Chapter 90 A Phone Call


    "This... this your husband?" The fat middle-aged man looked at Maxwell with a gleam of disbelief. He


    could not believe that he was Harriet''s husband.


    Maxwell was a little upset. ''Damn it. What''s wrong with me? Didn''t I deserve Harriet?'' thought Maxwell.


    In what field was he not as good as other? Status or wealth?


    "Yes," Harriet smiled and nodded.


    "What did your husband do?" The middle-aged fat manughed and asked.


    "He works for mypany," Harriet smiled.


    "Working for you?" The middle-aged manughed, and he looked at Maxwell with disdain. "Harriet, it


    seems that you are the most sessful of us, and you let your husband work for you. We can''t do


    that."


    Harriet pressed her red lips together and smiled faintly, "Mr. Thomas must be joking."


    Mr. Thomas nced at Maxwell, then said, "I have a suggestion, Harriet. I wonder if you''d like to hear


    it."


    "Yes, please," Harriet said.


    "I prepare to set up a branch in Europe, but I am in short of a confidant to be the security captain. Your


    husband is strong, and he''s suitable for this job. I can give him a million-annual sry," Mr. Thomas


    said. Maxwell looked cold. He knew Mr. Thomas was trying to inste him!


    What Mr. Thomas meant was that he thought Maxwell was only fitted to be a security captain.


    "Thank you for your kindness. My husband is veryfortable now and doesn''t like to work overseas."

    Harriet declined, then reached out and took Maxwell''s arm.


    After a few more chats with Mr. Thomas, a figure suddenly walked quickly onto the stage.


    Soon the hall fell silent, and nces were cast on the stage.


    White spotlights shone on the figure. The lights around the banquet hall dimmed down, and the figure


    on the stage became the focus of the audience.


    Harriet looked calm, but there were mixed feelings in her eyes.


    "Thank you foring to today''s party. We haven''t seen each other for many years, but we feel like old


    friends... Those present were all former ssmates, and a few, for some reason, were absent. In


    today''s ssmate party, we can speak freely, and recalled the good memory of those days..." On the


    stage, the man spoke; but off stage, only Maxwell noticed that Harriet trembled slightly.


    After the brief introduction, the party began!


    The guests took their seats one by one. The banquet hall was grand, with a band ying music on


    both sides of the stage.


    Maxwell and Harriet sat down by a table.


    Harriet looked rarely low. Maxwell nced at Harriet and said, "You bring me with you here because of


    him?"


    "How did you know that?" Harriet was stunned.


    "If you once loved a man deeply, it is impossible to pretend nothing has happened and stayposed


    when you see him again," Maxwell said. He could tell at first nce that Harriet was in a very low mood


    when the man first appeared.


    "Nothing can be hidden from you." Harriet sighed, "We used to be lovers, but his family was not


    wealthy at that time. Then he became a son-inw in a rich family and became the CEO of an


    overseas group. I wanted to move on, so I went to Penn Business School and founded apany.


    Greta asked me toe back a moment ago, so I came back."


    "Oh, he lives better-off than me." Maxwell nced over his shoulder at the man on the stage, then


    pursed his lips.


    "Of course, he lives better than you. He married to a rich and beautiful woman, and he himself is


    intelligent and handsome, not like you, angering Greta every day." Harrietughed as she saw Maxwell


    was so jealous.


    "Greta cares about me so she will scold me when I make mistake," Maxwell exined.


    Harriet smiled, ignored Maxwell, and had dinner.


    "You could not havee today. If you had note, nothing will happen," Maxwell said.


    "No, I muste. I want to show him that I live very well, and I didn''t feel bad when he left me. Instead,


    I live better without him," said Harriet firmly.


    Maxwell gave Harriet a deep look and said nothing more.


    "Here hees." Harriet''s beautiful eyes looked in a direction, with mixed feelings in her eyes.


    Maxwell was stunned. A handsome middle-aged man was walking quickly towards Maxwell and


    Harriet.


    "Harriet..." The middle-aged man slowed down his steps, looking at Harriet.


    Harriet trembled a bit, slowly got up, and looked to the middle-aged man, "Wisely, so d to see you


    again after so many years."


    "Yes, we haven''t seen for a long time. How have you been?" Wisely Shawn nodded and asked.


