Chapter 763 The Most Valuable Product

Chapter 763 The Most Valuable Product

Barnaby was at least in his fifties. He treated Maximilian as his grandpa as if Maximilian were over one hundred years old.

Even if Barnaby did not blush, Maximilian refused to accept their flattery.

Barnaby realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected himself, "Exactly, Mr. Lee. It’s my fault."

The apprentice of Barnaby realized the seriousness of the matter and said weakly, "I stole something from Mr. Lee's girlfriend."

Barnaby almost fainted and thought that the boy was so daring. Since that time, he did not dare to provoke Maximilian anymore.

However, his apprentice actually stole something from Maximilian. He was looking for trouble provoking such a villain.

The apprentice did not understand the situation and said, "Master, you are friends. Right?"

Barnaby tried hard managing to control himself not to slap this fool. They were not fucking friends. He only wanted to stay as far as possible from Maximilian.

"I’m not qualified to be Mr. Maximilian’s friend." Barnaby coughed and said angrily, "Apologize to Mr. Lee right now."

At the worst, he would give up his apprentice. He was mainly afraid that Maximilian would not let him go, which was exactly what he was most worried about.

Barnaby's apprentice obediently apologized to Maximilian.

Sitting in a chair, Barnaby was nervous as if sitting on a spiked rug. He did not dare to look into Maximilian's eyes. The cold sweat on his forehead kept dripping, and finally he could not help standing up subconsciously.

"Mr. Lee, if there is nothing important, I’ll go first." Barnaby just wanted to run away early, so he said goodbye to Maximilian.

Maximilian did not stop him. Barnaby was glad and thought that Maximilian would not make trouble for him. Just as he was about to open the door, he heard Maximilian's voice, "Barnaby, why not work for me."

"Mr. Lee, I’m so old and weak. I cannot help you at all." Barnaby continued to pretend to be poor as before.

Maximilian had heard him say so many times. He glanced at Barnaby impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. Do you follow me or not? Anyway, you still can steal."

He felt that Barnaby had his advantages, so his stealing skills might be useful in the future, which was why he asked Barnaby to work for him.

Barnaby hesitated when Maximilian said again, "If you don’t agree, I’ll send your apprentice to prison. Since he has stolen so many things, I don’t know when he would be discharged."

Barnaby woke up from hesitation because Maximilian had something on him. He quickly said, "Mr. Lee, honestly, he’s my nephew. Could you please let him go?"

Maximilian smiled, "Good."

He did not expect that Barnaby would accept one of his relatives to be his apprentice. He was so astute.

Barnaby realized that he was caught in the trap of Maximilian. He patted his forehead in annoyance and knew that they could not escape easily. He had to say, "Mr. Lee, I agree."

Although he was very afraid of Maximilian because they had different goals. But after thinking about it, Barnaby found it possibly not bad to cooperate with Maximilian.

It was so dangerous to work for Maximilian, but he could only throw caution to the wind for his nephew.

Maximilian was very satisfied with Barnaby's answer. Finally, the old fox agreed.

Barnaby sighed, "I knew my nephew should not be my apprentice. Sure enough, the most worrying thing happens."

"Do not complain here. It’ll definitely profitable to work for me."

Barnaby forced a smile and thought, "Indeed, working for you is profitable, but it will also kill me. So many important people are staring at you. Who dares to cooperate with you?"

Maximilian asked for his contact information and said, "Take your nephew back first, and you should be on call later."

Then Barnaby left with his nephew.

Maximilian looked at his watch. It had been half an hour. He guessed that Victoria and Flora had not finished shopping at this time.

Maximilian did not stay there and returned to the shopping mall, but he could not find Victoria and Flora, so he had to give Victoria a phone call.

But Victoria's phone was turned off. Maximilian frowned and thought that they might have some problem. So he called Flora.

After a few seconds of busy tone, Flora picked up the phone.

"Brother Maximilian, you are back."

"Where are you? How about Victoria?"

Hearing Flora's nervous tone, Maximilian asked about Victoria first.

"We are in the jewelry store selling jade on the fifth floor. Come here. We have some problems."

"OK."

Maximilian felt that perhaps they could not solve the problems without him, so he hung up and went there first.

In a jewelry shop on the fifth floor, there was a broken bracelet on the ground. Passers-by stopped and wanted to know what had happened.

"You broke the most valuable product in our store. This bracelet is imported from Myanmar. You can’t imagine its price."

The shop assistant at the counter looked at the broken bracelet with great distress and pointed angrily at Victoria. The bracelet was very expensive and ordered by their young master.

He would come here to take the jade bracelet soon, but now it was broken. The shop assistant thought that when he saw it, she would definitely be scolded and her salary would be cut.

"Sorry, my hands were slippery just now, so I accidentally broke it. How much is this bracelet? I can compensate for it." Victoria apologized sincerely and repeatedly.

Just now, she saw that the bracelet on the counter was very beautiful, and wanted the counter girl to take it out and try it. But she did not expect that it would be accidentally broken.

The shop assistant said in a strange tone, "I'm telling you, you can’t afford it. It has been ordered by our young master. He said that he will take this bracelet in person today. How can I explain to him?"

Everyone there understood what the counter shop assistant meant. Obviously, the store owner would come today.

People around them realized that they could not deal with the problem only by compensation, so the crowd looked at Victoria and Flora sympathetically.

Victoria did not expect such a thing. She was silent for a few seconds and said again, "Well, I will pay you the double price."

"Hump. Even if you pay the double price, I will still be fired. It’s all your fault." Saying so, the shop assistant raised her hand and slapped Victoria.
