Leo pondered for a while. Then he agreed to pick this name for their company crisply.
As the matter was resolved, those present left then. But Millie and Lenny did not leave. Leo narrowed his eyes, “Is there anything else?”
Millie commanded her men to leave first. Then she glanced at Lenny and motioned for Lenny to speak first.
Lenny did not refuse. Anyway, what he wanted to talk about was not a shameful thing.
He smiled and said, “Mr. Cohen, do you still remember the ‘Martial Arts Tournament’ I told you before?”
Leo nodded.
Lenny immediately took out a red invitation, “It will start in a few days. This is the invitation.”
Leo glanced at it and immediately smiled thinly, “Is it your intention, or the president of the Martial Arts Association’s?”
“Mr. Cohen, it is the president’s.”
Lenny answered cautiously because it was a like defiant message rather than an invitation letter.
“Although the Martial Arts Association respects the strong, after all, Mr. Cohen, you are not a member of our association. You have hit masters in our association one after another. It made our president furious.”
“However, the president did not intend to solve it in private. He wanted to put it on the stage. He threatened to defeat Mr. Cohen at the Martial Arts Tournament!”
After glancing over the invitation for a while, Leo smiled arrogantly.
“Go back and tell your president, I will participate in the Martial Arts Tournament. But I would like to talk about the worst situation at first. Even if the entire members of the Martial Arts Association join forces, for me, you are still vulnerable.”
As soon as these words came out, Millie on the side immediately widened her eyes. Leo even dismissed the challenge from the president of the Martial Arts Association…
“This man…”
“He is so handsome!”
Millie stared straight at Leo. Nobody knew what she thought about, her face flushed all of a sudden.
Lenny’s eyes squinted, but he didn’t say much. He just bowed hard, “I will report to my superior truthfully!”
Leo looked at Millie, “How about you?”
At this moment, only Leo and Millie were left there. Millie’s expression suddenly became solemn, “What I’m going to say next is very important. Mr. Cohen, please keep it secret.”
After receiving Leo’s assurance, Millie lowered her voice and whispered a sentence.
“Frank went to the hospital to have a check-up. The report showed he has developed advanced gastric cancer!”
“Advanced gastric cancer?”
Sure enough, after hearing the news, Leo’s eyes became serious.
Millie had a bit of loneliness in her eyes, “His attending physician told him his lifespan was only two months from then on. He will clear the obstacles and pave the way for me. That’s his style.”
Leo’s eyes darkened. The underground world of Emerdale would be in chaos…
He could fully understand how influential Millie’s words were.
Frank had advanced gastric cancer and was going to die in two months. During this time, he would pave the way for Millie. He would remove all domestic enemies and defeated the Spencer family in one fell swoop.
That was to say, in the next two months, the Perry family and the Spencer family would start a full-scale war. Besides, there would also be a major purge within the Perry family.
“How can I help you?”
He gave Millie a deep look.
Even if Millie asked Leo to help, it was Millie’s own choice.
The balanced relationship between the Perry family and the Spencer family had become fragmented after Frank was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. When two strong forces are in conflict, one must be defeated.
Moreover, although she was the next heir to the Perry family, she was just a daughter. Therefore, many illegitimate sons of Frank were discontented. They would strike first.
She needed to make a choice between her father whom she hated and her brother whom she respected. It seemed that it was easy to make the choice, but was that the case?
Millie’s eyes were a little blank, “I don’t know…”
“Then come to me when you think over about it.”
Leo glanced at her indifferently, then he took a taxi and left.
In the rearview mirror of the car, he saw Millie squatting on the ground in despair. He sighed softly.
He could help Millie rise to power, but he had no right to decide the life and death of her relatives.
Jingle bell—-
At this moment, Leo received a call from William.
“Leo, go home with Ms. Henderson for dinner tomorrow. Don’t forget to bring your daughter. I haven’t hugged my granddaughter yet.”
Leo nodded happily, “Got it, dad.”
After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on his face. Indeed, he had not brought Lydia and Emilia to Ford’s house yet.
When he got home and told Lydia and Emilia about this, Lydia seemed a little hesitant and remained silent.
Emilia clapped her hands happily, “Yeah, grandpa, I want to see grandpa!”
“Look, Emilia agreed.”
