Cassius's casual ridicule made everyone laugh.
Despising the poor and flattering the rich was deeply rooted in everyone's mind. When people saw Maximilian's wearings, they thought that he and Liliana were from two different social classes. They were from two different worlds.
Some of them envied Maximilian so much because he was so poor and yet had such a well connected with Liliana.
"Cassius, you've gone way too far." Even Liliana found this too hard to watch. She pounded the desk and looked at Cassius angrily.
She thought he would at least be polite, but he turned out to be so rude to Maximilian.
Cassius stopped provoking Maximilian. He gave a hollow laugh and said, "I was joking! It's no big deal."
Liliana glared at Cassius. The guy always took advantage of other people's disadvantages. She had seen him do it many times, and that was what she hated most about him.
Cassius looked at Maximilian and said, "Is that right? Will you be mad at me?"
Maximilian answered calmly, "No, I won't. When a man is bitten by a dog, he would never bite back."
Liliana gave Maximilian a thumbs-up when she heard that.
Cassius thought it was just a joke in the first place; however, as soon as he calmed down and thought about it, he became grim. He realized that Maximilian was being sarcastic.
"I dare you to say that one more time." Cassius immediately couldn't hold his anger anymore. He never allowed ordinary people to talk to him like that. He rushed to Maximilian and grabbed his collar.
Suddenly Cassius felt chilly on his back. He turned back and saw Liliana with cold eyes. He could take the pressure and could only let go of Maximilian.
His facial expression changed very quickly. The next moment, he wore a smiling face and said to Maximilian, "Nice to meet you. I'm Cassius, the chairman of the Jordan Co. Ltd. , my father is Jonas."
Cassius was such a poser. He tried his best to impress other people, and he had even included his father's name in his self-introduction, worrying that nobody would know who he was.
Those who laughed at Cassius were all stunned. They knew the status of his family in this city. It was a name that everyone knew. They were even more shocked at the fact that his father is Jonas.
Cassius grinned a proud smile and looked at Maximilian with a confident look. He was sure Maximilian was no match for him. He had already beaten him just in terms of his family background.
Maximilian replied with a smile, "My name's Maximilian."
The on-lookers curled their lips when they heard it. The name was simple, and he didn't seem to have a powerful family background. They had never heard of this name.
Only Liliana knew the story and power behind that name. Maximilian knew Connor Davies, Rowen, the Berry Family in the W City, and even Chief Carr.
Those who didn't know Maximilian would find this name so hard to believe.
But as soon as they knew him, they would be impressed at how influential that name was.
Cassius sneered, "What's that? I've never heard of it before. When did you come here?"
