Chapter 139: You Go First

There came Humphrey hurriedly.

He was just wondering about how to remedy his dishonor last time when Laura called him.

In his opinion, with the help of Laura, he had more opportunities to marry her beautiful daughter.

Laura became more confident as Humphrey arrived. “This is Humphrey Carter, the general manager of DK Investments. Humphrey, these are my friends. We are all defrauded by this company. Please help us to get the money back. That is the money reserved for the rest of our lives.”

“I see. Let me make some phone calls first to make clear its background.”

Humphrey didn’t make a promise at once, but had a research first. He was more cautious than before because of his loss last time.

“Well, Lucy, since your son-in-law have already got some information, let him tell Humphrey. Don’t waste our time,” said Laura, with her eyes slightly squinting.

Lucy knew Laura was flaunting. But in order to have her money back, she had no choice but called Andy.

Andy was shocked when he saw Humphrey. He had heard the name many times before, because Humphrey was very popular in the investment circle in H City.

“Mr. Carter, I'm Andy, working at police office. It's my pleasure to meet you here again after the symposium last time.”

Humphrey felt very satisfied with Andy’s words. He believed that he deserved a respect like that, and his awkward moment at Marcus's birthday party was just an accident.

“Oh, I have an impression on you, Andy. You are in the fourth group, aren't you?”

Humphrey said like Andy was his follower.

“That's it. You have a very good memory. You are the example for me! Sometimes, I even dream of working for you, Mr. Carter.”

Andy could only be a team leader even if he tried his best.

He wanted more, so he was determined to flatter Humphrey, who could make him richer in the future.

“Your job is more comfortable than mine. Investment makes me be on tenterhooks. Let us focus on today’smatter and ask the money back for these aunts,” said Humphrey proudly.

At that moment, Lucy and the other women all paid more attention to Humphrey. He became a noble with the help of Andy's flatter.

“Right. I've got the information that the boss used to hold an underground bank, who is also a mighty one. It seems difficult to have the money back. These are the information that I’ve got.”

When Andy was speaking, Maximilian saw Humphrey and came back.

Lily showed her disgust immediately at Maximilian.

“Wow, the crap is back. Laura, I think Humphrey, who is both handsome and capable, is much more suitable to be your son-in-law than the crap.”

“That's right. If Mr. Carter were your son-in-law, you should have lived a happy life and we could also have benefited a lot from you. Besides, you didn't need to invest money to such an unreliable company.”

Seeing Maximilian, Humphrey raised his eyebrow. He wanted to humiliate Maximilian by this chance in order to avenge his embarrassment last time.

“What brings you jerk here? Haven't you realized that you are useless? Why not find some chairs and buy some snack for all of us? Maybe it will end until this afternoon.”

Humphrey treated Maximilian as a servant. After the words, he opened his purse full of cash and threw some banknotes to Maximilian.

“That is too long. I can solve the problem with only a phone call,” said Maximilian lowering his head. Nobody could see his expression.

“Oops, ha ha!”

Andy burst out a belly laugh and saw Maximilian as if he was really a fool.

“Did I hear it wrongly? You must be bragging. Did you brush your teeth this morning? I can smell the rubbish from your mouth. You can solve it by a phone call? Stop being so ignorant!”

Lucy and the others also laughed at Maximilian. They knew what he was like.

At that moment, everyone regarded Maximilian’s words as a mere bragging.

“When did you learn to brag? Who do you think you are? You are just a jerk. Go away and don't trouble us.”

“Comparing with Mr. Carter, you are like a toad. Piss off! It’s not a problem that you jerk can deal with.”

Laura shouted to Maximilian with a bad expression, “Fuck off! Don’t disturb us. Stop being silly. You make me feel embarrassed.”

Humphrey was very delighted in his heart, because everyone here was blaming Maximilian.

To make his delight staying longer, Humphrey added, “Let me make a phone call. I’m sure we can contact with their staff.”

Laura and the others became hopeful at once, because they hadn't seen anyone related to the company after such a long time.

If Humphrey could contact with the staff, their money would come back in no time.

“Humphrey, go for it. If you can solve the problem, I'll remember you in my heart.”

Laura said as she winked to Humphrey, hinted that Maximilian would fuck off as soon as he fixed it.

All at once, Humphrey was full of energy and then made contacts immediately.

Soon he told them confidently with his hands in the pockets, “That's it. One of the directors will be here later. But we should keep away from the crowd. It’s easy to ask your money back. As for others, I can’t deal with it.”

“Humphrey is right. Let’s wait. Maximilian, you are completely a stupid jerk. Go and do what Humphrey told you to!”

Laura stared at Maximilian with anger.

Maximilian sneered and then walked to a store nearby.

Soon he returned with some plastic chairs, bottled water and snacks, standing in front of Laura.

“Maximilian, why are you not as brave as the last time? Someone I called will be here in a minute. Go to find your man and we'll see who can solve the problem more quickly.”

Humphrey said the words only to make fun of Maximilian, because he believed Maximilian must have no way out.

Maximilian replied disdainfully, “You go first, and I'll take measures when you fail.”
