The announcement ofLenawas such a dramatic rise and fall for the group of Reba.


    As for Caroline, Reba andPatricia, they were all dumbfounded and couldn’t believe that Vesper Corporationwould ever chose to terminate the cooperation between the twopanies.


    The cooperation, whichgenerateda huge profit forthe Ford Group, was something that theycapturedtwo days ago back inthe Ford family. If the business ties between the twopanies were really to be cut, there would be no chance for them to gain profit anymore.


    “No, I shall neveragree with that!” With her face turnedlividdue to anger, Reba shuddered and shouted, “Who decided that?Who was that stupid ignorant fool daring to cancel the cooperation between Vesper Corporation andthe Ford Group?”


    Herwrathful voice resounded in the meeting room. Nearly each of the members of the board knew that the maincontributorof the sess of the cooperation between Vesper Corporation andthe Ford Group. However, just three days after its triumph, someone put an end to it, whichReba could never tolerate.


    “How dare you, William? How dare you ever turn your back on your own father-inw!” Looking at William with anger, she growled.


    From the moment she knew that the new chairman was William, she had not been afraid of him at all.


    With a sullen look on his face, Williamwas about to say something. However, at the next moment,, the door of the meeting room was pushed open again, and there was a stentorian voice sounded, “I’m the one who cancel the cooperation!’


    In a sudden, everyone around turned to the doorway – a man was standing there. With a crew cut and extraordinary temperament, the man casted a glimpse at Reba, and then walked up to the tform.


    “Mr. Darcey?’N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    As everyone discerned the face of the man, they were all stunned, and Reba, the most arrogant and pushy among them, was shocked after she saw clearly the man’s face.


    “I thought … I thought you had confessed yourself to the police. How did you get out?” Shequestionedindisbelief.


    Without saying anything in response, Darcey only nced at her indifferently.


    Leo, with a faint smile on his face, was standing in the corner. Given that Darceyagreed to expose the truth of 316 Event, there would be no point for Leo toevertreathim shabbily.


    Indeed, he was the one who contrived the details of the whole n, but Thomas and Peter were the ones who put it intopractice. Therefore, merely a day after, he was then released by the police.


    Darcey nodded toWilliam, and then turned toLena, “Lena, please tell them the rest of the two things.”


    Lenanodded, looked at those confused board members and said, “In fact, Mr.Darcy is exactly the vice-chairman selected by Mr. Ford, and he is the one who decided to cut the whole cooperation between ourpany withthe Ford Group.”


    “What?”


    Hearing that, all people around, including Reba, Caroline and the rest members of the Ford family, were all dumbfounded, gawking at Darceystanding on the stage.


    They thought there were still chances for them topete for the position of vice-chairman, but they had never expected that it was already cut and dried.


    “This is the end of today’s meeting. Now, I dere the meeting closed.” AsLenaannounced the end of the meeting, he then led Williamand Darceyto the chairman’s office, leaving the group of Rebabehind staring nkly with a dull look on their faces.


    There was no doubt that the meeting was a huge shock to them, and the whole Ford family would not be William’s troubleanymore in the next few days.


    Deciding to put his hand away from the business of Vesper Corporation, Leo turned on his heel and left the room.


    As the elevator ascended, Leo was originally heading to the top floor of the International Commerce Center. However, his inward peace was interrupted when he saw the button of floor 88.


    Somehow, he changed his idea and pressed the button of floor 88.


    The elevator door opened, and Leosoon led himself to the location of the CEO’s office deftly.


    Nerving himself, heknocked at the door.


    “Pleasee in.” A cid andmanding voice was heard from inside.


    Pushing the door and stepping inside the office, Leocaught sight of a beauty who was working intently. With a gentle look in his eyes, he said, “Lydia.”


    “Leo? Why are you here?” Lydia was surprised by the presence of Leo, and asked, “It’s still working hours at present. Why did youe to see me? Don’t you go to work?”


    “My work is somehow, you know, special, and thus I can spare some extra time to visit you.”Leoughed.


    Lydia put down the pen in her hand and looked at him seriously, “Are you going to tell me your upation or not?”


