Who was Fletcher Russell?
The Griffiths and their friends did not know.
And the only one that knew him was Humphrey.
However, Humphrey forgot to introduce Fletcher because he was concentrated on earning his face. At that moment, he had no way to withdraw due to their words.
Facing the Griffiths who he needed to please and Fletcher who was fierce and cruel, Humphrey thought his life suddenly turned tough.
But, he must be up to that. As long as he could marry Victoria, everything he did would be worthwhile.
When Humphrey finished organizing his words and was about to make intercession, Franklin stood up and said smugly,
“Who's the fucking chairman? Now can everyone be a chairman? I own lots of shell in various corporations and have a dozen titles as chairmen. Could I be admired?”
A great burst of laughter went up from the Griffiths and their friends, followed by sarcasm.
Victoria frowned and differed with her relatives and friends on their nasty words, but she could not say something to stop their sarcastic remarks.
Maximilian signed dully and shook his head slightly.
“What are you thinking about?” Victoria asked in a low voice.
“I'am thinking what's in their minds. Why do they mock other people so frantically? One must be a big shot when he dares to ask for the top level private room in Lasdun, Maximilian said indifferently.
“Hahaha..”
Iris laughed and looked at Maximilian with distain. Then, she said, “A useless man can never be useful. Are you frightened?
You are such a coward. Take it easy.
We are backed by Humphrey and no one in H City can outdo him:
“Do you have any sense of shame? You are a wimp! If the room was changed now, your father-in-law would lose face. Are you out of your mind? We are all helping you. Don't be so ungrateful, damn!” said Franklin sternly.
Fletcher's face looked even worse with his hands clenched into fists, which apparently showed his fury.
Humphrey was muddled, perplexedly looking at Fletcher's eyes which were gradually filled with anger.
He cried to himself secretly, “lam fucking trapped here and has no way to escape now”
“What's up? Fletcher, haven't you finished the arrangement?” said an august voice.
Suddenly, Fletcher was panic and thought to himself, “Why did his chairman arrive here earlier? He was overconfident and should have directly showed his identity to the Griffiths . Turning around in a hurry, Fletcher bowed and said? Mr. Jonathan, I've got a little problem here, and it will be solved in a minute”
Humphrey looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw Jonathan approaching accompanied with a group of people. He was about to break down.
He might be able to talk with Fletcher, but he fell far behind with Jonathan in terms of both social status and age.
“Mr. Jonathan, nice to meet you. I’m..”
Fletcher stopped Humphrey and pushed him into the private room with eyes fixed on him. Then Fletcher threatened, “Our chairman has arrived and you are supposed to pay attention to your mouths. If you said something unpleasant, do not complain to me later”
Victoria looked at Maximilian with eyebrows furrowed and said unhappily, “How can you laugh at this critical moment?”
“Seeking happiness in bitterness, and I will stand up later on”
Maximilian said in a low voice.
“You? He is Fletcher, the tiger of H City and Jonathan, the chairman of Dyson Group. Do not make any mess or things will end up in disaster”
Victoria gave Maximilian a cold stare and didn’t take his words seriously.
Although they did something wrong, they might be able to solve it peacefully. As long as they changed the room and apologized to Jonathan, he, as a big figure would forgive them.
That was not only Victoria's thought, but also the common thought for everyone present, surely including Humphrey.
Humphrey was suffering a lot and felt that his internal organs were on fire when Jonathan appeared.
If the fire went on, he would vomit blood and die.
His straightened back suddenly bent to 120 degrees and his pride dropped into the dust with only humbleness left.
Humphrey with his back bent like a shrimp said with great respect, “We didn’t know that you want to use the private room. There must be some misunderstandings. If we knew it earlier, the room would have already been changed. We ask for your forgiveness. It is our supreme honor to change the room for you”
At that moment, Humphrey threw away all his dignity. As long as he could leave the room safely, he could abandon everything.
“Uh-huh- With his hands behind his back and a fat belly, Jonathan snorted for quite a long time with arrogance. He seemed to be dissatisfied.
