Chapter 217 The Exclusive News
The situation changed so fast that made everyone stunned.
The bosses who had arrogantly asked for breaking off cooperations just a few minutes ago, now they had trouble with their own companies.
Not only Denis, other nine chairmen were all looked determined with no expressions on their faces. It was clear that they stood the same side.
Those bosses were completely dumbfounded. They crawled towards Denis and clasped his legs, imploring him, “Mr. Atkinson, please forgive us! Let go of our companies!”
the Top 10 Enterprisesall ranked top 50 in Emerdale. It was as easy for them to collectively deal with some snotty companies as to chop vegetables.
“Get away from me!”
However, Denis kicked that boss over. Rest of the chairmen also looked indifferent.
Denis turned and smiled to Lydia, “Ms Henderson, are you satisfied with this?”
Lydia didn’t say anything. Her eyes looked beautiful. Suddenly, she looked back at Leo who hadn’t said any word.
He just looked at Lydia with a smile and nodded to her.
Lydia realized that Leo was the manipulator.
After the chairmen left, Leo finally cheerfully said, “I have said that I can protect you.”
“Thank you.” Lydia finally smiled and she looked prettier than flowers. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
There was still one sentence that Leo hadn’t said. If Lydia determined the lowest level of L Group, then Leo determined the best of it.
Only if Leo said yes, L Group would obtain all resources. He could make L Group a nationwide and even a worldwide business empire overnight. However, Lydia was competitive. She wouldn’t accept Leo’s help, so Leo hadn’t done that.
More haste, less speed. Just let the company grow naturally.
The crisis was lifted. But Lydia was still worried. Leo knew that she was still concerning that news.
At this point, Leo’s phone rang.
Justin’s low voice came from the phone, “Mr Cohen, I have got the information of Hopkins Metropolis. Its boss is a woman named Elias who is Ronnie Stewart’s secret lover. She used to work in new media industry. Supported by Ronnie, her company finally developed.”
“It was indeed done by the Stewarts…” Leo looked angry as if he wanted to kill them.
“Ms Cohen, may I help you…” Justin must have known today’s headline about Lydia. He couldn’t help speaking of it.
“It’s okay. Now, since the news has been released and read by hundreds of thousands of netizens, it’s useless to withdraw it.
I’ll tackle this myself.”
Leo paused for a second and continued to say, “You keep tracking the internert address and wait for my order.”
“Okay.” Justin responded and hung up the phone call.
“Who’s on the phone?” Lydia looked at Leo curiously.
“One of my guys.” Leo smiled and held Lydia’s hand naturally, “Let’s go to a place.”
“Wait, we are still in the company…” Suddenly held by Leo, Lydia was anxious. But she couldn’t shake off his hand and finally accepted it.
After half an hour, Leo and Lydia showed up at a company called Hopkins Metropolis. To be precise, it was only a studio of a dozen people.
“Ask your boss to come out.” Leo directly said to the receptionist.
“Do you have an appointment to meet Mrs. Wilkinson?” The receptionist asked arrogantly.
Leo laughed, “Such a small company needs appointments? I know she is in the office behind here.”
When he walked into the door, he had known that Elias Wilkinson was sitting in that office according to his innate amazing perception.
The receptionist was shocked, “Who are you? Why do you look for Mrs. Wilkinson?”
“It’s better to ask your boss.”
Leo calmed down and pointed at Lydia, saying, “Look at her carefully. Do you know who is she?”
The receptionist looked at Lydia right away and became stunned, “You, you are…”
A faint wry smile crossed Leo’s face, “Now you understand why we come here.”
The receptionist got in a panic, “Mrs. Wilkinson is busy now. You can’t come in!”
“Can you stop us?” Leo asked her coldly and entered the company with Lydia confidently.
The receptionist ran to stop them. But she was frightened the moment she made eye contact with Leo. She stood there stiffly.
“Let them come in.” At this moment, a woman’s voice came from the office.
The receptionist let them go and felt relieved.
After entering into the office, Leo saw a good-looking woman sitting on the chair with her legs crossed.
Since she was the lover of Ronnie, she coudn’t be plain.
“Are you Elias?” Leo looked at her and asked coolly.
“I guess you are the main characters in the video.” Elias glanced at Lydia and asked with a smile, “What do you come for?” Leo took out his phone and pointed at that news, “ Your report was full of personal abuse of my wife and it has affected her and her company’s reputation. I want you to delete it as soon as possible and apologize to her in public.”
Elias smiled, “Are you kidding me?”
Hearing this, Leo and Lydia both raised their eyebrows, realizing that this tour wouldn’t be simple.
Elias said with a smile, “Firstly, I think you are more clear about the authenticity of this video.
Our work is just to tell the truth to the public.”
“Secondly, this news has been released and it can’t be withdrew. If you want to cause us trouble, don’t blame us for writing more reports to make you notorious.” Elias began to threat them.
Leo slightly squinted his eyes and Lydia got a bit angry.
She knew the pressure from public opinion would cause the most severe loss to her.
Even if they deleted the news, the infomation had already been known by the public. It doomed to be a war that they wouldn’t win.
The only thing they could do was to prevent things from getting worse.
But Elias had made it clear that she was going to fight against with them.
“It’s people like you that make journalists be hated by others.” Lydia said coldly.
“Without hatred, there won’t be fear.”
Elias held her pen and said with a smile, “You’d better keep your nose clean. If you give me some gifts, I will write some positive reports of you when I’m happy.”
Lydia wasn’t afraid, “You are wrong if you think we’re afraid of you. If you want to play public relations gimmick, I will accompany you.”
Lydia looked very determined. Clearly, she would fight her to the last ditch.
Leo waved his hand, “No, you don’t have to.”
Then he looked at Elias and smiled coldly, “Are you confident because of Ronnie’s back-up?”
Elias paused and smiled unnaturally, “Who is Ronnie? I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Leo ignored her and said relaxedly, “In new media industry, catching people’s eyes is in the first place. Well, I can offer you an exclusive news.”
Elias’s heart missed a beat. She had a bad feeling.
Leo said with a smile, “Do you know Peter Lawson of the Lawson Family? Now he is still lying in the hospital because of me.”
“I’m not afraid of him, let alone Ronnie.” Leo smile wryly, “”By the way, Ronnie may still being treated in hospital. He must have been hurt at the shooting spot.
“The person who beat him was also me.”
Elias was greatly shocked. She looked at Leo in fright.
“It’s the last time I ask you. Will you delete the video and apologize?” Leo asked.
Elias was scared but she still said, “No!”
“Great.” Leo was cheerfully smiling, “Then don’t blame me for destroying you life and making you homeless.”
