Leo frowned. He knew Mr. Jonsen seemed to realize there was something wrong. How could Mr. Jonsen have such sharp instincts to realize something was wrong? "I told you, ask Mr. Walter about-" "Not when you were negotiating with Mr. Walter, but before," Mr. Jonsen interrupted. "Did you do anything to Mr. Pablo Nerulda before the meeting with Mr. Walter?" Mr. Jonsen's question made Leo suddenly silent. Leo almost couldn't contain his surprise because Mr. Jonsen guessed right. Luckily, Leo tried to just stare at Mr. Jonsen through an offended gaze. During the few seconds Leo was silent, the eyes of the others began to change to show curiosity. They seemed to want to find out Leo's explanation. 'Damn, Mr. Jonsen is quite dangerous with his very strong instincts,' Leo thought with some annoyance. Mr. Jonsen, on the other hand, raised both eyebrows with a suspicious glance. There was an arch of a smile that implied he was satisfied with being able to corner Leo. "I don't
"The amount of money is four million dollars," Hans said. "There's no way Mr. Jonathan would have gotten that amount of money if he didn't have anything to do with Mr. Walter." "Is my father hiding something?" Leo wondered suspiciously. "Is there something we should find out, Mr. Leo?" asked Hans. Leo turned his gaze to Hans. For a few seconds, he needed to think about what he should do. "How do I know what happened between Mr. Jonathan and Mr. Walter?" *** "I am very pleased and honored to be standing in front of all of you, potential investors, to present Grand Ocean Central. A restaurant that will provide additional resort facilities for VVIPs." Leo sat looking at Mr. Walter who was presenting the business plan of his new resort restaurant. His presence was completely unknown to Mr. Walter. Leo had registered as a potential investor for the Walt Group Company. Leo even deliberately took a seat in a row that was quite far from the stage. While listening to Mr. Walter's l
As soon as Leo made the turn, Jonsen strode down the very quiet hallway. The lights were rather dim. This was the way to the warehouse-like room and the evacuation route. "What are you doing exactly, Mr. Leo?" Leo's steps immediately stopped after Jonsen said that. He was surprised that Jonsen already knew he was following behind. Jonsen stopped walking. He turned around and smoked a cigarette, then exhaled the smoke with a sharp look. One hand was stuffed into his pants pocket, while his gesture seemed to challenge Leo. "I knew you'd follow me," Jonsen said with a grin. The cigarette smoke was exhaled again. Leo exhaled a rough breath, looking annoyed. From the way Jonsen said it, he had guessed that Jonsen was setting him up on purpose. "Did you do it on purpose?" asked Leo with a hint of sarcasm. Jonsen flinched as he flattened the cigarette in the air with his finger. For a few seconds Jonsen looked at Leo sharply. then gradually a grinning smile appeared on hi
Where he stood, Leo was dumbfounded. He froze and stared at the staff who seemed reluctant to him. Leo just give a little smile. "Thank you for your welcome," Leo replied warmly. "Well, you shouldn't have to do this." One of the people among the staff approached Leo. The man who had a name tag that read 'Director of Araizona Group Company' gave a smile of formality. "I didn't expect to meet the heir of Araizona Group Company. I'm Mr. Pedro, Director of Araizona Group. I'm very happy to welcome you." Leo arched a warm smile in reply to Mr. Pedro's words. "Thank you, Mr. Pedro," Leo said. Before Leo could say anything else, Bram suddenly approached him. Bram whispered something very serious to Leo. "Mr. Leo, someone is waiting to see you in the VIP room." Leo's eyebrows furrowed at Bram's words. Leo briefly looked at Bram as if asking who was coming, then Bram replied by shaking his head. "That person asked not to mention his name in front of you," Bram explained. "Should I
"In this world there is such a thing as a strategy. What I'm doing is my strategy to join you guys," Leo said. "Let me guess, besides me, there must be a lot of people trying to join the DID Cartel, right?" Mr. Jonsen immediately frowned for a few seconds. At a glance, the look on his face changed to one of astonishment. "Yes, and some of those who managed to join ended up becoming traitors," Mr. Jonsen said sarcastically. After Mr. Jonsen said that, Leo deliberately put on an offended expression. "Gosh, Mr. Jonsen, I'm so offended. Did you just think that I would become a traitor?" Leo asked in a very dramatized tone. Mr. Jonsen grinned. "What guarantee is there that you won't betray us? You're from the Holland Family-a family that is enemies with the Walter Family." "Then?" asked Leo as he raised both eyebrows. He was increasingly deliberately pretending to give a look of dislike. "I don't think it's appropriate for you to say that to someone who has contributed. Y
Before Leo could say anything else, Bram suddenly approached him. Bram whispered something very serious to Leo. "Mr. Leo, someone is waiting to see you in the VIP room." Leo's eyebrows furrowed at Bram's words. Leo briefly looked at Bram as if asking who was coming, then Bram replied by shaking his head. "That person asked not to mention his name in front of you," Bram explained. "Should I come there now?" asked Leo. "They seem urgent to talk to you." Leo finally looked at Mr. Pedro and the staff. "I really appreciate your hospitality. Sorry, I have to meet someone who wants to talk to me now. It's an urgent situation," Leo excused himself. It wasn't long before Leo stepped out again with Bram. Followed by two bodyguards who led them to the VIP room. "Why won't they tell us who they are, Bram?" Leo asked. "I don't understand, Mr. Leo. Maybe it was to get you to meet him, but he should have made an appointment first." "Either he's so desperate, or he's someone from the cong
"There are already staff waiting in the lobby, Mr. Leo," Bram informed him. Leo slowly got out of the car after refusing Bram's help. That made Bram step quickly over to Leo for security. Leo and Bram walked hand in hand to the lobby door of Araizona Group Company. Leo breathed in the fresh air of the luxurious building he hadn't stepped into in years. Leo saw several staff standing on either side, giving way, bowing in respect. "Greetings, Mr. Leo!" They exclaimed firmly in Leo's honor. Where he stood, Leo was dumbfounded. He froze and stared at the staff who seemed reluctant to him. Leo just give a little smile. "Thank you for your welcome," Leo replied warmly. "Well, you shouldn't have to do this." One of the people among the staff approached Leo. The man who had a name tag that read 'Director of Araizona Group Company' gave a smile of formality. "I didn't expect to meet the heir of Araizona Group Company. I'm Mr. Pedro, Director of Araizona Group. I'm very happy to welc
Leo smiled meaningfully as he heard Mr. Holland's question."I actually wanted to accept Mr. Walter's offer of cooperation. Unfortunately, I'm not very interested," Leo replied.Mr. Holland asked, "So you're going to cancel it?"Leo nodded his head. "Of course, I'm already working with Mr. Hendrick, Mr. Walter's business rival.""You're really good at playing the people who underestimate you. You don't have to accept Mr. Walter's offer, Leo.""I know he's only using me for his own benefit, Father. I've been with him for years. He won't be happy if someone is more successful than him."Before Mr. Holland could answer Leo, Hans suddenly appeared. Hans gave Leo a reprimand."Mr. Leo, there is someone who wants to see you now. He has something urgent to tell you," Hans said.Leo frowned. "Who?""Mr. Walter."***"You betrayed the promise you made to me, Leo."Leo frowned after hearing Mr. Walter's words. He had just stood in front of Mr. Walter who was in the VVIP lobby."What did you say
