CHAPTER 103: HE'S THE RICHEST MAN
The door opened. Maximilian was standing outside the door.
The expression on Laura's face froze. And she said with a puzzled expression, "Weren't you arrested,
how come you were released?"
Maximilian laughed, “Mom, I didn't break any laws, so they naturally let me out.”
At the same time, when Victoria heard Maximilian's voice, she rushed over and hugged Maximilian with
tears.
Maximilian comforted her, “Alright, alright, I'm fine, I'm out now.”
In the living room, the family sat together.
Laura and Marcus were sitting on the sofa. Their eyes were sharp with anger, staring at Maximilian with
the intention of questioning.
Beside Maximilian, an old man was sitting there, none other than Wilfred.
Laura kept staring at Wilfred and said unhappily, “Maximilian, who is this old man? Why do you
casually bring someone we don't know into my house?’
Laura didn't like this old man’s dress. He was still wearing a suit at such an age. And he was holding a
black hat that she had never seen before. He kept smiling. At first glance, he was old and dishonest.
It was no wonder that Maximilian was arrested when he hung out with such a person.
Maximilian blandly explained, “Mom, he is a friend of mine... this time I can get out because of his
help."
As for what kind of friend, Maximilian didn't point it out.
If he told them the old man sitting in front of them was the richest man in the Chuzhou Region and was
his housekeeper, would they go crazy?
“I am Wilfred, nice to meet you.”
Wilfred had done an investigation and knew that Maximilian's mother-in-law was a ruthless woman.
She was notoriously aggressive and unreasonable. And when he saw her today, she was truly
extraordinary.
“Wil ... Wilfred?”
Victoria suddenly realized. She looked seriously at the person beside Maximilian for a few moments
and said in astonishment,
“You are really Mr. Wilfred?”
“Victoria, you know this old man?"
Laura squeezed her mouth and sneered.
“Mom, Wilfred is the richest man in the Chuzhou Region. And it seems that he is also the chairman of
New Hemp Group...” Victoria said excitedly.
Her husband knew Wilfred!
More importantly, wasn't this old man the one who Maximilian helped at the hospital door last time?
It seemed that he was also the boss of Lasdun. After all, it was because of Maximilian that Lasdun's
matter was solved last time.
"The richest man in the Chuzhou Region? him?"
Laura looked at Wilfred up and down with contempt and said with a disgusted look, “Victoria, don't joke
with Me! How can Maximilian know such a rich man? Besides, not just anyone called Wilfred is the
richest man.”
It was understandable that Laura didn't know Wilfred. She didn't care about the business world, and
she was only interested in trivial matters.
Moreover, in her eyes, Maximilian was a loser. Could he know such a rich man?
If he did, she could kowtow to him!
Faced with Laura's ridicule, Wilfred's face twitched, but he kept holding back his temper.
Victoria was even more anxious and kept winking at Laura, but she ignored her all and sneered even
harder.
"Maximilian, from now on, don't bring cats and dogs to the house, or you won't enter my house either!”
Laura said discontentedly, and the dark bags under her eyes revealed cynicism.
However, at that moment, a news item was suddenly inserted on the television.
“According to the latest news, Mr. Wilfred, the chairman of New Hemp Group, has personally funded
one billion dollars to build the largest police academy in the city, as a contribution to the city's stable
development.”
As the news was broadcasting, the whole living room became dead silent!
Especially the picture of Wilfred and the video of the interview were also on the screen!
Laura's eyes were wide, staring at the richest man in that picture. And then her eyes kept moving back
and forth over the old man in front of her.
“Oh my god!”
Laura was shivering with fear at that moment and pointed at the TV, "You, you, you ... you're really that
Wilfred, that richest man, Mr. Wilfred?"
Oh my God!
Laura was devastated! What did she just do? What did she just say? She was stupid, so stupid!
Such a rich man would come to visit her house, and she kept satirizing him.
“Oh, ... Mr. Wilfred, please don't misunderstand me. Please don't mind my words. I'm just an old lady.
All the things I said just now are farts. Please don't listen to it.”
Laura was panic. She was excited and flattered to get up. She hurriedly made tea and prepared some
fruits, and she just wanted to stuff them all into Wilfred's mouth.
Wilfred smiled blandly and politely said, “Don't bother. I just send Maximilian home, and I'll be leaving
soon.”
"It does not bother at all. When Mr. Wilfred comes to our house, it is just honor to see you her. Please
help yourself. These are the fruits I just bought today, and this is also the best Maojian tea. I am
reluctant to serve my husband this tea at home.”
Laura's attitude had changed suddenly, and she became very attentive.
