CHAPTER 478 EXPELLED
Hearing that, Leo stood up.
Then he saw two middle-aged men in suit get off the limousines, each of whom were followed by a few
secretary ladies.
“Mr. Williamson,Mr. Howard it’s my honor to meet you.” Greeted Laura.
Both of the two men replied with a smile, “The honor is mine.”
“Miss Watts, who is this gentleman?” soon, the two men noticed Leo.
Laura hurried to introduce, “This is Mr. Cohen, the owner of J Group.”
Then she looked at Leo, “The two gentlemen are the members of JP Business Association, Dillon
Williamson and Alistair Howard.”
But Leo only replied with indifference.
Seeing that, Dillon and Alistair squinted at him, “You are the owner of J Group?”
Laura forced out a smile, “Mr. Williamson, Mr. Howard, may I ask you a question? My brother and I
have made an appointment with you for today’s negotiation, right?”
Dillon nodded, “Of course.”
Hearing that, Leo fell into silence. He looked a bit confused, wondering if he was mistaken. Original from .
“What happened?” both Dillon and Alistair asked, feeling confused as well.
“Nothing.” Laura shook her head and smiled, “It was just because of a misunderstanding between us
and Mr. Cohen.”
Leo remained silence for seconds. Then he uttered, “I am sorry for the mistake.”
After that, he was about to leave.
Jonah stopped him, questioning angrily, “are you gonna walk away like that?”
Leo frowned, “What do you want?”
Laura took a step forward, “It’s a matter of reputation. We need to know who was setting us up!”
“Besides, Lydia used to be a friend of mine in college. If someone is trying to conspire against her while
making us the scapegoat, we have the right to figure it out!” she huffed firmly.
Leo took a look at her. After a few seconds of consideration, he described the appearance of the two
hitmen.
After hearing that, Laura shook her head, “Sorry, we don’t know them. Mr. Cohen, actually, Jonah has
ever thought about retaliating against you. But I stopped him.”
“It’s a business issue. So I would like to deal with it in business.”
Leo nodded, “I am sorry for the mistake.”
When he was about to leave, Dillon and Alistair stopped him, “Well, I see. Alan is working for you,
right? Mr. Cohen, as the owner of J Group, why don’t you stay with us for a talk?”
The way they spoke sounded domineering.
Leo frowned, “What’s the talk for?”
Dillon smirked, “It’s just about an invitation. I want you to join the JP Business Association. Listen, it’s
not an offer expecting mutual consent from you and me. Instead, it’s a compulsory request for you.”
Though Alistair only watched in silence, his expression signaled his acquiescence.
Hearing that, Leo suddenly burst into laughter as if it were something hilarious, “I want me to join the
business association?”
“Yes.” Dillon smiled and continued, “As long as you join us, J Group will be greatly financially
supported. And it will only take you a price of 10% of the shares annually.”
Alistair added, “Hey, listen, you’d better teach Alan a lesson. He turned down the offer, breached the
agreement and even expelled Laura, Jonah and the rest of the board of directors! He was being really
rude!”
Hearing that, Laura looked awkward, “Mr. Howard, Mr. Williamson, please stop…”
“Stop? Why?” Dillon then questioned arrogantly, “We are here to back you up! You know what? Paying
a visit to the J Group has been part of my schedule. But now since we meet the boss here, it will save a
lot of time.”
Then he looked at Leo, “So, are you gonna quit Kingston and join us?”
Alistair echoed while staring at Leo as well, “Learn to make a wise choice. If you still wanna run your
business in Hopkins, you’d better take the offer unless you wanna go bankrupt.”
“Mr. Howard, he’s not only the president of J Group, but…” when Laura was about to tell them Leo was
also the husband of Lydia, Leo suddenly cut in with a smile while staring at Dillon and Alistair with a
disdainful look, “If I agree, there should be more requests from you, right?”
“Of course.” Dillon sneered, “We have wasted so much time and a lot of efforts on J Group. We have
the reason to ask for compensation.”
Then he gestured and said, “Two more requests. Firstly, get Alan fired! Then, pay fifty million for each
of us.”
Leo seemed amused, “Hey, it seems that you were both poorly informed.”
“What?” the two men looked confused.
Leo then pointed at Laura and Jonah, “It wasn’t Alan who gave the order to expel both of them.
Actually, it was me!”
“What?” hearing that, the two men were stunned.
Laura sighed. Actually, she had planned to alert the two men, but they stopped her before she could
say anything more.
“How dare you! Are you trying to challenge the Association?” Dillon was burning with rage.
“Now you are abdicated from the position as the president! Let Miss Watts take your place!”
Alistair literally ordered.
But Leo simply ignored them, “Gentlemen, may I ask a question? What’s your level in the Association?”
Both Dillon and Alistair replied proudly, “On the average!”
“Oh, average…” Leo drawled.
They replied with disdainful sneer, “But that’s enough for us to ruin your business. No sweat!”
“Okay, from now on, both of you have been expelled from the Association. A few minutes later, you will
get a notice by call.”
After a short pause, both Dillon and Alistair burst into laughter.
“What did you just say? We are expelled? Do you have any idea about what it means as a member of
average level in the Association?”
Both Laura and Jonah seemed stunned.
But then, Laura shook her head while Jonah was gloating with a sneer.
From their perspective, the president of J Group was just a nobody. What Leo just said only sounded
like a joke.
But Leo was texting, ‘I need you to expel two men from JP Business Association, Dillon and Alistair.’
