"Ah, why do I have to be here?" Leo muttered as he let out a rough breath after his car stopped right at Mr. Walter's mansion. Leo turned his gaze to the right side, seeing several bodyguards already lined up to greet him in front of the entrance. It was really annoying when he returned to this place. Leo's memory flashed back to the time when he was unceremoniously dumped and humiliated in this mansion. All those years of marriage with Liona, but in the end everything he worked for ended up in vain. "Mr. Leo. Are you alright?" asked Bram who was sitting in the driver's seat. He understood what had happened to Leo. Leo immediately turned his gaze to Bram and raised both eyebrows. He pretended to show he didn't feel anything, even though he was actually annoyed. "What? What the hell happened to me?" Leo asked. Bram flinched for a moment and just watched Leo. He didn't seem to believe Leo's words because Leo's gestures were very awkward. "I mean, you look upset about comin
"Can you not start an argument when I'm talking about something important?" After Mr. Walter spoke, Leo and Mr. Jonsen then turned their respective eyes towards Mr. Walter again. They looked irritated at each other because of the brief argument that happened a moment ago. "I actually find it curious. Wal Chemical Company's factory will produce medicines that are sold to conglomerates, right? Are you also going to sell to regular guests?" Leo asked. "Mr. Leo. The Grand Ocean Restaurant is just an outward appearance known to the public. But in reality, behind the Grand Ocean Restaurant, we are a hotel with the largest club and a place for international business traffic. "They can choose which goods and facilities we provide. Only a few conglomerates have reserved a place at a very high price to join as VVIP guests," Mr. Walter explained with a sense of pride. "Of course, regular guests can enter if they have enough money to pay for the membership," Catrina said as she rested her c
"Of course I want to do other things, such as paying attention to how Grand Ocean's target market is in order to know how the performance process works," said Leo, who gave a calm smile at the end of the sentence. After Leo said that, Mr. Jonsen burst out laughing. There was a look of disbelief on his face. But Mr. Jonsen didn't say anything anymore. "You don't have any bad thoughts about me, do you, Mr. Walter?" asked Leo who raised both eyebrows. Mr. Walter gave Leo a smile of formality. Compared to Mr. Jonsen, Mr. Walter's face displayed a calmer formality smile. "Of course not, Mr. Leo. I know that you have good plans for Grand Ocean," Mr. Walter replied. Leo immediately turned to Mr. Jonsen with his smile curved to imply the satisfaction of being defended. Leo didn't say anything at all.Meanwhile, Mr. Jonsen snorted in disgust as he cast his gaze in another direction. "Why are you arguing about something you shouldn't?" asked Mr. Walter who looked at Mr. Jonsen and Leo i
"Leo, what have you found?" Mr. Holland asked when he saw Leo's arrival. Leo's steps moved rather quickly towards the sofa, then flung his body to sit there. Leo let out a long sigh as he was still feeling very upset. His mind was still dwelling on the conversation with Mr. Walter a few moments ago. While from behind, Hans and Bram walked along with confused looks. They didn't know what Leo had talked about with Mr. Walter. During the trip, all Leo did was remain silent as if thinking about something. "I didn't expect him to say that," Leo said with a dumbfounded look. Mr. Holland frowned at Leo's words, also watching Leo's expression now. As he stepped towards the sofa where Leo was, Mr. Holland looked at Bram and Hans as if asking questions. Unfortunately, Bram and Hans could not give an answer at all. They just shook their heads and showed doubtful expressions. "Hasn't everything that happened already passed? He shouldn't have said that," Leo muttered again. "Isn't he ashamed
"I met with Mr. Zaves, Father," Leo gave a report after he was in front of Mr. Holland. Mr. Holland stopped the movement of his hand that was writing something down. He had a surprised look on his face after hearing Leo's words. Slowly, he raised his face and looked at Leo as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. "What are you saying now?" asked Mr. Holland, frowning in displeasure. Leo already knew that Mr. Holland would not approve of his actions. "Since when did you act on your own without seeking my approval, Leo?" Mr. Holland protested. Calmly, Leo immediately curved his smile. "May I sit down?" Leo asked politely. After Mr. Holland nodded his approval, Leo then pulled out a chair and sat down with a heavy sigh. Leo began to face Mr. Holland who looked at him very seriously. "I know you will disagree with my actions, Father-" "Of course. Do you know how terrible the environment of such people is?" interrupted Mr. Holland directly, his tone imp
"Why are you asking me that, Father?" asked Leo who looked confused at Mr. Holland.With a suspicious look at Leo, Mr. Holland walked slowly over to him. For a few seconds Mr. Holland just watched Leo and seemed to be trying to figure out what he was thinking. "Of course I knew that you were thinking about something. But you didn't want to tell me," Mr. Holland said. Leo didn't give Mr. Holland an answer right away. At that moment Leo considered whether he should tell Mr. Holland or not. He was worried that what Mr. Walter said would affect Mr. Holland. "If you don't tell me, you won't be able to get a solution, Leo," said Mr. Holland who tried to persuade calmly. "I'm not having any problems," Leo replied softly. Mr. Holland exhaled as his shoulders slumped limply. Although Leo repeatedly denied what he said, he still realized that Leo was hiding something. "Are you sure you're not going to tell me? You can't possibly carry all the burden alone, Leo," Mr. Holland replied. Se
"Mr. Walter, can I talk to you for a moment?" Leo said, stopping Mr. Walter who was talking to some other company investors. Mr. Walter's gaze shifted to Leo. So did several investors who were in front of Mr. Walter. Seeing Leo's presence made them immediately put on expressions of surprise and astonishment. "Oh, Mr. Leo is also at this event?" asked one of the retail company CEOs, Mr. Orphan. Leo gave a brief smile in greeting. "Of course. What's keeping me from coming after Mr. Walter's invitation?" Leo replied with a chuckle. Mr. Orphan nodded his head in understanding. "Do you also intend to invest in Mr. Walter's business innovation? Aren't... you guys business rivals?" Getting that question made Leo flinch for a while. During his silence, he looked at each other with Mr. Walter as if asking how to answer. "I'm still considering it and don't want to tell you yet. Oh, about us being business rivals... just ask Mr. Walter," Leo replied. After Leo's glance fell on hi
"Liona, how are you?" Leo asked as soon as he was in front of Liona. In the VVIP seat, Liona looked dumbfounded in awe of Leo's figure. Her eyes sparkled, her smile curved brightly, and her sitting posture automatically straightened to show interest. All the gestures Liona showed upon seeing Leo's arrival were completely unheard of for Leo. In all the years they had been in a married relationship, Liona did not even seem to genuinely love him. "Ah, Leo. You've finally come," Liona said then, her smile brightening. Leo gave a formal smile as a sign of greeting Liona. On the other hand, Leo also knew that Liona's sweet attitude towards him was just a fake. How could Leo not realize that Liona did not really love him? Liona was only sweet to him when she became the CEO of a big company. So if Leo had not become the eldest son and CEO of Mr. Holland's company, would Liona have been this sweet to him? "You've really changed drastically, Leo," Liona said, looking at Leo with
