"Master?!"
"Grandpa, what happened?"
Outside of the President's Office, everyone had heard Marco roaring in rage. He sounded like a desperate and helpless beast that had just lost his cub.
A man rushed over to Lydia and asked with his face full of anger, "What's your good-for-nothing husband doing to my grandpa?"
"Why would I know?"
Lydia gave him a stern look, looking indifferent.
Although she was saying that, she was shocked, too. They were just in there for seconds. She wondered why Marco was screaming as if there was a ghost in there?
Bang...
A short while later, the door was opened again. Leo and Marco came out one after the other.
However, the two's vibe looked utterly different now.
Leo was as calm as he just was. His arching lips and slight smile make him look calm and dignified as if he was a young master from some wealthy family.
However, Marco was very pale as if he had lost his soul. He could barely walk steadily. One stumbling, he almost fell.
"Grandpa!"
Young people of the Wilson family all stepped forward to support Marco, which saved him from falling on the ground.
"Grandpa, what did he do to you in there? Did her beat you?"
"Grandpa, you don't have to be afraid, just say it... I'll ask someone over to kill him..."
Everyone was staring at Leo in anger. Lydia also looked at Leo curiously, wondering what he had said to Marco in the office, and what was making Marco so angry and scared.
"Shut up!"
Marco, whose face had always been pale, suddenly roared with anger on his face.
All the Wilsons were stunned by this roar. They stared at Marco, not knowing.
Only Leo gave Marco a thoughtful look, making Marco's face twitch in anger.
"Let's go back home!" Marco suddenly gave an order.
"What?"
The expressions of the Wilsons changed dramatically. They looked at their family patriarch in disbelief.
They came to the L Group aggressively and claimed that they'd acquire it, but they left in a fluster in the end. Their faces blushed and felt burning hot, as if they had been slapped...or even worse, they felt Marco had slapped his own face.
"I said let's go back home!"
Marco was hopping mad. He was talking to the Wilson family while his eyes were fixed on Leo.
All the members of the Wilson family looked at Marco in fear. Their family patriarch was on the verge of breaking out now, but he was no longer as arrogant and clamoring as before. They're leaving in fluster.
"Mr. Wilson, a little tip... I'll just wait until this evening."
Leo narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "As soon as the sun sets and I still don't get what I want, we'll have a problem."
Marco's old body trembled, but he didn't look back.
As soon as he stumbled out of the L group, he stopped and said to Ted, "Tell them to return the property annexed from the Stewart family. And... give our the J Group to the L Group!"
"Why? Sir?"
As soon as the two orders came out, all the Wilson family members looked at Marco in disbelief.
The J Group was the largest Internet group of the Wilson family. It meant a lot to Emerdale, and even to the whole country. They couldn't believe Marco just gave it to the L Group for nothing.
Ted seemed to have realized something. He didn't say anything, but his expression was getting growing complicated.
"Why are you still here?"
As Marco roared, his facial features twisted.
Everyone was taken aback. They could only get back and get the business done no matter how unwilling they were.
Leo called Lydia and told her that he wouldn't be back for dinner. He also asked to pick pick up Emilia at school.
Lydia didn't ask much as usual. She told him to come home early and hung up the phone.
Leo looked at the time, and then narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Marco had stopped caring about his grandson's life.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard a clatter of footsteps approaching.
"Mr. Cohen?"
As soon as he saw the person, Leo squinted and smiled, "Mr. Wilson, you arrived just in time."
Marco then said unsmilingly, "There were so many things to do. It has taken me a while."
Marco didn't bring many people. There was only Ted with him. Both of them had changed into black neat suits.
Marco handed over a thick stack of documents and said, "This is the equity transfer agreement of the J Group. Sign it if you agree on it."
"And... we've also returned all the property from the Stewart family. Can I meet my beloved grandson now?"
Leo casually skimmed the contract. After two glances, he lost interest in it and looked at Marco with a half-smile.
"I'm surprised that you are willing to give up your huge business for the sake of your grandson."
"Of course I am."
Marco looked serious. "He's my grandson. No matter how prosperous our family is, it wouldn't last long if he died."
That was true. Marcus is the only heir to the Wilson family. If he died, the Wilson family wouldn't be prosperous for long.
After all, Marco was over 70 years old.
"Alright then, I'll take you to see Marcus."
Leo got up and walked out of the office.
Marco and Ted looked at each other, with wicked killing intent flashing in their eyes.
