Chapter 624 Money is too Vulgar


    In order to ease the tension, Victoria said hastily, “Preston, please don’t get angry with Maximilian.


    Maximilian, watch your mouth. Wee here for help.”


    Maximilian looked at Victoria speechlessly and leaned back on the chair, “I thought you are a


    gentleman, but it seems that you could not even bear a little joke. Look! You are so angry. Do you want


    me to apologize to you? I will try my best if you really want me to.”


    Victoria was so anxious that she really wanted to twist Maximilian’s ear and told him to behave well.


    Preston sneered and suddenly realized he was acting ungracefully. As a recluse master, he was


    supposed to act nonchntly.


    Did his personal image get sabotaged because of anger?


    Preston did some self-examination and said slowly, “I was joking. Victoria, please don’t take it seriously.


    I am so sorry. ”


    Victoria exhaled and rxed, as long as they wouldn’t fight. Victoria felt anxiety made her so tired that


    she whispered to Maximilian, “Please mind what you say. We are asking for help here. ”


    “OK, I’ll keep my mouth shut.” Maximilian was not interested in dealing with Preston at all. Keeping his


    mouth shut was the best he could do.


    To please Preston like an inferior was a humiliation to Maximilian.


    There were footsteps approaching. The boss of the tavern and chefs lined up and walked in, putting all


    kinds of dishes on the table.


    Vegetables, chicken, fish and beef. There was nothing special. But the exquisite appearance and the


    great smell of the dishes stirred her appetite.


    “Victoria, do have a try. The ingredients were brought from mountains by me. Those unpolluted


    ingredients are hard to find in the city. ”


    “The dishes look excellent, and they must be very delicious.” Victoria ate some green vegetables. A


    taste that never felt before filled her mouth.


    The taste was indescribable and seemed to make her whole body rxed, which was quite amazing.


    “What kind of vegetable is it? It looks ordinary, but the taste is amazing.”


    Preston said with a smile, “Just ordinary vegetable, but using traditional seeds and nonchemical


    fertilizer. Therefore the taste is way better than ordinary green vegetables.”


    He then took a scornful look at Maximilian and said, “Mr. Lee, have a try, but please be careful and


    don’t bite your tongue.”

    “I am not hungry. I ate too much at lunch. No appetite now.” Maximilian replied indifferently.


    Preston did not say anything, whatever.


    After grabbing a few bites, Preston smiled to Victoria and said, “How do you like the dishes? Quite


    unique, right?”


    “Yes, every dish is quite special. Preston, living in the mountain must like living in paradise.”


    Prestonughed and shook his head, “Exactly, a paradise. But I need a wife, who will make the


    mountain life a true paradise.”


    Maximilian gave a little chuckle, full of scorn.


    Preston gave a hard stare at Maximilian. His hatred toward Maximilian increased significantly. How


    much he wanted to kill Maximilian and took Victoria for himself.


    Victoria realized there was other meaning in Preston’s words. So she changed the subject and said,


    “You will definitely find a good match. Thanks for your help in our housewarming banquet. Let me use


    tea to propose a toast to you.”


    “You’re wee.” Preston toasted with Victoria.


    While clinking, Preston suddenly stretched out his fingers and touched the back of Victoria’s hand.


    The softness of her skin made Preston, who was single all his life, felt like his soul was about to fly to


    heaven.


    Preston imagined holding Victoria in his arms. How wonderful life would be!


    Preston, whose blood was burning, took a sideway nce at Maximilian.


    ‘Victoria should be mine! She saved my life before and I swore to marry her at that time. I should be the


    live-in son-inw of the Griffith family.’ he thought firmly.


    Preston’s eyes flickered and he lowered his eyes to hide the murderous intent.


    Maximilian could felt Preston’s intention to kill, and he raised his eyebrow raised but kept his head low


    and remained silence.


    Victoria had a bad feeling when her hand got touched by Preston. She suddenly regretted to ask


    Preston for help.


    Preston’s attitude scared Victoria. There was something wrong with him.


    Preston was definitely not a true gentleman, and he must have other purposes. What could she do


    now?


    Victoria already told Preston she needed his help. It was wired to say otherwise now.


    Victoria felt regretful.


    Maximilian reached out to hold her left hand, and gently rubbed it in his palm.


    “Victoria, have you finished? There are works you need to deal with in thepany. ”


    “I have finished. Thank you, Preston, for this excellent dinner. Maximilian and I need to go back to the


    She wanted to leave here and stay away from Preston, and just pretended that she had never met


    meet him again.


    Preston stared at Maximilian’s hand furiously and his eyes redden. Victoria’s beautiful hands belonged


    to him, not to this vulgar Maximilian.


    “Don’t rush. You did not eat much. I am thinking what present will be appropriate for your


    housewarming banquet. Money is too vulgar and I don’t know what do you like. If you like these dishes,


    I will bring you some vegetable and meat from the mountain for your housewarming banquet. Those


    who participate will never forget the delicious food they had on the banquet. ”


    Preston intended to meet Victoria again, and therefore he proposed to send her food as gift. He could


    use this as an excuse to visit Victoria and meet her family.


    He thought he could surely impressed Victoria’s parents as long as they meet him.


    Victoria wanted to refuse him but didn’t know how.
