Dragon Master novel Maximilian

Chapter 304 Something Wrong with the Cooperation!

Two days later.

Franklin was looking complacently at the documents in his hands in the meeting room, which were the

cooperation documents sent by Eduard’s subordinate after contacting Franklin.

After Eduard was released from the hospital, he had considered for long. If he wanted to regain his

dignity, he had to start with the internal affairs of the Griffith family. He needed to have the whole Griffith

family on his side, so Victoria would definitely choose to abandon Maximilian when she was utterly

isolated by the rest of her family.

If Eduard wanted to have the whole Griffith family on his side, the most rapid and convenient way

would naturally be establishing cooperation and mutual benefits. And that was why Franklin was being

so complacent at this moment.

Andrew coughed, and his glance swept across the faces of Darian, Victoria and Iris, in order to

underline his authority and position in the family.

"Business is not going well recently, especially when no more contracts are signed for new orders. The

year-on-year sales did not go up, but went down. What’s the matter with you, Victoria?" Andrew asked,

pounding the desk.

"After a rapid developing period, our production rate is within our capacity. If we sign more contracts for

new orders, we will fail to meet the delivery." Victoria explained helplessly.

It was more of a necessity rather than an option to refuse new orders. It was pointless to sign new

contracts if their production rate was unable to meet the demands. Instead, they should take expansion

into consideration, or start a new project.

However, it had been long since Victoria handed in her project report, but Andrew hadn’t approved the

plan, completely ignoring Victoria’s opinion.

"This is not the excuse for your poor performance! You need to reflect on yourself. Don’t you ever think

you can hang around and do nothing all day just because you have made some achievements in the

past!" Darian rebuked.

"Someone is so arrogant. She really thinks the prosperity of the Griffith family is based on her talent?

When it comes to talent, she sure has some, in some way."

Iris laid stress on every "talent", leaving plenty of room for imagination.

"Victoria, don’t take it as an insult. We hope you work harder." Andrew said in a pretentious way, then

stared at Franklin and said, "Franklin has made great progress recently. He has made the most vital

step for the development of the Griffith family. Franklin, tell us more about it."

After disparaging Victoria, Andrew started to tout his son.

Franklin was grinning from ear to ear. He pushed the documents happily to the center of the

conference table.

"This is the letter of intent I signed with Eduard, the overseas businessman, and the president of the

famous pharmaceutical company, Dunhill Group. It’s mainly about the establishment of a new

production line together, to produce the core medicines developed by Dunhill Group."

"Among them, there are two bestsellers. We have been authorized to use their manufacturing rights for

free for three years. After that, we will negotiate the license fee according to the level of sales. I think

the Griffith family can benefit a lot from it."

After a brief introduction, Franklin raised his head and stared at Victoria proudly, feeling that he could

finally stand with his chin up and defeat Victoria in business.

The moment she heard the name Eduard, Victoria frowned a little, sensing that something was wrong.

Iris said in surprise, "Impressive. Dunhill is an internationally renowned company. Their bestsellers

include not only medicines and health care products, but also relevant health care equipment. If we

really are able to work with them, the Griffith family will prosper at any moment."

"Well done, Franklin. You should have built a relationship with the president of an internationally well-

known company. You have done a great job. Victoria, you should learn from Franklin." Darian started to

complement Franklin.

Franklin stared at Victoria with a grin, raised his eyebrows and said, "Victoria, say something! Do you

think there is any omission in my work? If yes, just spit it out."

Seeing Victoria frowning awkwardly, Franklin grinned even brighter, his face looking like a blooming

flower.

"I suggest cooperating with them with caution. Eduard…" Victoria muttered and said no more. If she

went on, Maximilian would be involved. If the Griffith family knew about it, words would definitely get

around again.

"Humph!" Franklin snorted and said with disappointment, "With caution? Why should we be cautious

about a contract that is so advantageous to us? Are you so jealous of me that you want to ruin the Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

agreement between us? You are daydreaming!"

"Well, someone just enjoys putting on airs. Franklin, make allowance for her. Victoria sleeps with men

and sits on their laps outside home, but she doesn’t allow us to build any connections with others. Am I

right, Victoria?" Iris stared at Victoria in disdain.

Victoria puckered her lips in fury, leaning faintly against the chair.

"There’s no need to care about Victoria’s opinion. This is great for the Griffith family. Franklin, contact

Mr. Eduard at once. Invite him to talk over the cooperation immediately." Andrew said urgently.

At the thought that they could collaborate with Dunhill Group, Andrew’s blood was surging with

exhilaration.

Franklin nodded, glanced scornfully at Victoria, who was unable to talk back, and took out his phone

with his chin up high.

"Hello, Mr. Eduard, I’m Franklin Griffith from the Griffith family. Please call me Franklin." Franklin’s face

screwed into an obsequious smile.

Seeing that face, Victoria shut her eyes. She still held the opinion that Maximilian was better, because

he never groveled to anyone.

Eduard heard Franklin’s greasy voice and said coldly, "Did you read the cooperative agreement?"

"I did, I did. You are so generous, and the whole Griffith family feels extremely flattered. My father is

wondering when you will start the negotiation."

A smile lifted Eduard’s lips. He got that familiar feeling back, the feeling of being respected and

groveled to.

"I will be there in a short while. Let’s have a good talk over the cooperation, but I need two people

present." Eduard had a wicked glint in his eye.

"Please tell me who are they?"

"Victoria and Maximilian."

Franklin’s heart chilled instantly. He was afraid that things would change. "Fine, I will make sure they

are present. But I want to ask, why?"

"Well, that will make a good show. Just do what I said, and you will get your reward soon."

Franklin tumbled to what Eduard meant and glanced at Victoria gloatingly.

"I see."

Franklin hung up the phone and said with a smile, "Mr. Eduard will be here soon to discuss about the

collaboration with us, but he asked Maximilian to be present."

"Victoria, tell that loser to come over." Andrew said in a cold voice.
