Chapter 3 The Low-key Rich

Maximilian was helpless and looked down at himself all over and smiled gently.

“Sorry, I have an appointment with someone.”

When Penny heard this, a very unnatural expression appeared on her face, as she screamed with disgust and contempt,

“A poor man like you could have made an appointment in the Royal Court Club? You’re kidding! Go away! Don’t get in the way of my business!”

After saying that, she coldly glared at Maximilian with a sneer in her eyes, which made him feel very unpleasant and embarrassed.

Maximilian said politely with a slight twist of his starry eyebrows.

“I do have an appointment here. It’s urgent! Please make it easy for me.”

After saying that, Maximilian lifted his foot and walked towards the main hall.

However, Penny instantly became anxious and tugged at Maximilian’s shirt as she chided,

“What’s wrong with you? Here is the Royal Court Club, and our guests here are rich and influential! Who are you? How can you get a date with a big boss like that?”

She was really pissed off! She wondered what kind of asshole dared to trespass on the Royal Court Club! He was courting death!

A chill eventually formed in the corner of Maximilian’s eyes. Just when he was about to explain something, a suspicious chortling voice came from somewhere.

“What’s going on? What are you arguing about? What a disgrace for the guest to see!”

The person who approached was a man in his thirties, dressed in a well-cut black plaid suit with a Manager’s badge pinned to his chest. His hair was slicked back and neatly parted, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking like an elite.

“Mr. Owen, you’re finally here. This poor loser is trespassing on our club!”

Penny immediately stomped her feet, her breasts swaying and trembling over her chest.

Mr. Owen frowned, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up to size Maximilian up and down, and spoke coldly after noticing his shabby clothes.

“I’m sorry, this is a private club. We adopt membership here, but I’ve never seen you before. I’d like to ask you to leave as soon as possible.”

Mr. Owen sounded quite decent and didn’t say anything harsh to Maximilian.

Mostly, he despised Maximilian so naturally that he didn’t want to say more.

When Penny saw Maximilian standing there still, she immediately pointed her finger at his nose scolding him,

“Get out! Do I have to call the security to kick you out?”

Maximilian’s face eventually darkened.

He was just here to meet someone, why did he have to be treated like this?

Was it possible that he was labeled as poor just because he dressed in plain clothes?

“I’ll say it again. I’m here to meet someone.”

Maximilian said indifferently, and there was already more than a hint of anger in his tone.

Mr. Owen turned his head around and looked at him suspiciously, asking.

“Who are you looking for?”

“Wilfred.” Maximilian said.

“Huh!”

Suddenly, Mr. Owen shook his head helplessly with a cold smile on his face and asked,

“You’re looking for Mr. Wilfred Collins?”

Wilfred Collins was the big boss behind the Royal Court Club. He had never been here for years, and it was his first time to come over today!

It is said that he was waiting for an honored guest. Could it be the brat in front of me?

Penny, who was at the side, also said mockingly, “Mr. Owen, he is just a silly ass. I’ll call two guards to come over and throw him out.”

Mr. Owen didn’t have it in his mind, but nodded anyway, and said, “Handle it neatly and don’t cause any backlash or misunderstanding to the guests.”

Huh! How could it be possible for Mr. Wilfred Collins to know such a poor guy?

“Okay Mr. Owen, I understand.”

Penny moved her soft and plump body, and her frowns and smiles were tempting and seductive.

And then, turning her head, she glared viciously at Maximilian, picked up the phone in her hand, and called the security department.

“I need two men. Someone is making trouble at the front entrance.”

There was no security at the front door of the Royal Court Club, because no one dared to cause trouble here.

The guests who came in and out were dignitaries in H City and from other cities, and offending any one of them could stir up a storm.

Who was so unwise to cause trouble in the Royal Court Club?

When the phone hung up, Penny wrapped her arms around her chest, and her pair of phoenix eyes stared deadly at Maximilian. Then, she said with mockery, “Fool, you’re screwed!”

