Chapter 623 Shame and Anger
“I am Victoria’s husband, Maximilian. How do you do?” Maximilian said politely.
Preston smiled and said, “Mr. Maximilian looks quite…”
“Quite what?” Maximilian asked and raised his eyebrows.
“Can I tell the truth? But sometime it hurts to hear the truth, I’d better not say it. ”
If Victoria was not here, Preston would have told Maximilian bluntly that Maximilian was a loser and not
worthy of Victoria at all.
But since Victoria was here, Preston decided not to be blunt in order to leave a good impression on
Victoria.
Victoria felt Maximilian and Preston would not get on well with each other and could not help to feel a
bit headache.
She touched Maximilian’s leg lightly with her foot and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting for us.”
“There is no need to apologize, Victoria. If it weren’t for your help, I would have died long ago. I will do
anything just for you, let alone waiting for you,” Preston said and flicked his folding fan. The fan flicked
open and a Chinese ink-painting fan artwork by the famous painter revealed.
The fan was made by the precious dalbergia odorifera and painted by the famous painter. All made this
fan invaluable.
Ordinary people would treat this fan as treasure and put it on the shrine. But Preston used it as if it was
an ordinary fan. His wealth must be beyond imagination.
Victoria nced at the fan and considered it was really beautiful, but she did not know the value of it.
Preston was meant to show off in front of Victoria, but it seemed as useless as a blind man holding a
candle.
That Victoria didn’t pay any attention to his folding fan made Preston disappointed. How much he
wanted to tell her that this fan cost him 20 million dors.
“Waiter, serve the dishes now.” Preston yelled at the kitchen and then smile, “Victoria, I ask my chef to
cook you some special. Bon appétit.”
“Thank you so much! We are here to ask for your help and you even invite us for dinner. We feel so
embarrassed.” Victoria thought this Preston was over enthusiastic to her.
Even though she saved him before but still, this was just too much.
“Please don’t say that! You are my savior, nothing I do can repay you enough. What do you need me
for?”

Seeing that Preston finally turned the topic to the real business, Victoria began to talk about the matter.
“It is my husband. He has some conflicts with someone because of me, and these people are really
powerful. I am going to hold a housewarming banquet in a few days and I heard they are going to
sabotage the banquet. I am a bit worried and hope you can give me some help.”
Preston nced at Maximilian and thought, ‘A true loser; Always messes up and could not solve
anything; Has to rely on his wife to solve his troubles; This man is not worthy of being Victoria’s
husband!’
Maximilian lowered his eyes and remained silent. It was not his idea to ask for Preston’s help. But
Victoria was very so worried. That was why Maximilian agreed to find Preston for help.
But now Maximilian knew Preston was hostile toward him.
A smile appeared at the corner of Preston’s mouth and he said absentmindedly, “This is just a piece of
cake. The Richardson family is not famous amongmon people but quite well known among martial
arts members. If they are indeed Kung Fu masters, they will follow my family’s order and obey me. I
can even ask them to knelt down and apologize to you. ”
This was just bragging. There were a lot of seclusion families and the Richardson was in no way a
powerful one.
But Preston wanted to stand out in front of Victoria, therefore he had to brag.
In order to make Victoria see him in a different way and changed her impression of him being a beggar,
Preston could not help brag.
After boasting himself, Preston gave Maximilian a sideway nce and said indifferently, “But, it should
be the one who is in trouble to ask me for help. Why do you let Victoria speak for you? You should bear
the responsibility yourself. I just don’t understand how you became Victoria’s husband. ”
Maximilian said with no emotion, “I don’t need your help. Among these so called seclusion families, I
guessed the Richardson family was afraid of retaliation and had to hide unwillingly. ”
As the young master of Dragon Sect, Maximilian was quite familiar with all seclusion families within the
borders. Actually, Dragon Sect was the most powerful one among them all.
Maximilian read about the reasons for the Richardson family went hidden and he despised the family
for being a coward at that time.
After hearing what Maximilian said, Preston’s eyebrows raised and he stared at Maximilian with so
much anger in his eyes that they almost shot out fire.
Being chased by the enemies and forced to hide were the pain of the Richardson family for
generations. As the lowest level of the seclusion families, the Richardson could not even hold their
heads up.
“Do you dare to say that again? I will beat you to death!” Preston said furiously and pressed his right
hand on the table with great force.
The solid wooden table crackled and Preston’s hand sunk in slowly into the table. Soon, a palm print
was printed on the table by Preston with ease.
Preston held up his hand and looked at the palm print. He said in a deep voice, “This p was meant
for your face, if you were not Victoria’s husband.”
Victoria felt a little panicked and said hastily, “Preston, please don’t bother yourself with what
Maximilian said. He sometimes could not control himself and talked nonsense.”
She shot Maximilian a nce, indicating Maximilian to apologize.
Maximilian ignored Victoria’s hint and said with a smile, “Why do you get angry? Did I just idently
state a truth?”
“You bastard! You want a fight?” Preston stood up suddenly and posed for a fight.
