Of course, Maximilian was just thinking about it. If he really were the president of the company, Victoria wouldn’t allow Grace to be his secretary. Maximilian didn’t want to hurt Victoria’s feelings. He just wanted to take care of her for the rest of his life.
Maximilian joined the three of them, lounging on the sofa.
Meanwhile.
Since his mission failed, Harley went to Dragon Queen. When Dragon Queen saw Harley, she had disappointment written all over her face.
Harley couldn’t help but drop his head at the sight of Dragon Queen’s disappointed look.
"You actually failed again. Can’t you do anything right, loser?" Dragon Queen snorted. She was getting more and more impatient with Harley.
Since Harley had failed again and again, Dragon Queen turned totally contemptuous of him, and her attitude towards him became worse too.
Harley looked embarrassed. At first, he was considering whether to be a fence-sitter or not. He wanted to stand between Dragon Queen and Maximilian. However, Dragon Queen’s affront to him made Harley completely give up the idea of backing her.
"Dragon Queen, it was an accident. I met Maximilian." Harley said hurriedly.
Dragon Queen was stunned to hear that. But when she saw Harley’s serious look, she suddenly believed that Harley was not lying. Finally, Dragon Queen sneered, "Really? I didn’t expect you to meet Maximilian. Since Maximilian is so powerful, how did you get out?"
Now Dragon Queen began to wonder if Harley was lying. If not, there must be some other reason.
Harley gave a bitter smile. "Thanks to my men’s protection, I got out of there."
Dragon Queen meditated for a few seconds before saying, "Fine, I’ll just believe you this once. Given that you met Maximilian, it’s understandable that you suffered a failure."
Hearing that, Harley breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Dragon Queen forgave him, he couldn’t be happier. Harley expressed his appreciation to Dragon Queen at once. "Dragon Queen, I appreciate your generosity."
"Enough, stop playing up to me. Flattery will get you nowhere with me." Dragon Queen said, poker-faced.
Harley rubbed his hands together and said, "Dragon Queen, you’re always right."
Dragon Queen was upset because she failed again, and Maximilian was also involved. Now all she wanted to do was get rid of Maximilian, a thorn in her side. Otherwise, he would definitely be a serious problem for her in the future.
"No, Maximilian must be wiped out." Dragon Queen said in a cold voice.
Dragon Queen had a hunch that Maximilian would threaten her status, but what she didn’t know was that Maximilian couldn’t care less about his status in the Dragon Sect, nor did he care about the Dragon Sect’s reputation.
The reason Dragon Queen thought this way was because she was under the persecutory delusion.
"Exactly, Maximilian must be wiped out." Harley echoed.
Dragon Queen gave a cold smile. "Since you agree with me, have you thought of any way to deal with him?"
Harley became quiet immediately, looking embarrassed. He hemmed and hawed for a while but still said nothing. He had tried every possible way that he could think of, but they all failed.
