Chapter 298 TheTwo Vice Presidents
Chapter 298 TheTwo Vice Presidents
Leo hadn't felt the murderous intention hidden in the current peace. He had already made his way
home by then.
"Dad!"
As soon as the door opened, Emilia ran over with open arms.
Leo squatted down, hugged her, and kissed her on the face. Then he released her and asked with a
smile, "Where's Mom?"
Emilia looked upstairs and pouted in dissatisfaction, "She has been busy since she was back and does
have time for me."
Leo smiled and asked, "How about playing with Dad?"
"Great!"
Emilia immediately beamed.
Having enjoyed themselves for a while, Emilia felt a bit tired. Leo picked her up carefully and went
upstairs.
Lydia got up from the chair when he opened the door and asked, "Is she asleep?"
Leo nodded. "Yes."
Lydia seemed guilty when hearing that. "My hands are tired with business... So I didn't have time for
her."
"It's okay. You can always count on me."
Leo shook his head with a smile and told Lydia, "Please don't take the burden alone."
Lydia gave him a slight nod. She felt so touched and asked, "How about going to the L Group with me
tomorrow?"
Leo asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because I want you to be in the company."
Lydia said with mild eyes, "The market value of the L Group will increase several times as soon as the
urban construction project is complete. When everything is back on track, I'll hand over the group to
you."
Leo got a warming feeling in his heart. Lydia wanted to give the company she struggled to build. That's
so generous.
He knew very well that the L Group meant more than money to Lydia. It was her most precious thing.
She started this company from scratch without spending a penny for her family. She had been away
from home for many years and refused to return. That was her way to prove to her family that she
could live just as well without them.
However, Leo asked her quietly with thoughtful eyes, "That's not the real reason you want me in the
group, is it?"
Lydia fell in silence. She clenched her hands and released them soon.
After a long while, she raised her head, looked at Leo, and said, "You're right. I want you to handle my
family."
Leo's eyes suddenly turned cold. He stayed silent, waiting for Lydia to continue.
"If you go back to Valenham with me without taking a position, they would insult you. It will be better if
you are the vice president of our company."
Hearing Lydia's words, Leo looked at her with gentle eyes.
He was smiling, not refusing.
He clearly knew what Lydia was worried about. He might be the most potent hidden force in Emerdale
now, but no one knew who he was, let alone those royal families in YD Country.
Leo knew they still saw him as the good-for-nothing bum who doesn't even have a job.
He didn't care what they thought. They were just Lydia's distant family to Leo.
"The royal family of Country YD... I hope you won't be too harsh on her, or I wouldn't mind being a
villain for once..."
A cold light flashed over Leo's dark eyes.
The next day, as the sun rose...
After dropping Emilia off at school, Lydia went to the L Group with Lydia.
However, both of them keenly felt that the L Group seemed a bit different from usual.
None of the staff passing by had greeted Lydia. They were just nodding.
Leo's eyes focused. He looked back at Lydia and saw her walking forward faster with a relaxed look.
"President Henderson!"
Just by then, Irene hurried towards her, with a dignified look on her face.
"What happened?"
Lydia's pretty face finally showed a stern look.
Leo also narrowed his eyes. Lydia was the founder of the L Group. He wondered why all the staff
suddenly turned less respectful to her.
Irene looked around and confirmed no other people were spying. Then she lowered her voice and
reported to Lydia, "Mrs. Walsh is back."
Lydia's eyes became cold upon hearing that. Then her face became stern.
Leo paused for a moment and asked, "Who's that?"
Irene said worriedly, "There are three vice presidents in our group; me, Mollie, that has been fired... and
the third one is Mrs. Walsh."
"She was already here when the company was founded, so she had served two presidents and has a
great say in the company. She has been staying in Hopkins Metropolis to develop the market there,
and doesn't stay in Emerdale very often."
"Really...?"
Having heard Irene's introduction, Leo decided to be more careful.
"And it is said that in the early days when the company was founded, Mrs. Walsh was supposed to be
the president. President Henderson won the position later because she was welcomed here."
"Mrs. Walsh has been holding a grudge for this matter. She hadn't said anything, but she disliked
President Henderson so much, which was why President Henderson sent her to Hopkins Metropolis to Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
develop the market there."
"Enough!"
Irene still wanted to say something, only to be stopped by Lydia's yell. She looked at Irene coldly and
said, "Gather all the executives. There will be some personnel changes."
"Okay, President Henderson."
Irene closed her mouth immediately and didn't dare to say anymore.
Leo stood behind Lydia with a stern face.
If what Irene said was true, Mrs. Walsh was definitely up to no good this time.
Lydia took her president position and exiled her to Hopkins Metropolis in the name of ''marketing
development". Mrs. Walsh hated Lydia more than anyone else.
Leo just wondered what she was back for.
"Is she back to help her?"
"Or... to force Lydia to abdicate?"
The executive meeting was going on in order. In the oval-table conference room, Lydia was sitting in
the middle, with her secretary Rachel standing beside her. On both sides of the table, the company
executives were seated in order of their positions.
Lydia's pretty eyes skimmed over everyone and said calmly, "Let me brief the meeting agenda again...
we still have a vacant vice president position after Mollie left..."
"Wow..."
The eyes of the executives changed greatly when hearing that. All of them wished they could sit on that
spot.
However, Lydia paused and continued in a low voice, "I now announce that Mr. Cohen will join us as
the vice president."
As soon as she finished speaking, Leo stepped forward and grinned. "My name is Leo."
Other people fell in dead silence.
They looked at Leo in astonishment, with huge waves surging their minds.
The L Group staff were more than familiar with who Leo was. He was Lydia, the president's husband.
They wondered what this was supposed to mean.
"Is Lydia trying to keep all the goodies within her family?"
Females dominated the leadership of the L Group. They were now looking at Leo and Lydia. For the
first time, they felt a bit dissatisfied with her.
However, they wouldn't dare to argue due to Lydia's authority.
"I don't agree!"
Just by then, a loud voice came from outside the door.
A mature woman in short hair walked in. She was in suits and on high heels. Her red lips, narrowed
slanted eyes, and the domineering aura pretty much said who she was.
She was the vice of three presidents in succession, one of the founders of the L Group, Sophia Walsh.
Lydia raised her eyebrows slightly with threatening lights flashing in her eyes. She checked Sophia
Walsh from head to toe.
Sophia grinned a cold smile and said to Lydia, "How could you forget me? Why didn't you invite me to
such an important executive meeting?"
