They sent Sissi back to the hospital. Phillip’s men also got the same new car and handed it to Victoria at the hospital.
Phillip reported to Maximilian how he punished Remy. Maximilian waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn’t care what to do with Remy.
After chatting with Maximilian again, Phillip saw Maximilian was not in a high mood, so he wisely left.
Maximilian sent Sissi back to the ward, and Victoria coaxed her to sleep. Then the two left the hospital and went home together.
At home, Laura and Marcus were sitting in the living room. Seeing Maximilian and Victoria coming back together, Laura patted the sofa, “Victoria, come here, I have something to tell you.”
“Mom, what’s the matter?” Victoria sat beside Laura and asked curiously.
Maximilian poured a cup of tea for Victoria, and then sat aside.
“Your eldest cousin signed a construction and development contract with Topyuan Group, but recently, Topyuan Group has been quiet, so your eldest cousin wanted to contact the company. I heard that there seems to be a relationship between you and the mysterious Mr. Lee.”
As Laura said, she looked at Maximilian disdainfully, “Why are you listening? I’m talking to my girl, you stay away.”
“Mom, why do you drive Maximilian away? I don’t know any mysterious Mr. Lee. Don’t believe those rumors.” Victoria said decisively.
Laura laughed, thinking that she had seen through everything, and said, “Victoria, I know you are shy, and you don’t want Maximilian to know that you have a better and powerful lover.”
“But sooner or later he will know everything, so don’t worry about it. If he makes trouble, your father and I will handle it, and he will not be able to make things worse.”
Victoria wanted to argue, but such things couldn’t be explained clearly. The more you said, the less people believed it. Maybe Maximilian would misunderstand something after refutation.
Laura smiled and patted Victoria on the back, “Since you are with the mysterious Mr. Lee, you should tell me earlier. It is good. Why should you hide it? No wonder you don’t like Humphrey and Eduard. There are better candidates. You made me worry about you in vain for so long.” Laura said to herself, feeling that she had guessed the truth of everything.
Victoria reached out and gently took Maximilian’s hand, “Don’t believe my mother. I really don’t know any mysterious Mr. Lee.”
Maximilian nodded with a smile and said seriously, “I believe you.”
Laura frowned and said discontentedly, “Victoria, what do you say to this loser? Don’t you want to divorce him? Or that Mr. Lee has some special requirements?”
In order to establish kinship with someone from a higher social class, Laura begun to consider it. She thought that the mysterious Mr. Lee may have some strange hobbies, or he was not convenient to marry a divorced woman, so he needs the existence of Maximilian as a cover.
All kinds of strange ideas floated back and forth in Laura’s mind. The more she thought about it, the more unreliable it became.
Victoria couldn’t listen to her any more. She stood up and said, “Mom, if you don’t have anything to say, I’ll go back to my room and have a rest.”
“What’s the hurry? I haven’t talked to you about the business yet. I went back to your grandfather’s house this afternoon and just heard your cousin say it. He wants to meet the boss of Topyuan Group, the mysterious Mr. Lee.”
