The Everlasting Group of Eastcliff belonged to the Leigh Family, one of the Ten Great Families of Eastcliff. It was Isaac Leigh, the heir of the Leigh family, who now managed the company.
Isaac was at work in the morning when a phone call came. "Mr. Leigh, there is a young man outside looking for you, saying that he has something important to report to you!” said his secretary. "Is there an appointment?” asked Isaac, to which the secretary answered, "No.” Isaac was angry. "Why did you call me when there's no appointment then? Don't you know my rules?” The secretary paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "The young man said that it has something to do with President Sandel.” Isaac froze. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let him in!"
It wasn’t long before the secretary led Charlie Cunningham in. Charlie was stunned as he looked around the 200 square-meter office. He thought to himself, This is exactly the life that successful people should lead! What is that little Cunningham Pharmaceuticals in front of all these? If I can befriend Isaac Leigh, I will definitely be better off than Eric Cunningham in the future!
"What is this about?" Isaac looked impatient. If it wasn’t something to do with Leanna, he would never have let this bumpkin into his office. Charlie nodded and leaned forward. "Nice to meet you, Master Leigh. Let me introduce myself, my name is Charlie Cunningham and my grandfather is Eric Cunningham, the chairman of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals.” Isaac waved his hands and said, “I don't need to hear all this nonsense. I'm not interested in your identity, so just tell me something useful.” Charlie seemed like a child to Isaac, and he really couldn’t care less about him. Charlie didn't want to anger Isaac, so he quickly began. "Master Leigh, it's like this. I got news that a guy recently wanted to hook up with President Sandel.” Isaac looked impatient and said, "There are so many people chasing after Leanna. What kind of news is this?” Charlie nodded and continued, "Of course, but this is unusual. The problem is, President Sandel also seems taken with this guy." Isaac's expression changed and he stood up immediately. "What did you just say?” Everyone in Eastcliff knew that Isaac Leigh had been chasing Leanna Sandel all this while, and no one was allowed to get between them. Charlie was also aware of this, and that was why he chose to come to Isaac. He was very satisfied with Isaac’s reaction, and it seemed that he had come to the right person. Isaac approached Charlie aggressively and shouted, "Do you know what you're talking about? How dare you insult Leanna in front of me! Do you think I wouldn’t dare to drown you in Lake Eastcliff! I don’t care who your family is. I can obliterate your whole family with just a snap of my fingers!” Charlie shivered in fear, and quickly said, "Master Leigh, I am speaking the truth. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate." Isaac yelled at him, "F*ck! There have been many who chased Leanna for years, and Leanna has rejected all of them! How can Leanna fall for this small piece of sh*t?"
Charlie rushed to add, "Master Leigh, things are different this time. Usually, President Sandel would not fall for these kinds of tricks. However, this guy chose a different angle—he approached her daughter first."
Isaac's expression changed. He knew that Leanna’s daughter was the apple of her eye. If someone really approached her daughter, it might really move her. "What the hell is going on?" he asked angrily.
Charlie quickly summarized what he knew. “Master Leigh, this incident was completely planned by Matthew Larson. It was Matthew's relative who hit the car, and he himself who sent the child to the hospital, which also happens to be the hospital that he works at. Just think, is this all a coincidence?"
