The Heir

chapter 32

EVERYONE was looking at Maximilian with sheer shock on their faces when he stood up. A few seconds of silence ensued before the onlookers started whispering to each other again.

“Who is he?”

“Isn’t that Maximilian Lee?”

“I think he is one of Griffith’s son-in-law.”

“I heard he is a loser. Is it possible that he is that mysterious president?”

“Maximilian, what the hell are you doing?” Franklin scolded him when he went to the end of the makeshift stage. “Sit down!”

But instead of following Franklin, he went up to the stage and grabbed the microphone from his wife’s cousin.

“What are you doing? Are you nuts?” Franklin snarled at him.

“I came up here on stage to tell everyone that I have seen the new president of the LS Group myself. And all I can say is that…” He paused and looked in Vanessa’s direction. “The president is someone you don’t expect him to be.”

Franklin tried to take the microphone away from him, but he did not let him succeed. Maximilian moved away from him and continued with his speech.

“If you are wondering how someone like me who is a son of a waste and a low-life creature met him, well… how do I put this?” He cocked his head to the side and sneered. “We are good friends.”

“Stop this, Maximilian! Aren’t you ashamed?” Franklin sauntered towards him and grasped his arm. “Stop this stupid act of yours and go back to your seat. Do you really think the guests will buy your story of friendship with the new president of the LS Group? Well, let me tell you this. You should stop dreaming,” he said through gritted teeth.

He shoved Franklin’s hand away from his arm and sneered.
