Victoria’s heart sank because she had already figured out what Eduard was going to do. He intended to humiliate Maximilian in public in the name of negotiation.
"Maximilian doesn’t feel well today. He has to rest at home." Victoria made an excuse.
"What the fuck? When has that loser become so delicate? And he has to rest at home? I don’t even have the time to rest at home. How dare he?"
"That loser has to crawl here if necessary. Your family can’t afford to delay our negotiation with Mr. Eduard!"
"Call him now. If you don’t, we will call him. I’m sure that loser will run over here faster than a dog, if he learns that something happened to you."
The Griffith family taunted, leaving Victoria no pride.
Victoria knew she alone was unable to fight against them all. Even if she didn’t call Maximilian, the others would look for an excuse to make him come over.
Helpless, Victoria took out her phone and dialed Maximilian’s number. "Eduard is going to our company to discuss about a potential cooperation. He asked you to be here, though I don’t think you have to."
Hearing Victoria, Andrew got so angry that he smashed the cup and roared, "Victoria! If you fail to have that loser come over today, we won’t allow you to get away with it!"
Hearing Andrew roaring, Maximilian smiled and said to Victoria, "Hold on. I will be there in a minute."
"But…"
"There’s no but. It’s just Eduard. There’s nothing to be afraid of." Maximilian hung up and gave a sneer.
After getting changed, Maximilian went out in a rush. On his way, he got a phone call from Connor.
"Mr. Lee, those real estate tycoons of Geekoo went to Wyatt and asked him to invite me to be the mediator. They want to make an apology to you."
"Make an apology? If they want to make an apology, they should come themselves." Maximilian said flatly.
Connor heaved a sigh and then said, "But they don’t know what kind of apology suits you best. So, what’s your opinion?"
"Do you remember Eduard?"
This man suddenly popped into Maximilian’s head.
"I do. I have done a background check on him. He is the president of Dunhill Group. Is that guy plotting something against you?" Connor’s conjecture was infinitely approaching the truth.
"He is going to discuss a cooperation with the Griffith family in a while. If those guys of Geekoo have some sense, they naturally know what to do."
Maximilian hung up. Connor thought for a while and got a rough idea about what Maximilian was thinking, so he picked up his phone and called Wyatt.
Meanwhile, Wyatt was with Corey and the others. When Wyatt’s phone rang, Corey and the others got nervous immediately.
Wyatt answered the phone, talked for a while and hung up before saying, "The president of Dunhill Group doesn’t like Mr. Lee that much. Now the president of Dunhill Group is about to start a cooperative project with the Griffith family. Connor assumed he wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Mr. Lee, which is your chance to apologize."
Astonished, Corey and the others had never expected that there would be a president of an internationally well-known company showing up.
"Fine."
Wyatt took up his phone and made several phone calls before he said with a smile, "You guys are so lucky. The arrival of the president of Dunhill Group has drawn his rival’s attention. I have already contacted his competitor, Fraser pharmaceutical Group. Their CEO is about to arrive at H City soon. Let’s go over now to greet him, so we can talk it over on the way."
Corey and the others stood up at once. They asked people to arrange cars for them to get ready for greeting the CEO of Fraser pharmaceutical Group.
When passing by Zakariya, Corey kicked him on the shin. "What are you waiting for? Leave with us now. Kowtow and apologize to Mr. Lee."
"We have kowtowed and apologized, twice." Zakariya even wanted to cry. Words failed to describe how regretful he was now.
"Fuck! Haven’t you seen what happened to Frankie at last? Twice is far from enough. If Mr. Lee doesn’t get satisfied this time, just kneel down in front of him forever!"
Zakariya and the other rich second-generation didn’t dare to talk. They got up in haste and followed their fathers.
Maximilian arrived at the meeting room of the company in a rush.
Franklin smiled complacently and said, "Well, aren’t you fast? You indeed are a loser who grovels to Victoria every day. Are you afraid that something would happen to her? Hahaha."
"The president of Dunhill will arrive soon to discuss about the cooperation with us. Behave yourself, loser. Don’t stir up trouble again!" Andrew scolded.
Maximilian ignored Andrew and Franklin, walked straight up to Victoria’s side and sat down before he smiled and said, "Don’t worry. Everything will be OK as long as I’m here."
"You are useless. All you know is to stir up trouble! Keep your loser on a tight leash, Victoria. If you ruin President Eduard’s mood, your whole family can just wait for death!" Franklin rebuked angrily in a cold voice.
