Seeing that they couldnât gain any benefits from Maximilian, Samuel immediately changed his strategy and was ready to ask Victoria for benefits.
After all, Victoria was Samuelâs granddaughter. Samuel felt that as long as he went for Victoria personally, Victoria would do some good for their family, even if she was reluctant.
Maximilian frowned, thinking that Samuel had gone too far. Since he had said this, Samuel insisted on asking for benefits by taking advantage of his identity as Victoriaâs grandfather.
âGrandpa, I have made it very clear. If you intend to pursue your own way, you can call Victoria.â
âHow dare you? Who do you think you are? You are just a son-in-law of our Griffith family!â Samuel glared at Maximilian and roared.
âOh.â Maximilian chuckled, then he turned around and walked out.
âMind your manners! Just stop here!â
Andrew walked to grab Maximilianâs arm, determined to teach him a lesson today.
After a hesitation, Marcus stepped forward and stood between the two, âAndrew, please donât bother arguing with Maximilian!â
âHump! Just have a look at his attitude. He doesnât behave in a way a junior should have!â
Samuel took his cell phone and said, âShut up. Iâm going to call Victoria!â
Andrew closed his mouth immediately, but his hand holding Maximilian didnât loosen up.
Maximilian stared at Andrew with cold eyes. Andrew felt a chill in the back of his neck and he was intimidated by Maximilian, then his hand loosened unconsciously.
âYou have to stay here and canât leave without our permission.â Andrew forced himself to say a few words.
Samuel had dialed the phone, and there was a loud noise when the phone was connected.
âHello, grandpa.â
âVictoria, come back quickly. I have something to talk to you.â
Victoria was surprised. But how could she leave at this moment when she was entertaining the guests?
âGrandpa, did my father and Maximilian go back? What happened?â
âDonât mention Maximilian! The guy really pisses me off! Since you have been the president of Topyuan Group, you should get some benefits for your family. The products of our family business were hard to sell, so you should let Topyuan Group buy them all!â
As listening to his words, Victoria felt a chill in her heart. What her grandfather said was not in the line with the basic business ethics at all.
âGrandpa, I have to entertain guests, so I really donât have time to go back. Or Iâll go back and have a talk with you when Iâm done.â
âWhat do you want to talk to me? Thereâs no need. You just say yes or no!â Samuel forced Victoria to give him an answer.
Victoria rubbed her forehead, then said after some hesitation, âWhat Maximilian says is what I mean. It is up to him.â
âYou are pissing me off! Maximilian is a punk. How could he represent you?â
Samuel was quite annoyed. He thought ta phone call to Victoria could solve the problem, but he didnât expect that Victoria would throw the problem back to Maximilian.
âGrandpa, do you still regard Maximilian a punk? If he is, everyone in our family is worse than a punk!â
âWhat do you mean? My grandsons are much better than him! Do you promise me to offer some help?
Donât talk about other things.â
After Samuel finished, he glared at Maximilian, feeling that Victoria must have been deceived by his blandishments.
âI have told you that what Maximilian says represents my idea.â
âYou really piss me off! I donât have a granddaughter like you. You and your family are not the member of Griffith family anymore!â
After roaring, Samuel threw his cell phone away. When he was about to say something harsher to Marcus, Darian dragged him.
âFather, donât be impulsive and angry. Itâs bad for your health. Just calm down.â
Darian didnât want to worsen the situation. If the Griffith group couldnât get over the difficulties this time, they had to ask Victoria for help later. So he didnât want to make her angry at least.
Samuel glared at Darian, wanting to scold him too.
âDad, listen to me.â Darian leaned over to Samuelâs ear and whispered, âDad, donât be angry and donât be led astray by Andrew. Andrew always has a grudge against Marcus and his family, so he wants us to break up with them.â
âBut they have great potential now. Itâs possible that we have to rely on them in the future. Although we donât need to curry favor with them, we donât have to conflict with them. We may get the benefits just by following their words.â
Darian was focused on benefits. The moral integrity or other aspects was nothing for him. As long as he could get benefits, he even dared to betray the god.
Therefore, Darian focused on getting profits, without caring about Andrew at all.
Samuel was sophisticated enough. He was clear about the situation after being reminded by Darian.
He was so angry just now that he almost did something stupid.
Both Victoriaâs presidency of Topyuan Group and the relationship between Maximilian and Wilfred represented the rise of the two. No one in the Griffith family could hurt them.
After careful consideration, Samuel calmed down and felt that Darian was right.
âDarian, youâre right. I almost made a big mistake just now.â
âDad, thatâs so good. At this time, we should adopt the method of overcoming firmness by gentleness.
If we deal with it toughly, there will be no good for both of us.â
Samuel nodded slowly. Then he said with a relaxed expression, âMaximilian, I was kind of angry just now. Please donât mind it.â
Seeing that his father suddenly changed his attitude, Andrew opened his eyes round and couldnât help shouting, âDad, how can you apologize to Maximilian?â
âYou rascal! You almost ruined the relationship between the younger generation and me. Apologize to Marcus and Maximilian now!â Samuel said with a sullen face.
Andrewâs face was so grim as if he had lost his mother. He didnât expect that Samuel would turn the target toward him.
Andrew could bear to apologize to Marcus, but he couldnât apologize to Maximilian!
âDad, you should not ask me to apologize to Maximilian! He is just a punk who is supported by our family. How can you let me apologize to him?â
âItâs because he is more capable than you. He is able to get orders for our business! Without him and Wilfredâs help, you should have ruined our company long ago!â Samuel shouted harshly.
Andrewâs expression was frozen. There was great bitterness in his heart.
