Female Novel
Chapter 817 Pawn
“It’s not that serious? How about I call Connor to tell him that this matter has not been handled
properly? What do you think Connor is going to say?” Old Mr. Woods looked at him with a forced smile.
Old Mr. Woods somehow understood what Connor meant. If Connor was polite to Maximilian, then henovelbin
had to be more polite to Maximilian!
Seeing his father’s weird smile, Gail swallowed his saliva. He knew that he could not go too far, even if
Maximilian were just one of Connor’s men. Moreover, even Connor had to be polite to Maximilian.
It showed that this matter would bring disaster to the Woods if they could not solve it well.
The driver immediately began to turn around to the house of the Griffith family.
When Maximilian returned to the company, he saw Victoria walking towards him with an anxious look.
Back then, Victoria must have reprimanded Maximilian if Maximilian caused trouble.
After being with Maximilian for so long, Victoria had understood Maximilian’s temperament. She knew
that Maximilian would not cause trouble for no reason. Someone must have proactively provoked
Maximilian.
“Grandpa asked us to go over, saying that he will hold the family meeting. What’s the matter?” Victoria
asked curiously. She was not the person involved, so she naturally didn’t know what was going on just
now.
“I will explain it in the car later.”
Maximilian had already guessed this result. Samuel held a family meeting just because he wanted to
grab Maximilian’s challenger for the matter just now.
Although Victoria was very confused, she didn’t ask anymore. She also noticed Iris at the same time.
Seeing Victoria, Iris was in a mixed mood. She didn’t know how to face Victoria for a while. She had
been bulling Victoria before for fear that Victoria would not forgive her.
“Let’s go together.” Victoria was shocked for a few seconds and then said with a faint smile.
Seeing Victoria’s smile, Iris felt a sense of relief and whispered, “Before...”
“Forget it, let bygones be bygones. We are a family.” Victoria interrupted Iris’s words with a smile, “I
didn’t take it too hard. Do you still care?”
Hearing Victoria’s words, Iris felt very moved. She finally knew the difference between herself and
Victoria. Victoria was not only beautiful but also kind-hearted.
“You just concentrate on driving. Let me tell Victoria.” Iris was afraid that Maximilian would get
distracted while driving. Besides, Maximilian didn’t know much.
Maximilian nodded. He didn’t know what happened to Iris and Gail. If he was the one to explain, he
might not be able to explain it clearly.
Iris spoke for more than ten minutes, explaining why her grandpa would let her marry Gail, including
her views on Gail.
Maximilian frowned and thought that Samuel was good at sailing with the wind. Last time it was
Victoria. After Samuel discovered that he could not use Victoria, he began to use Iris.
Hearing what Iris had said, Victoria felt very sympathetic to Iris. Before this, she had gone through the
same thing as Iris.
She looked at Maximilian subconsciously and felt very lucky. Thanks to Maximilian, she got rid of the
control of the Griffith family. Without Maximilian, she was probably still a pawn, under the control of the
Griffith family.
However, Maximilian also got a message from it. It was obvious that the Griffith Group was getting
worse and worse. Otherwise, Iris would not be required to sacrifice herself to recruit partners.
Iris was very nervous for fear that Grandpa would blame her for it. After all, it was related to the survival
of the Griffith family. She was lost for a while and didn’t know what to do.
“Don’t be afraid. When we meet grandpa, I will help you explain.” Victoria smiled and comforted.
Iris gradually relaxed her mind, but she was still somewhat nervous.
At this moment, Samuel was already sitting in the hall. He stared at the door with a frown, thinking
about how to scold him when Maximilian came back.
Marcus and Laura sat on the nearby chairs and kept scolding Maximilian in their hearts. They thought
Maximilian was a jinx and always made trouble for them.
Laura was even more upset about Maximilian.
Andrew and Darian looked at each other with sinister smiles. Then Andrew whispered to Samuel,
“Grandpa, I suggest that you should reprimand Victoria and force her to give us half of the shares of
the Topyuan Group as compensation.”
“Okay.” Samuel didn’t hesitate this time. The Griffith Group was going to be finished, so he had to be
impersonal.
Besides, Victoria was also one of the Griffith family. He believed that Victoria would pay for Maximilian’s
trouble.
At this time, the three of them walked in. Laura stood up impatiently and accused Maximilian, “It’s all
your fault. You have made trouble for the Griffith family. Are you a jinx?”
Marcus lowered his head, tugged his wife, and said in a low voice, “Be quiet. So many people are
watching. Pay attention to your image.”
Laura cast an angry look at Marcus, and then Marcus closed his mouth.
Andrew said in a voice dripping with sarcasm, “Maximilian, did you deliberately oppose us? Anyway,
you are also a member of the Griffith family. If you intervene in other people’s affairs, we don’t care, but
what do you mean by intervening in our affairs?”
“When you made your decision, did you ask Iris’s opinion?” Maximilian asked with a sneer.
Andrew and Darian looked at Iris subconsciously and had nothing to say for a while. Andrew frowned
and said, “Iris, are you voluntary?”
Seeing the expression in Andrew’s eyes, Iris felt a little scared. Her palms were already sweating.
When she glanced at Maximilian hesitantly, Maximilian gave her an encouraging smile, “Just feel free
to say it.”
“Uncle, I am not voluntary. I don’t like Gail at all. I hope you can respect my thoughts, and grandpa
knows it too.” Iris screwed up the courage and said word by word.
Andrew and Darian looked a little embarrassed. They thought Iris would passively agree. Who knew
the result was different from what they thought!
They immediately pulled a long face and glared at Maximilian. If it weren’t for Maximilian, Iris wouldn’t
say that.
Samuel frowned and began to force Iris with moral abduction, “Iris, I raised you to this point. Now the
Griffith family is in trouble. You can’t look on and do nothing.”
“Grandpa, if you give me a mission, I will deal with it seriously. But if you want to decide my happiness,
I can’t agree to it.” Iris directly expressed her own inner thoughts.
