Chapter 293 For the Sake of Affection
Chapter 293 For the Sake of Affection
When Maximilian and Victoria arrived at home, there was a sound of chatting in the living room. It was
obvious that there were guests at their home.
When they entered the living room, they saw Laura talking happily with a middle-aged woman of the
same age.
“Come here, Victoria. This is Aunt Jennifer. She adored you when you were a child.”
Laura introduced with enthusiasm a middle-aged woman to Victoria, totally ignoring Maximilian.
Named Jennifer, this woman dressed in low-key but expensive clothes of international brands, with a
huge ruby ring on her finger and a Vacheron Constantin wrist watch.
Jennifer, who dressed in expensive clothes, used to work with Laura. But Jennifer left H City many
years ago and inherited her family business overseas.
Now, the family business run by Jennifer was quite successful, and much of the business had been
handed over to her son Eduard.
Although Eduard managed the business well, his marriage did not go well, which made Jennifer
extremely anxious. Jennifer saw a picture of Victoria by chance, and then she had an idea of
matchmaking her son and Victoria.
After learning about the basic information about Victoria, Jennifer finally decided to take her son back
to H City by a private jet and offer a chance for Victoria and Eduard to have an appointment.
Since it was the first time Jennifer came here, she didn’t take her son with her. She just wanted to
come here to check out Laura’s attitude this time.
After knowing about Jennifer’s intention, Laura was overjoyed and agreed to it. Laura believed that the
life with Eduard was what Victoria deserved.
Jennifer sized up Victoria with a smile on her face, “Well, Victoria is more and more beautiful, and she
looks like woman with good luck. She and my son is well-matched.”
Laura grinned, “Victoria, come here and have a chat with Aunt Jennifer.”
Then Laura looked at Maximilian with an unkind face and shouted, “You punk, go back to your room.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
At this time, Jennifer looked at Maximilian and smiled with disdain on her face, “Laura, is he your
useless son-in-law? He is not worthy of Victoria, and such a punk should have been driven out of your
family long time ago. Let him divorce Victoria as soon as possible. I’ll give him a compensation of two
million dollars, which is enough for him to spend for the rest of his in the countryside.”
“Two million dollars?” Laura put up two fingers and wanted to ask Jennifer to give her two million
dollars, and she would drive him out right away.
However, she did not say it out, considering her dignity. Then she thought that she would have a lot of
money as long as Victoria married Eduard.
“You punk, are you clear? As long as you divorce Victoria, we’ll give you two million dollars
immediately. You’d better do it tomorrow.” Laura reprimanded him with a sullen face.
“Mom, stop talking nonsense.” Victoria said. Then she nudged Maximilian and whispered, “Go back to
the room to have a rest. I can handle it.”
Maximilian nodded, without saying anything, and then he walked back to the room.
Laura walked quickly to Victoria and said, “My silly girl, don’t be silly this time. Aunt Jennifer has a great
enterprise overseas and owns a great deal of money. Her son Eduard is even more outstanding, a
business prodigy.”
“Mom...” Victoria muttered.
“Hold back your tongue! If you dare say you won’t divorce Maximilian, I’ll kill myself in front of you,
making you a disobedient daughter, who will be despised by others.”
Laura had made up his mind this time to marry Victoria to Eduard.
The family condition of Eduard was so good that Laura could not refuse, and even Humphrey was
nothing in front of Eduard.
“They live in a big villa with a swimming pool on the hill. They also have a British butler, who speaks
with an authentic cockney accent. These are the scenes we can only see in the films. They live a very
privileged life. Compared with them, those rich people in our country are nothing.”
“Besides, the main business of their company is medicine and health products, as well as other high-
tech products, which are beneficial to our family. As long as you marry Eduard, you and your father, as
well as the Griffith Family and Wright Family can benefit from it. It means you alone will bring benefits
to us all.”
Laura listed a lot of benefits which Jennifer’s family could bring, and she hoped it could move Victoria,
and then Victoria would divorce Maximilian quickly.
“I see. You don’t need talk about it more.” Victoria said resignedly.
Laura took Victoria’s arm and walked to Jennifer, then she cracked a smile, “Jennifer, Victoria is such a
good girl, except that she is affectionate. I had asked her to divorce Maximilian for several times, but
she did not.”
“It is a virtue to be affectionate, but it depends on whom you are affectionate to. It is not good to be
overly sentimental.”
Jennifer was increasingly fond of Victoria. She held Victoria’s hand with a smile, “Victoria, it must be
fate, as I am very fond of you when I held you as a child. Would you like to be my daughter-in-law?”
“I’m sorry, Aunt Jennifer. I have a happy marriage and I have never thought of getting a divorce.”
Victoria expressed her thoughts bluntly and did not want to get entangled with Jennifer.
Hearing her words, Jennifer didn’t look very well, and she was quite dissatisfied with Victoria’s answer.
“I heard that Maximilian is incapable, who is idling around all day and live on you. Such a loser is not
worth of your affection at all.”
“For the sake of affection, we love each other.” Victoria lowered her head and said.
“Can you live on affection? Can affection give you a good life? Don’t be indulged in it, or you’ll regret
later.” Jennifer smiled mockingly.
Laura nudged Victoria, then smiled at Jennifer, “Jennifer, Victoria is kind of stubborn. Please don’t be
angry with her. You can come with Eduard tomorrow to give them a chance to meet and chat with each
other, then there will be affection between them gradually.”
Jennifer nodded, then she stood up and said, “Well, I’ll come with Eduard tomorrow morning. I hope we
can become relatives by marriage.”
“Sure, it will be. I’ll persuade Victoria.”
After seeing off Jennifer, Laura returned to the living room and looked at Victoria with a serious
expression, “Victoria, I have never ask you for anything, but I beg you to meet Eduard tomorrow and
divorce Maximilian as soon as possible. The punk is a disaster for our family.”
“Mom, please don’t talk about him like that.”
Victoria said resignedly.
“Huh! Just look at him. Such a wretch doesn’t deserve your affection and the man like him should be
driven out of our family!” Laura shouted.
