Chapter 40: The Shoeprint on His Face!
In the surveillance video, several burly men attacked Maxwell at the same time. However, Maxwell
fended off their attacks with ease. From his expression, she could tell that Maxwell did not exert much
strength.
Maxwell was as calm as ever, but he knocked all the attackers to the ground.
Claudia stared fixedly at the computer screen and slowed down the video. Now she could see
Maxwell's every movement, and she began to study his fighting skills.
Claudia frowned. She could not tell whether Maxwell had ever received special training or not. It just
looked like a casual fight on the streets, and Maxwell didn't use much strength to beat those burly men.
"Ms. Claudia, is there anything I can help you with?" After knocking on the office door, a middle-aged
police officer walked in from outside.
"Take a look at this. Have you ever seen this kind of fighting skill before?" Claudia turned the monitor
over. This man was the martial arts instructor in Ocean City's police station. As the highest martial arts
officer in the police station, he had won the third prize in a domestic Martial Arts Competition. Besides,
he had made caught many convicts before.
The police officer glanced at the surveillance video in a daze. "Ms. Claudia, this person is very skilled
and he has fast movements. However, I can't find any clues from this video, so I can't tell his identity."
Maxwell's fighting skills didn't derive from special training, but even a martial arts instructor could give
him a high evaluation ... Claudia was even more curious about Maxwell's identity ... Why on earth did
the people from Beijing come to protect him?
Claudia had made up her mind. Although Maxwell was a man with many mysteries, she still wanted to
reveal the truth!Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"I see. Thank you." After the martial arts instructor left, Claudia stood up and knocked on the door of
the General Director's office.
Crossing his legs, the General Director was enjoying the new tea of Mount Wuyi. He looked happy and
carefree.
Seeing Claudia walk in, he put down his legs and put on a serious look.
"Director, I'm here to investigate Maxwell's identity in the archives," Claudia said.
The General Director froze. Then he put down the teapot and slowly said, "Claudia, this matter ... Let's
put it aside for now. I still need you to do some other things."
"Why? We haven't known about Maxwell's background. We need to have a thorough investigation of
him. Today, he caused trouble in a hotpot restaurant." Claudia wrapped her arms around her chest and
looked at the General Director.
He looked up and stared at Claudia for a moment before saying, "Claudia, listen to me. In the future,
don't interfere with his affairs ... Even I don't want to know anything about him. Do you understand?"
He would never allow Claudia look into Maxwell's file. He knew very well that with Claudia's character,
she would not give up. That was why he sincerely requested Claudia to give up the investigation!
Claudia stared at the General Director for a long time. Then, without saying a word, she left the office.
Maxwell walked out of the police station and saw a Mercedes-Benz parked by the side of the road. The
beautiful woman sitting in the car looked very familiar. After taking a closer look, he found it was
Harriet.
Maxwell walked to the side of the car and asked Harriet in surprise, "You also have a car?"
Maxwell had never seen Harriet drive her own car. She always took Greta's Maybach or rode his
bicycle. Maxwell had thought that Harriet did not buy a car, but now he knew he was wrong.
Harriet rolled her eyes at Maxwell. "Why can't I have a car?"
Maxwell smiled faintly. "I thought you didn't like cars."
Harriet cast a glance at him and said, "Let's talk after you get in the car."
After Maxwell got on, Harriet said, "I don't like driving by myself, so after returning to China, I always
take Greta's car. I don't want to buy my own car."
"Then where did you get this car?" Maxwell was puzzled.
"After I came out of the hotpot restaurant, I felt it was necessary to have a car. So I just bought one."
Harriet casually patted the steering wheel. Her smile was gentle but also domineering.
It was evident that Harriet was showing off ... She felt that she couldn't do without a car, so she bought
a Mercedes-Benz ... If ordinary people heard Harriet say this, they would be quite envious of her.
Maxwell just stayed calm, as if he wasn't shocked by her words. He just nodded and seated himself.
Harriet came from a wealthy family. Coupled with her high status in overseas business, it was easy for
her to buy a Mercedes-Benz.
What made Maxwell even calmer was that a Mercedes-Benz was just an ordinary car for him.
He had every limited-edition Mercedes-Benz in the world. They were all parked in the underground
garage of his villa in Belgian.
Compared to the limited-edition Mercedes-Benz that was rare and expensive, the ordinary one bought
by Harriet was inferior.
