Chapter 9 By Hook Or By Crook

Whose signature should he keep? Maximilian thought about it for a while and said,

"Just deliver the remark: Someone has promised her a prosperous life and will make her the happiest woman in the world."

Hearing these words, Sapphire was deeply touched.

Maximilian was so extraordinary to that woman who was so happy to be his wife!

After saying that, Maximilian left with the admiring and adoring eyes of the crowd.

Vanessa didn't rush to Sapphire until Maximilian had left, then she flattered Sapphire,

"Sapphire, please take me along with you. I want to see how Mr. Maximilian's wife looks like. He is so generous to buy her this necklace. She must be as beautiful as a heavenly fairy."

Smiling, Sapphire replied, "I was just about to ask you to come with me."

Then the duo left.

At this moment, all employees of Yunsheng Pharmaceutical were discussing about the video.

The video was none other than the scene of Maximilian being reprimanded by the sales assistant in Cartier Boutique. Maximilian looked humble and miserable in the video.

"Damn! Victoria's husband is too much of a poor guy."

"What a joke! A wimp like him dare go to Cartier."

"Yeah, shame on him. Victoria is so unlucky to marry such a loser."

Such voices could be heard all over the company, and instantly, Maximilian’s notorious reputation in the Company became even worse.

Right then, Victoria walked in through the front door and frowned when she saw the messy scene.

She got closer to one of them, and then saw the video on the phone.

She was so embarrassed that her face turned sour immediately.

"Vic...Victoria."

Someone saw Victoria and called her. Then the crowd dispersed, and everyone returned to their own work.

Victoria's face blushed, hoping to find a hole in the ground to hide herself.

Maximilian! Maximilian again!

Why did he keep embarrassing her! Victoria stomped her foot and walk towards her office.

But, suddenly, two women in professional suits came up to the reception desk and spoke in a loud voice,

"Excuse me, who is Miss Victoria? There is a delivery for her."

Only then did Sapphire realize that it was Victoria Griffith that the necklace was delivered to.

In other words, Maximilian, the famous wimp in H City actually bought the necklace?

How could he be a loser if he could afford such an expensive necklace?

At this moment, seeing the exquisite gift box, the employees burst out!

Were they the employees of Cartier?

Besides, the gift box in her arms was set with gold trim and small pieces of diamond, which was so sparking.

"Wow, the box is worth a fortune! I can't believe it's trimmed with gold and fine diamonds!"

"Victoria, it’s your delivery. Who was it from? It seems to be worth a lot!"

"Yeah! Victoria, open it and let’s take a look. It is delivered by Cartier’s staff in person, so it must be very precious!"

Then both noise and excitement emerged among the crowd, and someone had already taken out their phones to shoot videos.

Victoria was usually amicable in the company, so everyone treated her like a friend.

She was perplexed at the moment as well, wondering who would send something to her.

And it looked like something expensive.

She stepped forward and made sure it was designated for her before opening it carefully in front of the crowd.

The moment the box was opened, the entire office seemed to be filled with the sparkling glow of diamond!

Everyone, at that moment, was wide-eyed and open-mouthed with shock and envy!

After a moment of silence, there was a heated discussion in the office!

"This...... is actually the Hundred Flower Fairy Diamond Necklace?!"

"Oh my God! This Necklace is limited version, which costs over 30 million dollars! And it requires more than just money to buy it! This must be the first one in H City......"

"How extravagant it is, embedded with so many diamonds! Victoria, you're so lucky...... Who sent it to you?"

The entire office was in an uproar. The female were envious and male lowered their heads, sighing. It was too extravagant!

Who was it from?

At this moment, Victoria could hardly retain the calm expression on her face when she laid her eyes on the necklace in front of her.

She had learned about it last time, but she had never thought about owning it due to the financial status in her family. She merely appreciated it several times in the store.

"Excuse me, who asked you to send this necklace to me?" Victoria realized it and asked anxiously.

It was just too expensive for her to accept!

However, Sapphire bowed slightly and smiled before saying, "Miss Victoria, we are not at liberty to disclose the identity of our distinguished guest, but he asked me to deliver you a message, that is, someone has promised you a prosperous life and will make you the happiest woman in the world."

After saying that, Sapphire and Vanessa turned around and headed out.

Everyone in the office was silent, while all the female employees were envious.

"Victoria, you're so lucky! Is it from some noble man who has a crush on you?"

"Well, Victoria. The words he delivered that he has promised you a prosperous life and will make you the happiest woman in the world. How sweet it is! How nice it would be if it were for me."

When Victoria heard the remark, she was moved as well. She even thought of Maximilian.

However, she discarded the thought quickly.

Could it be Travis?

Meanwhile, the incident soon reached Franklin's ears.

"What? Someone sent Victoria the Hundred Flower Fairy Diamond Necklace?"

“How could it be possible?”

Victoria was in the vice president's office; her face looked ghastly and agitated.

Thirty million dollars!

How extravagant it was! It was the first Hundred Flower Fairy Diamond Necklace sold in the city!

Even he, Franklin, didn't have the gumption to do so.

"Franklin, you must have heard it. What should we do now?"

