CHAPTER 438 GIVE AWAY ATLAS
“Music Maestro?” he paused when hearing that.
He remembered he had nothing to talk to her.
Ever since he was discharged from the army, he had dismissed the Seven Maestros of Winbury.
Though they still chose to be his followers on their own wills, Leo never turned to them unless he was
badly in need.
“Yes, it’s her.” Nadine answered through the phone.
“She has planned to arrange a performance of classical music in Hopkins. But she suddenly changed
her mind and decided to make it in Emerdale. Now she has arrived.”
After a silence for a few seconds, he said, “I will meet her tomorrow.”
He hung up the phone and stared at the sky, lost in thought.
Of course, he could tell what was in her mind behind this sudden arrival.
As Leo returned home, someone sweet and intoxicating rushed over before he could utter.
Then, a warm hug wrapped around him.
Leo paused for seconds out of surprise. Then he let out a soft smile and hugged Lydia into his arms.
“Why don’t you go to bed?” he smiled to ask.
“I am waiting for you.”
Her eyes seemed a bit bloodshot, “Emilia is asleep. But I can’t sleep well before you return.”
She continued after a short pause, “What about my family?”
Leo could tell what she was asking about, “Rebecca still wanna conspire against you with the help of
the Fords. But she got caught on spot and held arrested.”
Hearing that, Lydia fell into silence.
Now a nice family had been falling apart.
At the thought of that, Lydia couldn’t help sighing from the perspective of a mother of two, “Why? Why
did she do that?”
Lydia asked, “Just because I am the first daughter of my father? Why did she keep such great hatred
against me?”
Leo could tell how aggrieved she felt. But it was too complicated for her to keep herself away from
being targeted among all those issues over interest.
“It’s okay. From now on, you are free from any kind of threat.”
Leo replied with a warm look, “Rebecca was arrested and so were the rest of the Fords who got
involved. It’s a good news for us.”
Lydia nodded, “It doesn’t matter to me whatever happens to the business. I want nothing but a peaceful
life with you.”
“No!” Leo shook his head and said seriously, “Risk always comes with opportunity. If we get through the
crisis this time, Atlas would be stronger!”
But Leo didn’t intend to tell Lydia about the arrival of Music Maestro.
Actually, he planned to handle the crisis in his own way. But he changed his plan because of Music
Maestro.
The next morning, Leo took Lydia to his office located in the top floor of International Commerce
Center.
“Who are we going to meet?”
Lydia looked a bit confused.
So did Michelle, who was also noticed by Leo.
He simply answered while taking a sip of tea, “You will know later.”
At this moment, his phone buzzed.
Leo picked it up and nodded, “Bring her in.”
Then the door was opened. An eye-catching lady in elegant suit walked in.
Both Michelle and Lydia were amazed when seeing her at the first sight.
Actually, she wasn’t a lady with alluring face. But she really impressed whoever she met every time she
showed up.
Her eyes shone like galaxy and her fair face felt glowing amazingly.
Before she could get closer to the front, the fragrance from her body overwhelmed the room in
advance.
She was wearing a pure veil on her face. Only her shining eyes were clearly revealed in the air.
Behind her she was followed by two girls in simple suit. She looked like a goddess leading her most
loyal followers.
“Judith?”
“Master?”
Both Lydia and Michelle exclaimed surprisedly with happiness.
It was exactly Judith, the nationwide Music Maestro known to all, a real guru of music of all kinds.
Judith greeted in nice voice, “My lord, she must be Mrs. Cohen, I suppose. Nice to meet you.”
‘My lord?’ Lydia was surprised by the way she addressed Leo.
She cast an amazed look at Leo, being impressed by him once again.
Judith then looked at Michelle, “Michelle, have you been practicing as hard as required?”
“Of course, master.” Michelle bowed.
She had been practicing what she learned from Judith even after she became the chairwoman of
Sunny Entertainment.
Judith nodded, “Good.”
Lydia was rendered too shocked to comment. Judith, the Music Maestro that caused an ongoing craze
among the upper class, actually showed up in the flesh.
Judith looked at Leo again and smiled, “My lord, I have been fully updated so far. I suggest we arrange
the performance right over here, may I?”
Leo nodded, “Okay.”
After everything was settled, Judith left.
But Lydia still found it hard to get away from the feeling of being shocked.
Judith was planning for a performance here, inside the building of Atlas?
If so, not only the crisis this time would be easily dissolved, but it would be a significant promotion for
Atlas nationwide.
Every single performance of Judith would attract the most influential people all over the country.
She looked at Leo to ask for answer seriously, “Tell me! How do you know her? What’s your
relationship with her? Be honest to me!”
Leo answered, “She used to work for me.”
Lydia looked a bit sullen, “You are fooling me again.” All content is property © .
Though she knew Leo actually enjoyed a status much more noble than hers, she still found it too
incredible to believe that Judith used to work for him.
Leo simply replied with a smile. He didn’t intend to explain further even though Lydia didn’t buy it.
“Miss Henderson!” Hans suddenly rushed in, looking panic, “Mr. Jenkins is coming in again!”
Lydia hurried to stand up, “Bring him in!”
Her face showed a tinge of worry.
Undoubtedly, Brandon was here to take over the company.
Leo then followed Lydia to the office of Atlas, where Brandon was sitting to expect them with his legs
crossed.
Seeing them enter, he cast a file to their front.
“Miss Henderson, due to the horrible financial damage the Atlas brought us, I require an extra
compensation of five hundred million for your breach against the contract, which has been stipulated
beforehand. Of course, the ownership of Atlas worth five billion has been included within the
compensation as well.”
“As written within the contract, you shall pay it off in this week. Or I will see you in court.”
“Here is the agreement of ownership transfer. You can check if it’s necessary for some adjustment
about the terms. If not, please sign your name.”
Lydia looked awkward, “Mr. Jenkins, I suggest we negotiate to reach another solution. I am afraid I
can’t transfer Atlas to you. But I will still pay off the six billion in total.”
Brandon suddenly thumped onto the table, looking mad, “Lydia, I come here not to bargain with you!
We subcontracted the project to you because we paid you respect and trusted you! But you messed it
up!”
“No more bargaining! Sign it and we must take the Atlas!”
Brandon seemed too tough to spare any room for negotiation, which rendered Lydia awkward.
Meanwhile, Irene, together with the other senior managers, walked over to the office as soon as they
noticed the noise.
“Miss Henderson, what’s going on?”
“What’s going on? I am here to take over Atlas! But your boss still clenches it in her hands!”
Brandon then sneered, “But it doesn’t matter to me. I will resort to lawsuit if she insists. Once I fail to
get Atlas within the due, I will see every one of you being sent to prison!”
Brandon yelled loud to threaten. Meanwhile, Irene and the rest of them all looked worried and
embarrassed.
At this moment, Leo suddenly uttered, “Lydia, just sign it.”
