Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

After Charlie uploaded the video, he waited online with a serious expression, wearing a pair of reading glasses.

“Susan, how do I check the comments? Could you open them and read them for me? I want to know what people are saying.”

Susan was moved and helpless at the same time.

She warmly said, “Grandpa, I don’t care about how people view this. You don’t have to transfer your property to me just because of this small matter.”

Charlie waved his hand dismissively. “My minor property is nothing! The key is to show those people my attitude. Okay, Susan, don’t dwell on these minor details. Quickly read me what those people are saying.”

Susan opened the comments section and read them carefully for Charlie.

“Is Mr. Landor really in his 80s? He looks like he’s in his 60s. He really looks young.”

Charlie laughed, saying, “This person has good taste. Not bad, not bad.”

“Wah wah wah, giving away houses and money so easily. Grandpa, do you still need a granddaughter– in–law?”

As Charlie heard this, his expression turned serious. He couldn’t help but say, “Susan, reply to this person. I only have one grandson, and he already has a wife. A young girl can’t ruin others‘ families!”

Susan chuckled and explained, “Grandpa, she doesn’t really mean that. It’s just a joke that implies you’re such a great grandpa that people envy your family life.”

“Is that right?” Charlie furrowed his brows but still muttered, “I really don’t understand young people nowadays.”

However, Charlie was initially quite pleased, so he urged Susan to continue reading.

w one.

She selected some comments that praised Charlie and read them one by

Charlie’s face lit up.

In the end, he summed it up, saying, “Young people these days are quite interesting. In the future, I can go online more

often.”

After that, Charlie asked Susan again, “Don’t just read the comments related to me. Are there any comments about you?”

Susan’s heart was touched by this, and she replied warmly, “Grandpa, how those people see me doesn’t matter. The whole world is jealous that I’ve married such a great husband and have such a good grandpa like you. Let me show you what’s trending now.”

Susan handed her phone to Charlie.

He leaned in to look and read it out slowly, saying, “Susan must have saved the world in her previous life?”

At first, Charlie didn’t understand, so Susan hurriedly explained it to him.

Charlie then burst into laughter. “People nowadays have such interesting ways of speaking.”

Charlie asked Susan to click on it and read some related comments, all while showing great interest. Then, he yawned contentedly.

“Dad, it’s time for your nap,” Penelope said hurriedly.

Charlie stood up,

back you.”

yawned, and said, “I’m going to take a nap. Susan, If there are any more rumors online, tell me, and I will

Susan smiled and nodded, saying, “Okay,”

Charlie turned around and went back to his room.

Penelope hesitated for a while and walked up to Susan.

“Penelope, what’s wrong?” Susan asked proactively.

Penelope said with some guilt, “Susan, this whole thing was completely caused by Leo. My heart really… really…”

Susan shook her head. “Leo is Leo, and you are you. You don’t have to carry any psychological burden for this.”

Penelope smiled bitterly and said, “He came out of my womb. How can I separate it so clearly? Susan, I know my son. Although he is ambitious, his abilities are limited. He can’t do these things on his own. Someone must be instigating him from behind.”

“I know.” Susan nodded.

Penelope hesitated for a while and said, “I don’t want to watch him continue on this wrong path. Could you let me see him and persuade him face–to–face?”

Susan was stunned.

Penelope hurriedly added, “If it’s inconvenient, just forget it.”

Susan shook her head. “Penelope, there’s nothing inconvenient for me. I’m just afraid that you’ll be disappointed after you

see him.”

If the previous Leo had some remnants of humanity, then the current Leo appeared monstrous and gloomy, filled with both self–doubt and arrogance.

He has completely transformed into a different person.

Ever since he was young. Penelope had always demanded the best from Leo, even sending him to prestigious schools to complete his education.

Despite her continuous disappointment in him, seeing Leo in his current state would surely bring her even more disappointment

time.”

If Leo would listen, then he could still live a stable life.

But if he doesn’t listen, Penelope would truly be too ashamed to beg for mercy from Ben’s subordinates again.

Susan thought for a moment and agreed, “I understand. I’ll talk to Ben and ask him to make arrangements.”

“Alright, thank you,” Penelope said gratefully.

