Chapter 127 One Step Back Today for Two steps Forward Tomorrow
Bang....
William was stunned as though he encountered with a bolt from the sky. He looked at Reba,
Caroline and Samuel with dull eyes. His voice trembled badly, “Reba, is what he said... true?”
“Did you really sell the Virgil Corporation to Peter?”
Reba looked indifferent. She curled her lips, and showed some disapproving.
“What else can I do? Mr. Lawson has already transferred the shares of the Vesper Corporation to us.
Now, we are all shareholders holding shares.”
When Reba said this, her words were full of pride.
Caroline, Patricia, Samuel and others did not have any guilty look on their faces.
In fact, this result was better for them, with a sense of revenge.
Virgil Corporation was more like other people’s property. It earned 10% of the shares of the Vesper
Corporation in exchange for other people’s property!
As for William’s future career, who would care?
“This is the onlypany under the Ford family’s name. How can you sell it?” William’s face was livid
and he roared angrily at Reba.
“You’re dying! How you dare yelling at me!”
Reba was startled and then became angry, “How can the Virgil Corporation develop under your
name? Mr. Lawson has lots of money and broad contacts. Mr. Lawson will be able to do much better in
the same project.”
“But now thepany is on the right track….”
"So what?"
Reba impatiently interrupted him, “Can you always be lucky? Relying on this loser, you want to
revitalize the Ford family. What a dream!”
Mentioning that, Reba took a cold look at Leo.
Patricia also sneered. Leo was just a gigolo son-inw who wanted to surpass the Ford family. That
was absolutely not allowed.
Reba’s words seemed to empty William’s whole body. With a puff, he sat back in his chair
powerlessly. His eyes were red and full of grief.
Leo saw that in his eyes and his heart was full of murderous thoughts.
Only the betrayal of the closest person couldpletely defeat a person. He did not expect that the
people in this family were so selfish and ruthless.
“That’s enough!”
Peter roared, nced at the audience and said coldly, “I’m not here to hear your family quarreling! Sign
the contract for me and get out!”
Then he put the contract in front of William.
However, William was still immersed in the sadness and anger of his wife’s betrayal.
Peter immediately looked at Reba and Caroline, “You two, the wife and the daughter, please
persuade him to sign his name. Mr. Reyes and I are still waiting.”
Thomas also urged, “Mr. Lawson and I are very busy. We still have a lot of business to deal with. We
don’t have much time to stay here with you!”
After Reba signed the transfer agreement, Peter immediately called Thomas to divide the Virgil
Corporation together.
ording to Peter’s character, he would never share interests with Thomas, but now it’s different.
Today he got the news that Thomas’ position in the Kingston Chamber of Commerce has just been
promoted from a junior member to an intermediate member.
Peter immediately called Thomas and sent the cake of the Virgil Corporation to Thomas to taste it. He
hoped that Thomas would be more convenient in the future.
Thomas also readily epted, and they came to the Virgil Corporation together.
Reba and Caroline looked at each other, nodded to each other, and then came to William from left
to right to persuade him.
“William, we also care for this family. The Virgil Corporation is of no value. How can it be valuable when
don’t go to work and stay at home every day.”
“Yes, dad, you’ve worked for this family for most of your life. It’s time to have a rest. Let me and mom
take care of the family. We’ll notck of money.”

William showed a touch of fortitude on his face and categorically refused, “I won’t sign my name!”
“Hey, why you didn’t listen to my words?”
Reba was in a hurry, “Mr. Lawson and Mr. Reyes havee in person. What a meaningless
insistence are you making?”
Peter’s eyes also became darken, “If he still doesn’t want to sign, I will regard the cooperation as a
failure and confiscate the 10% shares given to you!”
Reba listened to him, and looked more worried, “No, Mr. Lawson, please give me more time. I make
the final decision for our family. I will let him sign it.”
