Chapter 10 Pride and Honor
The appearance of Maximilian made the faces of all members of Griffith in the conference room
ghastly.
"Maximilian? How did you get in here? Don''t you know where this is?
Get the hell out of here right now!"
Franklin instantly pointed at Maximilian and shouted angrily.
This piece of shit who was nothing was unqualified to be in the Griffithpany!
Even less qualified to be in this room!
"How did he, the wimp, get in here. Isn''t it a disgrace?"
"Yeah, he should let Victoria agree it. He is actually getting Victoria into trouble. Such a stupid man.”
"How dare he boss around here."
For a while, rtives of Griffith as well as thepany''s senior executives were finding fault with
Maximilian in the conference room and their words were filled with contempt and disdain.
"Why are you here?" Victoria was a bit panicked at the moment, but she was even more angry than
that. Maximilian shouldn''t havee.
However, he wore a gentle smile as he walked towards Victoria.
He had never given her anything and never helped her during the past four years.
Everyone despised him, while Victoria was the only one who stayed by his side.
Even if Victoria was harsh with him and was angry with him, Maximilian didn''t take it seriously.
Because Victoria was his wife, who was also his past and future.
He used to be useless and put Victoria under attack.
He would inherit the Dragon Sect and give Victoria a lifetime prosperity.
Maximilian stepped forward and stood beside Victoria, saying seriously,
"Victoria, promise him the coboration. It would be yours!"
Looking at Maximilian’s determined eyes, Victoria was into a trance for a while. She felt it seemed that
Maximilian had really changed and what he said woulde true.
“Haha! It''s a real cracker. What did you say?
Maximilian, what do you think this ce is?
This is the Griffithpany. You can''t just bber on about here!
Get the hell out of here!"
Franklin said angrily.
Maximilian never had a ce in the Griffith family. How dare hee to thepany and tell them
what to do?
"Grandpa, look at Maximilian! He dares to meddle in the affairs of our Griffithpany.’
Iris also wore a cold face at the moment and she would like to kill Maximilian with her nted ck
eyes.
Samuel''s face got ghastly and he looked at Maximilian with great displeasure as he said in a cold
voice,
"Get out!"
As aman outside their family, who had disgraced Griffith in H City should not meddle in the affairs of the
Griffithpany.
What was his intention? Want to encroach on the assets of the Griffiths?
However, Maximilian ignored Samuel, but he looked at Victoria seriously, holding her delicate hand and
saying, "Trust me."
It was his words that made Victoria have an impulse to turn around and she said to Samuel,
"Grandpa, I promise you."
Saying that, she turned around and stared at Franklin with an arrogant and icy eyes.
"Franklin, don''t you just want to drive me out of Yunsheng Pharmaceutical? Fine, I promise you. If I
cant get the cooperation of Graham Group, I will resign!"
"Victoria, think it carefully. It can be about your own development, as well as the development of our
Griffith in the next few years."
Samuel said,
Victoria responded with determination,''I''ve made the decision."
Hearing her words, a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of Franklin''s mouth as he said,
"Well. Victoria, you have promised and everyone present today can testify for you. Then don''t back
out.”
"Certainly not. But if I take the cooperation with Graham Group, what about you, Franklin?"
Victoria asked suddenly, as if she was confident.
She didn''t know why she suddenly said that. Perhaps it was the courage and confidence that
Maximilian had given her.
One must live with dignity.
"As long as you can take the cooperation with Graham Group, I won''tpete with you the position of
vice president in thepany, and you just take it!"
Franklinughed coldly, and his eyes were full of tease.
She just asked for the moon that she should want to take the cooperation of Graham Group!
“OK!” Victoria agreed, then she held Maximilian and left the conference room directly.
It was only after they had left that a heated discussion broke out in the room.
“Victoria really overestimated her strength that she wants to cooperate with Graham Group. I’m afraid
that she will have to resign this time.’
"It is because of Maximilian who interferes with it. What a good husband he is."
"He is just a god-for-nothing who thinks he''s capable of something. I''d like to see how he can help
Victoria get the contract."
Samuel wore a cold face, and then he knocked the cane in his hand and said, "All right, the meeting is
over!’
Victoria and Maximilian returned home.
Laura, Maximilian’s mother-inw, suddenly rushed up and gave him a p, scolding him,
“Why did you go to the office today? And how dare you dare make agree to a bet with Franklin? You''re
pushing Victoria into the fire!"
Maximilian froze and was just about to open his mouth to exin, when Laura continued to chastise
him, "Get out."
Maximilian had no way but went into the kitchen to clean up the dishes.
Victoria looked at Maximilian''s forlorn back and grumble.
"Mom, what are you doing? It was me who agreed to it, and it has nothing to do with Maximilian."

"How it''s possible? Do you think I''m stupid? I''ve heard all about it that he barged into the conference
room and made you Say yes, and now you''re defending him?"
Laura was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to smack Maximilian!
Looking at him busy in the kitchen. Yuck, a lifelong worthless crap!
Are you out of your mind? How dare you follow the advice of that punk!”
Laura reprimanded, poking Victoria''s forehead.
Victoria was also sad. She was just so angry at that moment, and Maximilian encouraged her to do so,
so she had agreed.
But, now after thinking it over, she found that it waspletely self-defeating.
How could Graham Group possibly work with Griffith?
"Mom, please leave me alone for a minute.”
Victoria went into the bedroom and snapped the door.
Laura stomped her foot in anger. red at Marcus who was still reading the newspaper on the sofa,
she scolded, "You just have been reading newspaper all the day. Our daughter is about to be thrown
out of thepany and our family will be poor soon!"
Marcus moaned and said,
"Don''t be so anxious. Things will eventually sort themselves out. Let the young people settle their own
affairs. Besides, it''s not likely that our daughter can''t live without thepany."
"What are you babbling about? Could it be that you don''t want the old man''s family fortune anymore?"
When Laura heard this, she became anxious and angry, "Marcus, we''ve been married for so many
years and all we have is this small house with just three rooms. While both your elder and younger
brothers live in vis!
How could you are like the wimp Maximilian, who don''t fight for anything. It really pisses me off!"
After saying that, Laura went up to hit him, and Marcus had to passively defend, then he said, "Stop it!
I''m wrong, is that okay?"
A momentter, Maximilian walked into the bedroom holding the water for washing feet. Looking at
Victoria lying on the bed, he said softly,
"Victoria, I''ve got hot water for you."
Victoria got up, whose eyes were red. She looked at Maximilian, and asked seriously,
"Maximilian, you lied to me today in the conference room with that words, didn''t you? What will Sissy
do if I don''t have a job? What about your mother?"
Victoria''s eyes were already clouded with tears.
She hated herself for believing in Maximilian''s words, and now, it was toote to regret.
Hearing those words, Maximilian felt warmed.
It turned out that she had always remembered his mother, and she was still as kind as ever.
His mother, who had always been in poor health, spent a lot of money, which was given by the Griffiths.
Now, with his mother running a small business at their old house, Maximilian would go back every few
days to visit his mother.
While thinking, Maximilian helped Victoria remove her shoes and socks, cupped her feet which were
like white jade, dipped them into the water, and said softly,
"Victoria, I never lie to you. You''ll get the contract."
When he said this, an iparably powerful aura surged out of him. He looked at Victoria seriously,
wiping away the teardrops from the corners of her eyes.
"Victoria, it’s my fault that I make you suffer a lot in the past. But please believe me. I won''t make it
happen in the future, never again."
"I''ll give you, and Sissy, a bright future that everyone will envy!"
"At that time, everyone in H City will be proud and honored that you are my wife!"
