Samuel and the others stared at Maximilian in astonishment. They were stunned for a while and then snorted in disdain.
"Loser, you are not awake yet, are you? Are you still dreaming? You will take care of Boss Mccarthy? How? I’m afraid you are not even able to see Boss Mccarthy!" Franklin said contemptuously.
Iris stared at Maximilian and said coldly, "Are you thinking about beating Boss Mccarthy up? You are too naive. I am quite sure. Next time, before you can even reach Boss Mccarthy, you will be battered."
Andrew muttered to himself and then said, "It was your family who stirred up the trouble, and you should take care of it, no matter for emotional motives or other reasons. If you sort it out, that will be fine. If not, humph, be ready to be kicked out of the house!"
Samuel nodded slightly, approving of Andrew’s idea.
"Andrew is right. It was you who stirred up the trouble. Marcus, sort it out with your family. If you can’t, you guys will no longer belong to the Griffith family."
"Dad! You… Well…"
Marcus was heartbroken. It didn’t occur to him that Samuel would be deluded by Andrew and Darian, and thus say such ruthless words.
"I’m already giving you a special treatment by doing this. Stop standing here like a fool. Take your loser son-in-law with you and scram now!"
Marcus heaved a sigh, turned around in disappointment and left with Maximilian, Victoria and Laura.
"Bah!" Franklin spat at Maximilian’s back and said scornfully, "Who are you pretending to be? I’ll just see how you will take care of Boss Mccarthy. You loser can only make trouble!"
On their way back, Marcus was driving the car in low spirits. He felt extremely depressed.
Laura felt that a fire was smouldering inside her.
Laura flew into a rage at once when she saw Maximilian on the backseat in the rearview mirror.
"Maximilian, loser, why did you beat Boss Mccarthy up for nothing? Even if you went to save Victoria, you didn’t have to beat him up. You could have just rushed in and taken Victoria out! Why would you exercise your authority outside home? Do you really think you are some sort of big fish?"
"Mom, don’t talk to him like this." Victoria defended Maximilian.
"Keep your mouth shut." Laura scolded Victoria and then went on scolding Maximilian, "Did you have your head kicked by a donkey? Do you think you can push yourself forward by fighting with people? Do you think you are no longer a loser when you beat someone up? Mindless violence is just the act of losers!"
"If you hadn’t beaten Boss Mccarthy up, would our family have been kicked out of the business? If we hadn’t been put on the blacklist, would we have been humiliated by Samuel? You have destroyed my family, loser! A loser will always destroy rather than accomplish things!" Laura was getting angrier.
Maximilian remained silent. Victoria grabbed his hand and held it gently. Maximilian was touched, and pinched back Victoria’s soft hand.
"Victoria, don’t worry. Go back and have a rest." Maximilian said affectionately.
Victoria’s heart missed a beat. She said nervously, "What are you going to do? It’s late and we’d better go home."
"Home? Whose home is he going? This loser is not qualified to go home! This loser should run his own course outside home! Didn’t he mention that he could take care of Boss Mccarthy? Then let him do it. Let’s see how competent he is. If you can’t deal with this, then don’t ever go in the door of our house, loser!" Laura roared and then yelled at Marcus, "Why are you still driving? Stop! Let this loser get off and scram. Let him get off and leave him here. He’d better die outside and never come back."
Marcus stopped the car quietly. Maximilian patted Victoria’s hand, opened the car door and got off the car.
"Maximilian… Don’t… Don’t horse around." Victoria warned him anxiously.