Then she looked at William and said fiercely, “Sign it soon! Mr. Lawson and Mr. Reyes are waiting!”
“Dad, just sign it.”
Suddenly, Leo said with a smile.
Suddenly, everyone’s eyes were incredibly ced on Leo.
In particr, Caroline and Reba were like seeing ghosts in the daylight. This loser usually worked
against them. Why did he be smart today?
William also looked at Leo in shock, “Leo, why even you persuaded me to sell thepany?”
Leo took a sip of water, smiled and said, “Dad, do you remember what I said to you before?”
Then he pouted his lips at Peter.
William suddenly understood that Leo was talking about letting him take over as the chairman of the
Vesper Corporation.
But what does this rted with selling the Virgil Corporation?
Leo smiled meaningfully and said nothing.
Peter’s acquisition of Virgil Corporation was nothing more than bing a subsidiary of the Vesper
Corporation. When William bes the chairman of the Vesper Corporation, Virgil Corporation would
be still owned by the Ford family.
Unfortunately, no one was aware of that.
“Even the loser advised you to sell it, what are you hesitating about?” Reba urged William
impatiently.
Looking at the calm look of the Leo, William hesitated for a moment and finally agreed, “Well, I’ll sell it!”
Then he signed his name on the contract.
Seeing this scene, Reba could not help looking back at Caroline. A happy look appeared in the
eyes of both the mother and the daughter.
Patricia, Samuel and others were also quietly relieved.
William signed and their shares were kept.
Only Peter fell into meditation and looked at Leo strangely. Unfortunately, he did not figure out anything
and had to put away the contract.
“Then, please.”
He made a gesture of invitation to William.
“Dad, let’s go.”
Leo was indifferent and smiled at William.
Even if William was very unwilling, he could only stand up and leave the Virgil Corporation.
After Leo and William left, Peter asked Reba and Caroline to go back. There were only he and
Thomas in the office.
Thomas asked, “I don’t think Leo is special. How can he manage to let you suffer losses again and
again?”
Peter narrowed his eyes and said, “I think you’d better not underestimate him. Don’t you think he is
weird?”
“Why?”
“Leo always put William’s interests first. Why did he encourage William to sell thepany?”
Thomas was surprised when Peter said this, but he still did not take it seriously, “He is just an ordinary
person without money and power. Now you havepletely controlled the Ford family, and my position
in the Kingston Chamber of Commerce is getting higher and higher. What else to worry about?”
Peter stretched his eyebrows and said with augh, “You are right.”
Out of the Virgil Corporation, William was about to go back to the Ford family, but Leo gave a thin
smile, “We won''t go to the Ford family.”
William was surprised, “If you don’t go to the Ford family, where can you go?”
Leo was silent, just waiting quietly.
Creak….
A ck Rolls Royce stopped in front of Leo.
Leo opened the door and smiled at William, “Dad, get in the car.”
Looking at such a valuable luxury car, William was surprised and speechless.
Before long the confused William sat in, Nadine stepped on the elerator and the car sped in one
direction.
“Where are we going?”
William was still immersed in the shock brought by the luxury car and couldn’t extricate himself.
Leo smiled thinly, “You will know when you arrived.”
Ten minutester, the car stopped under a building called DS.
Different from other buildings where lots of peoplee in and out, the ordinary people were forbidden
to enter here. Even the quality of guards outside is far better than those in other ces.
As soon as Leo took Nadine off the bus, Forrest came out with Justin and n.
Justin’s men took a group of people, and n’s men took another group of people. There were a total
of more than 50 people in formal suits. The two teams lined up, bowed and greeted.
“Wee, boss!”
William looked at the people here with shocked eyes. All of them were great men that could make huge
impact on the city of Emerdale.
William met Justin and n. Before, he just thought that Leo had some friendship with them. Now it
seemed that it was not Leo that bended to them, but they bended to Leo!
“Leo, how powerful you are?” William was shocked and muttered to himself.
