When things were done, Connor ran up to Maximilian’s side and expressed his thanks, "Mr. Lee, thank you for coming. Otherwise, I would have died here."
Connor was grateful to Maximilian for coming to his rescue. If it weren’t for Maximilian, he would have kicked the bucket today.
Maximilian smiled at Connor. "This is what I should do. After all, we’re friends."
Connor was moved. Although Maximilian regarded him as a friend, Connor was aware that Maximilian was someone beyond his reach. Everyone would envy him having the young master of the Dragon Sect as his friend.
Connor snapped his fingers and Vinnie took out a briefcase. The briefcase was opened and it was filled with cash.
Maximilian was slightly stunned, not knowing what Connor meant. Connor said with a smile, "Mr. Lee, I have nothing to pay back. Please take the money as a token of my gratitude."
Maximilian smiled helplessly, not knowing what to do with Connor. Since Connor shoved the briefcase into his arms, Maximilian could only take it.
Grace was totally stupefied at this scene. For the first time, she realized how easy it was to make so much money. If it were her, it would have taken her at least over 20 years to make so much money.
Maximilian made small talk with Connor for a while before walking out with Grace.
"A certain amount of money in the briefcase belongs to you." Maximilian said.
Grace’s face lit up and then she waved her hands. "No. You take all the money, so that I can return the favor."
"Alright. This is the extra money." After that, Maximilian took out a stack of money and thrust it into Grace’s arms. In fact, Maximilian was thinking that once Grace took the money, she wouldn’t look to him for help each time she was in trouble, so that it would save some trouble for him at least.
At the thought that she was poor, Grace didn’t refuse Maximilian and took the money.
Suddenly, Maximilian asked, "Have you got anything planned recently?"
"I don’t have many friends in Western Regions. I used to travel around with my father, and I find H City quite good. I want to live in H City." Grace smiled beautifully. The reason she wanted to live in H City was mostly because of Maximilian.
Grace had seen how powerful Maximilian’s background was, and it couldn’t be better if she had a supporter like Maximilian. Therefore, she was very grateful to Maximilian.
Maximilian approved of what she said too. If Grace started her new life in H City, Maximilian would welcome her at any time.
Grace poked her fingers together and said, "Well, can I stay at your home for some time? I’ll rent a house when I get a steady job."
"Don’t bother. You may live in my house until you buy your own." Maximilian said generously.
Suddenly, Grace was touched and held Maximilian excitedly. When the passers-by saw this scene, they mistook them as a couple. Some single passers were also enchanted by this scene.
At the thought of his beautiful wife at home, Maximilian pushed Grace away subconsciously. Her body felt so good, though. However, the moment he had this idea, Maximilian shook his head and emptied his mind. What was he thinking about?
Meanwhile, Grace thought nothing of it. Instead, she found it quite normal. Then she trotted back home with enthusiasm.
Just at this moment, Maximilian got a phone call from Jude. Jude’s tone sounded very sincere and frank on the phone. She was almost talking to Maximilian in a pleading tone.
Maximilian was a little stunned. He was not quite used to the way Jude talked to him, and Jude got straight to the point on the phone.
