The middle-aged belle could not stand it anymore. She thought that Aescul was right and Maximilian was wrong. She thought that according to their identities, Aescul was much better than Maximilian.
She did not hesitate to support Aescul and defended him, "You are too hard. I think you are kind, but you’ve pinched his hand so hard."
Hearing that, Maximilian immediately laughed. Why did they not feel embarrassed when saying so? It actually was Aescul who pinched hard.
The middle-aged belle did not care about other things. She kept defending Aescul and said to him, "Aescul, are you okay? I’ll help you."
Jude also saw what had happened clearly. It was Aescul who pinched Maximilian’s hand hard while Maximilian was just fighting back. She thought that her mother was too partial in doing so.
Aescul's mouth rose. With the support of Jude’s mother, he immediately began to pretend to be hurt. He said, "Oh, I’m injured. It hurts too much."
Seeing that, the middle-aged woman was frightened. Now Aescul was qualified son-in-law and her cash cow. He could not be hurt.
She became more hostile to Maximilian and shouted at him, "You are too violent. Why does Jude like you? Now get out of here."
Maximilian was appalled and did not expect himself to be the one who was driven out. He felt helpless in his heart.
But since the middle-aged belle said so, he should not stay here. After all, he knew that he had to be humble in an inferior situation.
Jude stood at the door and shook her head at Maximilian. She said with her brows wrinkled, "Mom, you’ve gone too far. He is my friend and a guest. Why do you treat him like this? And you have nothing to do with what they did."
The middle-aged belle was suddenly speechless. She faltered for a while and said, "I just speak out against injustice."
"Aescul, I also notice your slight movement just now. You are the one who offended first. He just passively counterattacked. You deserve it."Jude said tonelessly.
Hearing that, Aescul did not dare to refute Jude, so he rubbed his hands and said, "You are right. You are right. I’ll listen to you"
Jude was disgusted with Aescul's humble behavior in front of her. In fact, he was ignorant and self-conceit. She disliked such a person.
Aescul thought that Jude would definitely think that he was tolerant if he let it go. Then he immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it. It's okay."
In fact, he was unwilling to give in. He felt extremely uncomfortable to be disgraced in front of his beloved girl and his would-be mother-in-law. He looked at Maximilian coldly and thought that it was all Maximilian’s fault.
Aescul vowed to save his face and make Maximilian go out in shame. Suddenly his eyes rolled and seemed to think of something. He sneered at Maximilian, "What gift do you bring today?"
Hearing Aescul’s direct question, Maximilian said faintly, "I don’t know it’s her birthday today, so I don’t bring any gifts."
Aescul took the opportunity to ridicule Maximilian, "I think you deliberately came to make Auntie unhappy. Even if you don’t know the birthday, you should bring some gifts for the first time to visit them."
If Maximilian gave her gifts, she would gladly accept them. But she did not care about Aescul’s gifts and thought that he was deliberately showing off.
"Oh, it costs a lot. Aescul, you are worthy of the reputation in H City. I'm afraid others cannot afford these things for a lifetime." The middle-aged belle kept praising Aescul and winking at her daughter, hoping that she could be Aescul’s girlfriend.
With such a son-in-law like Aescul, she would not have to worry about her rich life in the future, and she could go wherever she wanted.
Maximilian looked at the gifts and felt no emotional fluctuation. Generally, rich people liked to keep a low profile, while high-profile people end up badly. Aescul had shown off for a long time.
At this time, Aescul did not forget to raise his neck. He looked at Maximilian with a proud expression and laughed at Maximilian, "Well, you can’t afford any of these famous brand things in your life."
Maximilian smiled and said nothing. Aescul thought that Maximilian forced a smile. He then ridiculed, "What’s your job now?"
Although the middle-aged man did not like Aescul, he still appreciated Aescul more than Maximilian who looked like an ordinary person.
So he replied first, "He’s only a subordinate of Jude now."
What he said indicated his extreme contempt for Maximilian.
Jude gave her father a supercilious look. She knew that Maximilian's identity was definitely higher than anyone present here. After all, he was a friend of Mr. Connor and Chief Carr, a government official.
