Chapter 24 It was the 23rd.
Chapter 24 It was the 23rd.
Victoria was stunned. A few tear drops crossed the corners of her eyes. She turned around, slammed
the door of her room, and hid in her room, crying alone.
Maximilian, could I still trust you?
In the living room, seeing that, Laura was cursing and sternly accusing Maximilian.
Maximilian just glanced at her and went to the kitchen.
On the 22nd, more and more people were discussing the birthday party in Caesars Palace Hotel. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Every year at this time, the Griffiths would prepare in advance to celebrate the birthday of their great-
granddaughter.
Although Victoria and Maximilian became a taunt during these days every year, Samuel still cherished
his great-granddaughter and prepared the birthday party for her..
But someone in the Griffiths did something on purpose, among which Franklin made the largest
contribution.
But this time was different. Surprisingly, the Griffiths did nothing. There was no sign of preparation for
the birthday party of their great- granddaughter.
It was even said that Samuel did not cherish his great-granddaughter any more due to Maximilian, who
was a good-for-nothing man and lived off his wife had contradicted Samuel for several times.
And this time everyone knew that a father had chartered the Caesar Palace Hotel for his daughter's
birthday party. The whole city focused on the Griffiths and no one would like to be associated with
them.
The tycoon who had chartered Caesar Palace Hotel had not shown up yet, and even his identity was
not known, which made more people expect and wonder about that day.
Who was he? In the Griffiths company, the relatives and corporate executives of the Griffiths were all
furious at the moment. They were all disgraced because of Maximilian and Victoria.
For the past two days, people of the Griffiths had stayed at home. Even Samuel chose to stay in the old
mansion to have a rest.
In the past three years, the Griffiths should be busy preparing for Sissi's birthday these two days. But it
was unexpectedly different this time.
"Damn it! We are so humiliated because Victoria and Maximilian!"
"That Maximilian is a disgrace to males. He should be killed! The bastard should also be killed!"
"Victoria is a bane. Because of her, all of us have to suffer the criticism and snickering of others along
with her."
Some young people of the Griffiths got together and were discussing and blaming Victoria bitterly. They
wanted to kill Maximilian and Victoria!
Franklin, however, smiled lightly with a look of anticipation.
"Frank, why do you smile? Do you think it's a honor?"
One of them asked.
Franklin looked indifferent and said, "You have a one-track mind. It'll be better that more and more
people know about it.”
They were dumbfounded and did not understand what he meant at all.
Iris laughed and said as she painted her nails aside,
"You are too stupid. It is Victoria and Maximilian who will be disgraced of things get worse. In that case,
Victoria will be kicked out of the Griffiths company.
Grandpa is anxious to keep up appearances, so Victoria, who had caused shame to the Griffiths will
gain nothing in the end. She will even lost the opportunity to cooperate with the Graham Group,”
Hearing that, the others suddenly understood. They all sneered because they were glad to see Victoria
in difficulties.
"It explains the matter. Ha-ha. You have sharp eyes, Brother Frank and Sister Iris."
"That's right. I believe Brother Frank should be the head of the Griffiths!"
Franklin laughed and suddenly asked,
"By the way, are you going to Caesar Palace Hotel? I want to meet the mysterious billionaire.
Anyway, I heard that lots of people will go to the banquet tomorrow evening. After all, there booked
three hundred tables for the banquet. The whole Caesar Palace Hotel with more than ten floors has
been chartered, and several nearby hotels were also chartered out. All of them would like to see the
billionaire.”
"Yes. Of course. It's silly not to go to dinner for free. I've heard that each table is a luxury meal worthy
50,000 dollars."
"Really? Then I'll go too!"
At once, all of young people of the Griffiths wanted to go. Although their grandpa had ordered that no
one was allowed to go, he could not stop them.
Today, Leila Thomson was unhappy, in part because she just returned home and a group of men who
used to pursue her came together to propose a marriage to her, in part because her best friend Victoria
was in trouble.
Undoubtedly, she had heard about the birthday party in Caesar Palace Hotel, which had being
discussed animatedly for the past few days.
Fucking Maximilian!
It was him who caused Victoria to suffer so much.
Victoria must be heart-broken at this moment, so she was planning to visit Victoria.
Suddenly, her phone rang. When she looked at the screen, she found that it was an unknown number,
so she hung up.
However, the number called in again immediately. Leila was proud and had bad temper. She answered
the phone and scolded,
"What's up? I have no need to apply for a loan, buy any houses or rent any store. You damn salesman,
go to hell!"
"Leila?" She heard a familiar male voice.
Leila frowned and her arms folded over her chest with an LV bag on her shoulder. She asked coldly,
"Who's that? A suitor? Then line up in front of my house.”
"No. This is Maximilian."
When Leila heard the name, she was as angry as a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she
became furious immediately and scolded crazily,
"Maximilian? You even have the courage to phone me. Do you know what kind of criticism Victoria has
been suffering because of you these few days? You scum! Loser!”
Leila cursed so much that she kept scolding for ten minutes before she took a break. Then she said
coldly,
"How did you get my number? Wait. Why do you phone me? Damn! I see. You want to pick me up?
Maximilian, I'm telling you. It's not possible! You scumbag, you madman. I'll tell Victoria!"
Hearing that, Maximilian was dumbfounded at the moment. It was said that Leila was sexy but stupid. It
was true.
She was a bit silly, but righteous. She really cared much about Victoria.