After returning to the Sandoval Tower, Maxwell and Harriet got off the car. Just as they took the
elevator to the top floor, they heard a loud noise.
Confused, Maxwell walked out of the elevator and saw a young girl at the front desk. With tears falling
down her cheeks, she was tightly grabbing the sleeve of a man wearing a suit. It was obvious that she
was unwilling to let him go.
Many employees gathered around, discussing about the girl's indecent behavior.
"What's going on?" Maxwell pushed the crowd aside and walked over to the young girl.
"You said that you only loved me. I am even pregnant with your child, but you told me that your
daughter is five years old. What shall I do?" the young girl complained with tears in her eyes.
The man in the suit snorted coldly and said condescendingly, "I didn't love you at all. I've already given
you 50,000 yuan, but you are still unsatisfied. You shameless bitch!"
The young girl looked like a high school student. She had a pretty face, and she was curvaceous.
At this moment, she looked at the man desperately. Tears kept flowing down her cheeks, and she was
in anguish.
"Let me go!" The man's voice became colder. "If you don't let go of me, I will call the security. Stop
disgracing yourself!"
"No! You must come with me. You didn't answer my phone for two weeks, and I couldn't even find you
... If I did anything wrong, I can admit my mistakes and become better. I beg you not to leave me..."
The young girl kept shaking her head, and the man became more impatient. He pushed her away and
patted his wrinkled suit. "If you hadn't been obedient, do you think I wanted to be with you? Fuck off!
Don't ever come to me again!"
Just as the girl was about to grab onto him, the man kicked her in the lower abdomen, causing her to
become pale with pain.
"I told you to have an abortion, but you refused. You just want to use that baby to control me, right?
Don't even think about it!" The man snorted coldly. Maxwell had an idea about what had happened
from the other employees.
The man in the suit was President Gerald of the Sandoval Group. It was said that he had some
connections with Greta. He was like a tyrant in the company. Although he had a wife and children, he
still hooked up with other young pretty girls. What was worse, after making these girls pregnant, he
refused to take the responsibility.
Situations like this took place several times in the Sandoval Group before.
What was even more interesting was that Gerald once pursued Greta. During that period of time, he
had been following behind her wherever she went. Later, after being slapped by Greta on the spot a
few times, he finally gave up on her.
"Where is the guard? Get her out of here!" Gerald frowned and shouted.
"You can try it." Suddenly, a cold voice came from the side. Maxwell appeared behind the young girl
and helped her up.
Standing by his side, Harriet stared at Gerald with a gloomy expression.
"Who the hell are you? Fuck off!" Gerald glanced at Maxwell and sneered.
Maxwell looked down at the girl. At this moment, she was frowning, looking extremely painful.
With a sigh, Maxwell reached out and secretly tapped on her body a few times. After that, her sharp
pain dissipated a lot.
Maxwell then looked up at Gerald with a cold look. He was already been gripped by anger!
Gerald had crossed Maxwell's bottom line!
Maxwell said in a mocking tone, "She's already three months pregnant. You are indeed a cold-blooded
man."
After looking carefully at Maxwell for a while, Gerald sneered. "So it's you. Why did you start interfering
in my affairs? Are you bored by being Ms. Greta's dog?"
Harriet then scolded, "Apologize to that girl, otherwise, I won't allow you to leave." Her face grew
solemn. It was obvious that she had also been enraged by this man.
"Who do you think you are? You aren't even qualified to speak with me!" Gerald sneered. His tone was
extremely arrogant!
"I've never seen you in the Sandoval Group. Who the hell are you?" Gerald glanced sideways at
Harriet and asked with disdain.
Maxwell was Greta's useless husband. As for that woman, he had never seen her before. How dared
they threaten him?
"I'm Greta's best friend, the president of Panache Jewelry Group," Harriet said with a cold expression.
She had never seen such a shameless bastard. His behavior was inhumane!
He even kicked a woman who was already three months pregnant ... It was possible that she might
lose her baby!
Harriet always had a good temper, but in the face of such a situation, she could no longer suppress her
anger.
"I've been following Ms. Greta for several years. How come I've never seen you before?" Gerald tidied
up his suit and his face turned grave. "Where are the security guards? Drive them out! How dared them
enter the Sandoval Group ... In the future, if they ever get close to the company, arrest them
immediately!" he shouted sternly.
Just as he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly came close to him!
Then a red and dirty shoe print appeared on his face!
