Unrivaled Dragon Lord novel Chapter 90

"This... this your husband?" The fat middle-aged man looked at Maxwell with a gleam of disbelief. He could not believe that he was Harriet's husband.

Maxwell was a little upset. 'Damn it. What's wrong with me? Didn't I deserve Harriet?' thought Maxwell.

In what field was he not as good as other? Status or wealth?

"Yes," Harriet smiled and nodded.

"What did your husband do?" The middle-aged fat man laughed and asked.

"He works for my company," Harriet smiled.

"Working for you?" The middle-aged man laughed, and he looked at Maxwell with disdain. "Harriet, it seems that you are the most successful of us, and you let your husband work for you. We can't do that."

Harriet pressed her red lips together and smiled faintly, "Mr. Thomas must be joking."

Mr. Thomas glanced at Maxwell, then said, "I have a suggestion, Harriet. I wonder if you'd like to hear it."

"Yes, please," Harriet said.

"I prepare to set up a branch in Europe, but I am in short of a confidant to be the security captain. Your husband is strong, and he's suitable for this job. I can give him a million-annual salary," Mr. Thomas said. Maxwell looked cold. He knew Mr. Thomas was trying to insulate him!

What Mr. Thomas meant was that he thought Maxwell was only fitted to be a security captain.

"Thank you for your kindness. My husband is very comfortable now and doesn't like to work overseas." Harriet declined, then reached out and took Maxwell's arm.

After a few more chats with Mr. Thomas, a figure suddenly walked quickly onto the stage.

Soon the hall fell silent, and glances were cast on the stage.

White spotlights shone on the figure. The lights around the banquet hall dimmed down, and the figure on the stage became the focus of the audience.

Harriet looked calm, but there were mixed feelings in her eyes.

"Thank you for coming to today's party. We haven't seen each other for many years, but we feel like old friends... Those present were all former classmates, and a few, for some reason, were absent. In today's classmate party, we can speak freely, and recalled the good memory of those days..." On the stage, the man spoke; but off stage, only Maxwell noticed that Harriet trembled slightly.

After the brief introduction, the party began!

The guests took their seats one by one. The banquet hall was grand, with a band playing music on both sides of the stage.

Maxwell and Harriet sat down by a table.

Harriet looked rarely low. Maxwell glanced at Harriet and said, "You bring me with you here because of him?"

"How did you know that?" Harriet was stunned.

"If you once loved a man deeply, it is impossible to pretend nothing has happened and stay composed when you see him again," Maxwell said. He could tell at first glance that Harriet was in a very low mood when the man first appeared.

"Nothing can be hidden from you." Harriet sighed, "We used to be lovers, but his family was not wealthy at that time. Then he became a son-in-law in a rich family and became the CEO of an overseas group. I wanted to move on, so I went to Penn Business School and founded a company. Greta asked me to come back a moment ago, so I came back."

"Oh, he lives better-off than me." Maxwell glanced over his shoulder at the man on the stage, then pursed his lips.

"Of course, he lives better than you. He married to a rich and beautiful woman, and he himself is intelligent and handsome, not like you, angering Greta every day." Harriet laughed as she saw Maxwell was so jealous.

"Greta cares about me so she will scold me when I make mistake," Maxwell explained.

Harriet smiled, ignored Maxwell, and had dinner.

"You could not have come today. If you had not come, nothing will happen," Maxwell said.

"No, I must come. I want to show him that I live very well, and I didn't feel bad when he left me. Instead, I live better without him," said Harriet firmly.

Maxwell gave Harriet a deep look and said nothing more.
