Chapter 31: The Mysterious Rich Young Man
A family banquet was being held in the old mansion of the Griffiths.
Griffith's wife and third concubines, together with their children, all arrived and sat at the table. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
When Victoria brought Maximilian in, several relatives of the Griffiths began to sneer and say.
"Oh Victoria, why did you bring this worthless wretch?"
"Damned unlucky to see this good-for-nothing guy at this dinner!”
"Why is it that someone like a dog is following Victoria wherever she goes?”
The crowd roared with laughters, and the sarcasm on their faces was obvious.
Marcus and Laura came earlier and sat there feeling shameful and angry, glaring at Maximilian a few
times.
What a wimp! A guy like that was not worthy of Victoria at all! Laura secretly resolved to break them up
anyway.
Her daughter must marry into a rich family and become a rich lady!
Victoria's good-looking eyebrows twisted, but she pulled Maximilian to sit in an empty seat without
saying anything.
Next to her sat Iris, who was studying cosmetics live streaming and shouting in excitement.
"OMG, buy it! Buy it! I love you, Jaki!"
Then she placed her order directly without hesitation.
After making the payment, she only glanced arrogantly at Victoria and Maximilian on the side and
sneered.
"Phew, finally come here to for free meal. That's a shame. Victoria, in fact, you shouldn't have come
because later you'll bring disgrace to yourself."
Iris already knew about that incident, and it was Franklin who told her about it.
Great! It would be great to see Victoria being against in public.
Victoria frowned and didn't say anything.
Not long after, Mr. Samuel walked into the hall with the help of Franklin.
The crowd also hurriedly got up to greet Mr. Samuel.
"Well, sit down all. Since it's a family dinner, feel free to be yourselves.”
Mr. Samuel leaned on his cane and waved down with a smile on his face, beckoning to everyone to
take their seats.
Franklin sat beside Mr. Samuel and glanced at Victoria and Maximilian on the opposite side, with a cold
smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Victoria, you would be done soon!
It was me who would ultimately cooperate with the Graham Group!
After toasting each other, Mr. Samuel suddenly thought of something and asked,
"By the way, did you guys get anything about the Lee family that I asked you to inquire about last time?
If I remember correctly, there isn't a large family with the surname Lee in H City.”
Samuel was still haunted by the incident at the hospital last time and was quite shaken inside.
Samuel also had someone check out those gifts and medical instruments, which were really the most
expensive and rare ones!
They were not even things available with money.
Did the Lee family really take a fancy to Victoria?
At the dinner table, all of the Griffith's relatives shook their heads and said they didn't know.
The Lee family?
They really haven't heard of it. Was it from another city?
Such a character was not someone they could contact.
“Isn't Maximilian's surname Lee? Did he send those things here to save his daughter?”
Franklin said this with sarcasm, which immediately triggered laughters and contempts from the crowd.
Everyone knew that Maximilian was a notorious loser, earning several thousand dollars a month, and
he had to treat his dying mother with the Griffith's help.
"Franklin, you can't be joking. How can it be him, a loser? If it is him, I, Iris, will kneel down, kowtow to
him right now and apologize.”
Iris sneered unscrupulously, with her eyebrows raised, smug and arrogant.
"Haha, Maximilian just has the same surname as the Lee family. What can he do?"
Several of the young people present also snickered and said.
Victoria sat beside Maximilian, her slender body trembling slightly. Listening to these harsh words, she
felt very uncomfortable, and raised her eyebrows angrily,
"Shut up! What the hell are you trying to say? At least, Maximilian is my husband, the son-in-law of the
Griffith!"
Ah ah!
The crowd raised their eyebrows arrogantly and didn't say anything else.
However, Franklin scoffed and said,
"Victoria, that’s your fault, for we didn't admit him as the son-in-law of the Griffiths. What right does the
trash have to sit here?
This is the Griffith's family dinner, and he only deserves to eat with dogs!”
Then he tossed a bone to a dog on the ground.
A blatant insult.
Victoria was so angry that she was about to stand up, but a big warm hand pressed on her small hand.
She turned her head and saw the smiling face of Maximilian, who shook his head slightly and
whispered,
"Forget it.”
Victoria was aggrieved, staring at Maximilian with resentment, and her eyes filled with crystal tears.
How long was he going to remain as a wimp?
They humiliated him in this way. How can he still keep calm?
Well, Victoria left Maximilian aside, turned her head away from him, and drew her hand back as well.
Mr. Samuel also said a few words to stop the noise.
After all, it is meaningless to discuss it.
But a few young girls in the Griffith were flooded with thoughts.
Did such a lavishly rich young man actually fall in love with this loose woman Victoria?
It was impossible!
No, we had to get him first!
And at that moment, Iris, who was playing with her phone, suddenly shouted loudly,
"Grandpa, I know who that rich young man from the Lee family is.”
Then she rose proudly on her heels, gestured to the phone screen to the crowd, and said,
"You are all preconceived. Those things were, in fact, sent over by that rich young man, Lee, for my
sake! I have heard that a rich young man surnamed Lee is coming to H City recently. It is said to have
come from J City and has many listed companies. The Lee family is also very prestigious in J City, and
its status is quite high. He's coming for me!”
Iris was quite happy. Could such a rich man like the bitch Victoria?
He must be coming for her, Iris.
Because, among the younger generation of the Griffith, she was considered to be fairly beautiful.
When Mr. Samuel heard this, he was full of excitement, and asked,
"Are you serious? Is that rich young man, Lee, coming for you?”
Iris was very proud of herself at the moment and said,
"That's certainly true. I just asked a few friends and they said that the mysterious Lee, who arrived only
two days ago, hasn't shown up yet. However, it seemed that he had appeared at the Royal Court Club
last time, and even its chairman had personally come out to receive him. As you all know, is the Royal
Court Club a place where anyone can go?"
At these words, the crowd trembled!
The Royal Court Club was the most luxurious club in all of H City!
Good and bad people mixed up in it, but no one dared to cause trouble there.
Rumor had it that the chairman of the Royal Court Club was a big shot exceptionally adept at trickery!
Hearing this, Iris's parents, Darian and Kathy, came over excitedly to their daughter and said,
"Oh, dear! Iris, are you telling the truth? Has the Lee taken a fancy to you?"
Franklin stood aside with a temperamental expression and said disdainfully,
"Since he didn't show up, how do you know each other?"
What the hell was she doing? Stealing the show? Did she think by doing this, Grandpa would value
her?
