Chapter 285

Cynthia took out a pair of sunglasses from her bag. She put them on to cover the rash on her face and hide the joy in her eyes.

However, her joy didn’t last long.

After she got into the car, she realized that she wasn’t in the same car from earlier and that even the driver was a different person.

Leslie didn’t get into the car. She rolled down the window and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Leslie didn’t answer for a moment. Then, he said coldly, “Next time, don’t acknowledge things that aren’t true. Rest well.”

Cynthia was taken aback and revealed a panicked expression.

The doctor must have said something after exiting the ward earlier, and that had angered Leslie.

“No, I…”

“I’m a man, and you’re a woman. Not only that, I’m your superior, and you’re my subordinate. So, it would be inappropriate for me to send you home.”

With that, he glanced at the driver and motioned for him to start driving.

Then, Leslie got into his own car and drove off.

Aurelia followed Daniel to the front row, where she was surrounded by powerful figures that one would rarely meet on a normal day.”

Surprised, she tugged on Daniel’s clothes and whispered, “Mr. Xenos, I think that you must be

“No. Our boss is thankful for what you’ve done, so he has arranged this seat for

you,

“Daniel said.

Daniel looked around and smiled. “Because there are still others who haven’t arrived yet.”

Aurelia looked around, unsure of who Daniel was talking about.

Suddenly, the surroundings quieted down. Everyone consciously took two steps back to make way.

Daniel looked over and said, “He’s here.”

Aurelia followed his line of sight and saw a young man entering with large strides.

To her surprise, it was none other than the heir to the Synder Corporation, Leon Synder.

Why was he here?

Chapter

Aurelia remembered that he wasn’t on the invitation list that she had edited.

Leon had a handsome face, with the arrogance and majesty of a rich young heir.

However, his gaze was sharp, and his presence commanded everyone’s attention as soon as he

entered the venue.

Everyone in Seacester knew that the Synder family was a true powerhouse that monopolized many industries in the city.

“Mr. Synder, long time no see.”

When everyone saw Leon, regardless of their status, they all greeted and fawned over him..

Leon only cast a fleeting glance at them and walked straight toward Daniel. After sizing Daniel up, a dark smile appeared on Leon’s face.

“Good move in forcing us to take the initiative. Now that I’ve come forward, shouldn’t your boss show up too?” Leon asked.

“Mr. Synder, please calm down. Today is our company’s opening ceremony. Let’s not discuss business matters here,” Daniel replied calmly.

“Mr. Xenos, do you know the consequences of messing with me?” Leon’s smile became more sinister, and the coldness in his eyes intensified.

“You’re mistaken, Mr. Synder. It’s a taboo to be too hasty in business. The boss has prepared gifts for everyone here today,” Daniel said politely with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they focused their attention on the two.

The veins on Leon’s neck bulged with rage, but he could only suppress his anger.

Aurelia felt a chill run down her spine as she watched the exchange.

She realized that real fights in business were often silent, with every word and action carrying hidden meanings.

Jan had probably anticipated Leon’s ill intentions and had led him into a contest of patience.

In this round, Leon had lost.

Leon’s actions confirmed that it was the Synder family who needed One Technology.

Everyone in the venue were all shrewd people. They could easily tell what was happening.

Synder Corporation had monopolized the technology industry in Seacester for many years. The fact – that they were seeking help from a newly established company showed that the Synder family might not be doing as well as they seemed.

Therefore, everyone remained silent and quietly observed the situation.

Aurelia was like a little lost rabbit that had strayed into a herd of wild beasts. She didn’t dare to make

any movements.

However, her intuition told her that staying there might not be appropriate. So, she slowly started to back away from the center of the storm.

Unfortunately, she accidentally bumped into the wine table. The sound of clinking glasses broke the stalemate.
