Female Novel
Chapter 489 Lucky Strike
After lunch, Victoria, Maximilian, and Flora went to the company. After the car stopped inside the
company, Maximilian said, "Victoria, you go up first, I'll call Canaan to come over and talk to them about
it."
"Good, have a good talk with them." Victoria smiled and got out of the car, leaving Maximilian and Flora
in the car.
Flora felt that there was something wrong with Maximilian's words and said nervously, "Maximilian,
what are you going to talk to me about? Are you trying to abandon me?"
"Uh, how can it be abandonment? We are not related. You are occupying the bed that should have
belonged to me all night."
"Well, I can sleep on the sofa. Please don't kick me out, OK? And don't try to dump me to Canaan. I
want to stay with you and Victoria. I can do housework, I can cook, and I can warm the bed." Flora
acted coquettishly and pretended to be pitiful, and tried her best to persuade Maximilian.
Maximilian looked at Flora speechlessly, coughed twice, and said, "Let's not talk about this. Let me ask
you, why is the dragon jade on the dressing table?"
"Huh? Uh..." Flora's brain instantly became blank. She did not expect that Maximilian could find the
dragon jade she put. How could she explain this? Would Maximilian misunderstand her?
Flora desperately wanted to come up with a suitable explanation. But no matter how she thought about
it, she couldn't come up with a suitable explanation.
"Why don't you say anything? Just tell me the truth. If you make something up, I'll let Canaan take you
away later." Maximilian said indifferently.
"No, I'll tell you." Flora looked at Maximilian pitifully, hesitated, and said, "I want to use it as a
decoration and match the costume style."
"What? Even if you are making up nonsense, can you just make a better one?" Maximilian directly
exposed Flora's lies.
Flora’s eyes flushed immediately, and tears began to flow in her eyes, "I, if I tell the truth, you are not
allowed to drive me away, and you must protect me."
"Well, say it, as long as what you say is true, I will definitely not drive you away." Maximilian had
already guessed a general idea from Flora's reaction.
"I was sent by Harley. He asked me to come to you to find the secret key. But I didn't want to help him,
so I wondered how to get a fake key to fool him. Anyway, they haven't seen what the key looks like. It's
easy for me to cheat them."
"In fact, when you went to the mountain villa in the morning and I said I had my period, I asked Canaan
to take me to the antique city to buy the dragon jade, which cost him five million dollars. I think I can
use this and tell Harley that it’s the real key in two days."
Maximilian laughed and shook his head, "Look at you, it's okay to say it earlier. I'm not a tiger. Why did
you hide it? It will hurt you in the end."
"What?" Flora looked at Maximilian in confusion and felt that there was another meaning in
Maximilian's words, "How could it hurt me?"
"Don't say anything else. The dragon jade you bought for five million is a fake. If you give it to Harley,
you will be cleaned."
Flora’s eyes rounded in an instant. She gritted her teeth fiercely, and then, like a frustrated ball, her
whole body began to wilt, "How can it be fake? When we buy it, he said it was true and used for the
royal family in the Ming Dynasty."
"You know nothing and dare to buy it." Maximilian admired their boldness. The one who knew nothing
feared nothing.
Flora wrinkled her nose and said with a deflated mouth, "Maximilian, don't you think I'm a bad person?
Won’t you want me anymore? I want to be by your side. I think it's safer to follow you. If Harley doesn’t
blackmail my family, I definitely wouldn't have helped him. I don't want to hurt you."
"All right, you can rest assured. I certainly will not chuck you away, unless you are willing to leave. If
Harley asks you to do something else in the future, just tell me, and I will cooperate with you."
Maximilian wanted to deliver some wrong information back through Flora so that he could confuse
Harley and Dragon Queen.
Flora nodded vigorously, "I understand, and I'll talk to you in the future. Recently Harley just forced me
to find the secret key, but he doesn't even know what it looks like."
"The secret key? I don't know what it looks like either. But your idea is good. Getting a fine dragon jade
of Ming Dynasty will probably fool them for the time being." Maximilian touched his chin and felt that he
could follow Flora's idea and get back a piece of Ming Dynasty dragon jade, then let Flora hand it out
as the secret key.
Thinking of that five million dollars fake dragon jade, Flora instantly felt heartbroken, "I'm going to find
Brodie, and he even cheated us five million dollars. It's simply too much, Canaan didn’t know anything
but still pretended to know. I thought he knew it well."novelbin
"It's time to ask him for a refund. It just happened that there is nothing for us to do in the afternoon, so I
will ask Canaan to go to the Antique City." Maximilian made a phone call, and Canaan arrived quickly.
"Master, where are you going?" Canaan asked with a smile.
"To the Antique City."
"Eh? Antique City? Master, do you like antiques particularly? I'll pay for whatever you like today."
Canaan said excitedly. Opportunities to please Maximilian were rare. If he had a chance, he must seize
it.
Flora glared at Canaan angrily, "There are many opportunities for you to pay the bill. But what we
bought this morning is a fake. Maximilian is going to buy a real dragon jade."
"Fake? It can’t be. It looks like quite real." Canaan said with some embarrassment.
"Look, I told you Canaan is ignorant and pretends to know it. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have bought
the fake one."
Maximilian waved his hand and signaled Canaan to drive. Canaan stepped on the accelerator and
drove towards the Antique City.
When they arrived at the antique city, Canaan led the way for Maximilian in front and soon they arrived
at Brodie's antique store.
"Well, you are here again. Are you bringing friends to stroll around?" Brodie greeted them
enthusiastically, feeling that another big business was coming.
The sullen Canaan was just about to speak, but Maximilian pulled Canaan and then said with a smile,
"I see the dragon jade that Canaan bought is good, I also want to buy a similar one. Do you still have it
here?"
Canaan and Flora both looked at Maximilian with confusion. Didn't they come for a refund? Why did
Maximilian want to buy a dragon jade again?
Brodie was already overwhelmed with excitement and ignored Canaan's and Flora's expressions,
thinking that today was his lucky day.
