Seeing that his speculation had been proven right, Leo held his phone with his eyes squinted.
Alan was from the Watts family, just as Leo had expected.
There were two reasons.
First, they shared the same family name, but that was a very common name; therefore, the main reason was the second one.
The four prestigious families had all attended Caroline and Benedict's wedding. Alan didn't turn down the Grant family and the Palmer family; instead, he ignored the Watts family, which confused Leo.
Don't embarrass the person who showed you kindness. This worked for all officials and businessmen. As the richest man in Emerdale, Alan should’ve known the rule better than anyone else.
However, out of all the wealthy families, he ignored the Watts family and offended them.
There was only one reason behind that... Alan and the Watts family were already holding hostility against each other. He didn't even bother to pretend to show basic respect.
"Boss, why do you suddenly care so much about my family?"
Alan was shocked on the other side of the phone.
"It's nothing... we have a project now, which may need you to go back to Hopkins Metropolis."
Leo grinned a thin smile, "Get yourself mentally prepared because you'll live in Hopkins Metropolis for quite a long time in the future."
Alan was startled upon hearing it because he thought Leo was exiling him.
He was the richest man in Emerdale, not in Hopkins Metropolis. He wondered why Leo wanted him in Hopkins Metropolis. He couldn't think of any other reason except for being exiled.
However, what Leo said next completely dispelled his doubts.
"Just now, Marcus gave away all the properties of his family, which included his family's cash cow, the J Group. However, the headquarter of the J Group is in Hopkins Metropolis, and it was not controlled by the Wilson family. I appoint you as the new president of the J Group now. You can go take over the whole group right away."
"The Watts family from Hopkins Metropolis is currently controlling the headquarter now. If they try to stop you, just expel them. If they take coercive measures, you can ask Forrest Barker for help and kill them all!"
Leo sounded arrogant when he said that, as if he couldn't care less about the Watts family. Alan also got wound upon hearing that.
Alan realized that Leo wasn't exiling him, but putting him in a critical position.
The Watts family was very formidable, but it had destroyed Alan's own family. Leo was giving him the opportunity to go back at them!
"Thank you, Boss. I'm going to pack my things now and head to Hopkins Metropolis." Alan said excitedly.
"That's great. I'll send you the appointment document of the chairman of the J Group right away."
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Leo got up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Lost in thoughts, he stared at the panoramic view of the whole Emerdale city.
Sallton and Winham were all in his control now. He didn't fear the loyal families in Valenham at all.
Leo was never afraid of them; on the contrary, it was they who should be afraid and tremble before Leo.
Not long after Alan hung up the phone, Lydia hurried into the office.
"Lydia, why are you here?"
Leo looked a bit surprised. Lydia was supposed to be busy at this time of the day. He wondered why he had the time to come to him.
The International Commerce Center staff only knew that Leo and Lydia were a couple rather than that Leo was the building owner. So they didn't suspect it at all.
"The financial department just told me that billions of dollars just flowed into my company's account. Did you do that?"
Lydia asked her, her eyes widely opened.
Leo nodded. "Yes, what's wrong with it?"
"I knew it!"
Lydia sat in front of Leo and asked, "Where do you get that much money? I almost called the police!"
Leo felt a bit awkward, but he understood that anyone who saw so much money being added to his account would call the police immediately. But in fact, the money is completely legal. It was transferred in by Marcus.
"Just use it to help the company go public."
He said with a smile, "The L Group hasn't gone public yet. Once it does, its market value will increase at least ten times."
Knowing that there was nothing wrong with the money, Lydia felt relieved. She pondered for a long while and said, "But I don't want to go public yet."
