CHAPTER 848 A FIERCE BATTLE
Maximilian stretched himself and woke up to find Victoria checking on her laptop. Suddenly, she looked All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
troubled. Seeing this, he looked at her laptop subconsciously and found that she was looking at the
trends of Topyuan Group’s stock price which plunged so dramatically that it was on the verge of crash.
It didn’t make sense. If it kept dipping, things would be out of control.
“What’s going on? Is the laptop broken?” Victoria was so upset and couldn’t believe that her company’s
stock price just dropped completely. Every morning she checked her company’s stock price with the
hope that it would become better and better. To her surprise, it ended up this way.
Maximilian said calmly, “I say you stop checking it now. Call your assistant to find it out later. Maybe the
laptop is broken.”
Victoria nodded then she got a call from her assistant and was told that Topyuan Group had been
attacked by many companies and the stock price was on the verge of crash which might result in
bankruptcy later today if things kept going on.
Victoria didn’t expect it to be so terrible. She was too shocked to believe it. “How is that possible?” said
Victoria suspiciously.
Maximilian believed that there must be someone rocking the boat. There were only two people who
could cause this trouble, be it Dragon Queen or Head of dragon lords. No matter who it was, he
wouldn’t let them have their way.
The plunge of Topyuan Group’s stock price also caught the attention of the TV station which broadcast
the news. Quite a lot of people watched the news and reacted differently.
In the largest racing club in H City, Canaan happened to see the news on TV. He frowned at the news
because he was crystal clear that Topyuan Group was the base for his master Maximilian and his wife.
It never occurred to him that such crisis would happen to Topyuan Group. He didn’t called his master.
Instead, he bought as many of Topyuan Group’s stock shares as he could.
In the luxury office, Theo and Darian were also shocked at the news for a moment. Then they became
happy watching the news because it was not bad news but great news to them. They were almost
thrilled to see Topyuan Group in such a crisis.
“Haha! Karma is real, Victoria.” Darian burst into laughter knowing that it was about Victoria while Theo
began to look troubled.
“Brother, what are you frowning at? Isn’t it great news?” asked Darian in doubt.
“I’m just worried that the Griffith’s company may be implicated if Topyuan Group goes bankrupt.” It was
not Topyuan Group but the Woods’ company that he was worried about. Although the Griffith’s
company was no longer his, he had always been thinking of reclaiming it from Victoria. It didn’t bother
him if Topyuan Group went broke. What bothered him was that the Griffith’s might go broke as well.
“Then how?” Darian became worried too when he heard that the Griffith’s might go broke as well.
Theo said in a low voice, “There’s only one solution. That is to ask Dad to make Victoria break up with
the Griffiths and hand over her rights of ruling the Griffith’s company.”
“Isn’t that way out of line?” Darian was ashamed of hearing that. Although he was ruthless, he, unlike
his brother, still had his conscience on such issues.
“The wages of avarice is death,” sneered Theo.
On a second thought, his temporary conscience was gone completely. Darian said eagerly, “Then, why
are we still here. Let’s go talk to Dad.”
Theo grinned. He thought his younger brother was for a moment soft-hearted. Yet, it turned out he was
a bird of the same feather.
On the terrace Dragon Queen and Harley were having sex with the TV on. When Dragon Queen heard
the news, she was so excited that she got on the TV. And Harley had to bite his lip and hold his
impulse when he was about to take the move.
“Great! Nailed it,” exclaimed Dragon Queen.
Harley just suffered from his physiological need but he still managed to smile at her. He said in an
exhausted voice, “Brilliant, Dragon Queen! You’ve taken the right measure.”
Dragon Queen sneered at him, “Why are you so weak? Is your kidney not working?”
Harley was unhappy to hear that because it was a humiliation to a man. But he had to admit that he
really indulged himself too much on sex over these years. But he dared not say anything considering
Dragon Queen’s authority.
Dragon Queen sneered, “Maximilian, I wonder how you get through this crisis.”
The news that Topyuan Group’s stock price plunged became pervasive in H City. Not many people
were concerned about it. Some didn’t give a damn while some pitied it. But there were people who
could tell that a fierce battle was around the corner.
Connor stood with his hands on his waist, looking at the gloomy sky. He was not sure whether he
should get involved in it or stay out of it when he learned the news about Topyuan Group. It was difficult
for him to decide which one to take sides with. Even if he had decided, he might not have the ability to
make it.
Chief Carr wouldn’t have paid attention to the news if it were at usual. When he learned that
Maximilian’s wife was Victoria and the news, he couldn’t stay calm.
Nobody could be sure what it would be. It was like a gamble on a secret and fierce battle between
Dragon Queen and the young master of Dragon Sect. The insiders struggled to take sides in fear of
getting themselves into trouble and at the same time missing out on the opportunity. Everyone was
waiting to see which side was more likely to win and then bet on it.
Victoria was not worried about Maximilian. What troubled her most was that she might lose Topyuan
Group again for which she would be lashed out.
On the contrary, Maximilian remained calmed and lighted a cigarette, looking at the sky casually.
Victoria felt relieved when she saw Maximilian’s confident smile.
