Chapter 216


    Upon seeing the trending topic, Isabe couldn’t hide her joy. Excitedly, she said, “Leo, it looks like the


    public is wise after all. Even Ben can’t suppress the truth.”


    “That’s right,” Leo said, his eyes shining as he looked at Isabe. “Isabe! How did you know Susan


    would copy your work?*


    Isabe had her exnation ready and said with a smile, “I personally wrote the script for our game, a


    true masterpiece. I bribed someone on Susan’s team to submit the script to her. To my surprise, Susan


    took the bait immediately!”


    Leo couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up, “You truly are a mastermind.”


    Isabe chuckled, “Don’t praise me just yet. We should think about how to use this situation to our


    greatest advantage.”


    A dark glint shed in Leo’s eyes as he coldly said, “Storm Group is a bigpany, and this game is


    currently very popr. Exposing their giarism now will not only tarnish their reputation, but I also


    want them to pay a huge penalty feel”


    Even if their own game wasn’t making money, Leo felt confident that they could earn a fortune just from


    the penalty fee.


    “That makes sense,” Isabe said admiringly. “I’ll leave it to you.”


    *Rest assured,” Leo replied, puffing out his chest. “We have the upper hand. Whatever we demand,


    they’ll have no choice but toply.”


    “Right, Isabe nodded, fully trusting In Leo’s n,


    Leo’s pride was greatly satisfied.


    He took out his phone to call Ben, but after three seconds, he looked bewildered.


    He seemed to have been blocked by Ben..


    “Leo, What’s wrong?” Isabe asked with concern.


    Leo discreetly put away his phone. “I think we should meet Ben and Susan in person! I want to see


    their defeated expressions myself“.


    “Sounds good,” Isabe agreed with a smile.


    She too was eager to see Susan’s face of despair.

    The couple decided to go to Storm Group to confront them..


    Leo had been worried that Ben wouldn’t see him, but to his surprise, as soon as he spoke to the


    receptionist, he was told that Ben had already arranged for them to meet at a café near the entrance.


    “Oh? Ben arranged this?” Leo raised an eyebrow.


    “Yes,” the receptionist confirmed with a smile.


    Leo immediately smiled, “Looks like he knows he’s in trouble.”


    He confidently took Isabe’s hand. “Let’s go wait for them. This time, I’m going to make sure he pays


    dearly.”


    Isabe also thought Ben wasing to negotiate and smiled in agreement.


    Leo and Isabe happily headed to the café to wait.


    Soon, Ben and Susan arrived.


    Eager to see their panicked faces, Leo turned to look at them.


    But to his surprise, Ben and Susan seemed rxed, chatting andughing without a hint of worry.


    Leo frowned, confused by their demeanor.


    Isabe whispered, “They must be pretending to be calm.”


    Leo nodded, agreeing with her spection.


    “Mr. and Mrs. Landor,” Leo said sarcastically, “I’m surprised such busy people like yourselves have time


    to meet us.”


    “Sit down, Susan,” Ben said, pulling a chair for Susan. He casually ordered two cappinos and a


    freshly baked soufflé from the waiter.


    The waiter left to fulfill the order.


    Throughout this, Ben hadn’t given Leo a single nce, which darkened Leo’s mood.


    In the past, Ben ignoring him would have been expected, given Ben’s status.


    But now?


    Ben was the one in trouble, yet he still dared to treat him this way?


    Leo couldn’t help but scoff, “Cappino? That’s not real coffee, is it? Just sugar and milk. Mr. Landor, I


    remember you only drank ck coffee before. Has your taste been lowered so much since getting


    married?”

    Finally, Ben looked at him. Leo straightened his back, appearing proud and aloof.


    Ben raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, “What would you like to drink today? It’s on me.”


    Leo let out a coldugh.


    Leo thought that Ben was now trying to appease him, but it was toote for that.


    Ben continued calmly, “After all, by the end of today, you might not even be able to afford coffee.”


    Leo was shocked.


    He was incredulous, staring at Ben.


    Had he heard wrong?


    Wasn’t Ben supposed to be here to plead with him?


    How could he still be so arrogant?


    Unable to hold back, Isabe spoke up, “Mr. Landor, you’ve seen today’s trending topic, haven’t you?”


    Ben nodded, “It’s quite interesting,” then turned to Susan, “What do you think, Susan?”


    Susan just smiled, “Indeed, quite interesting.”


    They both seemedpletely unperturbed by the situation.


    Arrogance to the extreme!


    Leo was furious.


    He mmed his hand on the table, “Ben, stop pretending. Let’s get straight to the point. Your game


    giarized ours! Now, I demandpensation of twenty million dors… no, sixty million dors!


    Otherwise, this matter won’t


    end here.”


    Ben looked at Leo curiously, “What do you mean by ‘won’t end here?”


    “I’ll sue you, ruin your reputation!” Leo’s expression was sinister. “You should know, apany’s


    reputation is worth more than gold. If this goes to court, your losses, both overt and covert, might


    exceed sixty million dors! I’m only offering this discount because of our past brotherhood.”


    “You give me sixty million dors, and I can help you resolve this giarism issue. Otherwise…”


    Leo smirked coldly.


    Ben remained calm, “You should know that Susan’s game didn’t actually giarize anything.”

    Leo justughed, “I don’t care whether you giarized or not. As long as everyone believes you did,


    you’re guilty.”


    Ben gave Leo a meaningful look, “You’re set on sixty million dors, no less?”


    “Absolutely not a penny less,” Leo said firmly.


    Sixty million dors was nothingpared to Storm Group’s reputation.


    He was confident Ben would make the right decision.


    Ben narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “I understand.”


    He called the waiter, had the coffee and cake packed to take away, and said, “Put today’s bill on my


    ount.”


    After that, he nced at Leo, “Goodbye.”


    Then, Ben and Susan left without looking back.


    Leo was speechless.


    Isabe was also speechless.


    They were bothpletely baffled about Ben’s intentions that day.


    Isabe ventured, “Leo, maybe he was trying to appease us!”


    Leo snorted coldly, “What good is that? Without the sixty million dors, I’m not letting this go.”


    He spoke with absolute certainty and an air of triumph.


    Isabe nodded, already calcting in her mind how they would spend the sixty million dors.


    On their way out, Susan looked up at Ben, “Why did you insist on meeting them today?”


    Ben gently ruffled her hair. “It was an unnecessary gesture on my part.”


    He hadn’t needed toe today, but somethingpelled him to do so.


    He simply wanted to see how far Leo would go.


    Now he knew.


    Leo hadpletely lost his mind.


    In light of this, Ben knew there was no need to hold back in his counterattack.


    It was just unfortunate that his grandfather would likely be distressed by the whole affair.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