    "I''m fine. I live a great life with my husband." Harriet took Maxwell''s arm.


    "Your husband?" Wisely frowned and nced at Maxwell. "Harriet," he said, "it seems that your taste


    has degraded a lot. How can you find such a man as your husband?"


    "He''s nice and down-to-earth. I appreciate him," Harriet said.


    Wisely smiled and raised his ss to Maxwell. "Brother, I hope you can take good care of her. She has


    stomach illness. And cook more nutrient food for her."


    Wisely voice was not small, attracting the attention of the surrounding people who all knew that Harriet


    and Wisely had been in a rtionship. Now, the old lovers met each other. There was ambiguity


    between them. A good y was already on.


    Maxwell looked at Wisely calmly. When Wisely finished, Maxwell said quietly, "Her stomach illness has


    been cured. Mind your own business."


    The atmosphere was suddenly cooled down. Wisely looked at Maxwell sullenly, "Bro, I heard that you


    work in Harriet''spany. You are her subordinate, and I am talking with your boss. Dopany. You


    think it proper for a subordinate to interrupt?"


    "In other words," Maxwell retorted with a sneer, "I''m her man. Then with what identity are you talking to


    her? A kept man?"


    Wisely was gloomy. The wine ss in the hands slipped down and fell on the ground. The crisp sound


    silenced the liveliness...


    "Do you know who you''re talking to?" Wisely said lightly, with chill in his voice.


    "Wisely, what do you want?" "Harriet hardened her voice.


    "I''m just wondering why did your husband have the confidence to say this to me..." Wisely sneered,


    "Someone told me that your husband is only in charge of the warehouse, so who is the real kept man?"


    "Who''s in charge of the warehouse? You believe in what a dog''s bark? Are you a dog too?" Maxwell


    pricked his ear. "You don''t even know how much money I have. Where do you have the guts to call me


    a kept man?"


    Maxwell''s words seemed to provoke Wisely, whose face turned ferocious. "So, you want topete


    with me in wealth? How much money do you have? I don''t think you can earn a million dors a year.


    You are only qualified to speak to man when you stop working for Harriet!"


    The people present were shocked. Mr. Thomas stood up andughed, "Do you know that Mr. Shawn is


    the most excellent one in our ss? He is among the youngest generation of CEOs, and an overseas


    business elite. You will never know his annual sry. You want to be richer than him? What a joke!"


    Hearing that, a lot of people were gossiping and their sarcastic eyes fell on Maxwell. Wisely said with a


    ferocious smile, "What qualification do you have to intervene in the affairs of Harriet and me? I had


    wanted to offer you the position of a security director for Harriet''s sake, so that you can be more


    confident when you are with Harriet. But now it seems that you are not even qualified to enter my


    Wisely''s voice was very loud, and it reached Harriet''s ears clearly. Harriet, with an angry look, stared at


    Wisely and said, "Wisely, don''t go too far."


    But Wisely ignored Harriet and stared at Maxwell closely, "In terms of status and wealth, you are not as


    good as me... You don''t deserve talking to me."


    What Wisely said was like a p in Maxwell''s face!


    The people looked at Maxwell with a yful look. In their eyes, Maxwell was just seeking death when


    he dared to go against Wisely.


    But out of everyone''s surprise, Maxwell stared at Wisely and suddenly asked, "Do you want topare


    with me in terms of status with wealth?"


    Maxwell''s eyes were full of deep disdain and contempt. No one present knew that how much Maxwell


    despised Wisely.


    "Of course. Can you beat me? Don''t humiliate yourself." Wisely sneered, "By the way, how much is


    your sry a month?"


    "Twenty thousand." When Maxwell spoke, everyoneughed.


    "Harriet, I didn''t expect that you were with someone like him. Everyone in the room is paid more than


    he is!" Wisely proudly sorted out his suit, walked up to Maxwell, and said, "You don''t deserve to be with


    Harriet. The money I can make in a day is enough to burn you out for months. What qualifications do


    you have topare with me!?"


    Wisely slowly turned around when he finished. Suddenly, Maxwell''s mobile phone rang!


    "I don''t need topete. A phone call is enough to deal with you," smiled Maxwell.
