“Leonard, have you arrived? You must come.” Waylon called Leonard.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lambert. I’ll be there soon”
Leonard hung up the phone, and he stopped the car in the parking lot.
He took the plastic bag and got out of the car.
“Rex, go and do your work. I will call you if there is anything”
Leonard waved his hand at Rex.
He found that besides doing things for him, Rex was also busy with other things, which should have been ordered by Ibrahim.
Since Rex didn’t say anything, Leonard would never ask.
At this moment, many people gathered around the entrance of the museum.
All of them were dressed in fancy dresses and famous watches. They were all elites in Newden City.
They didn’t come here for antiques, but they hoped to get acquainted with the chairman of the Newden Chamber of Commerce, Waylon Lambert.
Before Leonard stepped into the museum, he heard a surprised voice. “Leonard, why are you here?”
Turning around, he saw Kenia, Willie, and Judy who had just walked to the door.
“I heard that there is an antique exhibition, so I came here,” Leonard said with a smile.
“Leonard, why do you come to this kind of place? After you were released from prison, why don’t you look for a job?” Willie reprimanded.
He disliked Leonard more recently.
“I come to see if there is any good diamond, and I want to buy one,” Leonard said truthfully.
“Diamond? Do you know how expensive it is? It costs at least tens of thousands of dollars. Can you afford it?
“What’s in that bag? Show me,” Willie said with a sullen face.
He was worried that Leonard learned something bad in prison. Would he have any bad thoughts at today’s antique exhibition?
“It’s money,” Leonard said.
He was not afraid that Willie would know his current situation.
It was Willie who misunderstood him all the time.
“Are you crazy?
“Forget it. I don’t bother to look at it. Remember, there are many noble people today. Be quiet, and don’t cause any trouble.” Willie snorted coldly, but in the next moment, he smiled and went to a fat man.
“Mr. Carter.”
“Mr. Barton! I didn’t want to come, but Mr. Lambert called me to invite me.”
Willie immediately said respectfully, “Mr. Lambert is a famous figure in Newden City. Mr. Carter, can you introduce me to him…”
Leonard didn’t want to stay here
anymore.
While Willie was chatting with Mr. Carter, he walked directly into the museum.

Chapter 10
You are Leonard, right?”
As soon as Leonard entered the museum, a man in a bow tie greeted him.
Leonard nodded. “Yes”
Mr. Lambert is chatting with other bosses, and he let me lead you up
“Okay.”
Leonard straightened his clothes and followed him to the second floor.
The first floor was the museum, while the second floor was the private arca.
In the room on the second floor, several men were sitting there, all of whom were famous figures in Newden City,
A woman wearing gold–rimmed gla**es sat next to Waylon. She looked graceful and capable.
Everyone had to be careful about where to sit on this occasion.
Since the woman sat first on the left side, it meant that her status was second only to Waylon’s.
A man who looked like a scholar took the initiative to talk to the woman, “Ms. Moreno, Santos Group has just won the land in the south of the city. Can we share this project?”
This woman was Gracia Moreno, the president of Santos Group.
“Of course, Santos Group still needs your help in Newden City.”
Waylon laughed loudly. “Gracia has a**ets worth more than two billion dollars at such a young age, and she will surpa** us soon in the future.
“I think the next president of the chamber of commerce must be you, Gracia.”
Hearing this, Gracia immediately panicked.
“Mr. Lambert, please stop joking with me.”
Immediately, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
“Mr. Lambert, hasn’t your friend come yet?”
“Soon,” Waylon said. “Although my friend is young, he is an expert in antiques, so I want to introduce him to you. Please help him in the future.”
“No problem. Your friend is our friend.”
The middle–aged man who looked like a scholar laughed loudly.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in,” Waylon said.
Leonard walked in with a plastic bag
His appearance made the several bosses present a little stunned.
Gracia suddenly stood up and asked, “Mr. Lambert, is this the young man you are waiting for?”
Waylon wondered why Gracia had such a big reaction, but he still nodded and said, “Yes, Leonard and I met three days ago. Ms. Moreno, do you also know him?”
Several other bosses also showed curiosity.
Gracia left her position and walked towards Leonard.
“Mr. Santos, why are you here? I’m not working at the company at this time but come here. You won’t deduct my salary, will you?”
Gracia smiled and said sweetly and coquettishly.
Leonard smiled slightly. “How can I deduct the salary of a beauty like you, Ms. Moreno?”
The conversation between the two shocked all the bosses present.
Was this man the mysterious boss of Santos Group?
Santos Group acquired Greenness Group half a month ago, and even the original team of Greenness Group had been bought.
At the same time, they made several large investments in a row and then became famous.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Gracia to sit next to Waylon among so many bosses.

Chapter 10
But there had been various rumors about the boss behind Santos Group.
They didn’t expect it to be Leonard.
“Leonard, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful
Waylon suppressed the shock in his heart and laughed loudly.
“Mr. Lambert, can I have this necklace?” Leonard asked.
“Mr. Santos, to be honest, I insist on giving you this necklace because I want you to do me a favor.”
Waylon knew that it was impossible for Leonard to owe him a favor, so he just cut to the chase. “What is it?”
