Chapter 244 Who Were You?

Chapter 244 Who Were You?

There was a silence among the crowd instantly, and they all looked at Alfie as if they were looking a fool. Considering what had happened just now, how dare Alfie make trouble for Maximilian?

There was only extreme hate of Maximilian in Alfie’s heart. He thought if he could not expose the true color of Maximilian, his status in the Wright Family would experience a disastrous decline.

It was faked! It was Maximilian’s trick of asking Connor and others to stage a show with him.

Alfie was roaring in his heart.

At this moment, Alfie thought he was a heroic fighter and was about to expose the ugly face of the demon and become a hero respected by everyone.

But the next second, a follower of Connor slapped Alfie bitterly in his face.

"Clap!" With a loud sound, the man gave Alfie a second slap, and then Alfie's face swelled in an instant.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you to yell at Mr. Lee!” The man shouted harshly.

There was a sound of broken ice in Alfie’s heart. The dream of a hero to be he had entertained shattered in an instant.

The slap not only shattered Alfie’s fantasy but made him wake up from drunkenness.

Covering his face with his hands, he shrank back and dared not show his anger but with extreme fear in his heart.

Staring at the magnificent figure of Maximilian, Alfie felt a chill in his heart as if his blood turned cold.

It was real! Connor, Phillip and Thomas were all respectful to Maximilian!

Alfie could not figure out how things became this, since they all thought Maximilian was a loser!

Noticing Alfie’s flinch, Drew and Tommy did gloat over his frustration but felt sad for his end.

If they laughed at Alfie, they were also laughing at themselves, since they humiliated and ridiculed Maximilian just now. If Maximilian would really take revenge on them, the entire Wright Family would have a hard time.

Sylvie’s face turned pale. Looking at Maximilian with fear, she even wanted to slap herself, regretting that she should not offend Maximilian for fun. She was scared that Maximilian would take revenge on her later.

Jessica bit her lower lip with upper teeth so hard that her lower lip was bleeding, but she did not notice it at all.

At this moment, Jessica couldn’t feel any pain, because all the pain she could feel was in her heart.

She despised Victoria for marring the loser before, but the loser had become a man of the honor now.

“It’s gold that always shines.” Hugo murmured softly and other Wright Family members heard his words clearly.

There was a feeling of powerlessness in Carson, Gibson and others.

The Wright Family would not pay any attention to Maximilian, as if he was just like a snake, but he had changed into a dragon, which the Wright Family could only look up to.

Thinking of their mockery of Maximilian just now, they regretted a lot.

Hugo walked shakily towards Maximilian, and other Wright Family members followed him.

“Since Master Connor, Master Phillip and Master Thomas would like to sit here; I’m willing to sit here to accompany you.”

Hugo was clear that since the three men came here for Maximilian and they all thought the place where Maximilian stayed was the main table, Hugo dared not to sit at somewhere else, but to sit together with them.

If he met the three on another occasion, Hugo was not even qualified to sit at the final place.

Pulling up the chair, Hugo leaned to sit down and smiled at the three. Hugo now could not put his dignity aside to smile at Maximilian.

The three paid no attention to Hugo at all and all their attentions were focused on Maximilian.

Maximilian was uncomfortable under the eyes of the three and the Wright Family members behind Hugo, and then he lost his appetite.

“I’m kind of tired, and I’ll go back with Victoria.” Maximilian said and held Victoria’s hand to stand up. Then he tipped the three a wink before he went out with Victoria.

Watching Maximilian walk out of the atrium, the Wright Family members breathed a sigh of relief. Maximilian maintained the dignity for the Wright Family by not making troubles for them.

Connor, Phillip and Thomas looked at each other. They all had sharp eyes, so they were quite clear about the meaning Maximilian conveyed with his eyes.

"Hugo is really good at running the family. I have heard that Wright Family is a family of poetry and books, and it lives up to its reputation."

"The Wright Family is famous in H City. You should uphold your good tradition and don't do anything to ruin your reputation."

“You’d better cultivate your children well, or it’s bad for your family if they do not grow up with good qualities.”

The three said one after another, and their words implied something.

Hugo was on tenterhooks and was about to explain, but only to see the three leave.

“Now that Mr. Lee has gone, we’ll leave either. Enjoy yourselves.” Connor said and then left with Phillip and Thomas.

Hugo sat blankly in the chair, sweat sheathed on his forehead.

Carson stood there motionlessly, recalling their words.

The guests were shocked again, and then there was a heated discussion. It seemed that the sound would overturn the roof of the atrium.

“The Mr. Lee who sent the deluxe gift must be Maximilian. There can’t be anyone else. Maximilian must be a member of a wealthy family considering the attitudes of Master Connor to him.”

“Maybe Maximilian just changes his clothes and hides his identity. After leading a wealthy life for a long time, he just wants to experience another kind of life. It’s a pity that the Wright Family is not perceptive enough to seize the opportunity.”

“But I’ve never heard of a Family Lee among the top tycoons. Is it possible that Maximilian is an illegitimate son of a big shot? But considering Maximilian’s demeanor, he will definitely be a big shot in the future.”

The guests were guessing the identity of Maximilian. If Maximilian hadn’t left, many would make a toast to him and try to build a good relation with him.

However, Maximilian left, and Connor, Phillip, Thomas also left.

Looking at the three leaving after Maximilian, everyone understood that the three bigwigs were all here for Maximilian and left after Maximilian. It had nothing to do with the Wright Family at all.

If it had something to do with Wright Family, it was because of Maximilian.

When the Wright Family members were stunned and in a trance, Maximilian and Victoria had walked out.

Walking out of the house of Wright Family, Victoria could no longer hold back her doubts, then she stopped, looking at Maximilian with a serious expression and asked, “Maximilian, tell me the truth. Who are you and what’s going on just now?”
