When Leon and Aria got to the penthouse, Dean was sprawled on the sofa in the living room munching down on some snacks. He was doing it so noisily and sloppily that a mouthful of them fell on him and on the chair instead of entering his mouth. When he saw them come in, he raised his eyes and immediately looked disappointed when he didn’t see a scratch on Leon. No, Leon looked even more energetic than when he left earlier this morning. “Hey, did you hide away while your boss did your job for you? Why are you without a scratch when you should be fighting for your life right now?” Leon stared at him blankly like one who didn’t understand a word he was saying while Aria paused and glanced at Dean coldly. “Do you have nothing else to do but to pick on Leon?” Dean sat up immediately and huffed, “What? Are you supporting him doing nothing when he was with Mr. Larol?” “What if it was really Mr. Larol who got hurt instead? Will you take responsibility if he asks the bank to return his m

“Rest assured that the President took his time to go through the proposals of every 20 candidates before he came to a decision. Now, let’s hear from him.” As soon as he finished speaking, the Jumbotron screens placed all around the place lit up with a view of an office swivel chair. They could all see the window which belonged to the office situated on the first floor. Five seconds later, Leon majestically walked to sit on the swivel chair. Earlier, he had positioned the camera not to show his face. All the people downstairs could see was his tie and hands as he flipped through the document he was holding. “Is the camera not properly placed? Why can’t we see his face?” “You’re right. I’ve been waiting for his face to come into view all this time. I think the camera wasn’t set up properly.” “Mr. Wyatt, please hurry up and inform the President we can’t see his face.” However, Grant turned to them with a small smile. “The President does not plan to reveal his identity just yet.”

Joseph was taken aback for a moment. He was about to say something, but paused when he realized Grant Wyatt was being serious. Furthermore, every other person behind the stage and in the auditorium had their eyes pinned on him. The last thing he wanted was to insist on signing the contract only to end up embarrassing himself in public. He smacked his lips together and laughed awkwardly to make the situation he was in less embarrassing before passing the contract back to Grant. “Forgive me, Chairman Wyatt. I just thought I’d be a more suitable candidate to sign the contract since I’m a senior executive. My bad.”The staff behind Grant snatched the contract away from him and stretched it towards Aria directly. Grant looked away from Joseph without responding. He then flashed Aria a small smile and continued, “Like i said earlier, you’re free to take it back with you to Wentworth.” “Go through it with your lawyer and if you there’s anything you’re not comfortable with in the contrac

After Grant watched the video, his face grew solemn. Then he handed the phone back to Elliot with the words, “Connect it to the screens so everyone can see what I just watched.” Elliot nodded and walked to the back of the stage. Not knowing what the video was about was killing James. So when Elliot walked away, he hurried over to Grant’s side and laughed nervously. “Chairman Wyatt, you do know my family, right?” Grant kept his eyes on ahead of him as he retorted, “The Keal family of Pinevale, who doesn’t know them?” James grinned broadly. “Exactly. I hear Kings Technology Group is plannong to expand to Pinevale in six months time. Imagine how rest assured you’d be to have a familiar face looking after the branch there.” Grant resisted the urge to sneer realizing where the conversation was going. Instead, he turned to him and said flatly, “If you’re offering to look after the branch there for the company, I’d be grateful to you, Mr. Keal.” James hurriedly waved him aside like i

However, instead of hitting Aria’s face, her palm landed on Leon’s back. He had walked in with Aria, so when he saw Stella raise her hand to hit Aria, he turned and hugged her tightly to himself, shielding her from receiving the slap. When Stella saw this, she boiled with rage, “What is this? Is this how you kept disobeying your uncle in South Ville?” “M-mother-in-law, what are you talking about?” Emma stuttered in disbelief, finding the situation confusing. Stella shifted her attention from Aria to her and instantly lashed out at her. “You call me your mother-in-law, but you do the opposite of everything I tell you to do.” Before Emma could find her tongue to retort, Anthony stepped forward and knitted his brows into a tight frown. “What is this about, mother? Aria got the investment like you wanted her to. Why hit her instead of praising her for a job well done?” Stella clenched her jaw tightly snorted angrily, “Your brother called me on his way back to Wentworth and he told
