Keely lowered her head, not daring to admit or deny it. This temporary lie of hers was clumsy and full of


    Loopholes. She was scared that the more she talked, the more mistakes she would make.


    When she said nothing, Leopold continued, “Loraine has gone too far!


    She not only took away the man you loved while you were undergoing treatment, she also stole the


    results of your painstaking efforts! Such a woman is really envious and narrow-minded. No wonder she


    has constantly been against you!”


    Seeing how passionate he was, Keely replied in a weak tone, “I’m used to such a treatment from her.


    It’s nothing new. Don’t bother yourself too much about it.”

    “Don’t be scared, Keely,” Leopold assured her. “You are my student now.


    I’LL never allow Loraine to pick on you ever again!”


    He’d hardly finished the statement when the hotel receptionist called the phone in the room. Leopold


    picked up the phone and answered it.


    “Professor Zizka, Mr. Moore is here to see you,” the receptionist said.


    Leopold wondered why Klein wasing to him at such a time.


    Due to how much Klein protected Loraine, Leopold’s impression of him was not savory. But since Klein


    was a member of the government, he had no choice but to agree to meet him.


    Meanwhile, Klein kept ncing at his watch from time to time as he sat impatiently at the restaurant of


    the hotel.


    He had never expected that the public opinion would take such a turn.


    If Loraine and Leopold didn’t get along, it would not be helpful to the airport project.

    That was why he came to Leopold today in the hope that he could get him to reconcile with Loraine.


    Soon, Leopold appeared and Klein greeted him with a smile. After exchanging pleasantries, he finally


    told him why he hade.


    “Professor Zizka, I’d Like to make it clear to you again that Loraine is certainly not that kind of person,


    but I know you won’t listen. I came here specifically to tell you the pros and cons of the whole thing,


    hoping that you’ll be able to weigh them and make your decisions. The White Cloud Airport project is


    being jointly developed by Universe Group and Bryant Group. If things go on Like this, how would this


    project continue? We both know that if Universe Group and


    Bryant Group decide not to invest in it anymore, your project will not be able to proceed,” Klein pointed


    out, using the usual lobbying tactics that politicians loved to employ.


    “What’s that supposed to mean? Are you threatening me?” Leopold growled angrily.


    Seeing how livid Leopold was, Klein poured him a ss of water and smile apologetically.


    “Look, Professor, Loraine has already released the original drafts to prove that she didn’t giarize


    anyone’s work, which means that this whole thing is a big misunderstanding. So, you need to put aside


    your prejudices and reconcile with Loraine. And everyone will be happy!”


    Klein thought this would be enough to convince Leopold, but to his surprise, the opposite was the


    result.


    “Mr. Moore, there’s nothing I hate more than being bullied by people with political power!” Leopold


    retorted angrily, “Let me make it very clear to you that as long as Loraine remains there, I‘11 never


    partner with Universe Group! And as for the investment, the Bryant Group will help out, won’t it?”


    Klein was taken aback by this straightforward rejection.
