Female Novel
Chapter 965 The Price of Pride
Down the stage, people began to clap their hands to welcome the presence of Victoria.novelbin
Victoria was by no means frightened by the stage, since she had gone through many sorts of activities
even more challenging than such in her life. She went up onto the stage confidently and said,
"Greetings, it's my great pleasure to meet you guys, and I sincerely hope that we could build a strong
and solid relationship with each other."
"What a humble and graceful manner, Miss. Victoria!" Flattered those lackeys down the stage, who
were hired by Rowen to work on such lively ambiance.
Rowen nodded his head, and seemed pretty satisfied with their performance.
On the other hand, Elias, the young rich second generation, was gritting his teeth and glaring at
Maximilian for the losses he had suffered.
He had no idea that someone would ever put him in such a dilemma. Then, he began to try something
else harder: he took out a pack of banknotes and said to Maximilian, "Now, take this and fuck off, idiot."
Maximilian took a glance at the pack of banknotes and then shifted his eyes disdainfully.
The Elias had never expected something as ridiculous as such would ever happen, and he was also a
little annoyed by the response of Maximilian.
As a result, he chose to do things in a tough way. He snapped his fingers and called up a dozen big
fellows.
"What may we serve you, master?" Even though those big fellows understood clearly why their master
had called them up, they still gently behaved themselves in order to make him look cooler.
Elias pointed at Maximilian and ordered, "Get that son of bitch out of here!"
"There should be a better way out, master." Looking at each other, those big fellows thought that they
were staying in the place of Rowen, and he would probably not be so happy to see his guest being
rudely treated.
"I'm not asking for your opinion, dumb ass! Just do it!" Elias gave his fellow a cold stare and continued,
"He is by no means someone special to Rowen, we don't have to worry about it!"
Hearing that, those fellows then gave Maximilian a more detailed look: comparing with those rich men
wearing clothes which might even cost more than thousands of dollars, the man standing in their front
was only wearing clothes seemingly bought from flea market.
Without any hesitation, they no longer considered Maximilian as a guest of Rowen but merely an
ordinary man of no importance, planning to go and catch him.
Something as such was unsurprising for Maximilian. Calmly and silently, he took one of the fellows on
his shoulder. At the next moment, the man lost consciousness before he could even realize what's
going on.
The others, standing aside and looking at the one lying on the ground, were stunned by the skills of
Maximilian and felt it hard to believe what had just happened.
"Have you guys seen that?" They looked at each other and seemed confused, daring not to take any
further action against Maximilian.
The Elias yelled impatiently, "Yeah, I have seen it! That pussy had just been struck by his low blood
pressure and thus become unconscious, you dumb ass!"
The other fellow chose to believe in his words and tried to catch Maximilian.
For Maximilian, he just smiled, sat on the chair and looked at those fellows, who were trying any
methods they could but all was in vain.
Those big fellows had never expected that Maximilian was a man with such amazing skills, scratching
their heads fretfully and having no idea how to deal with him for the moment.
A while later, Maximilian easily repulsed those helpless big fellows, who thought that they were as if
fighting against a demon from the underworld faced with Maximilian.
"He is really tough!" Those fellow took a deep breath and retreated a step.
The Elias was stunned by everything that he had just seen and realized that he had previously
thoroughly underestimated the capability of Maximilian.
Hastily, he took a few steps backwards and didn't know what to do for the moment. Then, he gritted his
teeth and decided to get away, since it was totally a shame for him continuously losing to the same
man.
As he was taking his steps backwards, he felt that he had hit someone with his back. It was the
moment when he turned around and was about to let off his rage out of suffering indignity from
Maximilian that he was stunned to see the one standing behind.
The one who came was also a young man, with a more delicate face and decent dressing. Besides the
evil smile hanging on his face, one could also see from his finger a ring with a word "Cunningham"
engraved on it.
"Oh! I'm sorry, Ayan." The Elias immediately lowered his voice and dared not to catch Ayan's eyes.
Ayan hummed, "Hey there, loser. How do you feel about losing to another loser? Quite unsurprising
and natural for me to see so, to be honest."
Such words had ignited the flame inside of the Elias, while he had no choice but to restrain his anger
and smile awkwardly at Ayan.
Maximilian was also dumbed by his unsmiling countenance and sharp words.
Ayan then walked directly to Grace, subconsciously reached out to take the hand of her and was about
to kiss it.
Being about to go up and stop him, Maximilian was held back by Grace with a meaningful smile on her
face. Though he was quite confused about it for that moment, afterwards, Grace secretly told him that
she had wiped poison on her hands.
Stunned, Maximilian thought that it was an amazing strategy and couldn't help raising his thumb to
Grace.
For Ayan, seeing that Grace was seemingly receptive to his gallantry, he began to confidently introduce
himself, "Greetings, dear lady! It is my great honor to meet you here. I'm Ayan, the second born of the
Cunningham, and I'm wondering if I could …!"
As he was about to continue, the color of purple gradually spread on his lips, and he was stunned to
find himself failing to say anything.
With his mouth opened and closed awkwardly trying to force out something from his throat, Ayan
looked around in panic while he couldn't figure out what had exactly happened. His bodyguards were
also dumbed by the situation: it was something that they had never seen in their whole life.
Finally, Ayan fixed his eyes on Grace and pointed at her angrily.
Grace smiled and said, "You now understand that it's not so appropriate to kiss others' hands casually,
don't you? Next time, beware in case you fall into the same situation again.
Those bodyguards were stunned to hear that. They shouted at Grace, "How dare you do such thing to
our master!"
"I have done nothing wrong, dude! It was him who came up like an idiot, took my hand and kissed it like
a playboy. He left me no choice but to accept it." Grace shrugged and answered.
Those bodyguards' faces darkened out of anger. Then, they rushed to Grace and attacked her.
In terms of physical skills, these tough guys were by no means competitive relative to Grace. What's
more, she was an expert on poison and trickery. Therefore, these fellows were all beaten by Grace
after a while.
The others of the Cunningham had soon gathered around and were stunned by the scene. They yelled
at Grace, "Let him go!"
"Not until he says sorry to me! He bought it on himself, and now he needs to pay for that!" Grace plainly
said to them.
Ayan, with his trembling lips and a mouth literally failing to say anything, had no choice but to bring his
hands together and express his apology.