Even Marcus wanted to utter a few words but was interrupted by her.
"Sit there and read your newspaper.” Laura said to Marcus. And then she turned her head, and her
eyes were lighted up, staring at Wilfred as if she was looking at a national treasure.
Victoria was helpless, it was a shame that her mother behaved like this.
She wanted to kick people out one second ago, but now she wanted her eyes to be glued to him.
“Mom, Mr. Wilfred is busy with his day, and he needs to have a rest now." Victoria said.
Laura glared directly at Victoria and said, "What do you know? Don't talk nonsense.”
After that, she got up again and smiled. And then she glared directly at Maximilian and said, "Get up
and sit over there.”
Maximilian had no choice but to get up.
Laura sat next to Wilfred with her big buttocks. And her face was full of flatting and said," Mr. Wilfred,
how do you know Maximilian?"
Now she talked about Maximilian. How shameless she was!
Although Laura wanted to befriend Wilfred, she understood in her heart.
If a wimp like Maximilian could know such an entrepreneur, then the sun had come out of the west.
Wilfred smiled and said, "Maximilian and I met by chance, and he did me a favor. This time when
something happened to him, I am returning the favor.”
“Oh, a favor." Laura muttered smilingly, glancing at Maximilian with displeasure.
She thought that Maximilian was something great, but he turned out to be a loser again.
He had to save him for this favor! If she had done it herself, she would have asked for a million dollars
or so.
Maximilian was helpless and did not say anything.
At this time, Wilfred got up and shook hands with the crowd, “Sorry, since Maximilian is fine, I will go
back first. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.”
How could Laura see the money bag leaving just like this? She hurriedly took Wilfred's hand and said, Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"Mr. Wilfred, thank you for helping Maximilian out. Next time you must come to my house for dinner.”
Wilfred smiled, said a few polite words, and left.
Laura personally escorted him out of the door. And after waiting for him to get into the Rolls-Royce and
left, she went back with an unfulfilled expression.
A Rolls-Royce! That was a luxury car!
As soon as she entered, she excitedly shouted, “Marcus, our family is going to be rich. He is Wilfred.
He is rich!"
Marcus gave her a cold glance and said, "Then you were just about to kick him off.”
Marcus was unhappy that such a rich and important person had come to his house, but he didn't have
a chance to say anything to him, and his wife said something she should say in the first place.
Laura gave him a white glance. Her heart was full of joys, but others did not know what she was
thinking. When she saw Maximilian was still in the house, she changed her usual disgust and dislike for
him and sat down in front of him with a smile.
"Maximilian, don't blame me for treating you that way before. If you had told Mum earlier that you knew
Wilfred, I would have treated you like my son.”
Laura was so shameless.
When Maximilian had no money and no power, she humiliated and scolded him in various ways. Now
that Maximilian knew Mr. Wilfred, she said she should treat him like her son.
Victoria felt that Laura had gone too far. Her mother was too snobbish.
"Well, Maximilian, in the future, you should go and befriend with Mr. Wilfred more. It will definitely do no
harm to you.” Laura said, and then asked, "What did you help him last time?"
That was what Laura was most concerned about, and she was thinking about whether she could get
some money from Wilfred.
Maximilian lied to him, “Last time I met Mr. Wilfred on the street. He didn't know the way, so I gave him
directions. He should be in a hurry to go to the hospital at that time. It's not a big deal.
"He didn't give you any money?" Laura's eyes stared straight at Maximilian when these words came
out.
Last time he had given her $50,000 and made a big joke of her because she found a balance of
millions in the account.
Could it be that the $50,000 was from Mr. Wilfred?
Mr. Wilfred must give him more than $50,000!
This brat must have hidden the rest of the money!
She must get it from him!
"Mum, what are you thinking? You still don't know what kind of person Maximilian is? Can he ask
others for money?’ Victoria said at this time, and her face was cold.
What did her mother mean? Did she suspect Maximilian?
“What do you know? shut up!” Laura said to Victoria, and then examined Maximilian and said,
"Maximilian, you call me Mom, my daughter married you and suffered for four years. Your father and I
also lost face because of you, so you can't hide it from us, how much did you actually get?"
She was certain Maximilian must have received the money from Mr. Wilfred.
Maximilian looked at Victoria and sighed slightly, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
Being targeted by Laura, he would have to shed his skin.
“It is a total of about $200,000. And the $150,000 is for Sissi's medical treatment.” That was all
Maximilian could say.
Two hundred thousand dollars!
Once she heard this figure, Laura was in high spirits. She stared at Maximilian, took out her majesty as
a mother-in-law, reached out her hand. "Give me the card, I'll keep it for you.”
