Chapter 779
“Alright, don’t make any more wild guesses. I’ll tell you the truth...after leaving Elegante Group, I founded a new company called
Cynthion Group, and it’s been doing quite well lately...” Seeing how adamant she was to get to the bottom of this, Leon finally
decided to tell her the truth, but before he could finish, she interrupted him.
“You founded a company? Don’t try to fool me! You have no money or connections, so how can you even pull that off?” Ariel said
dubiously. As a member of Elegante Group’s higher management, she was familiar with the business world, but since Cynthion
Group had yet to make a name for itself, she had never heard of it before and thus had no idea that Leon was, in fact, the
president!
She was still under the impression that he was boasting!
“I’m not fooling you; I’m telling the truth. I founded this company with someone else. They’re responsible for the cash flow,
whereas I’m in charge of the technical sector...” Leon explained. He did not mention that his business partner was Cynthia, lest
Ariel misunderstand his message and think Cynthia had taken him in as a sugar baby!
“Oh!” Ariel finally understood. She knew that Leon was the brains behind Elegante Group’s cosmeceutical line, even though
Leon did not have anything under his name, he was a smart and capable man. Therefore, she was not at all surprised to find out
that Leon had managed to find a company with someone else based on his technical expertise.
“But even if you founded a company with someone else, it would have just taken off, so how did you manage to fork out 780
million dollars worth of assets? Besides, I don’t think your business partner would agree to
this!” Ariel asked dubiously.
She guessed that Leon’s company had probably just begun to take off, so one would not expect Leon to be able to fork out a few
million dollars, much less 780 million!
“I mortgaged all my shares and got a loan...” Leon replied.
“What? You-” Ariel immediately understood and fell into a brief silence at this discovery. Even though she did not know where
Leon loaned the money from, she knew that he must have paid a hefty price and pulled many strings to get his hands on the
money!
“What’s wrong, Ariel?” Leon asked, sensing that something was wrong.
“Nothing...” Ariel sighed. She knew that as someone with nothing under his name, Leon must have put in an exceptional amount
of hard work just to build a company with someone else.
The Youngs had betrayed Leon and kicked him out of their house, yet not only did Leon hold his head up high, but he was even
willing to sacrifice so much to save Elegante Group!
Leon had placed so much on the line just to help Iris!
‘Iris, I don’t know what’s wrong with you–how can you break up with someone like Leon, who’s so willing to sacrifice everything
for you?‘ Ariel asked silently.
She could not help feeling grievous about this. After all, she was in love with Leon, and she longed for Leon to love her even
one–tenth of how he loved Iris!
“Ariel, let’s talk details. I intend to use 780 million to buy out Elegante Group, how does that sound?” Leon asked straight to the
point.
