âHow could I know what you want?â Mateo was murmuring in his heart but didnât dare to say it.
If it happened in the past, he would spit on Maximilian. But now, he couldnât do that because Maximilian could change his fate.
âYou are the god, while we are just idiots. Could you please give your order directly since we are not clever enough to guess it out?â
It was really weird to see Mateoâs smile on his face covered by blood.
âYou are lucky to live for so many years with such low IQ,â sneered Maximilian.
Mateo didnât know how to reply, only smiling awkwardly.
Angus reacted fast, asking weakly, âMaybe Mr. Lee wants to teach us a lesson. Since we didnât act politely, please teach us a lesson. In the future, youâll be our boss!â
âInteresting.â Maximilian sneered before he said expressionlessly, âTeach you a lesson? Are you serious? Do you deserve it?â
âYouâre right, boss. We donât deserve it since we are too stupid. Please punish us! Itâs what we deserve!â
Maximilian took out a cigarette and Mateo quickly took out the lighter, aiming to light it up. But Maximilian kicked him.
âDid I ask you to light up the cigarette? Havenât you realized your fault?â
âIâm wrong. I failed to recognize a great person. I shouldnât sneer at you, Mr. Lee. Iâm too stupid. Iâm wrong!â
Maximilian looked at Mateo reluctantly. The fool didnât even know his fault at that time.
Seeing Maximilian not satisfied, Mateo realized his stupid words. Then after thinking for a second, he came up with the reason.
âWe shouldnât ignore your warning. I promise we wonât covet Victoria and the Griffith family in the future. Please trust me. And we will try our best to support the Griffith family.â Mateo thought that was the point. Maybe his answer this time could satisfy Maximilian.
âThatâs not enough,â said Maximilian indifferently.
âMr. Lee, please tell us what to do and we will follow your order,â said Mateo decisively.
As long as the companies and their fortune were saved, Maximilian could ask them to do anything, even if he was told to be a male prostitute.
âGo to the Griffith family and apologize to them.â
Mateo and the others relieved since apologizing was the easiest thing to do. To maintain their status and fortune, they could easily give up their dignity.
When he started from scratch in the past, he didnât care about his face at all. Otherwise, he wouldnât have made such achievements.
âDonât worry, Mr. Lee. We promise you that we will apologize to the Griffith family with the most valuable gift and most sincere heartsâ said Mateo firmly.
âThen I will wait for your action. If Iâm not satisfied, you will be disabled.â
After saying the words coldly, Maximilian left the box.
Maximilianâs shadow gradually disappeared, and the four guys relieved a bit, sitting on the floor feebly.
âOh my goodness! Who on earth is that Maximilian? Why does he have such great power? He must have an amazing background,â said Mateo still frightened.
âHe must be a super-rich second generation. But with such powerful background, why does he live as a kept man in the Griffith family who is always abused and humiliated? He should have been respected by the family.â
Burke replied while covering his bleeding forehead, âNonsense! We should go to hospital now, since my forehead was broken. Besides, we havenât been safe yet. We have to prepare well for the apology tomorrow.â
âThatâs right. The apology is the most important thing for us now. We must make them satisfied. But Mr.
Lee didnât tell us the details. Iâm afraid we might make a mistake.â
The four guys were worried about the apology tomorrow, which was the matter of primary importance.
They would be dead if they didnât do it well.
When Maximilian arrived home by a taxi, Laura started scolding him, âWhy do you the jerk still come back? I hope you can die outside!â
Maximilian was standing by the door silently.
âDonât be silly! It was you who made so much trouble for us! How dared you brag in front of old Griffith?
I felt very ashamed because of you! Nobody can finish that but you said you can. I think you can only boast yourself! What to do if Mr. Mccarthy doesnât forgive you? What to do if our company went bankrupt for that? Wise up! Iâm not going to put up with this!â
Hearing Lauraâs abuse, Victoria went out of her room at once. She quickly walked to Maximilian after glanced at Laura, who was sitting on the sofa. Maximilianâs hand was hold by her. âLetâs go back to our room.â
âVictoria, let him go! Why do you still keep the shit at home? Since this time he had made such a big trouble, you should split with him immediately! If our whole family is really ruined by the jerk, you can marry another man easily. Not only you, but also the whole family, your dad, Sissi and me need a capable man to rely on. Maximilianâs just a good for nothing bum, who has neither fortune nor position.
Heâs not the man we can rely on!â
Laura said sincerely and earnestly, and her words were full of crisis awareness. If the company goes bankrupt, the whole family would have to live a hard life.
Thus Laura hoped that Victoria could get a divorced with Maximilian and marry Humphrey or anyone else. In her mind, nobody could be more incapable than Maximilian.
âStop it, mom. Even if our company goes bankrupt, we can earn our own living. Donât worry, please.
Moreover, I trust Maximilian.â Victoria held Maximilianâs arm and went back.
Laura shouted, âWhat on earth are you expecting for? Donât be silly! Why havenât you realized that Maximilian is really a shit? All of us know the truth, except you!â
Victoria responded to Laura by closing the door. Laura felt so angry that she was hitting the sofa as it was Maximilian.
âWhat did you do? Is everything alright?â Victoria asked him concernedly.
âBe at ease. Iâve solved Mr. Mccarthyâs matter. Letâs wait for tomorrow.â Maximilian was holding Victoriaâs hands while he said the words gently.
