Chapter 358 Leo Has Changed

In the airport, the sweet voice of the broadcaster could be heard.

"Dear travelers, flight M5223 will be landing soon.To all relatives and friends, please wait in an orderly manner at door number seven.Remember to keep your mask on and stay at least three feet apart.Thank you." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Not long after the broadcast ended, a swarm of travelers walked toward door number seven, pulling their luggage along.

They were all looking for their names among those waiting outside several feet away.

Anavy-blue figure stood out among the crowd.She was pulling a suitcase the same color as her clothes, enhancing her fair, slender fingers that were wrapped around the handle.Her waist, legs, and back were all slim.

Even though her coat went down to her knees, one could tell that she had long legs.

Half of her face was hidden behind her mask.

However, her snowy-white exposed skin and her glowing eyes made people wonder which celebrity she was.

In actual truth, she was a celebrity.

After all, she had more than a hundred million fans.

"Miss Dillon!" A sweet voice alerted the woman who was walking, and when she turned her head in the direction of the voice, she saw a petite lady.

Due to the lady's petite stature, she was jumping among the crowd.

Just as Amelie was about to walk over to the petite lady, someone hugged Amclie's head.

"Welcome back," a familiar woman's voice rang out.

"It's enough to get Casey to pick me up.Why are you here as well?"

Amelie was taken aback when she saw the woman right in front of her wearing a mask and sunglasses, covering herself completely.

"You're my best friend.Naturally, I have to be here!"

Julia's bright eyes were blinking beneath the sunglasses as she pounced on Amelie’s face.

"I've missed you so much!"

Amelie, however, was speechless.She quickly wiped her face while silently observing everyone around her.

Fortunately, everyone in the airport was either looking for someone or talking to someone they had just picked up, so Amelie and Julia both went unnoticed.

"Jules, do you miss my spanking?" Amelie asked as she raised her hand at Julia.

"You're still acting crazy even though you're getting married" she added.

Amelie went abroad two years ago to treat her eyes.

Since treatment required an extended amount of time, she brought her entire family along.She later realized that the air was clean and the environment was suitable for living, so she settled there.She moved the focus of her career there as well, leaving only Starlight Media behind for Julia to manage.

"Getting married isn't some sort of spiritual practice.Why should I be solemn?"

Julia lamented, but her face was radiant with joy.Her original candid and straightforward character now had a tinge of gentleness to it as well.

Seeing her, Amelie knew that Samuel had been treating Julia well for the past two years, and she truly felt happy about that.

"Don't chit-chat here.The car is outside, so let’s get in the car first" said Casey.

The petite lady had run up to them.

Though those in the airport were more cultured and wouldn't be so interested in gossiping at the moment, Amelie and Julia were both well-known figures, and Casey was concerned that something might happen if they continued staying there.She grabbed Amelie's luggage as soon as she finished her words.

"I'll help you with this, Elie."

Julia had hired Casey as an assistant during the last two years, but she was good with her words.She had been referring to Amelie as ‘Miss Dillon’ just moments before, but now, she was addressing her as ‘Elie’.

Seeing that this young lady was adorable and knew how to behave well, Amelie nodded and handed Casey her luggage.

"Good choice," she looked at Julia and spoke, Julia would be devoting her time to her family once she got married.

Though Casey was Julia's assistant, she was actually Julia's successor, especially when it came to running the business.

Hence, Julia deliberately brought Casey here to the airport for her to pick Amelie up.

That way, Amelie would be able to determine whether Casey was a suitable choice as well.

"Really? I was worried that her different temperament from mine would be an issue," Julia remarked.

To that, Amelie responded, "I believe that if we chose someone with a similar style to you, it would appear as though she's imitating you, which will negatively impact everyone's first impression of her.

Thus, we should get someone completely different so that the viewers would feel refreshed."

"You're right.You are indeed a true business master, always looking at things from a different perspective than the rest of us," Julia commented.

If Julia had to pick someone to admire in this life, it would undoubtedly be Amelie.

Amelie didn't get herself involved in many things, but almost everything she did was a classic achievement.

That included the creation of her online persona, Starlight Media, and even Know It, which she later established.

Both Amelie and Julia then got into the car while talking.

The car they got into was an enhanced version of a luxury car, which had everything they needed.

Every seat had a screen in front of it, and every passenger could pick their own shows to watch.

The car was configured to auto-pilot mode, and it drove at a comfortable and steady speed, which felt safer than a driver.

Amelie then clicked on the screen in front of her and began watching the local financial news.

"The following is the most recent news for today, October 13th.Genesis Capital sold all of its shares in Fundview and immediately earned 25 billion from the sale.Such a move triggered the stock market, resulting in a 10-percent drop in Fundview's market value.The confidence of all investors, both companies and individuals, is dwindling and is expected to continue for some time.Despite being in the capital market for only two years, Genesis Capital has achieved excellent results through its unique business vision, and this is not the first time it has achieved such remarkable results in its investments."

"Leo Alston has done a lot in the last two years," Julia said, looking at the screen that was showing the news.

"He initially went on with his usual business, but one day, he abruptly announced that he was entering the capital market.Many people were skeptical of his decision, believing that he would surely lose all of his wealth, but it turned out that for each investment he made, he made a significant profit.I even heard that the money he earned from investments over the last two years is higher than his regular business.Indeed, he has sound investment judgment.Every company he invested in made a fortune, which is why everyone is dying for his investments.Meanwhile, the companies in which he sold his shares experienced nightmares.Everyone regards Leo as the weathervane; whenever he sells off a company’s shares, everyone believes the company will go downhill and shut down soon.Regardless of how well the company is doing now, or how many times its directors or shareholders come out to clarify matters or even show their promising financial reports, all investors will continue to follow Leo"

Julia briefly told Amelie about Leo's career over the last two years, adding, "He's a great businessman!"

After commenting on his career, she moved on to his personal life.

"Not only is his career intriguing, but his relationship is even more so.Many women have thrown themselves at him, and he has refused none, in stark contrast to bean the picky him of the past.He is

now changing his women more quickly than you can imagine! How did such a solemn man in the past become like this? Men will never change, just as a leopard will never change its spots."

Amelie, upon hearing what Julia said, was surprised as well.

Then again, both of them were divorced and had never been in contact for the past two years.

Hence, she wasn't in a position to comment on anything about Leo and didn't want to talk about him either.

"What made you change your mind and decide to marry Samuel?"

Amelie was more interested in this.

Although Samuel had explained the matchmaking incident two years ago, Julia accepted the fact that the Gage Family would never accept her.

Furthermore, she was well aware of what had happened to Amelie’s marriage.Hence, Julia was unwilling to enter into a marriage and had put off the matter for two years.