Leo smiled and said, “The ugly daughter-in-law will have to see her parents-in-law in the end.”
This sentence instantly stimulated Lydia. She raised her head and glared at Leo, “Who are you calling ugly!”
Leo was defeated again and again, “I’m ugly. I’m ugly.”
“Now you’re right. I forgive you.”
Until then, Lydia let Leo go. After hesitating for a while, she agreed, “Okay.”
Leo could understand Lydia’s anxiety. He smiled to comfort her, “Don’t worry. While you are afraid of them, they are also afraid of you. The only person that we need to pay attention to is Rebecca…”
Caroline had changed dramatically. They only needed to change Rebecca’s mind.
In the past, Lydia was the person who decided the life and deaths of the Ford family. It made Rebecca suffer a lot. But now Lydia had become the daughter-in-law of the Ford family. Rebecca did not want to lose such a good opportunity for revenge.
Lydia shook her head, “You misunderstood. I’m not worried about that. I’m just worried about whether they will like me or not.”
“I don’t like to talk and I’m not good at caring about people. After I get acquainted with you, I tried to change my character. But I couldn’t change it—-I was born with this temper…”
If there was a warm person and a taciturn one, ordinary people would like to make friends with the former. Lydia knew her character and people’s preference well.
However, before she could finish her words, a broad and powerful arm gently embraced her.
Lydia’s eyes widened instantly and she was unable to speak.
“I know what you are worried about. You don’t have to change yourself.”
Leo’s eyes were gentle. He smiled from the heart, “What made me fall in love with you at the beginning was your cold blank mask. During the five years as a soldier, I often thought about how a person with a cold temperament could save a stranger that she didn’t know with what she valued most. What a virtuous heart that she has!”
Hearing that, Lydia immediately widened her eyes and looked at Leo in disbelief.
“I was gradually attracted by you, so you don’t have to change. You are the best.”
“Leo—-”
Lydia was moved. She took the initiative to approach Leo. She closed her eyes lightly and opened her red lips slightly.
Leo was about to kiss her too.
“Giggles—”
“Kissing, Mom and Dad are kissing!”
There was an untimely laugh at the scene.
Emilia was covering her eyes. She looked at Leo and Lydia who were about to kiss with great curiosity through the gaps between her fingers, giggling.
Lydia immediately reflexively pushed Leo away. She glared at him with shame and anger and went upstairs.
Leo permitted himself a wry smile. He came to Emilia’s side and touched her hair, “You little girl! You’re doing bad things for your father again.”
Emilia was still covering her eyes. She got into Leo’s arms and giggled.
It was late at night, but the Lawson Group Building was still brightly lit up.
Kate sat with her legs crossed gracefully, opposite a handsome and unruly man.
There was a disapproving look on the man’s face, “Kate, I want you to knock my sister down, but you help her become stronger.”
“I know.”
Kate’s expression was indifferent. She didn’t take his words to heart at all.
“Look at what you’ve done. You work on the urban construction project with her together. Don’t you act in a diametrically opposite way?”
“It’s included in my plan.”
Kate picked up the ceramic cup and took a sip of coffee. The night was long and she still had a lot of work to do.
Terry’s eyes widened, “This is also included in your plan. What exactly is your plan?”
Kate glanced at him with some contempt and said indifferently, “Lydia is not as simple as you thought. Do you think that she will return to Valenham in despair if you humble the L Group?”
“You’re wrong! It will only evoke her fighting will more to rally for a second comeback victory!”
Terry frowned suddenly, “Then what should I do?”
“A single strike is not enough. Only a double strike, or even a triple strike, can break her spirit.”
Kate’s eyes were calm, like a pool of stagnant water, “So I made my own decision and found another partner.”
After speaking, she clapped her hands, “Come in.”
The door opened and a handsome young man with a folding fan walked in. It was Jaxon from the Hamilton family!
He sat down next to Kate calmly and looked at Terry with a smile, “To make a woman collapse is nothing more than three ways-make her career hit the bottom, let her lover betrays her, and subvert her dignity!”
“Let the three points take turns to strike her. No matter who she is, all her ambitions will be blasted!”
“I have been collecting information these days and found a very interesting thing…”
Jaxon’s eyes fell on Terry’s face. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
