Supreme Mars novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373 Head to the Hotel

After that, Sophia put on a superior expression once again as if it was the greatest honor for her to have some connections with those so-called ‘privileged’ families.

Meanwhile, she cast a disdainful glimpse at both Lydia and Leo.

Actually, she even started to look down upon Lydia.

A few years ago, she had been aggrieved about Lydia’s decision to get her ‘exiled’ from the headquarter. She even started to doubt if Lydia should abdicate from the position. However, she then started her own career smoothly in Hopkins. If it weren't because of her will to revenge on Lydia, she

would have quit and set up her own business in Hopkins.

During the past few years, she built up a lot connections and even affairs with the head of the privileged families here, whom she knew well.

Though there were internal family rules to regulated them, which prevented them from keeping a mistress aboveboard, they still loved to enjoy the affair with Sophia. Both sides chose to keep it going in secret as long as it was kept from being known to others.

Meanwhile, Sophia was sophisticated enough to avoid their bottom lines. She managed to gain proof of those affairs, but at the same time she successfully kept it low-profiled so that those families would never notice.

By utilizing her own skills, she made herself the lover of all the heads of those families.

That was why she needed to ask Lydia here to attend the negotiation, in which she planned to greatly humiliated both her and Leo.

Hearing what she said, Lydia showed a worried face. While Sophia put up greater complacence on her expression. But when she turned to look at Leo, her face seemed to be suddenly frozen.

That was because Leo didn’t even show a tinge of awkwardness. Instead, he sneered, “That's what you mean the ‘privileged’ families?”

From his point of view, those families she just mentioned was small fry to him.

But there was one thing he was surprised about—he had never heard of the conception of ‘affiliate’.

Actually, being the affiliate meant a family relied on a more powerful one to develop its business, from which the more powerful one could get 30% of the annual net profit. As a trade, the powerful family would provide the smaller one with commercial support.

At the thought of that, Leo showed even greater mockery by his smile.

“Loser! You know nothing about their names!” though looking angry, Sophia still curbed her own madness running wild and continued to despise him.

The she added with pride, “A loser like you will never be qualified enough to even sit in the same room with them. Not to mention that you might have heard of their names.”

“Sophia, watch your manner!” Lydia was rendered sullen when hearing her offensive words against Leo.

But Leo didn’t seem to be annoyed. He replied with an easy smile, “Well, since you said they have been the affiliates of the Watts, I wonder if you have heard of something about them.”

He paused for a second and then continued, “The Watts were once at the edge of extermination. And then the head of the Watts had to execute his own grandson to bail themselves out.”

Hearing that, Lydia was stunned—she clearly remembered that Leo once headed to Hopkins to revenge Alan.

So that meant Leo almost damaged the Watts?

Obviously, Sophia knew nothing about it, “What?”

Leo just smiled at her ignorance.

Sophia seemed to lose her patience to continue the talk, “Miss Henderson, it’s time for the conference.”

Then she hurried to enter with Lydia.

Lydia looked over her shoulder to cast him a glance of apology, “Honey, would you mind waiting for a while? I will come to you as soon as it finishes.”

Leo nodded.

Bu Sophia sneered to herself, ‘You wanna get back to your loser husband, huh? I am afraid you will soon be pinned on the bed later..’

As Leo was waiting at the gate for a while, he saw a Black Rolls-Royce parked in his front. Then a gallant-looking middle-aged gentleman got off and walked over

When he noticed Leo standing at the gate, he was a bit surprised, “Mr. Cohen!”

Leo turned to reply with a look and then smiled, “Oh, Mr. Palmer!”

It was none other than Ernie approaching, the head of the Palmer Family.

He looked at Leo in surprise, “Mr. Cohen, what brings you here?”

Leo replied with a smile, “My wife comes here for a business conference. Now I am waiting for her.”

“Alright.”

Ernie nodded as he also knew that his wife, Lydia, had been known as the most charming business lady in Emerdale. It should be a wise choice to treat Leo and his wife with the greatest hospitality, Ernie supposed. He wanna make it a chance to leave

Leo a nice impression.

So he smiled even brighter, “Mr. Cohen, it’s such an honor for me to meet both of you in my city. Would you like to be my guest tonight?”

Leo paused and then smiled to reply, “Alright. Actually, I was planning to have some local dishes tonight with my wife.”
