Regal Guard of Dragon

Chapter 15 Happy Maura

"Maura, you bitch!" Hank Xia gnashed his teeth and said furiously. Never had he been so disgraced.

But just now, because of Maura, Scott slapped him publicly in the family meeting. God knew how much

he wanted to kill her.

At this time, Carl walked in and said, "Hank."

"Dad," Hank lowered his head. Initially, he planned to take the engineering team from Grant to Carl. But

Maura had ruined everything. Even Carl's teams were gone.

He had made a Pretty Woman sized mistake.

"Alas"

Carl sighed and said, "Do you know what's your fault?"

"I shouldn't have asked for Uncle Gran's engineering team before," Hank said, embarrassed. That's

true. If he didn't do that, Maura wouldn't hold a grudge against him, let alone steal Scott's team.

Carl shook his head and replied, "No, not that; you did the right thing."

Hank looked at Scott, confused.

Carl added, "For our big family, there are no family relations at all. Everyone puts his interests in the

first place. Scott is not eligible to hold those engineering teams. You and I should manage those. Only

in that way can we maximize the interest. I'm glad that you got this point.

"Well then, what did I do wrong?"

"You cannot offend your grandfather. He is the one who has the biggest say in our whole Xia Family.

But you made him lose face."

Hearing this, Hank realized the problem instantly. He was too mad then.

"Later, when he gets better, go to your grandfather and tell him you're wrong. You should apologize to

him."

"Ok. I will. Thank you, daddy, " Hank replied.

"Hank, keep in mind that never violate your grandfather," Carl urged again.

"Sure. I won't be there in the future. But Maura had stolen our engineering team. What should we do?"

Hank asked worriedly. After all, engineering teams were the core and the only way to make money for

Xia's Family. Without those teams, he and his father would be like generals without an army.

Carl shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice, "You still don't get my point."

"Even if Maura had the engineering teams, without projects, they can achieve nothing."

"But she has projects. That bitch had reached a cooperation with the Group of Pinnacle. Frankly, that's

a big deal." Hank said.

Carl didn't talk about the project anymore but said, "My son, keep that in mind—your grandfather has

the most significant say in our family. "

"Dad, do you mean..." Hank replied surprisedly.

Carl continued, "Maura did reach a good deal with the Group of Pinnacle, but it is up to your

grandfather, who will be the head."

"No matter how capable Maura is, she is a woman, let alone her useless husband. In no way will your

grandpa give her the project."

"But you, you are the only male in the third generation of our family. You're born to be the heir. Even if

your grandfather is dissatisfied with you, he will make you run the project."

"Haha~Dad, I get it!" Hank was thrilled, "Maura was nothing but a good helper. Although she agreed

with the Group of Pinnacle, I'm the one who runs the project in the end. Wow, it seems I need to extend

my gratitude to that bitch. Thank her for offering me such a good opportunity."

Carl smiled cunningly and said, "Yeah, you should thank her."

"I think I should call her to give me back the engineering team," Hank said hopefully. He couldn't wait to

have the team and start the project right now.

However, Carl shook his head and said, "No. Make it slow. You can't demand the team first. After all,

you have made a bet."

"But without the engineering team, how can we begin our project?", Hank asked.

"The engineering team will come back to you sooner or later. Besides, then, Maura will give that to you

willingly." Carl stated confidently.

"Why?"

"The nine engineering teams have more than 3,000 people who are not working now. But Maura had to

pay for their salary of nearly 8 million. She cannot afford that." Carl smiled viciously.

"Now, the Project of the Spring Hill represents the top priority. All resources of Xia's Family have to be

in service of this project. Your grandpa will not let her pick up other works. Think about that. If the

project cannot start a few days later, the whole family will pressure Maura. Then she has no choice but

to give you back the teams."

Like a cunning fox, Carl had planned all well.

Hank shook his fist in excitement. He didn't expect things would go this way.

"Maura, huh, stupid women. All you do is for me," Hank thought.

At this time, Maura had returned home.

The first thing she did was to ask Finn Chen about his relations with Shane Lin.

Finn had already prepared his answer well--they were close classmates in college.

Maura was convinced, and even Leah started to appreciate him.

Anyway, having been in Xia's Family for three years, he had achieved something.

Maura was delighted that, for the first time, she felt protected by her husband.

And Finn was also very glad that he could make his wife happy.

After washing up, Finn returned to his bedroom. Despite their three-year marriage, they slept in

separate rooms all the time.

Finn knew that Maura would not refuse his proposal to sleep together, but he didn't want to.

He did hope to have coitus with Maura. He loved Maura. But he would rather sleep with a Maura who

fell in love with him.

Finn was uncertain whether Maura loved him. Perhaps she loved him, or she was just moved.

That's why he never crossed the line.

He hoped that one day, Maura would love him from the bottom of her heart.

That kind of sleep was much more meaningful and romantic.

"Bang! Bang! "

All of a sudden, someone was knocking on the door.
