Supreme Mars

Chapter 268 Life Planning

Seeing that his speculation had been proven right, Leo held his phone with his eyes squinted.

Alan was from the Watts family, just as Leo had expected.

There were two reasons.

First, they shared the same family name, but that was a very common name; therefore, the main

reason was the second one.

The four prestigious families had all attended Caroline and Benedict's wedding. Alan didn't turn down

the Grant family and the Palmer family; instead, he ignored the Watts family, which confused Leo.

Don't embarrass the person who showed you kindness. This worked for all officials and businessmen.

As the richest man in Emerdale, Alan should’ve known the rule better than anyone else.

However, out of all the wealthy families, he ignored the Watts family and offended them.

There was only one reason behind that... Alan and the Watts family were already holding hostility

against each other. He didn't even bother to pretend to show basic respect.

"Boss, why do you suddenly care so much about my family?"

Alan was shocked on the other side of the phone.

"It's nothing... we have a project now, which may need you to go back to Hopkins Metropolis."

Leo grinned a thin smile, "Get yourself mentally prepared because you'll live in Hopkins Metropolis for

quite a long time in the future."

Alan was startled upon hearing it because he thought Leo was exiling him.

He was the richest man in Emerdale, not in Hopkins Metropolis. He wondered why Leo wanted him in

Hopkins Metropolis. He couldn't think of any other reason except for being exiled.

However, what Leo said next completely dispelled his doubts.

"Just now, Marcus gave away all the properties of his family, which included his family's cash cow, the J

Group. However, the headquarter of the J Group is in Hopkins Metropolis, and it was not controlled by

the Wilson family. I appoint you as the new president of the J Group now. You can go take over the

whole group right away."

"The Watts family from Hopkins Metropolis is currently controlling the headquarter now. If they try to

stop you, just expel them. If they take coercive measures, you can ask Forrest Barker for help and kill

them all!"

Leo sounded arrogant when he said that, as if he couldn't care less about the Watts family. Alan also

got wound upon hearing that.

Alan realized that Leo wasn't exiling him, but putting him in a critical position.

The Watts family was very formidable, but it had destroyed Alan's own family. Leo was giving him the

opportunity to go back at them!

"Thank you, Boss. I'm going to pack my things now and head to Hopkins Metropolis." Alan said

excitedly.

"That's great. I'll send you the appointment document of the chairman of the J Group right away."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Leo got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Lost in

thoughts, he stared at the panoramic view of the whole Emerdale city.

Sallton and Winham were all in his control now. He didn't fear the loyal families in Valenham at all.

Leo was never afraid of them; on the contrary, it was they who should be afraid and tremble before

Leo.

Not long after Alan hung up the phone, Lydia hurried into the office.

"Lydia, why are you here?"

Leo looked a bit surprised. Lydia was supposed to be busy at this time of the day. He wondered why he

had the time to come to him.

The International Commerce Center staff only knew that Leo and Lydia were a couple rather than that

Leo was the building owner. So they didn't suspect it at all.

"The financial department just told me that billions of dollars just flowed into my company's account.

Did you do that?"

Lydia asked her, her eyes widely opened.

Leo nodded. "Yes, what's wrong with it?"

"I knew it!"

Lydia sat in front of Leo and asked, "Where do you get that much money? I almost called the police!"

Leo felt a bit awkward, but he understood that anyone who saw so much money being added to his

account would call the police immediately. But in fact, the money is completely legal. It was transferred

in by Marcus.

"Just use it to help the company go public."

He said with a smile, "The L Group hasn't gone public yet. Once it does, its market value will increase

at least ten times."

Knowing that there was nothing wrong with the money, Lydia felt relieved. She pondered for a long

while and said, "But I don't want to go public yet."

"Why?"

Leo was confused. Ordinary companies didn't even have the opportunity to go public, while Lydia

rejected it.

"I know you're doing this for me, but have you ever thought about it? You can raise money easier after

you're listed. This is the era of capital, more money means you can be more competitive, but it also has

disadvantages."

Lydia looked serious, "Being listed means there will be capital flowing in and diluting my stock options.

My current position is not stable yet, so that will do no good to me."

Leo looked at Lydia in surprise because he had never thought of that.

"One more thing, I want you to be the Vice President of the L Group."

Lydia suddenly said to Leo.

Leo thought about it for a while, and then agreed. It was his wife's company, and he should care more

about it.

"I'm afraid some people in your company won't accept me easily." Leo smiled and said.

"They wouldn't dare."

A cold look flashed in Lydia's eyes; then, his face quickly returned to normal. Eyes on Leo, she said

slowly, "I want you to be the vice president not because you're my husband. I want that because I want

to retire when I was 35 and be a housewife."

"Retire at 35?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Leo was stunned. "That's early."

Thirty-five years old was supposed to be the golden time of a strong woman's career.

"That's the life plan I made last night."

With a happy smile on her face, Lydia said, "Do you remember? You said I had to support our family

when you were absent before. Now that you're back, I can count on you again."

"I made you the vice president of the L Group to prepare you for taking over my work after my

retirement. I'll send the whole group to you as our wedding present."

"When I turned 35, I'll be a housewife. Let's take care of each other for the rest of our lives."

With a warm smile, Lydia reached out a hand to Leo.

Leo was deeply touched and felt warmth flowing in his heart. He grabbed Lydia's hand tightly.

Her hands were in his, and they swore to love each other until they were dead.

"Lydia, I love you."

As night fell, Lydia went to pick up Emilia at school while Leo drove to the Cleo Hotel.

It was a five-star hotel owned by the O'Brien family.

Neil was holding a banquet here tonight to celebrate the successful cooperation between Cleo

Entertainment and the L Group.

Only Leo himself knew that the banquet was an ambush.

Ronnie has already told Leo everything.

He stood outside of the hotel, looking at the plaque of the Cleo Hotel with cold eyes.

"The O'Brien family... I hope you won't be stupid."

Otherwise, Leo wouldn't mind erasing the O'Brien family from Emerdale.

"Mr. Cohen."

Just by then, a surprised and gentle exclaim came from behind him.

Irene came quickly to Leo, looking thrilled.

"Miss Garcia?"

Leo greeted her politely. He wasn't surprised at Irene's presence.

Irene will attend the banquet on behalf of the L Group. She had changed into a long solemn dress and

put on light makeup just for tonight. She was tall and slender. Few women on this banquet could

outshine her.

However, the smile on her face only lasted for a short moment. Then she started to keep a distance

from him and avoid eye contact.

"Mr. Cohen, I heard the news about you and Miss Henderson..."

She took out a thick red envelope from her bag, handed it over, and congratulated Leo with a forced

smile, "Wish you a happy wedding!"
