CHAPTER 553 SPENCER'S
At these words, Leo immediately raised his eyebrows and looked back.
Behind him, he saw a handsome young man staring coldly at him, with a look that could not wait to kill
him.
"Hayden, is that you?"
Leo's eyes narrowed dangerously, and a sharp edge swept through the depths of his eyes.
The young man had a golden badge pinned at the top of his suit, the very Cohen's Medal, a symbol of
status.
Beside him stood a full five strong men with powerful auras.
Although they had deliberately collected their aura, they still gave off a sense of intimidation without
anger.
This was the power of a strong man, even standing there was enough to give people a shock.
Leo guessed that these five should be the strong men representing the Cohen family in the battle.
"It's me."
Hayden's eyes stared coldly at Leo: "This is not a place for you to come, get the hell out!"
"Unbridled!"
Kit immediately bellowed and stared at Hayden with an unkind expression, "Mr. Cohen is an honoured
guest invited by Miss, his status is no less than yours, how dare you disrespect Mr. Cohen?"
Hayden's gaze fell on Kit and he suddenly smiled coldly, "You don't know who I am?"
Kit frowned and was about to reply, but Hayden took the lead and shook his head, "That's right, how
could a small branch head, who isn't even the core of the royal Spencer family, have heard of our
name?"
The words carried a strong sense of condescension, and Kit immediately felt humiliated as he
suppressed his anger and asked, "Who are you?"
Hayden smiled, "Seeing as you're helping Ariella with the branch, I'll tell you."
"My name is Hayden, I come from the Cohen family, the royal family of Valenham, and also, I am
Ariella's fiancé."
At these words, Kit's face really changed, and he did not even dare to be angry.
This man actually came from the Valenham’s Cohen family and was also the fiancé of the young lady,
which was indeed not someone he could afford to mess with.
Leo did not say anything, just looked at him coldly.
Also from the royal family of Valenham, Lydia and Hayden were like two different people.
Lydia had none of the arrogance that came from princes and nobles, while he was different.
"Go on, don't pay any attention to him."
Leo swept him a faint glance, not giving Hayden any thought at all.
Lydia and Kit didn't care about him either and headed straight for the Building.
"Stop right there!"
Hayden roared, his eyes full of killing intent.
Leo simply ignored him and continued to stride forward.
So did Lydia and Kit.
Hayden was furious.
This was the Sino-Ocean Group and Kit was the head, so Hayden naturally took him to task.
"Kit, if you dare to take another step forward, believe me or not, I'll make you quit the head of the
company?"
At these words, Kit finally stopped in his tracks and turned back to look angrily at Hayden.
But he took a deep breath and said to Hayden.
"Even if you are Miss's fiancé, you can't make decisions for her. Mr. Cohen is Miss' honoured guest,
aren't you afraid that Miss will be angry if you take matters into your own hands?"
"You still dare to press me with Ariella, I think you're tired of living!"
Hayden was even more full of annoyance as he said to Kit.
He pulled out his mobile phone and was about to use his connections at hand to remove Kit when he
did.
A cold, angry rebuke suddenly came from behind them.
"Stop it!"
Everyone looked at the sound, only to see a professionally dressed Ariella striding in, her face so
gloomy.
"Ariella!"
Seeing Ariella walk out, Hayden cleared the gloom from his face and a warm smile emerged on his
face.
He walked over to Ariella and his hand naturally went towards Ariella.
Ariella, however, took a step backwards, not even giving Hayden a touch.
Looking at this scene, Hayden's heart was filled with anger, but his face did not show it.
"What's going on?"
Ariella's face was grim as she shouted angrily.
Kit dared not disobey and told the whole story of what had just happened.
A rare flash of anger surfaced on Ariella's face as she listened.
"Hayden, I invited Leo here, who are you to kick him out?"
Ariella did not immediately say that Leo was the man to represent her family in the battle, it was not yet
time to announce.
After saying that, she looked at Leo and Lydia and apologised, "Sorry for that, please come up with
me."
Leo and Lydia both gave Hayden a cold look and turned around to walk into the building.
Looking at Ariella speaking so much for Leo, but not even allowing himself a hug, the nameless anger
in Hayden's heart was getting bigger and bigger, and was already on the verge of the outbreak stage.
He was covered in killing intent, yet he hid it extremely well and did not explode.
Because he knew that now was not the time to explode.
"Ariella gathered all the royal clans to snipe the Newman clan together, this will be strength for
strength, I'll see what he does later!"
Hayden glanced back at the five strong men representing the Cohen family in the battle.
After taking Leo and the others to Ariella's office, Kit left.
This was a gathering of the royal families, not for a non-royal core like him to participate in.
He couldn't wait to leave.
