Chapter 101
“Marianna, where is your boyfriend? You just started dating. Why are you not being together every day? Why haven’t you chatted with him on WhatsApp? It’s not like the novelty wore off, and you dumped him, right?”
Inside the box, Kayla spoke half-jokingly.
She couldn’t forget Leonard.
“Leonard is very busy. I usually don’t bother him. He has his own business.”
Marianna said solemnly, but she had little confidence.
After all, she unilaterally declared Leonard, her boyfriend, and Leonard hadn’t agreed yet.
Logically speaking, for a beauty like Marianna, many men were chasing her. But Leonard treated her indifferently.
What Marianna liked was Leonard’s different attitude from others.
“Mr. Santos, Anthony has already set up a banquet. The reason why he asked to see you this time is because you are the heir chosen by Mr. Clarkson. They are subordinates, so they must come to see you.
“Another reason is that many people in the Gora Group question you, Mr. Santos. Presumably, Anthony also intends to test
you.”
Rex stopped the car in the parking lot and said as he walked, “However, the recovery of the documents yesterday has proved your ability. Anthony should know how to teach the people of the company.”
Anthony and others waited at the door for nearly an hour.
When he saw Leonard appearing accompanied by Rex, he hurried forward a few steps with a smile.
“I am Anthony. It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Santos.”
As he spoke, Anthony actually knelt on the ground on one knee.
Next to him, Rex looked at Leonard in a daze and hurriedly said in a low voice, “This is the highest etiquette in the Galen Group. Kneeling is only performed on very formal occasions, which shows Anthony’s attitude.”
Hearing this, Leonard took two steps forward and helped Anthony up.
All the figures in Newden City behind were secretly surprised.
“I have long heard that the Gora Group has a strict internal hierarchy. When I saw it today, I realized the rumors were true.”
Among those present, Waylon and Parker were the most shocked.
They never expected that the young master Anthony was going to welcome was actually Leonard.
No wonder Leonard was able to destroy a family as big as the Acosta family so quickly.
“Mr. Santos turned out to be the young master of the Gora Group.”
Waylon and Parker came together.
“You know each other?”
Anthony was puzzled.
Parker laughed and said, “Of course. Mr. Santos and I have had some problems before. Because of my relationship with the Acosta family, I had some conflicts with Mr. Santos. At that time, Mr. Santos gave an order to Michael, Ernest, and Hunter, the three forces…”
When Parker talked about the situation then, he still had lingering fears.
If Leonard hadn’t been merciful, the Governor would not even be able to save his life.
When these words came out, everyone in the field was shocked again.
Even Anthony looked at Leonard with a strange expression.
He also didn’t expect Leonard to be related to Michael and others.
These people were not from the Gora Group.
Then it meant that it was Leonard’s own ability.
“It seems that I still know too little about this young master.”

Chapter 101
Anthony thought in his heart,
“Are you Leonard?”
At this time, Ethan suddenly spoke.
“Who are you?”
Leonard frowned slightly when he saw Ethan.
To be honest, Leonard didn’t have the slightest impression of Ethan.
Ethan hastily introduced himself, “My name is Ethan Watts, and I am the chairman of Fox Bank. Mr. Santos is the highest-level VIP of Fox Bank.
“And there are only five VIPs at the highest level in Fox Bank, so I have read Mr. Santos’s information.”
Speaking of this, Ethan couldn’t hide his excitement.
“Mr. Santos’ account was personally opened by the vice chairman of Fox Bank. Mr. Santos was probably still in prison at the time. The vice chairman deposited every amount of the money into your account.
“He told me it is an honor for Fox Bank to have a customer like Mr. Santos.”
Ethan’s attitude towards Leonard was enthusiastic.
Everyone around him looked at Leonard differently.
Especially, Anthony had a new understanding of Leonard.
No wonder Leonard was selected as the heir by Ibrahim.
These people came to the best box.
The table was full of dishes.
Anthony raised his gla** to Leonard himself.
After the toast, everyone at the scene made friends with Leonard one after another.
At this time, Cole, the head of the Klein family, also stood up, picked up his gla**, and said to Leonard, “Mr. Santos, it is my honor to sit at the same table with you. I want to toast you.”
Leonard nodded and took a mouthful of wine lightly.
But Cole drank the wine in his gla** in one gulp.
Although Cole had a high status, there was still a big gap compared with Leonard.
He was fortunate to attend such a welcome banquet today and get acquainted with Leonard.
A gla** of wine was finished.
Cole did not sit down but said, “Mr. Santos, I have an unfeeling request. I wonder if you can agree.”
“Oh? What request?”
Leonard asked lightly.
“I have a son named Martin. I spoiled this child since he was a child. He is rebellious, behaves per versely, and also likes to gamble. He quietly lost all of my company’s 20 million dollars. And I froze his bank card.
“Mr. Santos has skills at a young age. I want my ineffective son to come to your side to practice.
“Mr. Santos, please treat him like a ser vant. Just let him get rid of some bad habits. I hope you can agree to my request.”
Hearing Cole’s words, the present people secretly scolded him for being cun ning.
They were all thinking about getting close to Leonard but didn’t think about it this way.
If Martin were arranged to Leonard’s side, then after a long time, their relationship would naturally be unusual,
There was also a friendship between the Klein family and Leonard.
That was a good move.
“I..”
Leonard hesitated and shook his head.
“I don’t need any helper for the time being. But the Santos Group’s project in Newden City is about to start, and it will be
Chapter 101
busy then. Mr. Klein, it won’t be too late to send your son over at that time.”
Although Leonard refused, he also gave Cole hope.
Cole suddenly became excited.
At this time, Anthony moved a car key closer to Leonard.
“Mr. Santos, I came in a hurry this time and did not prepare any presents. Do accept this Ferrari as my little gift for you.”
Leonard looked at the beautifully crafted key and shook his head slightly.
Ferrari was a sports car that was too ostentatious for Leonard.
“Mr. Santos, please accept it. This is a token of my sincerity.
“If you refuse, it means you are unsatisfied with the banquet today.”
Anthony’s expression was sincere.
Rex beside him also said in a low voice, “Sir, the company does have a habit of giving some gifts to the leader when they meet. It’s not good to refuse.”
“Okay, since that’s the case, I’ll accept it. But I don’t have a driver’s license yet, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to drive it for the time being.”
Before his words finished, Rex handed Leonard a certificate with a smile.
“Mr. Santos, I have already prepared your driver’s license for you.”
Leonard opened the driver’s license, and a picture of himself was on it.
Leonard couldn’t help but pat his forehead.
So stu pid. With his current power, getting a driver’s license was easy.
But Rex was thoughtful.
After accepting Anthony’s gift, Leonard said goodbye..
Anthony and everyone in the box got up to see Leonard off one after another.
At the restaurant’s door, a green Ferrari parked quietly in the parking lot.
There were several girls around who held their mobile phones and took turns sitting on the front hood to take selfies. When they saw a group of big shots appearing, the girls immediately stood aside in fear.
“Mr. Santos, see you.”
Leonard took the key, opened the car door, got in, and drove away in the Ferrari.
A few girls standing not far away suddenly showed excitement in their eyes.
And Eileen, who had just picked up something from her car, saw this scene, her rosy mouth opened wide.
“Is that Leonard?”
“Anthony and all the big shots from Newden City are waiting outside the door for him.”
Like being shocked, Eileen’s mind was full of thoughts.
Just as she was about to return to the box to share what she saw with her friends, her phone rang.
“Eileen, come back quickly. Something happened at home…”