Maximilian was helpless, and silently took out his phone. He dialed Wilfred’s number and said in a cold voice,

“I’m at the front door, but was stopped by the receptionist. You only have three minutes.”

Seeing Maximilian pretending to make a phone call, Penny laughed out loud and said with contempt.

“Bah! You’re not calling Wilfred, are you? What a fucking loser! It’s not like you to act like this, Okay?”

Maximilian didn’t talk back but stood there calmly, with his hands behind his back.

His indifference made Penny even angrier!

“What kind of person is he? How dare he ignore me! Damn it!"

At the same time, Wilfred Collins, the big boss of the Royal Court Club, was running towards the front door with his secretary in frenzy when he saw the young master being blocked with a torrent of abuse from afar!

Instantly, Wilfred was extremely angry.

Maximilian was the young master, the future Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Sect!

“Stop!” Wilfred shouted loudly.

The security guards who were driving Maximilian away suddenly heard an angry rebuke and turned their heads to see Wilfred running over furiously!

Wilfred! The big boss behind the Royal Court Club!

Halt! Salute!

“Mr. Collins!”

The security guards saluted in unison.

But Wilfred didn’t even look at them and went straight to Maximilian, who was tidying his clothes with an excited smile on his face.

“Young master, you’re here. Please come inside.”

Wilfred stood a meter away from Maximilian with respect, bowing and bending his head down.

This scene made Penny confused!

Young master?

What was the situation?

Wasn’t this guy a poor loser!

“Mr. Collins, is it a mistake? He is just a poor loser who comes over to make trouble.”

Startled, Penny turned her head to glare angrily at Maximilian, and said,

“You rubbish! How dare you not salute when you see Mr. Collins? You two, why don’t you hurry up and throw him out?”

Penny was anxious. If she displeased Mr. Collins, the consequences would be unthinkable!

“How dare you?”

Suddenly, Wilfred glared at Penny with a cold look and angrily scolded,

“Who are you going to throw out? He is the young master, the owner of the Royal Court Club. How dare you be so rude to him?”

LOL!

Really?

This loser was the real boss of the Royal Court Club?

Wasn’t that a joke?

Penny’s eyes widened in disbelief as she asked,

“Mr. Collins, are you serious?”

“Humph!” Wilfred snorted coldly and said nothing more. His expression had already showed everything.

Penny’s heart was trembling violently at this moment, and her cheeks were distorted as she stared at Maximilian in disbelief.

So, it was true that he was looking for Wilfred!

Following that, Penny immediately bent down and apologized to him, saying

“Mr. Maximilian, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I...”

At that moment, Mr. Owen returned, and without noticing Wilfred’s presence, he became annoyed seeing Maximilian was still here, and scolded anyway,

“Why are you still here? Get the hell out of here!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he was aware of the icy eyes staring maliciously at him from behind his back!

Maximilian smiled faintly, feeling helpless.

“Stop it!”

Wilfred was so angry that he knocked his gold walking stick in his hand heavily on the ground.

“Mr. Collins, why are you here?”

Only at this moment did Mr. Owen notice Wilfred behind him, and a flattering smile immediately emerged on his face.

And Wilfred didn’t even bother with him and then looked respectfully at Maximilian, asking,

“What are you going to do with it, young master?”

Young master?

Upon hearing these words, Mr. Owen froze and twisted his head to stare at Maximilian, who was looking up at the sky with a calm expression.

Immediately, Mr. Owen realized something was wrong!

He was the honored guest Wilfred was waiting for tonight!

Maximilian pursed his lips and said,

“Fire them.”

“Hurry up, throw these two out!” Wilfred said angrily.

Poof! Without saying a word, Mr. Owen immediately pounced over and knelt directly in front of Maximilian, begging,

“Young master, I have offended you without knowing anything. I beg your forgiveness. I was wrong!”

He wasn’t a fool, so he naturally saw the situation clearly.

Such a mysterious big shot like Wilfred treated the young man in front of him with such groveling.