Ariella's office was very large, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows at the far end that were fully
transparent, allowing a panoramic view of the entire business circle of Hopkins.
"Nice office."
Leo commented.
Ariella smiled and didn't say anything, just continued to make tea.
Hayden then arrived and sat opposite Leo.
At this point, Elena had not yet arrived, so the conversation session had not quite started completely.
Although Ariella did not talk to Leo, her attention was completely on Leo, and she did not even look at
her fiance.
Eventually, Hayden couldn't help himself and said to Ariella with suppressed anger, "Ariella, you are
now my fiancée, so you should at least behave like a fiancée."
A flash of coldness flashed in Ariella's eyes at once.
Leo and Lydia also looked at Hayden in surprise, even they could see that Ariella was already a little
angry.
"Fiancée?"
Ariella said coldly, "Well then, let me mention a few requirements for you to marry me."
"First, you must be a live-in son-in-law and join my family, or I will not marry you."
At these words, Hayden's face suddenly turned pale.
He could not do the first one alone .
How humiliating would it be if word got out that he was the heir to the Leo family but was a live-in son-
in-law?
Ariella's eyes were cold as she continued.
"Second, all your business, your bank cards have to be handed over to me for safekeeping, you just
need to stay at home."
"Third, there is no need for us to fulfil our conjugal obligations, and in future, when we live together, you
are not allowed to climb into bed but sleep on the floor!"
"......"
The three demands directly put Hayden out of temper.
Leo, however, paled slightly.
These three requests actually sounded very familiar to him.
Wasn't it exactly what Ariella had asked of him when he joined the Lawson family five years ago?
"Since you can't do that, shut up and in the future, don't say I'm your fiancée, I won't admit it!"
Ariella spoke indifferently, her tone very cold.
Hayden's face was pale, "I don't think any man would agree to these three conditions you mentioned,
right?"
By promising, there was no more manly dignity.
"You're wrong, someone else has done it."
Ariella said indifferently, "And it is unconditionally obeyed."
"Who?" Original from .
"He is right here."
As soon as Ariella finished speaking, Hayden subconsciously looked at Leo, his face full of incredulity.
"You agreed?"
Leo nodded, "Yes."
Remembering the past, Leo looked emotional.
At that time, he joined the Lawson family with the sole intention of repaying his kindness.
But he inadvertently walked into Ariella's heart.
She had been expressing her feelings to Leo in her own way.
Even if, in their lifetime, they would not work out.
Ariella also had a complicated look on her face and suddenly looked at Lydia: "Treat him well."
Lydia said with a straight face, "I will."
Hayden didn't dare to speak either.
In some respects, he was indeed inferior to Leo.
Soon, Elena arrived.
With that, the four royal families were all represented.
Ariella's expression straightened, "Since all the clans have arrived, let the symposium begin."
Ariella was about to make an announcement, but the office door was pushed open again.
Immediately afterwards, a woman's teasing voice followed.
"Ariella, are you in a position to decide to start?"
The sound of crisp high heels buckling on the ground followed, and a woman whose posture was not
inferior to Ariella's walked in with her head held high.
She had delicate features and was more charming than Ariella.
Only a subtle wink flashed between her eyes, showing that this woman was extremely scheming.
"Cindy!"
Looking at this uninvited guest, Ariella's face went gloomy.
"Cindy?"
Leo froze for a moment, not recognising who this woman was.
Lydia and Elena’s eyes became grave.
Lydia said softly to Leo, "Before Ariella returned to the Spencer family, she was the most outstanding
person in Spencer's younger generation, and was known as the 'Golden Boy and Jade Girl' with
Spencer's other man named Jordan."
"It's just that Ariella's recent return to the Spencer has stolen her thunder, and the two have always
been at odds, and it was she who brought up the people who were so strongly opposed to Ariella's
return to the Spencer’s in the first place."
Elena added from the sidelines.
"Is that so? ......"
Upon hearing this, Leo also gave that Cindy an extra look.
If that was the case, then this Cindy was not an ordinary person.
"Ariella, aren't you surprised to see me?"
Cindy came in front of Ariella and smiled, "All in all, you have only just returned to the family, I was very
uneasy about you, so I asked for permission with grandpa to come to Hopkins to supervise you."
"You don't have to mind me, you go ahead and I'll listen in."
After saying that, Cindy really pulled a chair over and looked at everyone with a smile.
Ariella held back the anger in her heart, for Cindy, she actually chose to hold back her anger.
Ariella also confronted Cindy, directly treating her as air and speaking on her own.
"Wait! Before you confer, I have one more question for you."
Halfway through the speech, Cindy suddenly interrupted Ariella and looked at her and asked, "That is,
have you recruited the right strong person for the Spencer’s?"
"If not, then I'm sorry, you're not qualified to organise this meeting."