At this time, the office door was opened and Iris, dressing in a cool and fashionable outfit, barged in.

She wore a red bare midriff and a black leather skirt, which highlighted her white, slender waist and a pair of white legs to perfection.

Franklin glanced at her and said with an unhappy face,

"What a good tactic Victoria chose. Which rich young man has she leaned on?"

The day after tomorrow was Griffith's mid-year review meeting and the Griffith's banquet, so Franklin would not allow Victoria to be a sudden hit!

"Do you think it could be the Lee family that sent that little bastard the medical equipment at the hospital last time?" Iris asked suspiciously.

Franklin paced back and forth, and then said, "It's possible. I didn't expect that Victoria is actually such a disloyalty woman! She is cheating!"

Coldness flashed at the corner of Iris's eyes as she sneered,

"How about we tell Maximilian the wimp? His wife is blatantly cheating on him. I'm afraid he's going to be quite angry and vomit blood when he finds out the truth."

“Yeah, let’s inform Maximilian now." Franklin said.

Then he sent a message to tell Maximilian about this matter. Afterward, he sat on the couch, "For the mid-year party, we definitely can't let Victoria steal the limelight. We have to find a way to make grandpa completely disappointed with her and make her lose face at the party the day after tomorrow."

Iris nodded and responded,

"That's right. We Griffith don't need a member like Victoria at all. It's enough to have just me and you."

Franklin smiled and made eye contact with Iris,

"By the way, investigate into the Lee family and get more details."

Maximilian had received the text message from Franklin, and deleted it after glancing at it.

Inside the conference room of Yunsheng Pharmaceutical.

Samuel was sitting in the chairman's seat as the host, with a butler standing next to him.

"Grandpa, the company's performance has been terrible lately. I've looked into it and found serious problems in the marketing department led by Victoria. She has to be held accountable for the loss we have suffered due to a lack of big orders for over three months."

Franklin launched an attack against Victoria directly, and stared at Victoria with a cold smile lingering at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, I think she is just not capable of that position, and she might as well quit and go home to take care of her daughter, so as not to hinder Yunsheng Pharmaceutical."

Iris sat down and glanced at Victoria with disdain, then continued to manicure her nails.

Franklin stood up at this moment, walked to Victoria, pressed her delicate shoulder, and said.

"Victoria, if I were you, I would have resigned a long time ago. How dare you continue leading the team in the company when the marketing department under you leadership has such a terrible performance? Or you want Yunsheng Pharmaceutical to lose more money?"

In order to suppress Victoria and make her a fool of herself at the party to be held the day after tomorrow, Franklin was pulling all his efforts to achieve his goal at this moment!

"Grandpa!" Victoria got anxious and tried to explain, "The recent decline in Marketing performance is due to......"

What else could it be?

The marketing department was not performing well and several old clients had terminated their contracts.

Victoria had asked someone to secretly inquire about it, and found that it was actually caused by Franklin!

As a result, Samuel directly raised his hand to interrupt Victoria's words and said with a cold face,

"Victoria, don't try to deny it. If you want to continue serving as the director of the marketing department, prove it with your practical actions that you are capable of doing it, instead of shirking your responsibilities!"

Franklin smiled and added,

"Grandpa is right. Now, a new Graham Medical Equipment Group emerged in H City, a big listed company. If we can reach a cooperative deal with it, we will gain an order which is worth 50 million dollars!"

“Really?” Samuel was excited to hear the news!

An order which was worth 50 million dollars could be equivalent to Griffith's business revenue for an entire year.

Franklin replied with a buoyant tone,

"It is true, grandpa. The Graham Group is one of the largest companies in our country. I just heard the news that they are recently looking for a powerful pharmaceutical company in H City for cooperation. Why not let Victoria have a try? As long as she can successfully get the cooperation deal with Graham Group, she can make up for the mistakes she had made previously. If not, I think, there is no need for her to occupy the position as the director, and she may as well leave the company as early as possible."

Samuel nodded and looked at Victoria, "Victoria, what do you think?"

Panicked, Victoria bit her red lips. Griffith was just a second-rate gantry, and its pharmaceutical company ranked outside the top ten in H City. It did not have enough strength to attract an influential partner like Graham Group.

Victoria had noticed the Graham Group earlier, so she was clear that they were not qualified to cooperate with Graham Group at all!

Because, Graham Group had already selected the top three pharmaceutical companies in H City and there were in the negotiation stage now.

"Victoria, are you scared? That's fine! You can just announce your resignation now." Franklin sneered and satirized.

Iris also followed on the side and said.

"Victoria, if I were you, I wouldn't continue sitting here if I were not capable enough."

Victoria clenched her fist tightly. She knew the task was almost impossible for him to complete, and this was just Franklin's means of suppressing her.

So, after a moment's hesitation, she got up and said, "Grandpa, I've decided to resign from......"

However, Just as Victoria was being treated coldly by the crowd, a discordant voice sounded suddenly!

"Victoria, promise him!"

Hearing the sound, the crowd saw Maximilian standing in the doorway of the conference room with no expression on his face.

"Maximilian?!" Victoria watched Maximilian walking towards her with a hearty smile on his face.
