Chapter 682 An Unhappy Family?

Chapter 682 An Unhappy Family?

In H City Hotel.

A young lady with amazing figure was wandering around anxiously in the lobby, shooting a glance at the Patek Philippe watch on her wrist from time to time.

This was Beatrice, the daughter of Marcus’ first love and classmate that he had mentioned yesterday. She was waiting for Maximilian’s arrival at this moment.

The doorman pushed open the hotel gate, and Maximilian strode in.

Beatrice took a glance at Maximilian, and then looked down at her phone. There was a big photo of Maximilian on the screen.

After confirming the comer was who she had been waiting for, Beatrice showed a bright smile, looking stunning.

A few hotel guests passing by stared blankly at Beatrice, drooling over her.

Maximilian walked over to Beatrice calmly as if the one in front of him was not a charming beauty, but some modest-looking woman.

Maximilian had long been immune to ordinary beauties since he appreciated Victoria’s beauty every day. Beatrice looked pretty, but her temperament and charm were slightly inferior to Victoria’s.

Seeing Maximilian’s composed face, Beatrice couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, and even started to throw doubts upon her own appearance and charisma.

Beatrice looked at other men around, and found many of them were drooling over her. Therefore, her confidence in her appearance was restored a little.

Seemingly, it was not that she wasn’t pretty enough, but because this Maximilian was too indifferent to appreciate her beauty.

"Mr. Lee, you’re VERY punctual."

Beatrice stressed the word very, blaming Maximilian for arriving just in time but keeping a beauty like her waiting in the lobby for so long.

In the past, Beatrice had always been the one being waited by others, and it was the first time for her to wait somebody else in public.

Maximilian shrugged smartly and said with a casual air, "Punctuality is a good quality, which is something I’ve possessed all along."

The smile froze on Beatrice’s face. It didn’t occur to her that she would get such an answer. She thought to herself. Maximilian was indeed an arrogant man. If it weren’t for the fact that she was threatened, she would never deal with such a man.

"You must have an unhappy family, don’t you, Mr. Lee?"

Maximilian threw a surprised glance at Beatrice.

"My wife and I are very intimate to each other, so forget about being the other woman."

Having heard what Maximilian said to Beatrice, the onlookers around were stamping their feet in anxiety.

'Bro, this is a perfect opportunity, and how can you ruin it with that answer? Do you know how to pick up a girl?”

“If not, step aside and let us do it. We simply can’t hold ourselves back from approaching a beauty like her!'

Beatrice stared blankly at Maximilian, wishing she could kill herself by hitting a piece of tofu. Had she just gone nuts by asking Maximilian such a question? Beatrice really wanted to give herself a slap on the face at this point of time.

With a livid face, Beatrice threw a fierce look at Maximilian, turned around and walked towards the elevator.

Maximilian followed behind Beatrice, walking steadily.

Now that Maximilian was entrusted by his father-in-law with the task, he had to finish it. Maximilian was a man of his words, so he wasn’t agitated by Beatrice’s attitude.

Only Maximilian and Beatrice were in the elevator. Beatrice rolled her eyes, moving closer to Maximilian.

"I’m a little curious about your woman. Could you please tell me more about her?"

Maximilian frowned slightly and answered with a confused look, "Why are you interested in my woman? Normally speaking, you should be interested in me. Are you a lesbian?"

Beatrice clasped her hands over her chest, choking back the blood she was about to spit out.

"You wrong me. I’m straight. It’s just because I’m curious about you, and hence curious about your woman. I wonder what kind of woman would bear living with you every day."

Maximilian replied with a smile, "The woman who can live with me must have at least saved the Galaxy in her last life, so that she has the opportunity to live with me and enjoy the most gorgeous life in this life."

Stunned for a moment, Beatrice put out her hand to cover her mouth and burst into laughter.

"Aren’t you… aren’t you a sweet talker? You can really flatter yourself."

"I never flatter myself. After all, I lay low and never show off myself. The reason you say so is because you don’t know much about me."

Arms crossed in front of her chest, Beatrice twisted her shoulders gently, puckered her lips and said in a soft voice, "Then, can I get a deeper understanding of you?"

Maximilian answered in astonishment, "Deeper understanding? Which kind of deeper understanding are you talking about? Women nowadays are not reserved at all. How could you ask a question like this so casually?"

"Go fuck yourself! I am not talking about that kind of deeper understanding. I’m so mad at you!"

Beatrice almost flared up. She stamped her feet hard and said, "Let’s stop talking nonsense and come straight to the point. You opponent this time is not some ordinary guy. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked for your help."

Maximilian yawned and said casually, "Then tell me about him, and I’ll take it as a story. It won’t take me more than a few minutes to fix him anyway."

"Seriously, though, your opponent this time is an old hand in gambling. His name is Duncan, nick name King of Cheating. It’s said that his hand speed is quicker than the fps of a high-speed camera, which means, if one uses a high-speed camera to shoot his hand movements, and then replays the video in slow motion frame-by-frame, no one can ever tell how he cheats."

"Well, it sounds fun, but it’s nothing new. He’s just a small rival."

Seeing that Maximilian wasn’t on alert yet, Beatrice raised her eyebrows and wished she could give Maximilian a hard pinch.

"Maximilian, I admit that you’re powerful, but please don’t look down upon the other masters in the world, OK? That Duncan has swept the casinos all over the world. He has held the record of winning 1.8 billion overnight in a big gambling house abroad!"

"Wow, I didn’t know that one could make so much money by gambling! It’s a pity I can only play dice, or else I would go abroad and sweep the casinos all over the world. One trip around the world and I will be a billionaire." Maximilian said, wagging his head.

Watching Maximilian’s careless look, Beatrice got so angry that she gritted her teeth, wishing that she could grasp Maximilian and give him a nasty bite.

"Do you know what it means by winning 1.8 billion overnight? By doing that, first, one has to cheat without being caught by the casino; second, he has to defeat those master bankers in succession. Do you know the bankers cheat with the help of the hidden devices in the casino? Duncan has won even in such condition, and that requires superb cheating skills!"

Beatrice explained the whole situation to Maximilian patiently, hoping he could be more serious.

Maximilian waved his hand and then picked his ear with his little finger. "Alright, that Duncan has impressed me. He’s got the goods and is highly skilled. How about I give up directly?"

"You, you, damn it!"

Beatrice’s eyes turned red. She felt that she was really pissed off at Maximilian.

DING!

The elevator door opened slowly, interrupting Beatrice’s anger.