Susan then informed Ben about this matter.

Although Ben didn’t think it was necessary to see Leo at all, but since Susan had spoken, Ben reluctantly agreed.

After all, Leo was his half–brother, so he should handle things properly.

Ben directly invited Leo to the Landor residence.

In the hotel room, both Leo and Isabella had unpleasant expressions as they watched the reversal of public opinion online.

“Why would Grandpa support that woman and give her so much wealth?” Leo gritted his teeth.

In Leo’s eyes, he was the only person capable of carrying on the Landor family’s legacy. All that wealth should belong to

him

“Grandpa must have been forced.” Isabella refused to accept this reality.

“It must have been Ben’s doing,” Leo said somewhat crazily, “I must expose this matter.”

He placed his hands on the keyboard and typed out his thoughts.

Leo believed that there would be people who would agree with him.

But not only did no one support him, there wasn’t even anyone opposing him.

The comments he posted disappeared into the vast ocean without causing even a ripple.

Leo felt cold inside and couldn’t help but contact the mysterious person who had helped him before.

But after waiting for a long time, he received no response.

He couldn’t believe that person had actually abandoned him, too.

Leo felt powerless as he slumped into his chair.

He thought, ‘How… could this happen…

Isabella also grew anxious.

This time, they had abandoned everything to return to Coraland, thinking that once they returned, they could cling to Charlie. and then compete for the family fortune with his help.

But now. Charlie openly supported Susan, and they didn’t even have a chance to meet him, let alone receive his help.

Now, they couldn’t even stir up any waves online.

Even the mysterious person had stopped helping them.

What else could they do?

Isabella clenched her teeth tightly.

She just couldn’t understand, thinking, ‘As a reborn person, why is everything going against me? Could it be that the heavens allowed me to be reborn just to let me know that my previous life was actually not bad at all?‘

Isabella refused to accept this.

She believed that the heavens wouldn’t treat her this way!

Just at that moment, Leo’s phone began to ring.

Isabella couldn’t help but look over with anticipation.

She thought, ‘Is it the mysterious person? Yes! He hasn’t given up on us yet. That mysterious person has quite a bit of power. As long as he continues to help us, we still have hope.”

When Leo answered the phone, a surprised look appeared on his face.

After he hung up the phone, Isabella couldn’t wait to ask, “Is it that mysterious person?”

Leo smiled in satisfaction, saying, “Mysterious person? Is that necessary? It’s Ben! He personally had someone call me and asked me to

go to the Landor residence tomorrow.”

The more Leo thought about it, the prouder he became. “I knew it. The issue of infertility cannot be taken lightly. I suspect that Grandpa made the arrangements online just for show. In reality, he still cares a lot about this matter. This time, Ben called us to the Landor residence, most likely at Grandpa’s request.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“That makes sense.” Isabella also became excited.

She thought, “I knew that the heavens wouldn’t treat me like this!

My good days are still ahead of me

The next day, Leo and Isabella dressed up and happily went to the Landor residence.

The butler led them to the hall.

living room, looking at

a document.

لل

When he saw the two of them enter, he raised an eyebrow casually.

He called a servant and was about to ask her to bring Penelope.

Π

But Leo had already sat down across from Ben in a carefree manner.

Then he cheerfully said, “Ben, when you forced Grandpa to kick me out of the Landor family, did you ever think that you would end up like this?”

Ben glanced at him and casually put away the document.

“You don’t have to pretend to be calm anymore,” Leo said eagerly, “You can only deceive those netizens. Being childless! How could Grandpa really not care about such a serious matter? Don’t think that I don’t know why you called me here today.”

Ben looked at him and calmly asked, “Oh?”

Leo coldly snorted and said, “After discussing it with Isabella all night, I probably know what you are thinking.”

When she heard Leo mention her name, Isabella immediately straightened her back.

“What am I thinking?” Ben looked at this couple as if he were looking at two clowns.

Leo became even more proud, and he said in a cold voice, “Don’t you want to adopt our child?”

Ben was at a loss for words.

“Still pretending?” Leo disdainfully said, “I’ve thought about it. This is the only way. You can’t have children, which is quite pitiful. But I’ve taken our brotherhood into account, so in the future, my child can also be adopted by you. But I have two

conditions.”

