Chapter 287 A Turtledove Takes Over the Net of a Magpie
“Show your respect to Mr. Cohen!”
n’s expression darkened and screamed out.
However, Leo waved his hands and then squinted his eyes to look at him, asking, “Are you Lane?”
Land didn’t mind his gaze and replied, “Yes, I am. I know who you are. Leo, right?”
“Well?”
Hearing this, Leo got more surprised. He never expected that Lane had heard about him.
Lane gave him a wry look and remarked, “Although I didn’t attend the wedding the Hudson family held,
I learned about your thing as it was so well-known. You’re not the one who caused the copse of the
Hudson family but you’re deeply rted with it!”
Leo remained silence. Hopkins and Emerdale were two cities close to each other. What happened in
these cities could be fully learnt by some investigation.
However, Lane’s next words slightly startled Leo.
“I have done investigation on you. All you can rely ones from your wife, Lydia, the president of the
As Beauty. You’re nothing but a man who marries into your wife’s family, right?”
Lane thought he had found Leo’s weak point and showed a weird look.
He didn’t forget to add more sarcastic words to n and noted, “n, you have been away from home
for so many years. At first, I thought you would make a progress, but now it seems you are still a loser
as you use to be. You can always surprise me with your failure.”
After saying this, he suddenly pointed at Leo and remarked in a higher voice, “It seems that the man
you found is worse than you. How can you count on him to drag me offstage? Stop daydreaming!”
At this moment, Lane’s expression was full of pride and sarcasm when looking at everyone.
Leo got startled. n and Justin behind him also couldn’t understand Lane’s words in a short time and
both remained silence.
After a long time, Leo changed his expression from astonishment to calmness and noted with a smile,
“I thought you were different from others, but now I can tell there is nothing particr in you.”
Leo had done a lot during his trip from Emerdale to this ce. Everything was unexpected but
reasonable. He used to think Lane could notice some details, but now it seemed that Leo had thought
too much.
Lane gradually calmed down from excitement. He showed Leo a weird look and asked, “What do you
mean?”
Leo sat down in front of him and remarked randomly, “Have I told you I will drive you off the position?
You’re just talking to yourself all the time.”
Hearing this, Lane also got startled. It was true that Leo only asked whether he was Lane or not after
he got in without other questions. It was he who spoke out his inner feelings.
However, there was not a second possibility to ount for the reason why n and Leo toe to his
ce but their intent to drive him off!
Leo smiled calmly.
Suddenly, his look became sarcastic as he asked, “You’re only the deputy general manager of the J
Group rather than the chairman. If you are not a chairman, how can you say I am here to drive you
off?”
Lane knew what he meant. He suddenly got furious and shouted, “You’re looking for death!”
“It is you who are looking for death.”
Leo looked at him coldly and remarked calmly, “You’re only the deputy general manager but you have
taken over the ce of a chairman. Who gives you this nerve?”
With a p sound, Leo handed over a pile of thick files and presented them to Lane.
Leo used a great strength, even making the teacups on the table smash on the ground in pieces.
“Here is the agreement of transfer for the position of chairman in the Emerdale brand. It says clearly
that I will be the chairman of the J Group. How dare the unknown Watts family try to steal things from
me?”
Leo’s words were extremely cold. His series of questions made Lane’s mind went nk and shocked
his ears into deaf.
Even n and Justin were looking at each other and could sense they both got afraid of Leo’s
behaviour.
They got frightened when sensing the killing intent from Leo.
Lane picked up those documents to have a check. It was true that Marcus had sighed on it to let him
give the position of chairman to Leo.
When Marco was the chairman, the Watts family could frighten the Wilson family relying on their impact
in Hopkins. The Watts family controlled the J Group in their hands. Now Leo became the new
chairman. How could Leo, who had a strong consciousness of territory, allow his own thing to be taken
by somebody else?
However, a flicker of refusal of reconciliation still passed over Lane’s eyes. He asked, “What if I don’t?”
“Then what happened to the Hudson family will happen to you!”
“Hahaha!”
Laneughed out disdainfully when hearing this, “Can you do that? A man who marries into your wife’s
family and can only rely on them.”
Suddenly, Lane seemed to remind of something. He showed a weird smile and asked, “Are you feeling
imbnced after being called a loser so many times? That’s why you’re desperate to be the chairman
of our group to break their doubt.”
Leo couldn’t helpughing out. He didn’t even want to waste his time exining with him.
“Well then, considering you are so pathetic to be the man married into the Henderson family, I will give
you one chance for fairpetition.”
Lane looked at him from above. His tone was calm, as if he had showed Leo a big mercy by providing
him with this chance.
“Boss, don’t waste time with him. I will handle it!”
Justin remarked in a gloomy expression behind Leo.
However, Leo waved his hands and asked Lane, “Are you sure?”
“Yes! Let’s y a game. The game is called hide and seek.
”
Lane was carried with a vicious smile, saying, “The bunch of losers in the Wilson family decide to hand
over the position of chairman to you, but it doesn’t mean that you’re the real chairman. Even if you
have the agreement of transfer, without the voting from the shareholders in the group, you can’t take
over the ce.”
Leo didn’t speak a word and wait for Lane to finish his speech.
“It is also the same for me. I can’t get the chairman position without the shareholders’ votes. Therefore,
I decide to y the hide and seek game with you.”
“There are twelve shareholders in total. We both have twelve days to win their support. After twelve
days, the one who gets more votes will be the new chairman. How about that?”
Leo still didn’t say anything. n immediately rejected Lane’s suggestion and remarked, “No, that’s not
fair to us. People from the J Group all familiar with you. It must be easy for you to win their support!”
“Of course not!”
Out of their amazement, Lane shook his head and replied, “The J Group was founded by a precedent
that I couldn’t even know his name. ordingly, I also don’t know who are the original shareholder
members. Therefore, it’s a fair game for both of us.”
n still didn’t believe him. When he was about to convince Leo to not trust him, Leo suddenly showed
a smile and replied, “Of course we can y this game.”
Lane got a bit surprised because he never expected that Leo would promise him so easily. Soon, he
showed a cold sneer and remarked, “It is too boring to only bet the position of chairman. How about
adding more stakes?”
“How?”
Leo squinted his eyes and looked calm.

Lane’s smile was ferocious, saying, “If you lose, I will take over the L group your wife takes charge!”
“No problem!”
Lane immediately got startled. Leo’s indifferent smile really made him uncertain of his suggestion.
Leo reached out one finger and pointed at his leg, saying, “If you lose, I want one of your legs.”
Lane suddenly felt shocked, as if he was being gazed by a beast. However, he soon made up his mind
and promised him.
“Yes! In order to avoid us from cheating, I will invite the founder’s friend in his young age as the
witness!”
After he finished his words, an elder with white hair walked in. He was carrying a gentleman’s cane and
looked elegance. The elder nodded at everyone to greet.
“Then…deal!”
Leo and Lane stood up at the same time and looked at each other coldly. lightnoveldaily
