"That's right. Maximilian, you don't even take a good look at yourself. How dare you contradict Franklin three times? You disrespect our family, didn't you?"

Iris also shouted at Maximilian with sharp words.

Laura was even more furious. She rushed over toward Maximilian and would like to slap him. She shouted,

"Maximilian, get your ass out of here. It’s none of your business!"

But she failed to slap him.

Because Victoria, who had been silent, stood up at this moment and stared at Laura coldly. Victoria said,

"Mom, that's enough. Maximilian is my husband!"

Laura was also stunned. She did not expect that her daughter would actually defend Maximilian, who was such a wimp.

"Victoria, you...you are crazy. Why are you speaking for the worthless loser?"

Laura's face was red and her eyes were wide open.

Victoria stared at Franklin coldly and said,

"Maximilian is right. If I hadn't got the contract of Graham Group today, maybe you would drive me out of the company.

Now, since I've got this contract, I should be the vice president." novelbin

After saying that, Victoria turned to look at Samuel and said,

"Grandpa, you promised."

Samuel tightly gripped the cane. He frowned and snorted,

"Let's take a long look at this matter!"

After saying that, Samuel immediately turned around and left the side hall.

"Grandpa!" Victoria became anxious.

However, Samuel did not stop at all.

Franklin sneered madly and said,

“Ah, Victoria, look. Are you sad now?"

"Remember. Even if you win the contract with the Graham Group, the vice president position won't be yours! I'm the eldest grandson of the Griffiths, so I'm the future successor in Grandpa's mind! I'll also become the head of the Griffiths!"

After saying that, Franklin left with other relatives of the Griffiths.

"How could grandpa do this?" Victoria was aggravated.

Grandfather had promised her before, but he eventually went back on his words.

Seeing that, Maximilian sitting aside looked at them coldly.

People of the Griffiths were shortsighted.

This little strife of interests and hook-ups were too contemptible.

"Victoria, you will be vice president sooner or later.”

Maximilian looked at Victoria with a serious expression.

Victoria turned around. Her face was full of tears. She said, "Really?"

Maximilian nodded and said, “Of course.”

At present, he was the young master of the Dragon Sect.

He could destroy the Griffiths in H City as easy as blowing off dust. He was able to help Victoria to be the head of the Griffiths, let alone the position of vice president!

"Forget it. You can do nothing. Grandpa has gone back on his words in front of so many people.”

Victoria wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and gave a wry smile.

Then she looked at Maximilian's cheek and bowed her head apologetically. She said,

"I'm sorry for slapping you before. I'll pay you back later."

Maximilian was speechless. Why did she want to pay back for the slap?

After saying that, Victoria stood up and left the side hall as well.

Maximilian immediately followed her.

When they returned home, Laura was not angry anymore. She looked excited and thrilled, and she said.

"Wow. My daughter is indeed awesome. She has got the cooperation contract of Graham Group. How profitable it will be! We'll have hope then."

Marcus sat on the sofa and held a cup of warm tea. Hearing that, he smiled but said nothing.

"Hey, Marcus. Look. What does your father mean? He said last time that he would offer Victoria vice president position when she took the contract. He went back on his words, didn't he?"

Suddenly, Laura thought of what had happened at the party and was still a little discontent.

Marcus sighed and said, "Didn't you realize anything?

Father has long intended to appoint Franklin as vice president, so our daughter has no chance.

After all, Yunsheng Pharmaceuticals will be handed over to Franklin in the future.”

"How can that be! How could he go back on what he promised in front of so many people?”

Laura said anxiously.

"Then you can ask father in person.”

Marcus said. “Well...”

Laura lost her temper all of a sudden. She did not dare to argue with their father.

More than an hour later, Victoria and Maximilian returned home one after the other. They had just returned from the hospital, and Maximilian had to go and stay there tonight.

When Laura saw her daughter return, she excitedly walked to her and pushed Maximilian away. She said happily,

"Victoria, my good girl, you're really a blessing to our family. You could really get the contract of Graham Group. I’m so proud of you."

Victoria was thinking about this matter on her way back. She hadn't met Mr. Ralphy before. She still did not understand why she got the contract.

"Mom, I'm not the person who made it happen."

Victoria decided to tell them.

"What? Not you? Then who?" Laura was also confused, and Marcus also would like to know the truth.

Maximilian shook his head because he thought Victoria was still too serious and too kind.

When Laura saw Maximilian shake his head, she became upset and said coldly,

"Why are you shaking your head? Could it be you who got this contract?

At the party, you were talking nonsense, and I’m not blaming you yet."

Hearing that, Victoria suddenly recalled something, so she turned to Maximilian and asked seriously,

"Maximilian, last time you told me that I'll get the contract, and today Mr. Ralphy took the contract in person. What's going on?"

"What? He is such a loser. He even said that?"

Laura could not believe it and overreacted.

As they three looked at himself suspiciously, Maximilian wondered if he should tell them the truth.
