Chapter 44: Maximilian's credit
Chapter 44: Maximilian's credit
Travis's father called? Laura, with an excited smile on her face, said immediately,
"Then hurry up and answer it, ask him how it's going, and thank your dad for his efforts.”
Who was Travis's father? The chairman of the Hart Group, Simon Hart, had a fortune of billions of
dollars!
In the H city business community, he was a successful businessman and one of the prominent
representatives of the H city business community.
In H city, he was also a man who called the shots.
With his help, this crisis with Graham Group could be easily solved.
Therefore, Laura was happy in her heart, and the gaze she looked at Travis was even more eager. She
could not wait to give Victoria to Travis right now so that he could take her to his home.
Her daughter was a one-track mind, and had to stay with that loser Maximilian. How nice it would be to
enjoy the blessings if her daughter was with Travis.
Travis nodded proudly and confidently picked up the phone and spoke loudly, “Dad, how it is going?
Does Graham Group promise to re-cooperate with the Griffith Group?"
“Travis, Dad is calling you about this. It's a bit difficult, I'm afraid I can't be of much help.”
“What?” Travis was stunned, and the smile on his face gradually froze.
"Travis, although I had dinner with Ralphy Graham of the Graham Group, we only met once, and there
was any connection between us now. We are also asking Ralphy Graham to consider working with us.
What would we do if we let the Griffith family take the partnership? Travis, this is business. We have to
put ourselves at first, right? Well, that's all for this matter."
As the phone hung up, the smug look on Travis's face was now gone.
He was full of hope and elation, but he never expected that things would take such a U-turn.
The Hart Group was also going to talk to Graham about cooperation, so helping Victoria would be like
cutting off his own family's business.
Travis was in a dilemma now. He had boasted in front of Victoria and Laura, how should he explain to
them now?
Just say there was nothing he can do? Wouldn't that be humiliating to him, so humiliating!
His image in Victoria’s eyes would collapse.
"What's wrong, Travis? Is it difficult for your father to help us?"
While seeing Travis's face look wrong, Laura asked carefully.
"No...... it's fine!” Travis squeezed out a smile with his face a little ruffled, and lied.
“My dad said that this matter is almost done, he has already talked to Ralphy Graham. He told us to
just wait for the news, let you guys rest assured."
It was like riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off.
Travis had no choice but to adopt a stalling tactics.
Anyway, they weren't in a hurry, and he could hold off. Maybe they would have forgotten it by then.
Even if they asked about it then, there were plenty of excuses to cover it up.
When Laura heard this, she sighed with a relief, her face was very pleased, and she enthusiastically
pulled Travis’s hand and said all kinds of nice words.
On the contrary, Maximilian stood silently to the side while suffering from the cold shoulder.
"Maximilian, why are you standing here? Just go and make dinner, Travis will stay with us for dinner
today.”
Laura never showed any kindness to Maximilian, as she was always yelling and commanding.
Right now, Travis was the real son-in-law in her eyes.
Victoria naturally took this scene in her eyes and shook her head helplessly.
Her own husband was simply too useless, even if she wanted to say something for Maximilian, she
couldn't open her mouth.
Maximilian answered a “Oh”. Just now he saw Travis's change of expression with his eyes, so he
naturally understood what had happened.
Travis was really shameless.
At noon, Travis stayed at Griffith's house for a casual meal, and Laura was a great offer of affection
while constantly giving him dishes at the dinner table.
Poor Maximilian, who could only sit on the side. When he just extended his chopsticks, Laura blocked
them with her chopstick and scolded.
“What are you doing? This is for Travis. You only can have some rice and green vegetable."
And then, with a smile on her face, she chucked the piece of chicken leg to Travis.
“Travis, eat more, and when you're done, you'll be just in time to accompany Victoria out for a walk.”
At these words, Victoria, who was beside him, was filled with a parched red face and glared at her own
old mother, saying, "Mom, what are you talking about?”
Victoria was mild and stubborn, and she didn't like to argue with people. So most of the time, the family
was run by Laura.
