Chapter 224 The One behind.
When answering the call, Leo was on the car to the International Commerce Center.
Compared to why Ronnie Stewart will call him, he paid more attention to what he said.
Kairo was dead.
Bertie killed him.
So Bertie was losing his cool.
Leo curled his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly, saying nothing.
After silence for long while, Ronnie Stewart said again. “Mr. Cohen, I’d like to ask you kill Bertie for my grandfather.”
Ronnie told his true purpose of the call. Leo then smiled slightly. “Mr. Stewart, are you kidding me? You are asking me to help you?”
Ronnie was choking, but he said “Yes.”
“This is the internal turmoil in your own family, I’m not interested in that.”
Besides, your family has done something evil to my wife. I am so happy to see the internal turmoil in your family. How should I help you?”
Ronnie was not surprised by his answer, but he gnashed teeth, “But compared to Bertie, I hasn’t messed you up so much. I can’t apologize to you for the unpleasant things between us.”
“As long as you can help me, I can do everything for you, even if you want my life. You can kill me, after you kill Bertie.”
Leo was surprised. He can felt the hatred and sincerity in Ronnie’s chest.
But he still hesitated because the identity of the Stewart family was so sensitive.
“Mr. Cohen, I’d like to tell you a secret about the O’Brien family.”
Ronnie Stewart suddenly said, “My boss, Neil O’Brien, pretended to bend the knee before you, but he is looking for an opportunity to ruin you. Recently they plan to use Michelle Brooks to mess you up.”
“Really?”
Hearing, Leo raised eyebrow, “Michelle Brooks?”
“Yes.”
Ronnie said in a low voice. Cleo entertainment and L group has a successful cooperation and these days Neil O’Brien will take the advantage of the celebration to have a meal with the two parties. At that time, they will ask Michele to propose a toast to you and the wine will be drugged.
“Michelle is your friend. If she proposes a toast, you will not refuse. Besides, Neil O’Brien has got the other families against you informed of that. As long as you lose in comma, they will torture you to death.
Hearing what Ronnie had said, Leo can make sure that Ronnie Stewart was sincere to kill Bertie. For this purpose, he even told Leo this great secret.
However.
“They think it too much.”
He smiled slightly. If they wanted to drug him, that’s a big mistake.
Not to mention he had known this thing, so what if he didn’t know it
“Mr. Cohen, I had told you this great secret.
Why don’t you believe in me?” Ronnie Stewart said in an urgent tone.
Leo lost in his thought for a while and then asked. “How is your relationship with Kairo Stewart?”
“As if he was my bloody grandfather.”
Ronnie said in a low and sad voice. “My mother was set up by Bertie’s mother and she was raped by a homeless man. Then she gave birth to me. Before long, my mother died of a disease. My grandfather had worried my mother, so he kept me in the family and brought me up as if I’m his bloody grandson.”
“Bertie has been looking for a chance to kill me. Grandfather taught me that I had to control myself, so I went to be a star. I pretended to be a play man. I just want to live, although I was made fun here.”
Leo heard that silently and then suddenly asked. “Not long ago, my wife and I were assassinated by a professional killer, and you were the one who tipped us off, didn’t you? To throw suspicion on Bertie Stewart, Marcus and even Kate Lawson.”
The silence on the other side of the phone lasted for a long while. Then Ronnie sighed.
“Mr. Cohen, you have sharp eyes. Grandfather asked me to pretend to be a play man who can only play and do nothing. I have made it for twenty five years, and I’m fed up with that.”
His voice was calm. “I have been waiting for an opportunity to ruin Bertie, and now that’s it.”
“That day, only I knew Bertie’s purpose, so I asked my man to follow him. But he witnessed the assassination. At that time, I know that’s a great opportunity, so I took this opportunity to set up Bertie, but I never expect…”
“You never expected that I and my wife are safe, right?”
Leo continued his words calmly with slight will to kill.
Ronnie didn’t continue, but apologized sincerely. “Sorry, Mr. Cohen.”
Leo narrowed his eyes. He never expected that there were also some hidden tigers in this small Stewart family.
Ronnie, a star, in fact, was more scheming than Bertie.
A son of a rich family chose to be a star was to tell Bertie that he had no interest in the master of the family. He just wanted to protect himself.
Ronnie had obeyed Kairo to pretend to be a stupid man to reduce Bertie’s alertness. Besides, he had been looking for opportunities to ruin him.
Who regarded Ronnie as the waste was a waste.
“Now that you can set up Bertie now? What if one day you set up me?” After a pause, Leo asked.
Ronnie got upset and said loudly. “I set up Bertie because his mother ruined my mother. I have to revenge for my mother. Mr. Cohen, I had no choice now.
I had to rely on you.”
“If you are obedient, I will make you the master of the Stewart family to comfort your mother on the heaven.”
Leo also said, “But once you play tricks with me, you will end up worse than Bertie.”
In spite of Leo’s bossy tone, Ronnie knew that Leo promised him.
“Thanks, Mr. Cohen.” He said with gratitude.
Leo nodded. “After Bertie takes charge of the family, he will definitely take some actions to mess me up. As for Neil O’Brien, you need to keep an eye on it and just do as the original plan.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes, Mr. Cohen.”
After the call, Leo looked at the scenery outside of the window. He curled his lips meaningfully.
“Ronnie, interesting.”
Twenty minutes later, it’s in the President office of L group.
Lydia was going outside. She was tiding up the documents with a bag on her arm.
Leo paused, “You’re going somewhere?”
Lydia nodded, “The project of Emerdale River is going to start, and the official has a dinner for us and the Stewart family.”
Hearing, Leo smiled. “I’m afraid the Stewart family cannot come.”
Lydia was surprised. And then she seemed to think of something and looked at Leo with surprise in her eyes. “Have you gone to the Stewart family?”
Leo said nothing, but he handed an envelope over to Lydia.
“The origin video has been ruined, besides, this family has given the City Construction project to me. From now on, you will take full charge of the Emerdale river project.”
Lydia was so surprised that she can say nothing with eyes open wide.
She was happy so much that the original video had been ruined. What’s more, Leo also got her the city construction project.
“Didn’t you use some ways to harm them and threaten them?”
Being happy for a while, Lydia asked upset.
Leo shook head, “Kairo offered to give the project to me.”
“That’s good.”
Lydia took a sign of relief. If this project was grabbed by force, the officials of City Construction Bureau will perhaps cancel the corporation if they knew that.
“I said that. You yourself supported the L group in the past five years. Now I’m back, you will never be as painstaking as before. You have me now.”
Leo held her hand and smiled. This time, Lydia didn’t struggled and let Leo hold her hands.
This man had kept his words and cared about her on every little things. Most importantly, an iron woman like Lydia can feel great sense of safety beside Leo.
Was this the feeling of love?
