Dragon Master

Chapter 23 This is My Promise

Not yet. It was not the right time.

Maximilian smiled and said,

"I encouraged you in the first place, and the reason why you got the contract maybe have something to do with Mr. Zak."

Mr. Zak? Hearing the name, Laura raised her eyebrows and then asked in excitement.

"Darling, are you really dating Mr. Zak?"

Victoria immediately glanced at Laura angrily and said coldly,

"No. You are kidding me. I have nothing to do with him.’

After saying that, she glared at Maximilian with a little anger and dragged him into the bedroom. She crashed the door shut behind her and asked him coldly,

"What did you mean? Do you also suspect me?"

Victoria was angry, and her face was slightly red, crystal teardrops were swirling in her eyes.

She had never suspected Maximilian, but what he said just now indicated that he was doubting her!

He was satirizing her in a different way, didn't he?

"Maximilian, you are not a man. I'm your wife!"

Victoria became furious and pounded her small fists on Maximilian’s chest.

Maximilian hurriedly hugged Victoria and said,

"Victoria, you misunderstood. I mean last time Mr. Graham might be afraid that you will call the police because the Graham Group is also a big listed company. What they did was to show the white feather to you. If I remembered correctly, Zak will soon come back to apologize to you.”

Upon hearing this, Victoria's eyes blinked with tears in them. She stared at Maximilian and asked in a low voice,Really?”

Maximilian nodded and said, "Little fool. I'll never doubt you. I love you more than I can Say."

Suddenly, Victoria's cheeks were scarlet. She immediately realized something and violently pushed Maximilian away. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said,

"You are talking nonsense. I don't want to talk to you.’

Then she turned around, left the bedroom and went into the bathroom.

Maximilian watched Victoria turn around and walk away elegantly. He smiled and took out his phone to send a text message to Ralphy.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Laura was extremely excited.

"Hey, honey. It’s a good thing that Victoria really dates with the young master of Graham Group, isn't it?"

Laura now believed that her daughter would marry into a wealthy family, and she would gain some advantage and become a rich lady.

Marcus shook his head helplessly and said,

"Do you want us to be laughed at by the Griffiths and the whole city?"

Laura became unhappy when she heard that and pushed Marcus for several times. She asked him,

"What do you mean? Am I willing to be humiliated? I don’t want our daughter to live with the loser Maximilian for the rest of her life. What can he bring to our family? Whatever. She must divorce that loser!"

Marcus was about to say something else, but he could only shake his head and walk away with the newspaper. She was crazy and unbelievable.

Outside the room, Maximilian had taken something and was about to go out to take care of Sissi in hospital. novelbin

He heard all of his mother-in-law's words just now, and he had long since got used to these words.

"Mom, I'm going to the hospital."

Maximilian said politely.

When Laura saw him go out, she scolded him with hatred.

"Get out of here. I hope you never come back."

Every time when she saw the loser Maximilian, she would get angry.

On the following day,In Yunshen Pharmaceuticals,

After yesterday's party, the whole company now was unusually busy. Everyone was talking about that incident last night in secret.

"Hey. Do you know how exactly did our Director Victoria get the cooperation contract with the Graham Group?"

"Oh. What else could she do? Didn't you hear Manager Griffith say that Director Victoria met with Mr. Zak in private. You know.’

"Wow, she slept with him, didn’t she? I did not expect Director Victoria to be this kind of woman. It's too dirty.”

Ahem! Suddenly, they heard a violent cough, so everyone returned to normal.

Franklin walked over and shouted angrily,

"What's going on? You are even chatting early in the morning. You don't have to work, do you?"

Because of what happened last night, Franklin was in a bad mood until now. He went into his office after shouting at staff.

As soon as he entered the office, he began to process the video that he had asked someone to shoot. In the video, Zak and Victoria entered the Bella Club one after the other. He then posted the video to the Wechat group of the whole company.

It brought an intense discussion in the Wechat group immediately.

There are all sorts of speculation and trolling of Victoria.

Franklin was happy to see that. He crossed his legs on the desk. His female secretary stood behind him and massaged his shoulders. He said,’Cool!

Victoria, even if you get the contract with Graham Group, so what?

“In the end, you'll gain nothing. I’m sure you cannot continue this cooperation when you are notorious.’

At the same time, Victoria was in her office. When she saw the messages in the wechat group, she became furious and clenched her fist.

She typed with her phone angrily, trying to explain, but she deleted the words she had typed out helplessly.

Then she bent over the desk aggressively and cried for a moment before she recovered and continued to work.

If she cared too much about these things, they would believe that it was true.

Just at this moment, Iris suddenly barged into her office with a stack of documents in her hands.

"Sign these documents.’