She turned her head to look at Maximilian and found his expression unchanged, as if he was
indifferent.
This made Victoria disappointed.
And Marcus was a mediocre man, and his position in the family was just a little higher than
Maximilian’s. He couldn't even intervene in their discussion and just shook his head helplessly.
Maximilian was still sitting on the side, no matter what, he was still her son-in-law, and how could she
push her daughter towards an outsider in front of him?
Marcus felt out of place and coughed gently twice.
Although Maximilian was upset in his heart, he acted indifferent.
The mother-in-law was determined to break up Victoria and Maximilian.
“Auntie, you can help yourself, I can't eat this much.”
Travis smiled politely, but his eyes fell on Maximilian intentionally or unintentionally with a look of
playfulness and smugness.
Look, in this family, I as an outsider had a higher status than you as the son-in-law.
To this, Maximilian made no comment and sat there sullenly enjoying his food.
Because he was sure to suffer unwarranted accusations and abuse from his mother-in-law if he
interjected in their conversation.
After the meal, Travis was in no hurry to leave, but stayed to keep company with Victoria and Laura.
Laura was happy, as such a young talent man, Travis should have more contact with her daughter.
Maximilian came out at that moment,cleaned up tableware on table, and said, "Mom, Victoria, I'm going
to work."
Victoria looked at him and nodded, not saying anything.
Laura was frowning coldly, and yelled, "Get the hell out of here, and don't come back tonight! We're
going out to eat with Travis."
Laura really couldn't tolerate the wimp as her son-in-law in her eyes.
Now, the more she looked at Travis, the more she liked him.
Travis also took a sip of tea and looked at Maximilian, who had turned his head away from the door,
with a mocking smile on his face. This man was really worthless.
In the Griffith family, his status turned out to be so low.
It seemed that there was no obstacle for him to pursue Victoria.
After exiting the door, Maximilian raised his eyebrows and looked at the azure sky, as if he was
speaking to the air, and said coldly.
"Help me check out the Hart group and gather some evidence of their crimes.”
Suddenly, a man dressed in black tights, wearing a mask quickly knelt on one knee in front of
Maximilian and said respectfully, Yes, young master!" followed by the disappearance of the figure.
Maximilian faintly took out his phone, sent a text message to Victoria, and went to the SPA Salon.
He was going to see how the store was running today.
On Victoria's side, she was listening to Travis's eloquent talk, when her phone suddenly vibrated. It was
a text message from Maximilian and the content was simple.
“Victoria, don't worry, I will handle the cooperation of Graham Group for you. Someone will send the
contract to you soon, as for Travis, you should not believe him.
Could Maximilian handle it?
Victoria's willow eyebrows knitted as she glanced in the direction of the doorway, puzzled.
After that, she smiled to herself. Maximilian’s message was nothing more than comforting her again.
Besides, how could the Graham Group send the contract to her so quickly?
Of course, this scene was also seen by Travis, who was sitting on the side. He glanced at the content
of the text message and sneered.
"Maximilian sent this, An? Let me see what he said. Oh, Maximilian said he can handle this
cooperation and the contract will be sent over right away. I didn't know Maximilian is so capable, auntie,
you're wrong at judging him."
When Victoria heard this, she quickly put her phone away and blushed with embarrassment.
Laura, who was filled with anger at the moment, cursed and said.
“Damned Maximilian, he only knows how to cheat my daughter with this little trick all day long. If he can
solve this contract problem, I, as his mother-in-law, will just kneel down and kowtow to him and
apologize."
Travis hurriedly chimed in.
“Auntie, you don't have to say that, maybe Maximilian really knows someone and has his way around?"
Suddenly,
the doorbell rang and they all looked over, Victoria hurriedly got up, opened the door, and there was a
man in black suit standing at the doorway, handing out a document with both hands respectfully.
"Miss Victoria, this is a new contract from the Graham Group, please accept it.’
HISS! Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
The three in the living room saw the scene and heard his words, and they are shocked.
Anew contract was literally delivered!
Victoria took the contract in disbelief, could it really be handled by Maximilian?
