My Billionaire Husband

After Rebecca, Caroline and Patricia left cockily, William collapsed on the chair and was pretty distressed.

Feeling edgy, William turned to Leo, “Leo, how can you promise them that? Are you trying to make a fool of me?”

Leo sipped the water, “Dad, you said that time is limited, so of course we should start the operation as soon as possible.”

“But we don’t have any machines or workers.”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ve got it.”

Leo then gulped down that water. Seeing that William was still upset, he soothed, “Dad, I would never try to sabotage you. I have enough confidence to make that promise, you know. A clever person would never be tripped over by the same person twice.”

William paused when he heard Leo’s words. Was he referring to Rebecca?

Leo had already accomplished several impossible tasks and William had sensed that Leo must be a dark horse, but people like Rebecca and Caroline still saw him like a good-for-nothing which was quite stupid as who deemed Leo an idiot was the true fool.

“Just wait and see the show tomorrow.” Leo smiled light and then left the meeting room.

Nadine and Forrest were already waiting by the gate of Virgil Cooperation.

They were both looking at Leo in respect and awe.

“Is it all set?” Leo asked.

“Yes, Mr. Cohen. All the people are ready.”

“Boss, the helicopter is in position.”

“Great.”

Leo cracked a smile and then a trace of fierceness swept past his eyes.

“You would like the show in the Ford family.”

As soon as Rebecca went back to home, Jayden Ford asked eagerly, “How did it go? Did William sell us the project?”

Rebecca shook her head, “No, my husband is pretty stubborn and won’t budge.”

“What? He didn’t want to sell it?” Jayden was furious.

Rebecca giggled, “Dad, don’t be so angry. Though he won’t sell it to us now, we can get that project for free tomorrow.”

Jayden looked Rebecca in surprise, “What do you mean?”

Rebecca’s smile deepened and Jayden urged, “Just tell me! What are you waiting for?”

Rebecca then chuckled, “Well, we got to thank that dumb Leo.”

“Leo?”

Jayden’s face changed and he suddenly shuddered when he recalled Leo’s indifferent look.

He didn’t really understand why would Rebecca and Caroline see him as an idiot when he just couldn’t figure out what he was thinking about.

“Such a wet blanket.”

“Right.”

Caroline beamed, “That idiot is doing us a huge favor. How dared him to say that he can initiate the project tomorrow and even invite us to see them.”

“Start the project tomorrow? It can’t be! I asked them to break all the equipment there and all the workers had all been expelled. How is he going to start?”

Henry who was on a stick suddenly yelled.

Ever since that one of his legs was hit by Jayden, he was increasingly high-melted and would be triggered easily.

Jayden glanced at him and said, “Shut up! Let Caroline continue!”

Henry then got silent but his eyes grew colder.

Caroline then added, “Grandpa, Henry is actually right. My dad’s factory is totally dysfunctional now. He wouldn’t get things started in a month, let alone tomorrow.”

“My mom had made a deal with that idiot and said that our whole family would go to the site tomorrow. If they can’t initiate the project tomorrow, they would give us the project for free. What a wonderful deal, right?”

“Really? That damn idiot. How can he have the guts to say that?”

“Rebecca is truly competent and can tame that William well.”

Hearing Rebecca’s words, all the family members started buttering up Rebecca.

Jayden instantly grabbed Caroline’s hand excitedly, “Did he really say that?”

“Yeah, sure.”

Caroline replied cockily, “Well he must get desperate and just wants to ruin everything.”

Jayden then frowned and was pretty worried, “Well, does he have any back-ups? He wouldn’t be so confident then.”

“How on earth does he have any back-ups?”

Rebecca laughed, “Well, he just knew some bad-ass friends, but they won’t just always help him, so I bet that he wouldn’t be able to start the project tomorrow.”

Jayden was instantly relieved.

“But dad you got to watch out.”

Rebecca continued, “He has about 0. 88 billion sponsorship fee now and have finance staff in L Group to manage the money for him. This is a pretty hefty amount of money. If Leo is willing to give William this money to hire workers…”

Jayden nodded and said sternly, “Tell everyone in the industry not to work for the Virgil Cooperation. We Ford family definitely have this kind of power in the Emerdale.

Rebecca was excited, “They would definitely not make it work then!”

“Tell everyone in our family to all go to the Virgil Cooperation at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning!”

Jayden ordered confidently.

“Yes!”

All the family members replied and all waited for the morning merrily.

Everyone single one of the family members in the Ford family went to the Virgil Cooperation early in the morning on the second day.

Leo and William were already waiting in the open lot when they arrived.

“Leo, didn’t you promise to initiate the project?”

Rebecca marched forward and sneered when she saw no worker or any equipment in sight.

“I really don’t see that you two can start this operation.”

All the family members in the Ford family roared with laughter.

“Leo, you can well be a fool yourself, but why do you have to bring my dad along?”

Caroline asked domineeringly, “There is not a single worker in this factory. How are you going to get started? You’re asking for humiliations, you know.”

Jayden coughed and then walked towards William, “William, we are a family and don’t have to make things so awkward. We merely want to help you out.”

Then he scanned around the battered factory and continued, “You have neither workers nor machines here and we can provide both of them for you. Of course we wouldn’t treat you unfairly if you let us handle this project, right?”

William remained silent and turned to Leo.

Leo told him to wait in this open lot early in the morning and said that there would be people here, but he didn’t see anyone, so he too started doubting Leo.

Leo was still calm and replied lightly, “They should be here soon. Just wait and see.”

“Your lie is about to be exposed. Are you still going to hold it?”

Caroline looked at Leo in despise, “You are never going to make it today. Just give us the project and we might give you some money for the old times’ sake.”

Rebecca then stopped Caroline to let her not be so aggressive.

Then she said to Leo, “We’re here as we’ve promised, but when exactly are you going to start the project? Are we just going to wait here?”

“We’re all quite busy. Time is money. We got no time to waste here.”

All the other family members of Ford family agreed.

They actually knew that Leo wouldn’t be able to hire any people and was just trying to save his face.

They were eager to see the way that Leo was humiliated.

But Leo was undisturbed and said seriously after checking the time, “They will be here in three minutes.”

Rebecca chortled, “All right then. I will give you three more minutes. But if you fail to deliver your promise, we Ford family would have this project.”

“Sure.” Leo smiled.

But no one was in sight after three minutes.

Rebecca sneered and said to Leo, “Well, time is up and you failed. Just give us the project…”

Before she can finish her sentence, the sound of roaring engine approached and a huge shadow shrouded them.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

All the people looked up subconsciously and all froze.

An aircraft was hovering above their head.
