Chapter 84 Ejection
If the presence of the top ten companies pushed the atmosphere of the evening banquet to the extreme, then the arrival of the Lawson Group would be an unexpected interlude.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became strange. Caroline came to her senses and watched in awe.
The Lawson Group was a real monolith.
Compared with it, those powerful companies such as the Sky Technology, the Lonver Group, and The Blue Company are nothing.
William lowered his voice and asked Leo, “Leo, why did you bring the Lawson Group here?”
Leo did not answer, but the smile on his face faded bit by bit.
He didn’t expect that the Lawson Group would come and cost 80 million dollars.
Skyer O’Brien, the chairman of the Sky Technology Company, was unhappy. He stood up and said to Chris Lawson, “Everyone invests 50 million dollars. Why should the Lawson Group pay 80 million dollars?”
Chris Lawson replied with disdainful face. “Does it need your permission for us to decide how much we would pay?”
As he said this, he ignored the angry face of the bosses of other companies and said, “The Lawson Group will sign the contact of offering 80 million dollars right now.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The presidents of the ten companies looked at each other, and then Skyer said seriously, “Then the Sky Technology will also offer 80 million.”
Bang!
The chairman of the Lonver Group slammed the table. “In that case, the Lonver Group will offer 80 million too!”
Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Lydia was a little uneasy. She turned around and asked Leo with her eyes.
This was not a sponsorship meeting, but an auction.
However, aside from Leo, no one else knew that the ten companies present had received orders from the general manager to sponsor the Atlas Beauty. The one who did it best would be able to enter the Kingston Chamber of Commerce this year.
In Emerdale, only three people belonged to the Kingston Chamber of Commerce. They are the richest man Alan Russell, Thomas Reyes, and Justin Cox who had just entered.
It could be seen how difficult it was to get a place.
Therefore, the ten companies all paid full attention to this matter, but none of them was weaker than others. After discussing it together, they decided to sponsor 50 million dollars each.
Originally, they got along quite happily with each other, but the arrival of the Lawson Group broke the balance. The ten companies were no longer willing to show weakness and raised the sponsorship fee to 80 million one by one.
While they were in a heated argument, the representative of the Lawson Group was silent. Anyway, he had already done what Kate Lawson asked him to do.
“Enough!”
All of a sudden, a loud roar overwhelmed the whole place.
Everyone stopped arguing and looked at Leo in surprise.
For a moment, the Henderson family became the focus of the crowd.
Caroline and Rebecca were so scared that their faces changed greatly. They glared at Leo and said, “You good-for-nothing, you only know how to make trouble for us all day long. Do you know who they are? They are presidents of the top 50 companies. What qualifications do you have to shut them up?”
After scolding Leo, Rebecca ran to the senior management of the Atlas Beauty and the bosses of the ten companies. She apologized with a smile, “Gentlemen, I’m sorry. We have nothing to do with this good-for-nothing. You can vent your anger on him. Don’t blame it on the Henderson family.”
“What are you talking about?”
These words also angered William, “Have you forgotten who hired these sponsors? If it weren’t for Leo, we would have been laughed at.”
“So what?”
Rebecca rolled her eyes and said, “Do you really think that the bosses came here for his sake? Obviously, they invested for the sake of President Henderson of the Atlas Beauty.”
Rebecca said this based on her own understanding. She wanted to please the boss of the ten companies and Lydia, but she offended both sides at the same time instead.
“I don’t have that much influence.”
Lydia said flatly and dismissed her flattery.
Skyer O’Brien was even more straightforward. “Do you fancy yourself clever? Who are you? How dare you guess what we are thinking?”
The other nine bosses also looked at Rebecca coldly with overwhelming presence.
Rebecca felt awkward and realized that she had offended everyone.
At first, she was afraid that Leo might implicate the Henderson family, so she wanted to distance him from the Henderson family and please Lydia and the bosses by the way. Unexpectedly, she shot herself in the foot.
Lydia stared coldly at all the Henderson family members except for William and said, “You guys have already been put on the blacklist by our company. How dare you come to the dinner party shamelessly?”
“Guards, drive them out.”
Rachel understood what Lydia meant and immediately called the security guards over.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“We are also from the Henderson family. Why should we out?”
The security guards of the hotel immediately rushed up and drove Rebecca, Caroline, Samuel out.
Suddenly, Caroline turned around, pointed at Leo and asked angrily, “Why you don’t drive him out?”
Leo narrowed his eyes slightly. They still wanted to drag him down.
Lydia’s face became even colder, so was her tone. “We, the Atlas Beauty, only cooperate with decent men. Those immoral persons don’t have the qualifications to enter my gate.”
Hearing her words, Caroline looked at Leo with even more hatred.
“Leo! It’s always him who makes us lose face. I’m so angry…”
“If I don’t teach him a lesson, it’ll be hard to get rid of my anger!”
Caroline and the others were driven outside the hotel by the security guards. Everyone’s face was vivid, and Caroline stomped hard on the ground.
Samuel Ford was steadier. He touched his chin and was thinking about something.
Suddenly, he grinned and said, “Everyone, don’t be angry. I think it’s a good thing for us that Ms. Henderson and the bosses vented their anger on us.”
Caroline asked puzzled, “Samuel, are you out of your mind? We were humiliated by them again.”
“Indeed, but Caroline, think about it carefully. Rebecca only misspoke one sentence. Why did they chase us out?”
The others looked at each other and could not figure out why.
“Samuel, don’t keep us guessing. Tell us quickly. Why is it a good thing?” Caroline asked.
Samuel laughed and said, “Did you find that the atmosphere has changed since the arrival of the Lawson Group. Whether Ms. Henderson of Atlas Beauty or the bosses of the top ten groups, they are all getting angry in their mind.”
The others nodded. It was true.
Samuel said, “Think about it. How can that good-for-nothing shut up the bosses? Although he solicited the money, he has offended those bosses now. I can guarantee that this sponsorship will end soon, and The Henderson family can’t get a penny. At that time, we can teach that good-for-nothing a lesson.”
Everyone smiled as they heard this.
