A middle-aged man was interestingly looking at the surveillance video displayed on the computer inside
a room of the hotel.
A young man behind him whispered, “Elder Coleman, is this the heir Lord Clarkson has chosen? I
didn’t see anything special about him.”
Noam smiled slightly. “Guess if he found the camera hidden under the air conditioner?”
The young man shook his head. “He couldn’t have noticed the camera. It’s so hidden that he couldn’t
find it unless he took a magnifying glass to it. And he didn’t pause his gaze for more than a second
when he glanced over at the air conditioner just
now.”
”
Hearing the words of the young man, Noam nodded.
“As the heir selected by Lord Clarkson, he is so slow to react. It’s unfair for him to be favored by Lord
Clarkson, and there’s still a huge disparity between him and the other reserve candidates.”
“Elder Coleman, you are absolutely right.”
Inside the box, Leonard had just sat down.
Damon, the hotel boss, had rushed in after hearing the report. And a group of managers walked in with
an attentive face.
“Mr. Walker, it’s a great honor to have you at our Dunham Hotel…”
Damon began a ceaseless flattery of Anthony.
At the same time, he peered quietly at Leonard out of the corner of his eye.
He thought, “Who is this youth? I can’t believe he’s sitting in the main seat at Anthony’s meal.”
After a few words of flattery, Damon quietly came to Leonard, sensing that the time was about right.
With a pandering face, he said, “You’re Mr. Walker’s friend, so you’re also my friend. A toast to you.”
Leonard picked up his glass and took a gentle sip.
Instead, Damon downed his drink and didn’t feel Leonard was embarrassing him.
After all, Anthony was so famous and could willingly be his foil. It could be imagined how terrifying his
background was.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe several managers following Damon were even more afraid to speak and were puzzled in their
minds.
They thought, “Who is this young man with a fresh face? He can act so calmly in the face
of our boss.”
Damon, boss of the Dunham Hotel, left sensibly after the toast.
All kinds of expensive drinks were placed on the table in a short while.
The waitresses were also eye-catching, pretty girls in dresses showing off their long legs.
They started with a drink to socialize.
Anthony whispered after he and Leonard had a few drinks, “The Gora Group is divided into several
sections. Mr. Clarkson has named you his successor, but the other factions are unsatisfied, and most
think that you are not good enough to inherit the vast family business.
“Especially since Max from the Youth Sect of the Galen Group has done a few significant things lately,
and he’s calling the shots. There’s even talk in private about co-signing for Mr. Clarkson to cancel your
heirship.”
After that, Anthony patted his chest and
said, “Back then, I was a chauffeur for Mr. Clarkson, and I’m in the position I’m in today thanks to Mr.
Clarkson’s support.
“Mr. Santos, you are the heir apparent to Mr. Clarkson in person. If anyone does not recognize you,
they do not recognize me.
“Mr. Santos, as long as you say something, even if it means tackling the elders, I’m willing to sacrifice
myself to accomplish your wish. I will come hell or high water for you.”
Anthony showed his loyalty for a while, but Leonard just stared at him coldly.
He might actually believe it if it weren’t for the camera under the air conditioner and that sense of being
spied on.
“I have known what’s going on within the Galen Group. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now.”
Leonard directly got up and said goodbye.
“Mr. Santos, I’ll drive for you,” Anthony shouted, who seemed to be getting a little tipsy.
“Thank you. I’ll drive back by myself.”
Leonard then walked out of the hotel and sat inside his Rolls-Royce.
However, after Leonard closed the car’s door, Anthony, who was still a bit drunk, rolled his eyes and
showed a bit of indifference. How did he look like an intoxicated person?
He turned around and walked straight into the hotel to the eleventh floor.
After Anthony walked into the room and saw Noam, he greeted respectfully, “Noam, what did you
discover?”
Noam closed the computer and laughed softly, “I didn’t see anything else. I just think Mr. Santos is
arrogant, and he is very indifferent to you. I’m not sure if he’s wary of you.”
Anthony nodded. “Regardless of his
thoughts, I’ve decided to take Max’s side. Now, Max has entered the Grand Master Realm at such a
young age, and Leonard is in no way comparable to him.”
Noam said cheerfully, “Anthony, it’s good that you can see that, unlike many within the Galen Group
who have illusions about Mr. Santos. Even if he was the one Lord Clarkson selected, it doesn’t
necessarily mean that he’s one hundred percent incapable of making a mistake.”
Leonard drove the Rolls-Royce all the way to the villa.
However, he had just turned a corner when he saw Gina, clutching a stack of books, standing under a
bus stop sign and looking
1.
Leonard stopped his car at the side of the road, rolled down the window, and waved to Gina. “Get in.”
Gina looked at Leonard’s face clearly and hesitated but obediently sat in the passenger
seat.
“Are you going home?”
Leonard smiled and handed Gina a bottle of
water.
Gina nodded and sat in the passenger seat. She looked at the angular side face of Leonard in a slight
trance.
She thought, “No one would have believed that such a young man could already be the richest man in
Newden.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeonard drove along, still thinking about what happened in the box today.
Gina said softly, “Thanks for last time. Elmore and the others no longer dare to bother me. Now, the
whole school knows I have a marvelous backer.”

been any rumors that you’ve been my mistress?”
Gina said with a smirk on her face, “Then would you like to keep me?”
Leonard didn’t know what to say for a
moment.
Gina laughed lightly.
She remembered Leonard’s bossy demeanor when he faced Elmore and the others earlier. But she
realized he was pretty bashful when she was alone with Leonard.
“By the way, is that your bodyguard in the Jetta car behind us?”
Leonard had been thinking something all the way. Hearing this, he instantly became stern in his eyes.
There was indeed a Jetta in the rearview mirror.
He hadn’t even noticed it since he had been thinking about Anthony’s intentions the whole way.
But he still smiled and nodded. “Yes. That’s my bodyguard’s car.”
Gina answered, “Okay.
“I’m a top student, and I have a good memory. When you stopped the car just now, I saw the Jetta stop
not far away as well, and as we were moving forward, it appeared behind us every so often, so I’ve
memorized the license plate.”
“Gina, you deserve to be the best girl,” Leonard complimented with a smile.
They arrived at the old neighborhood where Gina lived.
“Do you want to go up for a drink?” Gina asked.
As she said this, Leonard obviously blushed a bit.
Leonard smiled and shook his head.
“Nah. I have some things to do, so I’ll leave first.”
“Okay.” Gina felt a bit of loss in her heart.
Leonard watched Gina walk into the building, and he drove straight to a stop in an isolated demolition
zone.
More than a dozen cars came from all directions and surrounded Leonard’s car.
