Meanwhile, Leo and the others remained in the box, while Michelle, Lydia and Music Maestro stared at him in astonishment.
"Are you really going to do it?" Lydia asked worriedly. "The Grant family isn’t like any other family that has yielded to you. They are strong, powerful and ambitious. Aren’t you afraid that the plan backfires?"
Music Maestro nodded approval. She knew nothing about business, but she understood the simple truth.
Leo, however, gave a smile. "Of course I know what they are thinking about, but whatever they can think of I can think of. The Grant family will definitely develop themselves secretly before they finally betray me!"
"Then why do you have to…" Lydia was confused.
Leo replied faintly, "The plan is sure to backfire, but what matters is on whom."
As a smart woman, Lydia pondered for a moment and caught on immediately.
"So you want to…"
"Exactly," Leo said with a confident smile. "There doesn’t have to be so many powerful families in each city. One or two are enough. In that case, even if they betray me, it will only hasten their collapse," Leo said in an arrogant tone. He didn’t take the Grant family seriously at all.
Lydia cast a look at Leo, saying nothing. He was so confident that he even thought nothing of the royal families in Valenham. Therefore, even if the Grant family betrayed him, they could barely cause a ripple.
"The Hopkins will be our next battlefield…" Lydia mumbled to herself, meditating.
Now Hopkins was dominated by three families, the Grant family, the Palmer family and the Watts family. Before long, the Northernland Conference would also be held here. It wasn’t hard to see that a storm was brewing up in Hopkins. Understandably, it wasn’t a wise choice for the L Group to open up the Hopkins market at this point. However, what came along with danger was money. The more chaotic the situation was, the more heroes would emerge. That was also the way of doing business.
Leo and Lydia went home after they sent Michelle and Music Maestro back to the hotel.
On the way, Lydia suddenly said to Leo, "I may be busy in the next few days, so you have to pick up Emilia."
Leo agreed at once since he knew Lydia was busy with her business.
Music Maestro was quite influential. She had only given one concert at the L Group, and now giants of all industries were scrambling to work with Lydia. With that, the L Group’s market value doubled and surpassed the Lawson Group’s, and it had become the top corporation of Emerdale.
In addition, all this happened before the L Group was floated on the stock market. Once it went public, it would result in a geometric increase in its market value.
The next morning, Leo was feeding breakfast to Emilia carefully.
Emilia looked around, but failed to see Lydia, pouting.
"Dad, where’s mom?"
Now that she was used to Leo’s existence, Emilia didn’t cling to him so much as before, but paid equal attention to them.
"Mom is busy working." Leo put a spoonful of oatmeal into Emilia’s mouth with a smile.
Emilia swallowed and suddenly jerked her head up proudly. "Dad, I’ve mastered what you taught me the other day."
After that, she jumped off the chair and played the Lightning Boxing in front of Leo.
Leo watched her, smiling, but after some time, he could no longer smile.
Emilia was doing it very seriously, and her movements were standard and quite professional.
Even if she was no match for the real fighters, Emilia was so much better than her peers, even children three or four years older than her. At least, Leo didn’t have to worry if she got bullied.
When she finished practicing, Emilia panted slightly, sweat glistening on her forehead.
Leo stared at her in surprise. "Emilia, did you do you on your own?"
"Of course!" Emilia nodded earnestly. "I practice every day in the kindergarten. When the others are taking a nap, I’m practicing."
Leo was moved to hear that.
