No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 386

"Stand firm, and keep your back straight!"
"Dad, are we done yet? I'm tired.”
"Hold this position for 30 minutes!"
The next morning before dawn, from the courtyard came Leo and Emilia’s voices.
Her fists clenched, Emilia was squatting, her face covered with sweat.
Leo, however, was standing in front of Emilia with a serious face, watching her closely so that she wouldn't slack off.
"What are you guys doing so early in the morning?" Hearing their voices, Lydia ran out of the house at once. Her heart broke as she saw Emilia squatting, and she looked back at Leo with a scowl. "Emilia is still a little child! She can’t do that!"
Nevertheless, Leo replied earnestly, "Now that she has decided to practice martial arts, she has to start young, and squatting is the first lesson." After that, Leo ignored Lydia and kept on training Emilia.
Emilia kept grumbling, but she carried on regardless.
"That's enough. Stop.” Lydia couldn't be more worried to see this scene. Truly, she had agreed with Emilia about practicing martial arts, but it was another thing to watch Leo training Emilia.
Lydia scooped Emilia up in her arms. "Emilia is only five. Isn't it too early for her to start practicing now?"
Leo had always been obedient to Lydia, but he stood his ground on this matter. "If she can’t get through this, how will she practice martial arts in the future?"
At this moment, Emilia chimed in through clenched teeth, "I can do it, mom!"
Suddenly, Lydia regretted having allowed Emilia to practice martial arts, because she didn’t want her daughter to suffer from five. No mother would let something like that happen to her own daughter.
However, to Lydia’s surprise, Leo intended to train not only Emilia, but also her.
"Lydia, come one. Join us.”
"What? Me too?" Lydia widened her eyes in astonishment and stared at Leo in disbelief.
Leo, nonetheless, replied seriously, "You're almost 30, and your bones have stopped developing, so it's a waste of time for you to practice martial arts, but it's good for your health, and you can also use it to protect yourself...”
Leo’s intentions were good, but he inadvertently violated a taboo for every woman: her age.
Lydia burst into anger immediately. "Leo, how dare you!"
As much as Lydia didn’t want to do it, Leo still made her squat for an hour, and she was exhausted.
Seeing that, Leo kept shaking his head. "No, you're too weak. From tomorrow, you'll train with Emilia.”
After sending Emilia to kindergarten, Leo and Lydia went to International Commerce Center.
As soon as the two people walked into the office, they saw Caroline waiting for them in a business suit with a file in her hands.
"This is the document I’ve organizedPlease have a look."
"OK."
Leo was quite satisfied with Caroline’s work efficiency. He crossed out a few names and gave it back to Caroline. " Fire these guys in the lists."
At first, Caroline was surprised to hear that, but the next moment, she understood Leo’s intentions. He wanted to fire all the people that disobeyed him.
"Yes!" Caroline was about to leave with the file. However, Leo suddenly stopped her at this moment. "Hold on, Caroline. Why did you jump to Atlas Beauty from Vesper Corporation?"
"I..." Caroline almost spoke the truth, 'Because I want to be closer to you.' But she bit her tongue. "I want to gain some work experience quickly."
“All right." Leo nodded and continued, "The fastest way to gain work experience is to do projects. A vice president may resign in the near future. Are you interested in taking his place?"
"A vice president is about to resign?" Caroline’s eyes popped as she heard what Leo said, because she was stunned by the sudden news and caught unprepared.
"Yes, for some personal reasons," Leo said, his eyes squinting.
Caroline stayed silent for a while and shook her head. She was no longer that little girl who would be elated at promotion.
"Mr.Cohen, I know your intentions are good, but it hasn’t been long before I’m promoted to executive of Foreign Trade
Department. If I get promoted again, the other employees may have complaints against me. I'll take one step at a time. Ifsome day, I play an important role in our company’s development, I won't refuse your offer at that time." Caroline made a slight bow and left the office after she finished her words.
Leo let out a sigh. It was difficult for him to settle on candidates for vice president, and Lydia asked him to do so.
Meanwhile, Caroline went back to her seat, a little disappointed. She thought Leo gave her the opportunity for old times’ sake.
Just at this moment, her phone rang, and the caller ID said “unknown number".
“Hello. Who’s that?"
"Is that Caroline Ford?" A cold female voice came from the other end of the line.
Somehow, Caroline found the voice very familiar. She seemed to have heard it somewhere before.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, "Kate Lawson?" The next moment, Caroline found herself too loud, so she went to a quiet corner and whispered, "Why do you call me?"
“Nothing. I just know what's bothering you," Kate said faintly. "You’re worrying about your marriage, because you love Leo, don’t you?"
“What are you talking about..." Caroline flew into a rage and looked livid, but she didn’t realize it herself.
Kate gave a slight smile. “You can fool yourself, but you can never fool me. If some day, Leo divorced Lydia, would you try your best to pursue your own happiness?"
“What do you want to do?" Caroline’s heart began to race as she heard what Kate said.
“You don’t have to worry about that. All you need to know is that they'll get divorced." Kate paused and went on, “But in exchange, I want to ask you for a little favor. All you have to do is..."
Then Kate whispered something before hanging up.
Meanwhile, Caroline put down her phone, staring.
Leo had no idea that Kate had called Caroline. After work, he went to the Perry Residence.
Millie was already waiting for him at the entrance, and the two of them walked into the house together.
Now the house was filled with gloom, but the living room was actually full of people.
Ryan, Andrew and the other illegitimate children of Frank were sitting on the sofa. Apart from them, some elders from the
Perry family were also there, looking dignified.
Ryan was a little surprised to see Leo and Caroline, and then he looked away, while Andrew rose to his feet immediately and pointed at Millie, roaring, "Why do you come here, slut?"
At first, Millie was wrapped in sadness. However, now that Andrew suddenly attacked her, she burst into anger. "This is my house. Where else should I go? And also, who are you calling ‘slut'?"
“Aren’t you a slut?"
Andrew still remembered what had happened at Hopkins Auction the other day. He suddenly pointed his finger at Millie and said to all the other illegitimate children of Frank, "Brothers, I wonder if you know she is our father’s favorite child. She’s got involved in other people’s marriage, and is dating a loser who lives off his wealthy wife. She’s a shame to the Perry family!"

Leo’s eyes were blazing with fury as he heard Andrew.
