CHAPTER 466 THE CLASS REUNION

Jonah and Laura went back home after they left the J Group building.

Jonah had been looking out of the window on the way, meditating. Suddenly, he asked sullenly, "So, is

this the end of it, Laura?"

Laura threw a glance a him. "What else do you want?"

Jonah’s face clouded over with anger. "Don’t forget, Laura, that we’re burdened with the task of taking

the J Group back! But we were kicked out shortly after we came. Now the J Group is in Alan’s hands

again!" Jonah growled through clenched teeth, feeling bitter, especially when he thought of how Leo

had humiliated him.

He cast a look at Laura, who remained calm and peaceful.

"Aren’t you mad about it, Laura?" Jonah asked.

Laura replied quietly, "I didn’t lose out to him. I lost out to Lydia and Kate, and it’s not embarrassing."

She paused and continued, "Don’t hold any grudges against him after this, or we’d be cutting our own

throats, get it?"

"I see," Jonah replied with a grim face.

Then he sent a text message to someone.

In the J Group building, Alan slumped down in the chair after Jonah and Laura left.

They were indeed hard nuts to crack. If it weren’t for Leo, Alan might have not been able to deal with

them.

After some time, Alan finally recovered himself and turned to Leo. "Mr. Cohen, I’m sorry you had to go

trough all this."

Leo, however, shook his head with a smile. "You’ve done great. At least, you handled the situation well

under great pressure from those two. What’s the most important trait for a businessman while in

business negotiations? I’m sure you’re aware of it."

"Yes, Mr. Cohen!"

Alan’s mood lightened a lot as he heard Leo.

It was crucial for one to stay calm under great pressure, no matter he was in a business negotiation or

not.

At this moment, Irene chimed in, "Mr. Cohen, about the cooperation between the L Group and the J

Group…"

Finally, she dared to bring this up.

Leo smiled. "Now that I’ve stepped in, of course it’s settled."

Alan also promised, "The J Group will include your Hopkins Branch in whatever business we’re doing,

and we’ll try to help you get into the Hopkins’ social circle as soon as possible!"

Both Irene and Caroline heaved a sigh of relief as they heard that.

"You may go back to the office, while I stay and talk with Mr. Watts." Leo sent Irene and Caroline away.

Alan became serious instantly. It must be about something important that Leo wanted to have a private

conversation with him.

Leo, however, gave a smile. "Don’t get nervous. I just want to tell you that I’ll be in Hopkins these days.

My wife will visit me every weekend, so tell me if people from the JP Business Association come."

Alan replied with complete confidence, "Yes, Mr. Cohen!"

Leo meant that he didn’t even take the JP Business Association seriously.

"There’s one more thing." The smile on Leo’s face widened. "How are Marie and Serena doing?"

Alan replied, "They’re working in grassroots positions at present. I’ll promote them when they get more

experience."

Leo nodded. "Get them ready as soon as possible. Marie will be in charge of the Hopkins Branch, even All content is property © .

the headquarters in Emerdale in the future. As for the J Group, you want Serena to take it over from

you, I assume?"

Alan nodded earnestly. "Yes, Mr. Cohen."

He called his secretary as soon as Leo left. "Promote Marie and Serena to general manager and

general manager assistant now!"

…

Marie, who had no idea that she was being promoted at this moment, was calling Leo.

"Hello, Leo, where are you now?" Marie asked the moment the call was answered.

"Look back," replied Leo.

Marie paused and looked back automatically, only to see Leo standing right behind her and staring at

her with a smile.

"Leo!" Marie exclaimed and asked excitedly, "When did you come?"

"It’s been a while since I arrived. I’ll also be working in the J Group Building in the future. The Hopkins

Branch of the L Group is at the level below," Leo smiled.

"Does that mean we’ll meet every day?" Marie asked in surprise. The next moment, something popped

into her mind and she called Serena.

"Leo!" Serena was also surprised to see Leo.

Marie grabbed Serena’s arm and the two posed in front of Leo. "Do we look good?"

"Of course." Leo nodded and asked, "But why did you spruce yourselves up?"

Marie and Serena, the two pretty girls, were well made-up today.

Marie replied with a smile, "I told you before. I’m going to a class reunion today. Since I can bring

friends, I asked Serena and you to go with me."

Suddenly, it all came back to Leo and he declined the offer with a wave of his hand. "Enjoy the class

reunion with Serena, but I don’t think I have to go."

Marie took his arm at once and urged, "It’s been years since we last met, and many of my classmates

must have been married. I’ll be embarrassed if I go with a female friend."

"So you ask me to act as your boyfriend, right?"

Marie nodded.

"No way," Leo rejected. How could he act as someone’s boyfriend when he was married?

Annoyed, Marie persuaded, "But I’m your wife’s sister, so I’m family. Now that your family member is in

trouble, won’t you help me?"

Leo gave a bitter smile. Just because Marie was his wife’s sister, he had to keep a distance from her.

Serena chimed in at this moment, "Leo, just come with us. I’m sure we’ll have to drink tonight. How can

you let us two girls drink by ourselves?"

What Serena said made sense, so Leo agreed, "Fine then."

"Thank you, Leo!" Marie took Leo’s arm affectionately at once.

The three people stopped a taxi and went to a club called Spaerrace.

"Great name," Leo exclaimed with a smile.

"Of course it is. It’s said that Spaerrace is owned by the Palmer family," Marie explained.

Leo nodded, saying nothing.

The three people got off the taxi and saw three gorgeous women coming out of the club arm in arm

with a man respectively.

"Marie? Is that you?"

They came up to Marie at the sight of her, excited.

"Abigail, Billie , Dakota, haven’t seen you guys for quite a while," Marie greeted them with a smile and

introduced Serena to them, "This is my good friend, Serena Wallace."

"You’re so pretty!"

"Hello, I’m Abigail!"

"My name is Billie, and this is Dakota."

"Hello, my name is Serena Wallace."

Beauties always stood out from the crowd, and Serena was given a warm welcome immediately.

Meanwhile, the three men behind the ladies fixed their eyes on Serena.

The next moment, Marie began to introduce Leo to them, "This is my…"

Before she could say the word "boyfriend", Dakota, the woman with short hair, chimed in.

"I know. Your chauffeur, right?"
