Dragon Master novel Maximilian novel Chapter 124

Laura saw the situation and said aloud, “Don't pretend if you haven't seen it before. Especially you, Maximilian, listen carefully to Humphrey when he introduces this watch he sent us, and learn some knowledge.”

 

Maximilian glanced at Laura without any expression, and then threw his gaze at Humphrey.

 

Humphrey's eyes met Maximilian’s, and a sense of arrogance grew inside Humphrey.

 

‘came back from abroad and worked in the Wall Street. I have seen a lot more than you do!’

 

‘How can a poor guy like you compete with me? Be sensible and make way for me now.

 

Humphrey's eyes conveyed his thoughts silently.

 

While Maximilian was like a malfunctioning radio station, which failed to receive any message delivered by Humphrey's eyes. He only stared at Humphrey quietly with blank eyes.

 

Humphrey was somewhat shocked by Maximilian's eyes, thinking that he was the one in a million quality porcelain and couldn't cut Maximilian, a broken stone.

 

If this trashy Maximilian suddenly started to bite him like a mad dog, it would not be worth it.

 

“Cough, cough."

 

Humphrey calmed himself, took up the watch box and said, "This gold coin watch is made of a 20 dollar pure gold coin, which was hollowed out and finely made by the famous manufacturer Vacheron Constantin.”

 

“Gold coin watches are very popular in high society abroad. Even high officials and powerful people are wearing them, so the price is not low. I spent almost fifteen thousand dollars on this gold coin watch. I'd like to take this opportunity to give it to Marcus as his birthday present.”

 

After that, Humphrey stared at Marcus, looking complacent.

 

At this moment, everyone present was too shocked to speak!

 

Vacheron Constantin! The luxury brand!

 

Franklin gazed at the gold coin watch, his Adam's apple keeping moving up and down. It was him swallowing slobber continuously. If he didn't swallow his slobber quickly, it would stream down from the corners of his mouth.

 

“Fifteen thousand dollars for a watch. My gosh."

 

Franklin was feeling extremely jealous.

 

Hearing that this watch was worth more than fifteen thousand dollars, Marcus grinned from ear to ear.

 

“Well, it is such an expensive present, and I don’t even know how to treat you properly. If only you could be my son."

 

Marcus looked at Victoria as he spoke, his words with implications.

 

Although he didn't want his daughter to remarry, when facing a son from a rich family like Humphrey, he could be a little more flexible.

 

He couldn't go so far as to have his perfect daughter to be with a loser like Maximilian for the rest of her life!

 

Iris raised her eyebrows, her head up high, “Maximilian, look, Humphrey has sent his present. As a son-in-law, shouldn't you also send something? Don't tell me that you prepared nothing.”

 

“Well, yeah, if Iris didn't remind me, I would have forgotten about it. What are you going to give Uncle Marcus as a birthday present? Take it out and let me have a look. I also want to gain some knowledge.”

 

Franklin went on taunting at once.

 

“Humphrey is an outsider, yet he has sent such an expensive thing. As the son-in-law, if you send something worse than his, just stop being the son-in-law any more. Someone else could replace your position ASAP"

 

Meanwhile, Andrew Griffith also chipped in.

 

He had said nothing from the beginning, as he had been holding a grudge against the second branch of the Griffith Family due to the cooperation with the Graham Group.

 

But now, he really couldn't help taunting Maximilian.

 

After all, Maximilian had been so domineering last time, not caring about him at all!

 

“Well, judging from his lifeless face, he can’t be preparing anything. Maybe he is here for a free meal.”

 

The hostess of the third branch of the Griffith Family, i.e. the wife of Darian Griffith, Kathy, also jeered at Maximilian at this moment.

 

Listening to the fleer coming from the relatives and friends of the Griffith Family, Maximilian put his hand into the pocket, and touched the hard wooden box in it.

 

That was something the president of the Parker Trading Group, Tristan Parker, had sent him before! It was said that it was invaluable.
