Dragon Master novel Maximilian

Chapter 71: Scheme against each other

Maximilian saw Victoria looking at herself suspiciously and was just about to speak when her phone

rang.

Victoria glanced at the caller ID and said with a slight twist of her willowy eyebrows

“What an obnoxious guy!"

Following that, she picked up the phone and asked politely.

“Hey, Travis, what's up?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

On the other end of the phone, Travis was excited and said.

“Victoria, did you get the invitation?"

Invitations? Victoria looked at the golden invitation from Vienna in her hand and suddenly realized it

was from Travis.

She thought it was Maximilian before.

Coming to her sense, how could Maximilian have given her the ticket to the Vienna Concert Hall?

It was So expensive.

"I got it, thank you." Victoria laughed and followed, "But this invitation, I can't......"

Victoria was just about to say that she couldn't accept it, while Travis seemed to know what she was

going to say, so he hurriedly interrupted her.

“Gee, just take it, as it's not worth much money. Consider it a token of my appreciation for you;

otherwise, it would be a waste if you didn't want it.”

"That's not very nice......" Victoria's heart was torn, as the saying goes, taking something from someone

for nothing is definitely a bit too much.

Besides, Travis always had a crush on her. If she accepted this gift, their relationship would be much

more difficult to explain.

Not to mention, Maximilian was still on the side right now.

“There's nothing wrong with it. Take it, I'll hang up now, as something's going on at work.”

With that, Travis hung up the phone in a hurry.

Victoria was helpless while holding the golden invitation in her hand, not knowing what to do for a

while.

“Who's calling?” Maximilian asked.

“It's from Travis, he said the invitation is from him.” Victoria answered.

Maximilian was stunned, did Travis say this invitation was from him?

He was daydreaming!

How could he let this guy pick up what he had got for nothing......

“Victoria, this invitation is actually......”

Just as Maximilian opened his mouth, Laura and Marcus came back at this moment.

After entering the door, Laura snorted and asked with a snarl of anger,

“Maximilian, what are you doing? The pot is burning!"

“Ah? Ohhhh, here I come!"

Maximilian slapped his thigh, and rushed to the kitchen before he was unable to finish his sentence.

Victoria looked at the busy figure in the kitchen, beamed her mouth and puzzled at what he was going

to say just now.

However, Victoria didn't care much about that. Holding the invitation in her hand, she hesitated for a

while and called Leila.

“Leila, go to the Vienna Concert Hall with me tomorrow night.”

“The Vienna Concert Hall? Victoria, did you snag the tickets?”

On the other end of the phone, Leila sounded excited.

“Travis gave it to me to take one with me." Victoria laughed.

“Travis? That guy is pretty good at what you like, much better than your Maximilian." Leila spoke up.

Following that, the two girls made a small talk.

At dinner, this matter was naturally known to Laura, who held the golden invitation and said with a smile

on her face,

“Oh, Marcus, look at Travis, how thoughtful he was. This is the Vienna Concert Hall, our daughter's

favorite, and this child just knows how to care for people.”

Marcus looked at the golden invitation, gave a perfunctory response, looked at Maximilian and kicked

him under the table, then asked. "Oh, Maximilian, don't you say anything?"

Maximilian chuckled. "Dad, what can I say? Do you believe me if I say this is from me?

Besides, it doesn't matter to me as long as it's something Victoria likes.”

Once he heard this, Marcus shook his head with a bit of disappointment.

After all, he was his son-in-law. Witnessing an outsider make such a big show of affection for his

daughter, Marcus was a little upset in his heart.

As a traditional saying goes, a woman should be content with the man she has married regardless of

his fate.

He, Maximilian, as Victoria's husband, would really be a coward if he didn't stand up and say

something or do something in this situation.

And when Victoria heard this, her face brushed red, and she felt guilty toward Maximilian in her heart.

After all, he was her husband, but she didn't seem to consider Maximilian’s feelings at all.

However, she was very much looking forward to the concert of Mr. Joe Hisaishi, and it was getting on

her nerves.

“I'm full." Victoria put down her chopsticks and went back to her bedroom.

While seeing this, Laura glared at Marcus and followed by yelling at Maximilian in a bossy manner.

"It's all because of you! What nonsense did you just say? How can a loser like you afford a ticket to the

Vienna Concert Hall? Look at it! It's a special guest seat! This ticket is hard to come by!"

Maximilian didn't say anything while eating his meal in silence.

At night, while lying on the floor, Maximilian stayed awake.

Victoria, who was lying on her side on the bed, didn't fall asleep either. She kept thinking about the

invitation in her mind and wanted to explain something to Maximilian several times, but in the end, she

couldn't say it.

“Maximilian, if you don't want me to go, then I don't go.” Suddenly, in darkness, Victoria seemed to

have gathered enough courage to say the words.

With a faint smile on his lips, Maximilian said. "Go ahead, it's okay! Good night.”

Victoria wanted to say something, but she didn't.

The next day, Victoria came to the company early, and there were a few projects needed to be re-

examined.

However, once she arrived at the company, Victoria felt that everyone in the company seemed to avoid

her.

“Hey, Cadence, is something going on at the office?” Victoria asked her assistant.

The assistant, who was looking furtive, whispered,

“Victoria, you don't know, an investor came to our company, a woman. Her family is very rich, but she

had a bad temper. Moreover, she came over early in the morning looking for you, you should be

careful.”

Victoria's willow-shaped eyebrows twisted, followed by a smile and she said,

“I don't know the new investor, so why should I be targeted?” The assistant sighed helplessly and said.

“Victoria, you don't know, she is Manager Franklin's girlfriend. It's said that she’s going to clean you up

for Manager Franklin.”

Victoria was stunned, the scheme against each other in the workplace was really everywhere.

What was even more ridiculous was that Franklin couldn't deal with her, so he asked his girlfriend to

deal with her?

But she didn't care at all, and laughed, "Well, don't speak or act on hearsay, Manager Franklin and I are

cousins. He's not like that.

Besides, I didn't do anything wrong, so on what basis does that investor target me?"

Her assistant pouted and nodded, but was still worried enough to warn her,

“Victoria, I advise you to be careful, the new investor is not to be messed with. She is so domineering

that even Grandpa Samuel has to look at her face."

Victoria's heart trembled slightly and then nodded to indicate that she knew, and then she took the new

project plan and review report and returned to her office.

Since the vice president's office hadn't been cleared out yet, Victoria was still in her old office for the

time being.

Ten minutes later, Victoria went out of the office.

Here came a noble and cold woman with soft curves. She wore a fire red strapless shirt with a black

hip skirt, a pair of slender legs stepping on high heels, showcasing her wasp waist and thin hips, and

her big waves of hair cascading behind the head and crystal earrings shining with the starlight of

diamonds.

She had a kind of queenly aura!

Her face was cold, and her brow was high.

It was not easy to greet such a stranger.

Victoria smiled and prepared to side-step out of the way.

However, the woman walked straight up to Victoria, raised her hand, and slapped Victoria's face

harshly!
