Supreme Mars novel Chapter 449

Caleb realized that Leo wouldn’t let him go as he saw that bright smile on his face.

Suddenly, he felt a pang of regret. He regretted having got himself into this mess and now he was doomed.

In fact, Caleb wanted to quit when Oakley revealed their identity as the Newmans, the royal family in Valenham.

No matter how beautiful Music Maestro was, she was nothing but a woman.

To Caleb, women were expendable, but Reece wouldn’t leave without her.

Some people would rather be a big fish in a small pound, while others a small fish a big pound.

The Grant family was influential in Hopkins, but there was no room for improvement for them. Caleb and his grandfather had tried everything possible but they made no progress.

So was there nothing they could do?

No, Caleb wouldn’t resign himself to his fate.

The moment he saw the Newman family, there was a gleam of hope. If he gave them whatever they wanted and played up to them, even a marginal Newman would be able to help the Grant family.

Therefore, Caleb made up his mind and things went as he expected… until Leo appeared. His plan was totally ruined by him. Reece was arrested, while Oakley was dead, and now he had no one to rely on.

"What are you going to do with me?" Caleb stared at Leo, trying his best not to sound scared.

Leo smiled. "I have to think it over what I’m going to do with you."

Probably because Leo had gone through too much, and now his enemies had gradually become the royal families in Valenham instead of their rich kids, he didn’t consider Caleb his enemy at all.

Caleb clenched his teeth. "Leo me go, and I’ll help you open up the Hopkins market. As far as I know, after Music Maestro joins Ms. Henderson’s L Group, even the Lawson Group, the top corporation of Emerdale, is no match for it. Now that the Emerdale market is saturated, the Hopkins market will be your next target!"

"Well?" Leo stared at Caleb in surprise. Now he realized why Caleb was the best one of the young generation of the Grant family. He was really smart. Besides, in such a dangerous situation, he was still able to think straight and negotiate with him.

Meanwhile, Lydia obviously got interested in the term Caleb proposed. Hopkins was the provincial capital of Sallton, Winham, and New Queensland. If L Group could be the top corporation in Hopkins, Lydia didn’t need to bow to the royal families in Valenham anymore.

Compared to any other city, Valenham had the longest history. It was one of the most legendary cities in the country, but in terms of economics, it wasn’t leading the way.

However, Lydia said nothing, because this was only the beginning of the negotiation.

Leo said with a smile, "You’re smarter than Brooke Palmer, but not so smart. Do you know why? You know your place and what to do, but you’ve overreached yourself."

Suddenly, Caleb’s heart missed a beat, and he became warier of Leo, because it took his grandfather over ten years to know their own strengths and weaknesses, while Leo could tell at a glance.

"Are you surprised? Actually, I realized what kind of person you were during the auction," Leo continued. "When Brooke was riding the high horse, you took the opportunity to figure out a Plan B for yourself. When he became the underdog, you left him without hesitation to protect yourself, so I’m afraid you have to do more than open up the Hopkins market to get away with this."

"Then what else do you want?" Caleb’s heart sank. He knew Leo was a tough nut to crack.

"Ask you grandfather to come," Leo replied. "Only he is qualified to negotiate with me."

A sense of anger flashed across Caleb’s eyes. "Leo, you’ve gone too far!"

Once Caleb’s grandfather came, his good image would be destroyed, and it was a severe disadvantage to his plan to become the master of the family in the future.

"Then forget it." Leo rose to his feet. "Someone has to pay for all this, and that one is you. Music Maestro is a celebrity in the entertainment industry, so your scandal will spread far and wide. If word gets out, people will know you took advantage of her. You won’t go to jail, but the Grant family will run out of cash."

Caleb realized the gravity of situation before Leo finished his words.

"I’ll call him! I’ll ask my grandfather to come!"

Caleb was at the end of his rope. Admittedly, he would be dressed down by his grandfather, but it was better than the capital chain rupture.

Before long, Lennon arrived. His face clouded over with anger the moment he saw Caleb.

"Are you Leo Cohen?"

Now Leo’s name was known to all throughout Hopkins. He had eliminated the Hudson family, gobbled up the J Group and stolen the show in the auction. Masters of all powerful families had heard about him.