    With his brows knitted, Leocould tell that his equivocal answer had aroused Lydia’ssuspicion.


    No matter it was the meeting with Benedictor thesess of L group in winning the contract of the urban construction project, it seemed that Leohad his hands in both events, which meant that Leocould be by no means an ordinary person.


    “Listen, we are a couple, aren’t we? And I believe there shall be no secrets between a couple.” Said Lydia with a serious look on her face.”


    “Fine, fine! I give up!” Surrendering to his wife’s intransigence, Leoconfessed helplessly, ‘I’m the owner ofInternational Commerce Center, which means that the whole building is my belonging.”


    Hearing that, although shethoughtthat she was already mentally prepared for any possible answer, she was still astonished by the answer ofher husband, and her delicate countenance was distorted by surprise and shock.


    “You said you were the owner of here?”


    “Yes.”Said Leo, “I purchased the whole building when I first heard that you were working here, because I don’t want you tosufferfrominjustice and grievance anymore. You are the queen of the International Commerce Center.”


    With her incredible eyes fixed on Leo, Lydiacovered her lips with hands out of astonishment.


    Now, everything was clear for her – since Leowas the owner ofInternational Commerce Center,L groupwas destined to be in charge of the project; since Leowas the owner ofInternational Commerce Center, the huge debt owed by Cleo Entertainmentwas able to be resumed.


    Everything was beyond her expectations, but was still within understanding.


    “I guess you are also the one behind the events ofJulton Pharmaceutd Vesper Corporation, am I right?” Asked Lydia.


    Looking at Lydia withposure, Leo nodded, “Everything that I have is yours.”


    With ashadowof uneasiness on her face, Lydialooked away and asked, “Is there anythingelseyou are hiding from me?”


    “Yes, there are so many things that I have not told you.”


    In silence, Lydia was a little surprised by his answer, since she had not expected that he would ever admit it so easily.


    “Although there are still many things about me that you don’t know yet, I swear I will tell you everything when the time is ripe.” Leolooked at Lydia sincerely, and said in a deep tone, “I wish you could wait until the time.”


    Knowing that Leomight have his own difficulties, Lydianodded understandingly, “Fine, I can wait.”


    Then, with her head down, she again immersed herself in her work.


    Without disturbing her from her work, Leomerely looked at her with tender eyes.


    For Leo, Lydia, who gave birth to a little pretty girl for him and was willing to undergo five years lonely life as a grass widow without him by her side, was the best woman he could ever find in this world.


    He had promised to himself that no matter what kind of hardship was waiting ahead, he was willing to sacrifice everything that he had in order to keep being together with her.


    Working for a while, Lydiastopped soon.


    Somehow, she felt it hard to focus on her business when Leowas staying beside her.


    Thus, she chose to leave her works behind, looked at Leoand said, “It seems that the three of our family have never been out there for dinner.”


    Pondering for a second, Leothen nodded, “Indeed.”


    “We shall going out for dinner tonight. Any ideas about what to eat? My treat, of course.”


    “Everything will be fine, as long as I have you by my side.” Leo answered with ecstasy.


    Lydiaoffered a thin smile, and, for the first time, came off work earlier than ever.


    The couple then went to pick their daughter Emiliaup from school. The little girl was exhrated when she heard that the whole family was going out for dinner.


    “I want ice cream, I want fried fried drumsticks, I want steak, and I wantmb chop! Thereare so many yummy things that I want, daddy!” Said Emilia excitedly.


    “You can have anything, my sweetheart.” Leoheld her Emilia lovingly.


    Seeing that her husband and her daughter were getting along well with each other, Lydiasmiled with tenderness.


    The three had their dinner in an upscale western restaurant, and Leoordered each of the dishes that Emiliawanted.


    In such a harmonious atmosphere, Lydia had ordered some wine, andherwhite face was flushed under the influence of alcohol.


    It was at this moment that her phone rang.


    “Hello?” She picked up the phone and put through the call.


    At the next moment, her face turned pale and her tone became fierceandsharp as she heard the voice of the caller.


    “I want him to die.” Said Lydia.
