The pebbles hit into Uncle Powellâs legs. The blood gushed out of the wound and stained his trousers red.
Trying to ignore the pain of his legs, Uncle Powell ran away in a strange posture.
Maximilian didnât attack Uncle Powell any more, but turned to Iris with his hands folded behind him.
Iris had stood up, but she was too scared to look at Maximilian, and she just lowered her head.
âI know Iâm wrong. Please forgive me, and Iâll never do that again. Otherwise, if you donât feel relieved, tonight, I can...â
Biting her lips, Iris could not finish her words. At this time, she had no other ways to get away with it, so she took her body as a bargaining chip out of her instinct and habit.
âHa ha.â Maximilian sneered and said disdainfully, âJust stop it.â
Irisâs face went pale and then there was shame and anger in her eyes. She felt grieved to be despised by Maximilian in this way.
Maximilian bypassed iris and walked towards Victoria Anayah, who stood in the corner, just came to her sense at this time. Recalling what happened just now, Anayah realized that Maximilian was not an ordinary man.
Maximilian could fight against Luke on his own! In addition, Aston was willing to be Maximilianâs men!
What did all this mean? It showed that Maximilian was absolutely capable and powerful!
Anayah was quite regretful that she failed to realize Maximilianâs capability earlier. If only she could have such a powerful husband!
Why was Victoria so lucky? Victoria must know the identity of Maximilian, who was concealing his real capability before, so she went out of her way to be with Maximilian!
Anayah felt cheated, then she muttered, âBah! Victoria is a bitch. She kept it secret in case I know the identity of Maximilian and fall in love with him. I regarded Maximilian as a good-for-nothing in mistake!â
âIf I had known Maximilian was so good, I wouldnât have done so many silly things! Maybe I could have had sex with him and have a child by now! In that case, Victoria would not be like this!â
Anayah was psychological distorted gradually. When looking at Maximilian, there was a light flashing in her eyes. She felt Maximilian should have been her husband!
Maximilian walked back to Victoria and said with a smile, âItâs so boring here. Letâs go back.â
âYep. I want to go back, too. What about Aston and Uncle Dixon?â
Looking at Aston and Uncle Dixon who was in a coma, Victoria was kind of worried.
âAstonâs bodyguards are here. Iâll ask them to send them to the hospital. Donât worry. They will be fine.â
âMaximilian, Victoria. What am I going to do?â Flora stood up, grabbed Victoriaâs arm with her hands and looked at them pitifully.
âYou can live in a hotel.â Maximilian said casually.
âNo. Iâm afraid that my families will find me and take me back. I ran away from the wedding, so I canât be taken back.â
Flora said with a more pitiful look. Victoria could not help taking pity on her.
Victoria had no good way to help Flora, so she said to Maximilian, âMaximilian, could you give her a hand?â
âI donât know how to help her. We canât take her back. Thereâs no room for her.â Maximilian shrugged, unwilling to help Flora.
Such a cruel man! He should be impressed by her and protect her! Flora thought with disgruntlement.
âVictoria, I can wash clothes and cook. Please help me and offer me a place to stay. You can leave all the housework to me, and I wonât cause you any trouble.â
Victoria rubbed her forehead with distress, then she told Maximilian, âOr we just keep her for one night?â
âWell, what about tomorrow?â
âMaybe Uncle Dixon will wake up tomorrow. Then he will take care of her, and we do not have to do anything.â
Seeing Victoria had a sense of compassion, Maximilian finally agreed, âWhat about asking Connor to arrange a place for her? Itâs so troublesome to take her home.â
âPlease donât. I would like to be with you. What if I meet a bad guy? I heard there are a lot of human traffickers.â Flora took Victoriaâs arm and said.
Victoria patted her arm and comforted her, âDonât worry. I wonât let you be abducted. You sleep with me tonight and Maximilian will sleep in the living room.â
âThatâs great. Thanks, Victoria. But itâ not appropriate to let Maximilian sleep in the living room. Iâll sleep in the living room.â Flora said.
âWe canât let you sleep on the sofa. It is OK for Maximilian to sleep in the living room, considering heâs a man.â
Maximilian looked at Victoria with a grimace. Seeing Victoria make up her mind, he didnât want to argue with her, as long as Victoria was happy.
Maximilian summoned Astonâs bodyguards and asked them to send Aston and Uncle Dixon to the hospital. Then he stared at Lukeâs men, who were huddling in the corner.
Squatting on the ground, they were looking at Maximilian with feat, trying to force a smile to apologize to Maximilian.
âMaster Lee, you are so mighty. Please forgive us for our ignorance.â
âYeah, weâre wrong. Itâs all because of the bitch Iris who played tricks on us; otherwise we wouldnât have offended you.â
âMaster Lee, you are so lenient. Please let us go. We can kowtow to you and apologize to you,â
Maximilian shook his head, but he didnât do anything to them. He just sad in a cold tone, âGo back and tell Luke that if he messes with me again, Iâll kill him and heâd better not come to H City.â
âOkay, we got it. Weâll tell him.â
âGet out.â
As soon as Maximilian waved his hand, Lukeâs men fled in a panic.
When Lukeâs men left, Maximilian left with Victoria and Flora among the jealous eyes of the rich young men.
Taking with Victoria would make the men present envy Maximilian, not to mention Flora was also with him. Many young rich fantasized that they were Maximilian, so that they could be with Victoria and Flora.
If they had known that Maximilian would sleep in the living room tonight, they would be dumbfounded.
Seeing the three leaving, Iris, who was sitting alone at a distant table, was filled with mixed feelings.
Anayah went to Iris and sat beside her, then she said, âWhat are you thinking? I guess you didnât expect Victoria would keep the identity of Maximilian a secret. Maximilian loves Victoria so much that he should stand to be regarded as a good-for-nothing by others.â
