Chapter 325: Chapter 324 Pitfalls and Conspiracy

In the conference room of the Griffiths Group, Andrew and Kroopf sat at the center. Darian and Franklin Victoria and Kroopf’s followers were sitting on his sides. Kroopf smiled and said,” We must discuss about the details for better cooperation. Please let my assistant put forward our requirements.”

The assistant stood up with a document and said, “Firstly, we want to stress that our cooperation is based on Ms. Victoria. When she is no longer at the core of your company, the cooperation will be terminated immediately.”

Andrew and people of his side looked terrible. They planned to change her position after the project started. They didn’t expect that Kroopf’s side put forward the requirement directly.

What had Victoria done to the foreigners? Franklin thought with resentment and glared at Victoria fiercely.

Victoria was puzzled and could not figure out why such a requirement was put forward at the beginning.

She asked, “Why me?”

“My beautiful Ms. Victoria, we have evaluated all core members of the Griffith Family and find that you are the most suitable person to manage the project in terms of personality, knowledge and management skills. If the project is not managed by you, it will definitely fail.”

Franklin was so angry. He stood up and yelled, “Mr. Kroopf, are you looking down upon us? You think we don’t have the capability to manage the project? Victoria is not the only member of the Griffiths.”

Franklin was completely angry, thinking that he was despised. As for knowledge and ability, he thought he was much better than Victoria.

“Look at your rude manners, which have demonstrated your inferiority. Don’t you realize it?” Kroopf said with gestures.

Andrew glared at Franklin and said angrily, “It’s rude to behave like this. Sit down! Don’t make a fool of yourself in front of Mr. Kroopf.”

Franklin sat down, fuming with an angry face.

“Mr. Kroopf, I’m sorry. It’s my son’s fault. He should not have been so impolite. But I think Victoria is young and lack of experience. It may be suitable that I serve as the chief commander of the project.”

Andrew had been thinking for a long-time that he was possible to replace Victoria.

Kroopf shook his head and said with hands spreading, “This is the cornerstone of our cooperation, which can’t be changed, or you want to refuse the cooperation.”

Refusing the cooperation was impossible.

Andrew sighed and planned to make a temporary concession and wait for other chance in future.

He said, “Ok, we agree with your requirement.”

“Dad!” Franklin wanted to object, but Andrew waved his hand decisively and stopped Franklin’s words.

At this moment, the door opened, and Maximilian walked into the room.

Kroopf glared at Maximilian and then removed his sight.

Franklin was filled with angry that had no place to release. So, he took his angry out on Maximilian and said, “What are you doing here? Crap. You have no qualification to take part in our company’s high-

level meeting.”

Maximilian ignored Franklin and walked straightly to Victoria. He sat beside Victoria and said,” I have heard that you are interested in the land owned by my wife. I have half the ownship of our common property, so I come here to listen to your discussion.”

“Listening is ok. Don’t make any noise.” Andrew said with a cold face.

Maximilian nodded in silence and leaned back in his chair with eyes closed, which looked relaxed and leisure.

Andrew looked at Kroopf and said with smile, “Mr. Kroopf, please go on.”

Kroopf made a gesture. Then the assistant continued, “Our company is responsible for the raw material supplies and equipment supplies, and you should accept it unconditionally. Of course, the price won’t be higher than the average price…”

Rules and cooperation details were announced one by one. Although Andrew has questioned several rules, these questions didn’t work due to Kroopf’s threat to stop the cooperation. Eventually, all items were made according to Kroopf’s requirements.

Maximilian listened to the rules and thought carefully about them. It seemed that those rules were normal commercial terms but when he thought carefully, he found pitfalls behind those rules.

The main executor of the cooperation was Victoria. If Kroopf used the items as a trap, Victoria would be responsible for everything.

It seemed that the cooperation was a fine windfall. Actually, it was a poisonous trap.

But why did Kroopf trap Victoria? For Maximilian, there was only one possible answer: the cooperation was arranged by Dragon Queen.

Maybe she wanted to show her power; maybe she wanted to remove Victoria as a threat. All in all, she was ill-disposed.

When Maximilian was contemplating, Kroopf took the document out and put it on the table. He said, “This document incudes those additional clauses. If you don’t have any question, Ms. Victoria, you can sign it. Then our cooperation will be officially reached.”

Victoria’s heart was filled with confusion and fear. She looked at Maximilian for an answer.

“Sign it. Don’t worry,” Maximilian said with smile.

Even though the trap was designed by Dragon Queen, Maximilian was confident that he would destroy it.

Victoria nodded slightly and started to sign the document.

Franklin held his hands tightly and said fiercely, “You are great. Have you got a foreign dad?

Maximilian, you are just a mossback.”

“Do you want to die?” Maximilian glanced at Franklin coldly.

The atmosphere was suddenly tense. Andrew roared with his hands banging on the table, “It’s enough.

If you still want to make trouble, then go out.”

Franklin was frightened immediately and turned around to avoid looking at Maximilian.

After Victoria signed the contract, she handed it to Kroopf. Kroopf smiled and said, “I hope we will have a happy cooperation. The construction of the new factory should be prepared as soon as possible. Our technological team will be sent here soon.”

“Of course, we will.”

Andrew saw Kroopf and his followers off. Then he went back to the conference room and looked at Victoria and Maximilian.

“You have heard what Kroopf has said. Now the construction of the new factory is the most important thing. It will be late if we apply and buy a new land now. So should you take your land out to make contributions to our family?”

Andrew had been coveting on that land for a long time. Now he found a proper reason that was conducive for him to get the land.

Victoria walked to Maximilian and said in a low voice, “The land is yours. I will support whatever you do.”