It was enough to prove that his status must not be something he could only look up to!

Penny was trembling all over and said with a flattering face.

“Young master, I was wrong. I won’t do it again. Please forgive me this time.”

However, Maximilian smiled faintly and glanced at Wilfred. Wilfred pointed directly at the security guards and issued an order.

“Throw them out! From this day on, there will be no more place for them in H City!”

“Young master, young master! Forgive me. I am wrong, please...”

Amid Mr. Owen and Penny’s bitter pleas, Maximilian arrived at the most luxurious presidential suite with Wilfred.

Ten minutes later, Maximilian came out of the Royal Court Club, with a bag of money in his hand.

When Maximilian returned to the hospital ward, a group of people were waiting for him with sneering faces.

“Hey, Maximilian, have you borrowed any money successfully?”

Franklin’s face was filled with a sneer.

Franklin was the son of the first wife of the old Mr. Griffith and had looked down on Victoria, the daughter of the second wife since he was a child.

Especially when she married Maximilian, a rubbish, as a disgrace to the Griffith family!

Maximilian just gave him a cold look, threw the plastic bag in his hand on the tea table, and said to Samuel.

“Here’s two hundred thousand dollars. I will bear all the costs to cure my daughter.”

At that moment, Laura, who was at the side, slapped Maximilian’s face angrily and cursed.

“Rubbish, how dare you talk to Samuel like this?”

The slap made Maximilian dumbfound and frown slightly.

Victoria hurried up to pull her mother away and said, “Mom, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing? Go away! I told you to divorce him, but you just didn’t listen to me. Now you have no right to speak in the family!”

Laura chided and glared at Victoria.

“Maximilian, where does the money come from?” Laura asked with a sneer.

Being his mother-in-law for so long, Laura knew him!

Maximilian explained, “Borrowed.”

“Haha!” Instantly, the crowd in the room laughed.

“Just you? Who would lend so much money to a wimp like you?” Laura said with a frivolous brow and contempt.

And at this time, Samuel stood up and looked at Maximilian with his cold eyes, saying.

“So what if you borrow the money? Sissi is surnamed after me, and it’s up to me to decide who will pay to cure her, not you!”

“I'm Sissi’s father!” Maximilian clenched his fist and argued.

Pop!

Samuel slapped over and scolded, “Damn it! How dare you be so rude to me? Who taught you that?”

Just when everyone was hurling all kinds of accusations at Maximilian, a well-dressed and elegant middle-aged man walked into the ward, looking like a big shot at first glance.

“Hello, are you Samuel of the Griffith family?”

The middle-aged man asked with a smile while extending his hand.

Samuel Griffith was so clever that he could see at a glance that the visitor was someone extraordinary. So he politely shook his hands and said.

“Yes, I am. May I know who you are?”

“My last name is Edwin.”

After saying that, the middle-aged man clapped his hands.

Following that, at the door of the ward, several men in black suits walked in and carried a brand new set of medical instrument, followed closely by four paramedics in white coats with white hair.

“This is the blood purifier DX. They are the most professional medical staff, well-trained and leading experts in the field of leukemia.”

The middle-aged man said and took out a few some medicine, saying,

“It’s a special drug for leukemia, ANXE.”

Looking at the scene in front of them, the Griffiths looked at each other, totally confused!

“This...blood purifier DX is the top medical equipment! There are only three sets in the world!”

One of the Griffiths exclaimed.

“As for this medicine, I just check it out. It’s a newly-developed potent drug with a 90% cure rate! One capsule is offered at an astronomical price as high as seven million dollars! It’s just a special offer, not something you can buy with money. Only a hundred capsules are produced each year! It is so rare and precious!”

Buzz! The Griffiths were shocked once again!

Samuel was even more excited and asked, “Mr. Edwin, who send this to me?”

Mr. Edwin unobtrusively glanced at Maximilian, who was frowning slightly, and said, “The Lee family.”
