Chapter 553 Making Profits at Other’s Cost


    Samuel’s words were so serious that Marcus was extremely uneasy.


    “Father, it’s not like that. Even if Victoria is the president, she’s still your granddaughter.”


    “Hump!” Samuel snorted then he said with his eyes closed, “She has forgotten the Griffith family and


    our family business after she became the president and had a good life! You think that you have


    nothing to do with our family business since you have sold your shares?”


    “Well, Victoria is not in office in the family business, so she can’t get involved in it even if she wants to.”


    Marcus said resignedly.


    Maximilian squinted, realizing they were acting. They may have nned to gain some benefits from


    Topyuan Group.


    Andrew said discontentedly, “Marcus, stop talking nonsense. The order of our family business has


    dropped greatly after Victoria left. It must have something to do with your daughter!”


    “I was confused why you were so straightforward when you sold your shares. It seems that you have


    found a cash cow and n to ruin our family business after leaving, so you can show off in front of us.”


    Darian added.


    After hearing the rebuke of Andrew and Darian, Marcus didn’t know how to exin to them. They were


    prejudiced against him. So they wouldn’t believe it no matter what Marcus said. Besides, Marcus knew


    it was not the key point. They talked about these things just as an excuse.


    “Why don’t you say something? Dare you not admit it? How despicable of you to do so? How could you


    face our father and our ancestors after ruining the business of Griffith group?” Andrew roared angrily.


    Marcus’s face turned pale and he kept wiping the sweat on his forehead.


    “No, we didn’t do anything wrong to our family. Please trust us, father.”


    “Marcus, I don’t want to say something useless. Since Victoria is capable, just ask her to give our


    family business some help. Topyuan Group is also in the medicine business, right? Let Topyuan Group


    give some orders to ourpany.” Samuel finally spoke out his purpose.


    With a wry smile, Marcus said with difficulties, “Victoria is just a president and she has just taken office.


    She can’t do it like this. The most important thing is that Victoria is not the only one in charge of the


    “Are you trying to refuse it? Are you going to stand by since you know our family business is in danger?


    How could I have an ungrateful son like you?”


    Samuel was furious, as if he was going to strangle Marcus to death.


    Marcus turned his head hastily and looked at Maximilian, hoping that Maximilian would help him out.


    “Grandpa, Uncle Andrew and Uncle Darian, you may have some misunderstandings. Although


    Topyuan Group is engaged in the pharmaceutical industry, its main products have not yet been


    developed, that is to say, Topyuan Group currently has only a framework.”


    Samuel and the other two frowned and looked at Maximilian with puzzlement.


    Maximilian continued, “What’s more, as far as I know, the product Topyuan Group is going tounch is


    proprietary medicine, which has nothing to do with what Griffith group produces. How could we ce


    an order to your factory?”


    “Even if Victoria is the president, she has the power and decides to help you, the help she could offer


    has to be within a certain scope. In light of current situation, there is no way to offer help to our family


    business.”


    After Maximilian said these, the three was still angry, but they had no reason to refute Maximilian.


    Feeling disgraced, Samuel red at Andrew andined that Andrew didn’t make the situation


    clear.


    Andrew gritted his teeth and said, “That’s what you say! Even though you are right, Topyuan Group can


    underwrite the products of ourpany to help our family!”


    “That’s not helping our family, but benefiting our family at the cost of Topyuan’ interests. In that case,


    I’m afraid Victoria would be ousted in less than a month. Is this what you want?” Maximilian asked.


    Andrew’s cheek twitched, then he red at Maximilian, “Don’t be rmist! You can procure our


    products and sell them out with higher price, then you can make profits. So that’s not benefiting us at


    the expense of others, but help Victoria’s performance in Topyuan Group!”


    Samuel nodded to agree with Andrew.


    “Andrew is right on this. As long as you sell the products procured by our family business to make


    profits, it’s beneficial for us all.”


    “Ah!” Maximilian sneered and looked at the three with disdain. “It seems you still don’t know why your


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    orders have declined sharply. Just look at your products. Considering your out-dated technology and


    production line, the high cost as well as products with high price and poor quality, how could your


    “Don’t say that the previous performance is good, since those orders are what I won over for you! I


    didn’t want Victoria to work so hard, so I made use of some connections and asked Wilfred to arrange


    for someone to sign orders with you and purchase your products!”


    After Maximilian finished talking, everyone present at the room was dumbfounded.


    There were clear that the products produced by their family enterprises were of poor quality and high


    price, hence its poor marketpetitiveness. They had thought that Victoria could get the orders


    because she pleased other bosses with her beauty.


    But what Maximilian said just now was beyond their expectation.


    “You are talking nonsense! You are just a worthless wretch. It can’t have something to do with you! Do


    you think who Wilfred is? You think you can ask him to do anything for you? Stop daydreaming here!”


    Andrew pointed to Maximilian’s nose and growled, feeling that Maximilian was telling a lie.


    Maximilian smiled thinly, and then shook his head and said, “You can call the clients who have


    canceled the order in the past two days, and ask them why they signed the contract with Griffith group.


    You can see if they were ordered by Wilfred to do so. Then you’ll know everything.”


    Seeing Maximilian’s calm manner, Samuel frowned and almost believed what he said.


    Samuel was an old man who had experienced a lot, so he could figure out whether Maximilian was


    telling a lie or not in some degree. Samuel believed Maximilian didn’t lie by seeing that Maximilian was


    calm and rxed.


    “Then what’s the rtionship between you and Wilfred? Why did he follow what you said? Samuel


    asked.
