With her straightforward personality, she saw no reason to hide anything from her grandfather. She decided to just tell him the complete truth."So that's it!" Even though Benedict guessed it, he was still a bit surprised to hear his granddaughter admit it herself."Grandfather, will you oppose me being with Leon?" Cynthia asked with some worry.She knew that Leon was an orphan with no family background. The most fundamental reason behind Leon's break up with Iris was that their family backgrounds were just not compatible.The Shears were one of the four great families in Springfield City just like the Youngs. She was worried that her grandfather would have similar opinions on Leon.She did not want to follow in Iris's footsteps!"Oppose it? Why would I oppose it?" Benedict was curious."Leon's an orphan. He doesn't have a good family. Won't you be unhappy about that?" Cynthia said anxiously."Background has never mattered when it comes to heroes! Leon's incredibly capable, a
That was hard to believe!"The two of us have broken up!" Iris said as she acted calm. However, she was feeling a bit lost."You broke up? W-why?" Louisa was stunned. After that, she finally understood something. She slammed her hand on the table and said indignantly, "Iris, did he do something unforgivable? Did he hurt you?""Don't worry, I'll go find him right now and get justice for you!""No, it's not like you think," Iris said."Then what exactly happened?" Louisa said anxiously. She could not figure out what happened between Iris and Leon."It's fine, this has nothing to do with you. You should stop trying to interfere," Iris sighed and said.She knew that Louisa was quite a troublemaker. She was already in a bad enough mood. She did not want Louisa to add to it."No, I won't just let it go! If you're not going to tell me, I'll give Leon a call right now. I want to ask him what happened!" Louisa said, pulling out her phone to call Leon."Louisa, please don't cause any tr
In truth, she felt like what Louisa said made sense. However, Leon's guilty actions and the fact that he killed off any witnesses was an irrefutable truth!As long as Leon did not explain it, she would not believe Leon!After all, this concerned the fortune of the whole family. She could not play around with it, her grandfather and her father would not allow her to either."I don't know why he wasn't willing to explain either. He might be in a difficult position," Louisa said firmly."I don't think he's in a difficult position! He's just guilty, and has other plans!" Iris said coldly."Iris, can you not be so stubborn? You've been with him for so long. Can't you tell if he's a good person or not? Why are you so fixated on something so small?!" Louisa said."That's not necessarily true! It's hard to know someone! What if he was just putting on an act the whole time?!" Iris said."But-" Louisa wanted to continue, but she was stopped by Iris before she could."Alright, stop it her
"Isn't he your boyfriend? With his capabilities, he should be staying in the company to help you. Why did he leave?" Ariel asked stubbornly.If it was anyone else, she would not have bothered with it.However, Leon was different. She started to like Leon at some point. Even if Leon was Iris's boyfriend, she could still not hold back from asking about Leon, wanting to at least figure out what happened."I've already broken up with him!" Iris said coldly."You two broke up? How's that possible?!" Ariel was stunned.Based on what she knew, Iris and Leon just got together not too long ago. It was only a few short days at most.She never expected them to break up so quickly!It was too unbelievable. "Haha, it's good that you broke up! Miss Young, I already told you before this. Leon's not reliable at all. It's a smart move breaking up with him!" Ashwin was elated. He could not stop himself from laughing out loud.He was one of the men who was pursuing Iris since the start. When he
"Oh, alright," Leon smiled. Thinking about how Cynthia confessed to him the night before, he felt a bit awkward."Also, since you've left Elegante, I guess the shadow chairman will be able to come back to our company?" Cynthia smiled."Yes, I'll go with you to the company in a bit," Leon nodded.For the sake of staying by Iris's side, he was forced to leave the Cythion Group to Cynthia.However, he already broke up with Iris and left Elegante. There was no longer any need to continue leaving things to Cynthia."That's right, Cynthia, did you have anything important to talk to me about when you came to the bar to see me last night?" Leon could not help but ask when he remembered the last night."It's like this. There aren't enough Energy Nurturing Pills to satisfy demand in Springfield City. Many of the major families are waiting to buy the second batch. We've bought a batch of materials urgently in the past with days. When do you plan on refining the second batch?" Cynthia said s
"Who's that guy? Could he be Miss Shear's boyfriend?""Surely not? Miss Shear is one of the four most beautiful women in Springfield City and is even the gem of the Shears. With who she is, her having a boyfriend would probably have already been spread around the whole of Springfield City. We've never even heard of it before.""Yes, that's right. I think that guy's probably Miss Shear's new assistant or secretary…"…Looking at Leon and Cynthia slowly leaving, everyone started to talk about it. In the end, a lot of them thought that Leon was just Cynthia's new assistant or secretary, so they were much calmer.In the president's office, Cynthia had a few employees move a table over, getting Leon to sit next to her. The two of them sat close together, making it easier to work with each other.Once the employees left, only Leon and Cynthia were left in the office."Cynthia, you can just arrange for a private office for me. Why are you making us sit together?" Leon asked curiously.
"Cynthia, thank you." Leon looked at Cynthia in appreciation.He was not a rock. Cynthia was doing everything for his sake. It touched him quite a bit."Let's go, I'll bring you around the workshop," Cynthia let out a sweet smile as she pulled at Leon's arm and exited the office.Leon was a bit unused to Cynthia's intimate actions.However, thinking about how Cynthia was incredibly sincere and straightforward, on top of the fact that Cynthia was doing everything she could to help him, she allowed her to do as she pleased.Cynthion was a pharmaceutical company that primarily produced common medicines.The workshop mainly dealt with those.Leon already wrote down a few unique pills through his knowledge of the company.With those pills, on top of the Energy Nurturing Pills that were helping the company bolster its reputation, their production was rapidly increasing.In the future, Cynthion might not need to take that long to establish itself in the pharmaceutical world of Spring
Leon's heart was beating rapidly. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating. His heart almost jumped out of his throat.He was a very normal, hot-blooded man. There was no way he could bear that temptation.At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to toy with Cynthia's feet with his hands, but his rationality stopped him."What's so inappropriate about it? You said you would compensate me. Are you going to go against your own words?" Cynthia said with a red face.In truth, it was not just Leon who was nervous. She was even more nervous and felt very embarrassed as well. She was even tempted to just give up.However, for the sake of getting closer to Leon and finding a place in his heart quickly, she clenched her teeth and held firm."I-" Leon gulped.He did want to pay Cynthia back for her hard work, but that compensation was just too alluring. It did not seem like compensation at all. He felt rewarded instead."Cynthia, men, and women have boundaries. Shouldn't you pic