Iris said coldly. She did not have a high status in the company. She was just a team leader in the marketing department, and she still needed to ask Victoria for permission on everything, which made her very unhappy!

"By the way, your daughter's birthday is on the 23rd. The loser Maximilian won't be able to accompany his poor daughter to celebrate again this year.’

lris suddenly sneered unfriendly, "I also heard that a tycoon has chartered the biggest and most luxurious hotel in H City, Caesar Palace Hotel for a whole day to celebrate his daughter's birthday as well. Coincidentally, it’s also the 23rd.

Both of them are fathers, but there is a huge gap."

Seeing Iris sneer with contempt, Victoria became agitated.

"It's the 23rd. So what? It’s the same date, but it means nothing." Victoria said.

lris deliberately said so to satirize Victoria. Since she replied, she couldn't avoid herself from being mocked.

"It means nothing. Really? Victoria, think about your daughter. Other person's husband chartered the most expensive hotel in the city for his daughter's birthday. How about your husband? Has he

accompanied your daughter on her birthday once in the three years? Oh. He could not even acknowledge his daughter. He’s such a good-for-nothing man."

lris tried her best to satirize Victoria.

Victoria's face turned pale and said, "You are talking so much, but what's the point?

It's none of your business.”

Iris snorted coldly and said, “It has nothing to do with me. But it’s your business.

You are Maximilian’s wife and Sissi’s mother, aren't you? And on the 23rd, the whole city will go to celebrate that tycoon’s daughter's birthday. How about your daughter?

She has leukemia. She is lying in the hospital and waiting to die. Ha-ha."

"Iris, shut up!" Victoria finally got angry.

She could bear her harsh words toward herself, but she would not allow Iris to abuse her daughter.

“Humph! I’m waiting for you to be disgraced on the 23rd!"

Iris said coldly. She turned around, and her bottom wiggled as she walked away.

After Iris left, Victoria's mouth trembled. Her eyes were red as she sat down and lost her wits.. She felt extremely wronged.

Iris was right. Maximilian had never accompanied Sissi to celebrate a birthday for three years.

Every year at this time, she had to suffer the ridicule and sarcasm of her relatives and most of the people in H City.

Everyone knew that Sissi was Maximilian’s daughter, but he could not acknowledge it.

It was indeed a great irony!

After gathering herself, Victoria continued to work.

Three years had passed. She would not be scared.

It was just a repetition of what had happened to her, and she was used to it.

However, Victoria still had a strong hope for Maximilian.

In the evening, when they returned home, Marcus and Laura looked very unhappy.

When they went out today, they knew about the incident of Caesar Palace Hotel, and people always dished out criticism to them no matter where they went.

They had to suffer a lot of criticism and snickering at this time every year.

So they chose to stay at home and not meet anyone around the 23rd.

Seeing Victoria and Maximilian return, Laura rushed over immediately and accused Maximilian with great dissatisfaction. She said,

"How dare you to come bake? Do you know we've been disgraced today because of you!"

"Mom, what's going on?"

Maximilian wondered and asked, and Victoria was obviously unhappy. She turned around and went into the bedroom.

Laura reprimanded Maximilian every night, and she was tired of hearing it.

"How dare you ask me? Do you know the day after tomorrow is the 23rd!"

Laura said angrily and wanted to drive Maximilian out.

Maximilian became serious. He nodded and said,

"Yeah."

The 23rd was Sissi’s birthday, and it was also the darkest moment in Victoria's life over the three years.

Laura snorted and said, "You remember it well. Then I won't talk nonsense to you. Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Victoria tomorrow to get a divorce. We can't stand for you anymore."

Maximilian was stunned and said,

"Mom, I..."

Pow! Laura slapped him and said bitterly,

"Don't call me mom. I don't want to have a loser son-in-law like you.

The day after tomorrow, our family will be disgraced by the whole city again. A father chartered the Caesar Palace Hotel for his daughter's birthday party. How about you? You are not qualified to be Sissi’s father. It's a deal. Go and divorce Victoria tomorrow!"

Maximilian lowered his head and did not know how to explain.

At the same time, the bedroom door was opened, and Victoria stood there with a tear-stained face. She cried and said stubbornly,

"Mom, I'll never divorce Maximilian! He is my husband, Sissi’s father. This is a fact that will never change. Even it’s the 23rd the day after tomorrow, so what? I'm used to it after three years.”

After saying that, Victoria looked at Maximilian with disappointment and longing. Then she turned around and was about to close the door again.

There were so many complex emotions in her eyes.

Maximilian clenched his fist and suddenly shouted in earnest,

"Victoria, believe me. On the 23rd, I will make you the focus in the whole city and the most dazzling mother. And Sissi will be a little princess that everyone envies on the 23rd!"
