Chapter 232: Chapter 231 At the Wright’s

Jessica saw that Victoria and Maximilian said nothing; a trace of mockery appeared on her face. “Tell us what present you prepare for grandpa’s birthday so that I could gain more knowledge of new stuff.”

Embarrassment could be seen on Victoria’s face. They prepared nothing. How should they answered this question?

Maximilian put away his phone and smiled, “What we prepare is a secret. There would be no surprise if we tell you now.

“Ah Ah” Jessica said, “Are you afraid that your present is too embarrassing to be seen? It’s okay. Our family knows you are a loser. It wouldn’t be embarrassing even if you prepare a goose feather for grandpa as long as you wouldn't feel embarrassed yourself.”

Victoria seethed inside with bowed head, showing a sign of unhappiness. Maximilian held her hands softly and said in a low voice, “There is no need to worry. I have prepared a present for the birthday.

There is not a chance that you will lose your face.”

Victoria smiled bitterly, thinking that Maximilian was just comforting her by nice words; and she didn’t buy those.

The car drove into a newly built village in suburban district. They saw standardized three-tiered village buildings arrayed neatly along both sides of the road.

The Wright family was a noble and well-known family of intellectuals. The family was famous in the village.

In order to celebrate Hugo’s birthday, a stage was already built up in the yard of the Wright’s house.

Red flags and red lanterns were hung up and even a red arch was set up to highlight the joyous celebration.

Jessica found a place to park her car and then Victoria got off.

Sylvie, Laura and Marcus waited for Maximilian and Victoria not far away. Sylvie sneered at them and said, “Isn’t it comfortable to sit on that car? The imported car is much better than home-made one, isn’t it?

Victoria smiled awkwardly and kept silent.

Jessica looked the front door of the Wright’s house. “The second son of elder uncle, Alfie, the son of the third uncle, Tommy, and his daughter, Maggie were all there. Where is Callum, the first son of elder uncle at the front door? Does he consider himself, the elder son of elder uncle, to be too important to receive guests at the front door?”

Standing next to Jessica, Oscar smiled and said to her, “We junior should go and greet guests, shouldn’t we?”

There was no way for Victoria to say no to Jessica, so she could only nod mildly and walk toward the front door with Maximilian, Jessica and Oscar.

When they got to the front door, Alfie and Tommy mocked at Maximilian, “Hey! Look who is here! The famous kept man in H city. You loser come for nice food and drinks at the party today, don’t you? I could assure you of enough food. It’s okay even if you want to take the leftover home.”

“I am afraid grandpa would be irritated to such an extent that he might encounter some health issues if he sees you. What if you squat outside the door? I will bring you the leftover in a bucket. You can eat as much as you want at the corner.” Alfie and Tommy said sarcastically, treating Maximilian as if he were a beggar.

Jessica couldn’t help laughing, “Ahah. That’s true. It would be a humiliation for grandpa if such a loser gets recognized at his birthday party. It is no good to Victoria, too. Am I right? Oscar.”

Oscar nodded heavily. There was no doubt for that. How gorgeous Victoria was! If it was known that she married such a loser, how would people judge her?” She would be embarrassed for no reason.

Victoria with bowed head said nothing, and Maximilian watched Alfie silently.

It seemed that Victoria and Maximilian already acquiesced in what they said and the two of them were fine with that.

Alfie glanced at Maximilian who was expressionless. He loathed him, “Why do you loser still stand here? You want to be seen and be made fun of by other people? Go to squat at a corner. Don’t fucking block our view here.”

What Alfie said was way too horrible; Maggie can’t stand by anymore.

Maggie, Who had two MA degrees from a prestigious university, was sensible, so she detested Alfie andT ommy.

Maggie said indignantly, “What you have said is abhorrent. We are born to be equal. No one is of higher social status than anyone else. There is no need to treat others with prejudice.”

Tommy glared at his sister, Maggie, feeling unpleasant because of her defending for Maximilian.

He said, “Maggie, how can you talk to me like that? Born to be equal? It is totally bullshit. The rule of this world is the law of the jungle. What’s more, it is none of your business how we teach this loser a lesson. You had better be quiet.”

Alfie snorted and said in a calm voice, “Maggie, you are about to go aboard for further study as a doctoral candidate. You have no idea how cruel the real world is and how appalling this loser is. If you have any idea of the fact, you will not speak like so. I suggest that you make good judgment when you choose your spouse. Don’t repeat what your sister Victoria has done, because by then you could only regret for the rest of your life.”

Maggie said, “It is okay as long as Victoria is happy. What right do you have to judge others? You guys should mind your own business first.”

Alfie said, “Straight A students is indeed different from others. You just don’t understand what we were just talking about. You will know our well-meant attempt after you see all walks of life in the society.”

Alfie no longer wanted to debate with Maggie. Then he turned to Maximilian and snorted, “Why don’t you loser keep silent? We have been talking about you for a long while. What is on your mind?”

Laura and Marcus saw what happen and both were angered. They walked past their nephews and nieces angrily and hurried over the front door of the Wright family.

Sylvie smiled with satisfaction and walked toward her cousins, “Alfie and Tommy, be nice! Don’t be angry with a loser. It will degrade you. Understand?”

“Yes, Aunt Sylvie. We are just joking with this loser brother-in-law. If we had been serious, he would have been exploded.”

Sylvie said, “All of you should go inside. Guests will arrive soon.”
