When seeing that, the two men looked more contemptuous.
“Nice play, huh? Are you texting the director of JP or Mr. Parker?”
Leo suddenly took a surprised look at him, “How do you know?”
Actually, what they said was right. Leo didn’t know anyone from JP. So he was texting Parker.
But the two men laughed out louder.
“You are texting Mr. Parker? So hilarious!”
“Hey, I am sorry for what I just said about Alan. He is actually better than you because he never brags about himself.”
At this moment, both Laura and Jonah were looking at Leo with different attitude.
Now they only deemed him a common guy who only knew how to fight.
“Tough guy, huh?” Laura looked at him, feeling pathetic.
She couldn’t believe Lydia actually married such a loser.
Pathetic!
Leo then showed them the text, “Well, you are right. I was texting Parker.”
As Dillon and Alistair fixed their eyes on the phone, they could saw the name of Parker on the screen.
Soon, they grew more contempt.
“Are you trying to fool us by simply showing us the name of Mr. Parker?”
“Hey, stop playing! Make your choice! You can either join us and fire Alan or the J Group will lose all business in Hopkins forever.” Dillon shouted with his finger pointing at Leo.
Laura stepped forward, “Mr. Cohen, it’s a better choice to have us back into the board again in case the Association feels affronted.”
“Besides, for the sake of Lydia and Kate, let me figure out the real culprit.” She stared at Leo while speaking calmly. She was sure Leo would agree.
But Leo simply shook his head, “Sorry, I have made up my mind.”
“Hey, you idiot…” with a disdainful look, Dillon and Alistair were about to make a call. But then they heard a series of footsteps coming from the gate.
As they looked over there, they saw Forrest coming over with a group of men, among whom Alan was there.
Dillon and Alistair were both stunned. And so were Laura and Jonah.
“Kingston?”
What brought them here?
Laura somehow had bad feelings when seeing them coming over.
“Mr. Cohen, glad to meet you here.” Forrest and his men greeted with great respect.
“Mr. Barker, what brought you here?”
As Dillon collected himself, he asked while staring at Forrest, looking sullen.
He was rendered nervous.
As a member of average level in JP, talking to the head of Kingston appeared really challenging for him.
Obviously, there was a vast difference between their statuses.
Forrest didn’t answer their doubts. Instead, he asked, “Dillon and Alistair, right?”
“Yes.” Both of them seemed tense.
Forrest smiled, “Okay, that’s who I am looking for.”
Then he suddenly exclaimed, “By the order of Mr. Parker, both of you have been expelled from JP.”
What he said jarred them both. They were totally dumfounded.
So were Laura and Jonah. They couldn’t help staring at Leo.
He tried to maintain a calm voice.
But soon, he heard Emmanuel Johnston shouting madly, “From now on, you and Alistair have been expelled from the Association! Forever!”
Then the call was hung up.
The roar of Emmanuel was loud enough to be heard by all of them.
As Dillon and Alistair realized what was happening, their face went ghastly pale as if it were the end of the world.
They kept calling back. But it turned out that their numbers had been blacklisted.
At this moment, Leo walked over with a smile, “Mr. Williamson, Mr. Howard, I told you I wasn’t bragging. Now you finally believe that, huh?”
He shook his head and then left.
Forrest and Alan followed over to leave with him. But they looked quite excitedly.
Of course, Forrest knew a lot more about Leo. But for Alan, he deemed it the greatest fortune ever to be the follower of Leo at the very beginning.
He was so amazed when seeing that Leo could actually text Mr. Parker directly.
At the same time, Laura and Jonah still remained dumfounded for quite a while.
“Really? He knows Mr. Parker?” Laura murmured to herself.
Jonah was stunned. But soon, he shook his head as he seemed to figure out the truth.
“Laura, I don’t think so. Only running a company is not enough for him to get in touch with Mr. Parker.”
Laura looked at him, “So how are you gonna explain the fact that they were expelled as soon as he texted?”
After some consideration, Jonah said, “Mr. Barker is the answer.”
“He must be texting Mr. Barker. Then Mr. Barker reached a deal with Mr. Johnston. That’s why both Mr. Howard and Mr. Williamson were expelled. Mr. Barker mentioned about Mr. Parker just to make Leo’s words a bit more credible.”
Though it sounded reasonable, Laura still found it confusing.
