Chapter 255 ying Hard to Get


    Before Leo left, he gave Nadine the order to imprison Marcus in the Valendale Vi. He said they could


    do anything to him as long as he didn''t die.


    Before Leo got in the car, he heard Marcus''s extremely furious screaming out of the vi.


    "No... you can do this to me!"


    Leo smiled lightly and drove away.


    He could imagine the hard times Nadine would give Marcus, given Nadine''s character.


    At the same time, he asked Nadine to tell all the killers who had arrived Emerdale not to act rashly for


    the next two days. So everything seemed peaceful.


    That peace hadsted for three days before somebody noticed it.


    Marcus Wilson was missing.


    He was nowhere to be found as if he had never existed.


    Leo had just dropped Emilia at the kindergarten before receiving a call from Ronnie.


    "Mr. Cohen, Marcus is missing!"


    Ronnie sounded so shocked on the other side of the phone.

    However, Leo smiled calmly and was as peaceful as he ever was. "You haven''t met him for just three


    days. Why are you so sure that he''s missing?"


    "Some people said that thest time they saw him was in a five-star hotel three days ago, and he has


    nevere down since then," Ronnie reported truthfully.


    However, Leo''s tone remained calm. "Even the Wilson family hasn''t responded yet. Why are you


    freaking out?"


    Ronnie took a deep breath, "Mr. Cohen, I just wanted to say that please tell me if you need help from


    the Wilson family!"


    He was professing his loyalty to Leo. Moreover, he thought there was a high chance that Marcus''s


    missing had something to do with Leo.


    "Okay, I''m going off to work."


    Leo hung up the phone and smiled.


    It seems that all forces in Emerdale had noticed Marcus was gone. He was looking forward to seeing


    the reaction of the Wilson family.


    At the same time, in the yard of the Wilson family house.


    The head of the family, Marco, was sitting at the highest position with a gloomy face.


    "Sir, we haven''t heard anything from Marcus for three days."


    The housekeeper, Ted, asked worriedly, "Did something happen to him?"


    "Right... there were killers targetting us recently, and we''ve evacuated our family members. However,


    even so, it was still abnormal that we haven''t heard anything from him."


    "Why not send out someone to look for him?" Ted proposed.


    Marco pondered for quite a while and shook his head. "No need. Marcus must have run into some


    trouble. He isn''t calling us, probably because he''s not at thest moment yet."


    "Our family is still on the way up. It has been three days.


    .. Has Leo given us the reply?"


    Marco asked again.


    Ted shook his head and said, "I''m afraid he had forgotten all that we told him."


    A light shed across Marco''s eyes. "He''s just a son-inw married into the Henderson family. How


    dare he look down at us? In this case... let''s go to the International Commerce Center now, and we''ll


    merge the L Group."


    "But Young Master..."


    "Enough, family interests are above anything else. I believe that Marcus can do it!"


    Ted was coldly interrupted by Marco. Seeing that, Ted could only sigh softly and went out of the house


    with Marco.


    ...


    Lydia looked at the calendar, thinking about Neil''s celebration party next Monday. Her secretary Rachel


    walked in hurriedly and said, "Mrs. Henderson, Marco Wilson is here!"


    Lydia''s pretty face turned cold immediately after she heard the name. When she walked out, she saw


    Marco blocking the L Group gate with arge group of people. They wouldn''t let anyone in or out.


    "Mr. Wilson, what are you doing? How am I supposed to run my business with this?" Lydia asked with a


    cold face.


    "Of course you can run your business here... as long as you give me the person I want."


    Marco sneered and answered.


    Lydia''s thin brows knitted tightly, "Who do you want? What are you saying?"


    "Stop pretending that you don''t know anything! Your husband owes me 5 million dors! If you don''t


    give him to me today, you can give the L group to me to pay off the debt!"


    "What? Five billion?"


    Lydia was also shocked when she heard the number. That was not a small sum of money.


    The L Group had developed so well, but its market value was only about 6 billion.


    However, Lydia also knew Leo enough to believe that he would never owe anybody money, let alone 5


    billion.


    "Can I ask what has happened? Why does my husband owe you 5 billion?" Lydia asked calmly.


    Marco nced at her coldly and said in a fierce tone, "Your husband promised me to give my family all


    the properties from the Stewart family. The part acquired by my family put aside, the rest of the


    properties are worth about 5 billion in cash."


    Lydia was instantly furious, "That''s absurd!"


    "Absurd? You owe me debts when I say so, because, in Emerdale, I''m thew!"


    Marco heavily pounded the desk and looked at Lydia with a look full of threats. "My family, the Wilsons,


    is the only top family in Emerdale now. Those who go against me will all vanish!"


    "How ambitious, Mr. Wilson.


    .. but may I remind you of how you fainted for fear of the killer two days ago?"


    At that moment, sarcasticughter came out of the elevator.


    Leo came over, his tall figure standing before Lydia.


    The staff of the L Group, led by Rachel, all made way for Leo. Ever since their rtionship went public,


    they all knew that Lydia was Leo''s wife. Irene had even taken two days off because of that, and she still


    didn''te to work today.


    "Leo, here you are... finally."


    Marco''s face turned gloomy as soon as he saw Leo. Then he said, "If you don''t give all the properties


    of the Stewart family today, we''ll take away your wife''s L Group to repay the debt!"


    As soon as he said that, all the executives of the L Group were taken back. Lydia''s face became sullen.


    However, Leo still looked as usual. He even had a faint sarcastic expression on his face. "Is that so?


    Even if I want to give them away, I doubt if you dare to ept it."


    "How dare you!"


    Marco had a murderous look on his face, "Don''t see me as a fool! You''re still alive now just because of


    Lydia! What else can you rely on if I ruin the L Group she created from scratch?"


    Other Wilsons were also looking at Leo and Lydia with indifferent expressions as if the demise of the L


    Group was doomed.


    Leo shook his head. "You''re as short-sighted as Marcus. Come in with me, and you''ll understand that


    no matter how powerful you are, you''re still no better than pigs and fishes that were born for others to


    eat."


    He said as he walked into the president''s office of L Group.


    Lydia''s eyes were shimmering when she hesitated. She didn''t walk in.


    "Why are you still struggling by this time?"


    "Mr. Wilson, just ignore him and acquire the L Group as fast as we can!"


    "Yes, the L Group recently got aplete urban development project. We have to acquire it."


    Other Wilsons were all urging Marco to acquire the L Group quickly.


    But Marco was a suspicious man. He knew Leo was ying hard to get, but he also came up with an


    idea. "He''s just a good-for-nothing bum relying on his wife? What else can he do? We''ll see when he


    will stop putting on air."


    He said as he strode out.


    Bang...


    The door to the president''s office was closed, leaving everybody else outside.


    "Argh..."


    Three secondster, Marco''s extremely furious shout came out of the room.
