Supreme Mars novel Chapter 101

While sipping the coffee leisurely on the top floor of International Commerce Center, Leo was also reading Ryan’s personal information.

Then Justin knocked on the door and entered the office.

He was slowing down his steps deliberately as he was afraid that the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor might disturb the quietness in the office.

“Mr. Cohen, I’ve already informed the Mr. Hammond of Vesper Corporation. He will be up to see you in five minutes.” Justin said respectfully.

“Thanks.”

Leo then nodded and landed his sight on Ryan’s profile and squinted his eyes, “Is this Ryan Frank’s adopted son?”

“Right.”

Justin then glanced at Ryan’s photos and said seriously, “Frank was quite a playboy when he was young and had a lot of affairs. Ryan is just one of his many love children.”

“Many?”

Leo captured the key information in Justin’s words and asked, “Does Frank have many love children?”

Justin nodded and replied, “He has many sons and all of them are illegitimate children.”

Hearing Justin’s words, Leo put down the teacup and wondered, “Is this information accurate?”

“Absolutely true.”

Justin then continued, “Frank’s wife died early and he already had a lot of bastards back then, but his wife gave birth to a daughter before she passed away.”

“Daughter?”

Justin nodded seriously, “Frank has a daughter, but the father-daughter relationship is pretty bad. It’s said that his daughter loathes him and doesn’t live in The Perry Family all these years, so we don’t have a lot of information about her.”

“We only know that she doesn’t take Frank’s last name.”

“I see...”

Leo’s expression changed a bit. Maybe it was because that he was a first-time parent now, he was somewhat triggered when he heard that Frank’s daughter took her mother’s last name.

“Many of his love children had all joined the Perry Family over the years and became his helpers. Ryan is one of them.” Justin continued filling in the information.

“But Frank doesn’t have any fatherly feelings towards them and only treats them as minions who would do missions for him. At the bottom of his heart, he only cares about his daughter and wants her to be the master of the house when he is old which is annoying for those bastards.”

A trace of fierceness fled past Leo’s eyes when he heard Justin’s words and wondered if Frank had realized that he sowed the seed to bring down the whole family.

“Dig deeper.” Leo ordered.

He had a gut feeling that the Perry Family was an unstable factor.

Right after Justin left, a middle-aged male stranger knocked on the door again and entered.

He was a bit bald and was about five-foot-high. The suit looked a little baggy on him.

Leo scanned him and cracked a smile, “Are you Darcey?”

“Who are you?” Darcey examined Leo cautiously.

He had never heard who was owner of the International Commerce Center and didn’t know Leo at all.

“It’s not important.”

Leo smiled and glanced at Darcey, “The important thing is that I can help you to deal with your problems and can let you climb the social ladder.”

“My problems?”

Darcey sneered, “I’m the vice president of Vesper Cooperation and earn millions a year. What problems do I get?”

Leo was not irritated and just laughed, “Have you ever heard that weakness is also a fault?”

“What do you mean?”

Darcey’s eyes got sinister and was under pressure.

Leo then threw Darcey a pile of papers and asked, “You engineered the 361 Case three years ago single-handedly, right?”

Darcey’s face immediately changed, “Who the hell are you and what do you want?”

“I said that it’s irrelevant. The important thing is that I can clear your worries.”

Leo then continued indifferently, “Well, you meant to give suggestions to your boss and then can be promoted, but you didn’t expect that you would be framed. Not only were you kicked out of the board of directors, you also lost all your fortunes and reputations. Then you just wallowed in your sorrows all day and took solace in alcohol. After resting in your home for a while year, you joined Vesper Cooperation and became the vice president who really had no real power. If I were you, I would just kill myself.”

Darcey’s face turned pale and stood up frantically and pointed at Leo, but he failed to utter a word.

“Well, the truth is that you are just a normal person and even if you fight like a dog, it’s still easy for a young man from a rich and influential family to kill you.”

Leo looked down upon Darcey and said, “To you, he might be an undefeatable enemy, but to me, he is as weak as an ant.”

“Do you want to drown your sorrows all day or to make amends for your crimes? It’s your choice one.”

Then Leo just stood up and left Darcey in the office who was suffocated by Leo’s fierceness.

Leo’s phone vibrated and he got a message from Nadine.

‘All the companies and real estates under the Ford family are all unfrozen now.’

‘Rebecca, Caroline and other people all went to the Virgil Cooperation now.’

Leo’s sneer deepened when he read the two messages.

“How shameful.”

Then he rushed to the Virgil Cooperation and heard Rebecca’s impatient voice when he just went into the meeting room.

“What are you worrying about? All of the assets under my family are all circulating now. We got both the money and the labor force. What’s more, we got more factories which are way larger than your crappy plant. I’m only here because you are my husband. Don’t be ungrateful!”

“Yeah, dad, what are you hesitating about?”

Caroline chimed in, “You lost your factory now and don’t have any workers now. You won’t be able to recruit any more employees in such a short amount of time. It’s about delivery date. You won’t get a dime if you can’t make any products now.”

William’s face darkened and shook with anger, “But you went too far here. Do you just want to buy the whole project with half a million yuan? Are you helping me our or looting a burning house?”

“William!”

Rebecca instantly got furiously and stared at William in resentment, “I can forgive you for asking me to kowtow to apologize, but you have to hand over this project to Ford family. Do you really think you can pull this off without us?”

“Why can’t he?”

Leo suddenly chimed in at the drop of Rebecca’s sound.

All the people present turned around in surprise and saw Leo marching into the meeting room and smiled at Rebecca, “Aunt Ford, do you really think that your family can do anything or did you forget the whole mess in your family yesterday?”

“Leo, you piece of shit again...”

Rebecca’s eyes became sinister when she saw Leo.

She didn’t know the reason but she just hated Leo more than William.

“Just go back.”

Leo waved his hand and said, “This project wouldn’t land in Ford family’s hand in a million years. Even if you got this project, can you execute it well?”

“Are you doubting our capability?”

Rebecca laughed out of anger and looked at Leo in despise, “How amusing. At the end of the day, my family is an influential family in Emerdale and is way more powerful than the Henderson Family in terms of manufacturing and capability. I’m doing this for this family. If the Henderson Family wants to prosper, they got to rely on us!”

William looked irritated and remained silent for Rebecca was saying the truth. The family background of Rebecca’s was way stronger than his.

“I got to give it a try then.”

Leo said lightly, “You would never get this project. Moreover, I can get this project started tomorrow and would like your whole family to take a look at it.”

“Leo, what are you talking about?”

William’s face changed when he heard Leo’s words and motioned Leo to stop talking.

Rebecca, Caroline and Patricia all paused at first and then broke into laughers.

“Did I hear it right? You’re going to start that project tomorrow?”

“You neither have the factory or the workers. How are you going to initiate the project? With your mouth?”

Rebecca sneered at Leo and said, “All right then. We’ll be here tomorrow to see how are you going to put it into operation.”

“But we do have a requirement.”

Rebecca quickly added, “If you can’t deliver your promise tomorrow, you got to let my family do it.”

“No problem.” Leo smiled and nodded.

Rebecca froze a bit when she heard Leo’s firm answer.

He then glared at Leo and left with all the people she brought along.

Before she left, she smiled at Leo and William and derided, “I hope that you won’t let us down tomorrow. I’m quite looking forward to that. I’ll be here with all of my family members.”
