No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 75

When William woke up, he instantly saw Leo who was sitting next to him and looking at him with a gentle smile.

"How long was I asleep?" He sat up from the sofa and asked.

"The whole afternoon." Leo handed him a cup of coffee and said, "Dad, alcohol doesn't do any good to your health. You should drink less."

He continued after a pause, "At least don't drink alone. It's too easy to get drunk that way."

William heaved a long sigh and said, "Thank you for everything today, Leo."

Suddenly, his face became weird as if he had thought of something. "Leo, did I say anything strange when I was drunk?"

Leo paused a little, then replied with a faint smile, "You just rambled a bit. Nothing serious."

William's face changed colors for a long time and he said, "Leo, can you promise me one thing? Don't tell Caroline about it. If she knows, she will be devastated."

"I know." Leo nodded with understanding. He thought, "If Caroline finds out that her mother is William's second wife, she will definitely feel betrayed."

After a moment of silence, Leo said again, "Dad, haven't you thought about finding your first daughter?"

"It's impossible." William waved his hand and said with mixed feelings, "And even if I found her, I wouldn't go to meet her. We're all living peaceful lives, why should I break that?"

Leo didn't say anything but thought, "With one word from him, I can help him find her daughter at once. But just like he said, the fewer people know, the better."

Leo looked at William who was still frowning tightly and said, "Dad, don't worry too much. They will be punished for turning to the Lawsons. And it won't take long for them to realize that it's their best choice to have remained here instead."

"Alas, how could I not worry?" William was still gloomy and troubled. "I've signed the contract with Atlas Beauty and we need more hands now. At such a critical moment, they have all been poached away. What could I do alone?"

"Why not?" Leo poured himself a cup of coffee as well and said with a smile, "Dad, talk to me if you have any difficulties. Maybe I can help."

William cast a glance at Leo and said, "Leo, I know that you're the kindest and most loving person in our family, but there is nothing you can do about it."

"Dad, when have I ever failed you?" Leo did not defend himself but only sat there upright and stared at his father with bright piercing eyes.

William froze for an instant when he saw Leo smiling so confidently.

It suddenly occurred to him that it was true that Leo had never failed him all these years.

He thought, "Even for those impossible tasks in the past, he managed to finish them with flying colors. First, the bidding, then the disputes with the O'Brien’s and the Perry’s. Perhaps, he will work his magic again..."

"Alright then!" William made up his mind and said, "Atlas Beauty will hold a dinner party tomorrow evening to promote and advertise their new product. Many media outlets and celebrities will be there to endorse the product. I need to solicit sponsorships of over 10 million dollars for Atlas Beauty before the party. If I fail, our family's name will be stained. And I'm afraid that no one will cooperate with us again in the future."

But surprisingly, Leo also rubbed his chin meditatively and said, "It's a bit difficult to raise ten million dollars within a day and a half..."

William could not help feeling a little disappointed and said after a deep sigh, "There was still some hope when we had some extra hands. But they all turned to the Lawson family yesterday, and I'm the only one left. I want to pull it off, but just can’t do it on my own."

Leo understood William's difficulties and when he was about to speak, Nadine called.

She said only three words, "He's here."

Leo nodded and said, "Okay."

He hung up the phone.

Then, he rose to his feet and said to William, "Dad, leave this matter to me. I will raise ten million before the dinner party tomorrow. I have to go and meet someone now."

He then walked toward the door.

But when he was still in the living room, the other Ford's returned home with gloomy expressions.

Everyone looked indignant and also exhausted.
