CHAPTER 136: A FAVOUR

Back home, Laura sat on sofa and put a fierce look on Maximilian.

“Maximilian, what’s wrong with your clothes? How could you wear a suit priced about a million dollars?”

Marcus and Victoria also looked at Maximilian with doubts, since it had become a question for

everyone involved.

“They were given by someone,” Maximilian replied peacefully.

“Given by someone? Nonsense! Who would give a crap such expensive clothes?”

Laura thought that Maximilian was lying, so she shouted to him angrily.

Seeing Laura's anger, Marcus was worried about her blood pressure. If she got myocardial infarction or

cerebral infarction for that, the problem would be more serious. Therefore, he comforted Laura for a

while.

Then he said with a frown, “Maximilian, if you can’t explain it, you should be expelled from home.”

“Dad...”

Victoria wanted to say something, but Marcus stared at her before she finished her words.

“Hold your tongue. Let the bloke make up his story.”

“I've told you the truth. A few days ago, I helped a lost child to find his grandfather, who would like to

thank me with a lot of money.”

“I refused the money and he gave me the clothes instead. I never thought that the clothes were that

expensive, otherwise, I shall ask for the discounting.”

Maximilian pretended to be very regretful, as if he was really annoyed for not asking for a discount.

Victoria was helplessly and didn’t know what to say. He should polish the stereotyped story.

Laura was furious, “Did you hear that? What a nonsense! Even a fool wouldn't believe his story!”

“Maximilian, don’t you know the fate of a liar? You are given the last chance to tell the truth, or you will

be treated unkindly.”

Marcus put pressure on Maximilian, because he thought it was necessary to figure out the story of the

expensive clothes.

How could a poor suddenly wear luxury clothes? There must be a hidden secret!

“It's true. But the grandfather has a special identity,’ Maximilian said when he came up with an idea that

he should let president Williamson take all the things.

“Special identity? How special the identity is? You should make up your story carefully in case we

would see through your lie!” Exclusive content from .

Laura said unhappily.

“The child’s grandfather was Mr. Burton and you also met him before dinner. He said he owed me a

favor, so I used that in the box. Maybe that was not very cost-efficient?”

After saying the words, Maximilian went back to his room, while the ones left behind were very

astonished.

“We've met Mr. Burton before dinner? So he was the president Jonathan Burton!”

Marcus suddenly realized the things that he was confused about before.

At first, he couldn't understand why President Jonathan had changed his attitude after seeing

Maximilian. But now, everything was clear.

However, after figuring it out, Marcus was very regretful. That was a favor from president Burton! It

shall bring a lot of value!

However, the stupid Maximilian had used it on such an insignificant issue!

“That was a fucking favor from President Jonathan! How could Maximilian use it casually on a meal!

Shit! If we had asked president Williamson to help us with the business, our future would...” Laura

frowned and was trembling for anger.

“Victoria, see how stupid Maximilian is! That was a favor from President Jonathan and he had wasted it

without telling us, his families!”

Victoria sighed and also blamed Maximilian in her heart. He had wasted such a valuable opportunity,

which would make her family better if it were used appropriately.

However, he had already done it and it was useless to feel regretful.

“It was a favor got by Maximilian himself and it was his choice to use it that way. Maybe he just wanted

to save his face after being suppressed by the families for a long time,” said Victoria.

Laura was silent at that time. But after some thinking, she felt even more annoyed.

“Why do you still stand on his side? I think you should get divorced with him. Don't hesitate anymore.

Maximilian the crap couldn't even get such a good chance, so how could you look forward to his

success in the future? He is destined to be a crap!”

Hearing that Laura asked Victoria to divorce him again, Maximilian couldn't help but get out from his

room.

“Mother, do you remember that you had promised me if the clothes were real?” Maximilian said with his

head down and no one could see his expression.

Laura obviously had forgotten her promise. At the moment, she just felt embarrassed and her face was

twitching.

“How dare you a bastard to talk back to me? No son-in-law bargains with a mother-in-law, except you!

Instead, they show their respects to their mother-in-law. What about you? Look at the presents

Humphrey had given to me and then look at yourself. What did you give to me, to your father-in-law

and even to Victoria these years? Divorce my daughter at once! You the crap shouldn't hinder her from

getting her happiness!”

Laura suddenly broke out like a powder keg.

Victoria pushed Maximilian with her elbow, asking him to return to his room and he followed that quietly.

“Mom, don’t push me anymore. After getting married for so many years, we had feelings for each other,

let alone Sissi should grow up with her father’s accompany.”

Victoria worried more about Sissi’s feeling. Her dear daughter would be heart-broken if she divorced

her father now.

In order not to leave a psychic trauma to her daughter, Victoria didn't mind anything, let alone the sneer

caused by Maximilian.

“Why is my daughter so silly? If I were you, I would have beaten him to death!” said Laura with regretful

expression.

After a moment of silence, Victoria stated firmly, “Mom, it's useless. I won't get divorced with

Maximilian.”

“Alas!”

After a sigh, Laura became angry with Marcus, “Are you her father? Why don’t you persuade Victoria

but let her go instead? Our face was lost completely by that stupid son-in-law.”

“We are not the one who can decide Victoria’s marriage. The money you put in the investment

company is about to mature, remember to take a look,” spoke Marcus.
