The Heir novel Chapter 19

“Well, you are the one who signed the cooperation with the LS Group. It is your responsibility to make them come to the banquet. Invite that mysterious new president.”

“But I haven’t seen him, Grandma. It’s Vanessa Smith whom I met.”

“Invite that Vanessa Smith then and tell her to come with their new president.”

Victoria was about to say something when her grandmother ended the call. She let out a sigh of disbelief. How could she tell them to come to the banquet when she did not have the authority to do so? It was just one signed cooperation. She was not even acquainted with Vanessa Smith.

“Ma’am.” Linda approached her.

“Yes?” She turned to face the housemaid.

“Your husband said if you are done with the phone call, please come outside and join us. The food has been served.”

“Oh… yeah.” She put the receiver back to its base and headed outside the farmhouse.

When she went to the buffet table, Maximilian handed her a plate filled with food.

“What did the old Mrs. Griffith say to you?” her husband asked when they occupied one of the tables.

“Well, she told me she will be hosting a banquet to brag about the cooperation with the LS Group.” She shook her head. “My grandmother… she always brags about everything.”

Victoria sliced her meat, but when her husband noticed that she was having difficulty, he exchanged his plate with hers.

“That’s it?” he asked after a while.

“She said she will also announce the new general manager.” She turned to Maximilian and found him grinning from ear to ear while slicing the meat. And she knew very well why he reacted that way. Of course, her husband was proud of her.

“I can’t wait for the banquet. I am so excited to see Franklin’s gloomy face once your grandmother announced to the public that you are the new general manager of the Griffith Group.”

“Max…” She cupped his hand. “What did I tell you? We should not get to the bad side of my cousin—”

“But he did it first, don’t you remember?” Maximilian scoffed. “He was so arrogant towards you. And I can still remember how he humiliated me in front of—”

“Let bygones be bygones, Max.” She gently pressed his hand. “Let’s just focus on the good things in life, hmm? It’s our time.”

Maximilian just shrugged and withdrew his hand from hers to eat.

“And oh… I have one important task to do for Grandma,” she told her husband afterward.