Ben looked at him with interest.

After not seeing him for a while, he didn’t know that his brother suddenly had such a superb talent for comedy.

Ben didn’t say anything, and Leo thought he had agreed.

He proudly said, “The first condition is that in the future, all your property, Grandpa’s property, must be left to my child.”

He added, “Including the Storm Group.

Leo felt that he had thought it through very clearly.

He thought, ‘Ben’s property can’t be directly inherited by me.

But letting my son inherit it would be the same.

After all, that is my biological son, In the future, would my son still be able to favor me?

Whenever Leo thought about how Ben had worked his whole life for Leo’s son, he couldn’t help but feel excited.

Ben laughed when he heard this. He asked, “And the second condition?”

Leo thought that Ben meant that he agreed to the first condition.

So, Leo became even more excited, and he sold as if it was a matter of course, “If you want to adopt my child, you have to give me some benefits. How about giving me 200 million dollars as my startup

fund? Otherwise, I can’t give you my son.”

*200 milion dollars?” Ben looked at him with concern. “Is a mere 200 million dollars enough?”

As Leo heard the offer, his heart leaped with joy, and he forcibly maintained his composure as he responded, “If you want to give more, I certainly won’t mind.”

Ben drawled, saying. “How about one billion dollars?”

Leo’s face lit up. That’s acceptable! That’s acceptable.”

Ben continued, “What about two billion dollars?”

“What about two billion dolla

Leo’s face showed greed. “The more, the better. The more, the better. When do you plan on giving me this two billion dollars?”

As Leo was getting excited, suddenly, a pen flew towards him.

Instinctively, he dodged to the side.

Behind him, Isabella was caught off guard and was hit in the face by the pen.

Isabella couldn’t help but rage.

She thought, ‘My son is about to inherit the Storm Group. How could someone have the audacity to throw a pen at me?”

Isabella was about to scold, but then she saw Charlie, with a gloomy look on his face, walking towards her.

Susan and Penelope were on both sides of him, accompanying him.

Judging by their movements, it was true that Charlie had thrown the pen.

Isabella immediately shut her mouth and dared not say anything.

“Grandpa, what are you doing?” Leo, however, was not so self–aware. He grumbled,” We were discussing business with my

brother.”

Charlie found it hilarious. “Who are you calling Grandpa and brother? Don’t forget that you’re no longer one of the Landor family!”

“This blood relation is inherent. How could it break so easily?” Leo said, “Grandpa, rest assured. Although what you and my brother did in the past was excessive, now that we are family, as long as my brother pays the money, I am willing to have the child adopted by you.”

Leo was getting more and more shameless.

Charlie raised his cane and went to hit him.

Leo rushed to dodge.

Although Charlie was getting older, his movements were still agile. His cane was intimidating, and he specifically dimed for

Leo’s body.

“Two billion dollars? Dream on! Adoption? Leo, why don’t you go dream!”

Charlie didn’t understand.

Although Leo was shameless before, he was at least somewhat subtle in his shamelessness.

But now, he was downright shameless.

Leo was stunned by the hits. He dodged and said, “Why are you hitting me? I haven’t said anything wrong. If brother’s lineage is about to end, I can give my child to him to continue our bloodline.”

Charlie stopped hitting him and coldly said, “If the Landor family’s bloodline consists of people like you, then let it end with this generation!”

Leo widened his eyes. “What did you say? I know you’re pretending to be like this out of respect for my brother, but if you hi me again, I’ll really leave! And the Landor family bloodline will really come to an end.”

Charlie was speechless.

He raised his cane and was about to continue hitting him.

Penelope stopped him.

When Leo saw Penelope stop Charlie, he was actually touched.

He thought, ‘Sure enough, my mother is always my mother! She is always on my side.

But the next moment, Penelope said gently, “Dad, are you tired of hitting him? Let me take over.”

Leo was dumbfounded.

Penelope took the cane and hit Leo one after another, with even greater force than Charlie’s.

Leo was hit and ran away while holding his head in a bad state.

He thought, ‘What did I do wrong? Why do you want to hit me?”
