Cynicism and disdain.
It was a so-called gathering of ex-employees in Supreme Beauty SPA saloon, but it had become a gathering for browbeating and mockery.
That was why Maximilian didn't want to come.
What a party! It was a fake as both male and female were flirting, men blowing each other off pretentiously.
And, as he knew from a quick glance, the dozen or so people here used to work in his SPA saloon.
“Maximilian, you came without a notice, otherwise I could pick you up. What, you didn't come the first two times I call you, but you came when Sara invited you? Isn't it too disrespectful to me, your brother?”
The one who said this was none other than Harry. At this moment, he had gotten up with a smile on his face and hooked Maximilian'’s shoulder, looking warm and easy-going.
At a first glance, others would think that old friends were reunited and that their relations were distinctly amicable.
Maximilian blandly glanced at him, had he become so hypocritical even now?
When did he ever call himself?
Walking to the middle of the box, Harry directly handed Kelvin a glass of red wine and said,
“Come on, it's rare for Maximilian to come today. Let's propose a toast, as he is my good buddy.’
A group of people were already indifferent to Maximilian, who was an insignificant man at the shop. He had a notorious reputation in H City and was a loser, and many people shunned him.
But, since Harry had said so, the group squeezed out a smile and raised their glasses in order to befriend Harry.
With a helpless sneer in his heart, Maximilian drank his wine and sat down directly in the corner.
However, Harry naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
His eyes gestured to Alan on the side, who immediately understood and raised his voice.
“Maximilian, you're so fucking uninteresting! Every time Harry called you to a party, you don't answer the phone. Why, did you change your number?
Or do you not respect Harry, or perhaps, do you not respect us?"
Alan was one of Harry's buddies. He could read Harry's mind that he was looking down on Maximilian, that he wanted to humiliate him and made him embarrassed.
At these words, the crowd accused Maximilian of.
“Yeah, Maximilian, you don't think that because you're the Griffith family's loser son-in-law, you're looking down on us old colleagues, do you?”
“Maybe he is now rich and prosperous, and naturally don't respect us. After all, he was the Griffith family's son-in-law, ah, definitely a gentry.”
“Ha, stop it! How could he become rich and prosperous? His fame was as bad as rotten eggs in H City! I've heard that, in the Griffith family, he's worse than the dogs that watch the door.”
“Oh, Alan, don't make fun of him, now in our group, it's Harry who's the most awesome boss!"
The group kept belittling Maximilian, while wasting no time to curry favor with Harry.
Harry sat happily on the sofa, and was sipping his wine with crossed legs. He raised his hand and pretended to be nice, saying,
“We are all old friends. I just opened a small shop, and it's nothing! I only made five million dollars in the last six months.”
However, the smile had betrayed his inner desire to show off.
The crowd balked at the words.
Looking at Maximilian again, sitting alone in the corner, Harry felt so good in his heart!
Thinking back in the day, he and Maximilian were considered good buddies.
But, for Victoria, the two fell out.
Now, seeing Maximilian in this situation made him feel content in his heart.
How could such a trash worthy of being with Victoria?
“Hey, Maximilian, I am asking you something, why don't you answer me?"
Alan's face was slightly cold and he looked upset.
This idiot, was actually sitting in the corner and eating.
Was he looking down on himself, or on Harry?
Maximilian said with a laughter,
“It's nothing. I've been busy recently and I haven't had time to come out. So, I'd like to say sorry to everyone and apologize to Harry.
Besides, I'm here today, aren't I?"
These whips had dirty thoughts in their bellies, and Maximilian understood at the first place.
This bit of caution and tactics was nothing compared to the Dragon Sect.
Little tricks that Maximilian could play when he was six years old.
Harry laughed and said.
“All right, all right, it's a rare gathering, so let's all toast.”
After they drank a glass of wine, Harry suddenly turned to Maximilian, asking, "Maximilian, I hear you're still at the Supreme Beauty SPA? How's that, is Issac still targeting you after I'm gone?"
Maximilian chuckled and said.
“It's okay.”
What would their faces look like if he told them that he had bought the Supreme Beauty SPA saloon for forty million dollars?
Alan, who was on the side, immediately laughed mockingly and said,
“I'm sure you're being targeted just like before, so if you can't stand it anymore, remember to come and find Harry. By the way, I heard that you can't even be with your own daughter and you're having a divorce with Victoria? Is it true?"
Just one question, the entire box fell silent.
Everyone's ears perked up.
Victoria, a name that made man craving, was the goddess in H City.
They never thought that such a fairy would marry a loser like Maximilian.
Harry also flickered slightly as he paid close attention to this Maximilian’s every word and action.