"You're overthinking it. Victoria is my only beloved. I phone you to ask you a favor."
Maximilian replied and shook his head hopelessly.
"A favor?"
Leila’s expression was cold and cool. She pulled the door of the red Ferrari, and raised her long
straight legs to get in the car. Then she said,
"Why should I help you."
"It's related to Victoria, and if you help me, you're helping Victoria.’
Maximilian said.
"Victoria?"
Leila frowned in thought and asked, "What's up?"
As long as it had to do with Victoria, Leila was willing to help.
"Tomorrow night, take Victoria and my daughter Sissi to Caesar Palace Hotel, but keep it a secret and
don't tell Victoria it’s my
arrangement."
Maximilian was ready for this surprise, and Victoria would definitely like it.
I would fulfill my promise.
"Tomorrow night?
It's the 23rd, isn't it? You're crazy, Maximilian!
You know what's going to happen tomorrow night at Caesar Palace Hotel, but you want me to take
them there. Why? Do you want to irritate Victoria? Do you want her to be the laughing stock of the
whole city?"
Leila became extremely furious and thought Maximilian was a jerk. How dared he do this at this critical
moment?
"It's my daughter's birthday on the 23rd, and it’s also the suffering day for Victoria as a mother. I will
never forget the date. She is the woman I will spend my life to cherish. I will surprise her, and I hope
you can help me."
Maximilian said sincerely and it moved Leila.
Leila was moved especially when he said it was also the suffering day Victoria as a mother.
She did not know what it was like to give birth to a baby. Besides, her mother died as soon as she was
born.
So, she grew up with her father for all these years.
She had no impression of her mother.
Therefore, she hated herself very much because she always believed that it was herself who killed her
mother.
Her father had been indifferent to her for over twenty years because of this, too.
"Fine. I'll help you. But if you make Victoria disgraced in front of the whole city, I'll be the first to kill you!"
Leila said through clenched teeth and slammed down her phone with hatred. She then sat alone in the
car, slumped over the steering wheel and cried.
She misses her mother.
The 23rd finally arrived.
The day causing the sensation of the whole city eventually arrived.
On this day, media from all over H City rushed to Caesar Palace Hotel to make preparations hours in
advance.
At eight o'clock at night, the glorious Caesar Palace Hotel was ablaze with lights. The whole city
focused on the hotel.
A dozen nearby streets were also crowded and lit up with neon lights, causing a little congestion for a
while.
Everyone rushed to Caesar Palace Hotel to enjoy the fun. They wanted to catch a glimpse of the
mysterious tycoon who had chartered Caesar Palace Hotel for the night!
Even the nearby hotels and malls were packed with people with their phones in hand, excitedly waiting
for what would happen next.
Because tonight Caesar Palace Hotel had spent heavily to create an open-air crystal palace right on
the roof. It looked like a blooming white rose. The sparkling crystal and red rose-paved floor had
become a dreamland for all women in the city, which made them envious and admiring.
What would happen tonight in the crystal white rose palace where the white light shone all over the city
would make everyone envious.
What a happy wife and daughter they would be!.
In the three-bedroom suite of the second wife of the Griffiths.
"Leila, where shall we go? I have to go to the hospital later to take care of Sissi."
Victoria was currently in a black backless trailing evening gown, with her hair coiled. She was noble,
elegant and charming.
Leila held Victoria's fair chin, looking at her, who looked like a beautiful black swan at the moment. Leila
laughed and said,
"Don't ask So many questions. Just listen to me. I have a friend who wants to give you a surprise, and
you'll know it then.”
"Surprise? Friends? Who?"
Victoria was confused as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Mom." At this moment, one of the maids of the Thomsons came in. She held Sissi in a little princess
dress in her arm.
"Sissi."
Victoria held Sissi and looked at Leila in surprise.
"Leila, what are you doing? Why did you even bring Sissi here? Your friend wants to see my daughter
too?"
Leila smiled, held Victoria's shoulder to push her out and said,
"Well, stop it. You'll know when we arrive. Let's go.’
Soon, Leila left with Victoria and Sissi who was curious, heading straight to Caesar Palace.
However, the car was parked in the underground parking lot, and Victoria still did not know that she had
arrived at the Caesar Palace Hotel.
When she got on the elevator, Victoria realized that the place was empty and there were two women in
red ceremonial costume at the entrance. They looked at herself with smiles and said politely,
"Miss Griffith, please follow me."
"You know me?"
Victoria was a bit surprised and felt strange all the way.
Somehow, she felt nervous, so she looked at Leila, who was snickering aside, and asked.
"Leila, what's going on?"
Leila did not say anything.
As they got on the elevator, Leila thought that damn Maximilian had prepared pretty well. She hoped he
would not let them down.
The elevator rose soon and took them outside the underground parking lot. Then bright spotlights came
from everywhere.
The elevator was made of transparent glass on all sides and was on the exterior of Caesar Palace
Hotel. It seemed like a ladder to heaven.
At this moment, all the people with cell phones and cameras became excited!
"They are here! They are here! Look. She’s beautiful!"
At this moment, Victoria realized where she had come, and her pretty face was full of shocks. She
covered her mouth with her hands as tears were welling in her eyes.
She could see excited people everywhere. Every floor of the Caesar Palace Hotel were crowded.
Boom! Boom!
The sky was full of colorful fireworks.
"Leila, are... are we in the Caesar Palace Hotel? Are we in the wrong place?"
Victoria got nervous.
