There was anger in Lydia’s eyes. When Bertie mentioned the urban construction project, she guessed what Bertie wanted to say, and bluntly refused, “You are dreaming!”
In the eyes of Leo, there was also a dangerous cold light. When Rob was asked to hand over the urban construction project to the L Group, he thought about this possibility.
The other half of the Emerdale River renovation project was in the hands of the Stewart family. If each earned their own money, that’s fine. They were afraid that the Stewart family would be greedy and wanted to grab the urban construction projects of the L Group.
Unexpectedly, it really happened. He even grabbed it in front of him.
In addition, Leo just wanted to ask Bertie something personally. He did not expect Bertie to take the initiative to come to him.
Rejected by Lydia, Bertie was not surprised or angry at all. He smiled thinly, “Ms. Henderson really doesn’t want to think about it? Give us the urban construction project, and the L Group can gain the friendship from the Stewart family. You will have a bright future.”
Saying that, Bertie stretched out four fingers, and his face slightly darkened, “Give you four billion, and sell the urban construction project to me. This money is enough to make your L Group successfully listed. Don’t be ignorant!”
Marcus, who was behind him, and rich princelings attached to Stewart and Wilson’s family also laughed softly.
Four billion was an astronomical sum for ordinary people and even 90% of companies, but for a wealthy family like the Stewart family, it was just a drop in the bucket and was not worth mentioning.
What they wanted to see was how the first female president in Emerdale became meek and subservient to them.
However, Lydia was still unmoved, and she even sneered, “No matter how much money you give, I won’t sell you the urban construction project.”
She was a person with a long-term vision. After completing the urban construction project, the revenue would be more than four billion.
Seeing the determined look on Lydia’s face, the cold look in Leo’s eyes also dissipated.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
A cold look finally appeared in Bertie’s eyes, but he was still not angry. He suddenly looked at Leo, “Who is this?”
A cold light flashed in Leo’s eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Lydia preemptively said, “He is my husband.”
“Oh, he is the one who took away your innocence, disappeared for five years, and left you widowed for five years.”
The speaker was not Bertie. It was Marcus of the Wilson family.
He pretended to look at Lydia in surprise, then he pointed at Leo and said, “Ms. Henderson, you are the first female president of Emerdale, how could you marry such a bastard? Which of the men in the room is not better than him? Could it be that he is a tough guy that can make you realize the joy of being a woman? Hahaha...”
While speaking, he did not forget to tease the two young women who were holding his arms around him.
Lydia’s pretty face was sullen and she scolded in a cold voice, “Please show some respect to my husband.”
At this moment, Leo put down his wine glass and suddenly said, “Before I get angry, you’d better line up and apologize to my wife one by one. Otherwise, when I get angry, you won’t be able to leave.”
All the young masters were startled, and then burst into shocking laughter.
“What did you say? I didn’t catch it. Who can’t go if they want to?”
“You said you will be angry, let me see how you are angry?”
“It’s just a jerk who has relied on Lydia to survive until now. How he dares to speak madly!”
They cursed and laughed, and no one took Leo’s words seriously.
Only Bertie knew a little bit, so he didn’t go to offend Leo. Instead of that, he turned to Lydia and said without a smile, “The president of the dignified L Group actually married a jerk as his wife. I think you don’t want it to be known by everyone in Emerdales, right?”
