Chapter 137 Exposure of the Secret


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


    As for Caroline, Reba and Patricia, they were all dumbfounded and couldn''t believe that Vesper


    Corporation would ever chose to terminate the cooperation between the twopanies.


    The cooperation, which generated a huge profit for the Ford Group, was something that


    they captured two days ago back in the 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 never agree with that!" With her face turned livid due to anger, Reba shuddered and


    shouted, "Who decided that? Who was that stupid ignorant fool daring to cancel the cooperation


    between Vesper Corporation and the Ford Group?"


    Her wrathful voice resounded in the meeting room. Nearly each of the members of the board knew that


    the main contributor of the sess of the cooperation between Vesper Corporation and the Ford


    Group. However, just three days after its triumph, someone put an end to it, which Reba 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, William was 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?''


    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?"


    She questioned in disbelief.


    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 Darcey agreed to expose the


    truth of 316 Event, there would be no point for Leo to ever treat him shabbily.


    Indeed, he was the one who contrived the details of the whole n, but Thomas and Peter were the


    ones who put it into practice. Therefore, merely a day after, he was then released by the police.


    Darcey nodded to William, and then turned to Lena, "Lena, please tell them the rest of the two things."


    Lena nodded, 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 with the Ford Group."


    "What?"


    Hearing that, all people around, including Reba, Caroline and the rest members of the Ford family,


    were all dumbfounded, gawking at Darcey standing 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.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    "This is the end of today''s meeting. Now, I dere the meeting closed." As Lena announced the end of


    the meeting, he then led William and Darcey to the chairman''s office, leaving the group of


    Reba behind 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 trouble anymore 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 Leo soon led himself to the location of the CEO''s office deftly.


    Nerving himself, he knocked at the door.


    "Pleasee in." A cid andmanding voice was heard from inside.


    Pushing the door and stepping inside the office, Leo caught 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." Leo


    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, Leo could tell that his equivocal answer had aroused Lydia''s suspicion.


    No matter it was the meeting with Benedict or the sess of L group in winning the contract of the


    urban construction project, it seemed that Leo had his hands in both events, which meant that


    Leo could 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, Leo confessed helplessly, ‘I''m the owner


    of International Commerce Center, which means that the whole building is my belonging."


    Hearing that, although she thought that she was already mentally prepared for any possible answer,


    she was still astonished by the answer of her 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 to suffer from injustice and grievance anymore. You are the queen of the


    International Commerce Center."


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


    Now, everything was clear for her — since Leo was the owner of International Commerce Center, L


    group was destined to be in charge of the project; since Leo was the owner of International Commerce


    Center, the huge debt owed by Cleo Entertainment was able to be resumed.


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


    "I guess you are also the one behind the events of Julton Pharmaceutical and Vesper Corporation, am I


    right?" Asked Lydia.


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


    With a shadow of uneasiness on her face, Lydia looked away and asked, "Is there anything else you


    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." Leo looked at Lydia sincerely, and said in a deep tone, "I wish you could wait


    until the time."


    Knowing that Leo might have his own difficulties, Lydia nodded understandingly, "Fine, I can wait."


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


    Without disturbing her from her work, Leo merely 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, Lydia stopped soon.


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


    Thus, she chose to leave her works behind, looked at Leo and said, "It seems that the three of our


    family have never been out there for dinner."


    Pondering for a second, Leo then 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.


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


    The couple then went to pick their daughter Emilia up 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! There are so many


    yummy things that I want, daddy!" Said Emilia excitedly.


    "You can have anything, my sweetheart." Leo held her Emilia lovingly.


    Seeing that her husband and her daughter were getting along well with each other, Lydia smiled with


    tenderness.


    The three had their dinner in an upscale western restaurant, and Leo ordered each of the dishes that


    Emilia wanted.


    In such a harmonious atmosphere, Lydia had ordered some wine, and her white 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 fierce and sharp as she heard the voice


    of the caller.


    "I want him to die." Said Lydia.
