CHAPTER 723 DIGGING IN

Although Cindy is very arrogant and mean, she is, in the final analysis, a smart woman.

It should be knowing the times and knowing exactly what to do and when to do it.

In their circle, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Enemies can be friends, and friends can become enemies, as long as the benefits are there.

So the previous relationship with Leo was not a matter at all for Cindy.

She was convinced that with her looks, there was no reason for Leo to reject her.

The body is a woman's greatest capital of use, often has enemies of Cindy who don't mind crawling

under her covers.

In any case, the matter of Leo being the teacher of the Commerce Maestro was a devastating storm

that swept through everyone's mind.

Not only was the Henderson’s desire to compete for Dongcheng Hutong, but even others dared not get

their hands on it.

There is no half chance.

Under the terrified gaze of countless people, Commerce Maestro walked onto the stage with a serious

face.

Since Commerce Maestro had stepped in, it was only natural that Commerce Maestro himself would

preside over the auction at Dongcheng Hutong.

Callum and Mr. Cunningham stood respectfully behind them like little brothers.

With a serious expression, Commerce Maestro said aloud, "I now announce that the final bidding for

Dongcheng Hutong has officially begun!"

There was no applause.

It is now quiet.

Even those who had their numbers drawn, Cindy, Olly and others, did not participate in the bidding.

It was finally sold for 1.5 billion and was auctioned off by Leo.

Looking at Leo and Commerce Maestro, who were posing for a photo on stage, everyone was envious,

but none of them dared to voice their displeasure.

Who dares?

Leo is the teacher of Commerce Maestro, and this Dongcheng Hutong will definitely fall to him.

Lydia looked on in awe and excitement at the scene.

Previously, Leo had talked about his intention to buy Dongcheng Hutong, but Lydia thought that was

impossible, but to her surprise, Leo had really bought it.

It is impossible for Lydia not to be excited.

What an honour it is to own a villa in Valenham?

The next step is to go through the housing process.

The formalities process is cumbersome in an upmarket residential area like the usual ones, let alone

those in the villa.

But it took Leo just five minutes to get it.

Lydia froze for a moment and asked in confusion, "How did you get better so quickly?"

Other than that, the payment of 1.5 billion alone would have taken ages to pay.

Banks do not support so much in one payment.

Leo smiled, "It's done, let's go back."

Having said that, he led Lydia out of the Crystal Palace.

In fact, Leo did not pay at all.

The entire JWCC was his, and even if he paid, the 1.5 billion would still go out of his left pocket and

into his right.

"We'll be able to see the house tomorrow."

Leo got into a taxi with his family and headed towards the hotel.

As they watched Leo leave, a tall, feminine figure slowly walked out with them.

It is none other than Cindy.

The corners of her mouth curled up into a wicked smile, "Leo, I'm going to have you in my hands."

Just now, she had inquired that Leo was also Ariella's fiancé before Lydia, and the two had almost got

married.

At the same time, the secret that Leo was the teacher of the Commerce Maestro had spread

throughout Valenham City.

The first thing almost every family did when they returned was to tell the news to their respective family

heads.

The entire Valenham set off a huge wave.

The name Leo is well known to the vast majority of the great families because of Lydia, but none of

them look up to him.

Because he was only a live-in son-in-law.

But after this night, all perceptions of Leo have changed.

He is now defined as the teacher of Commerce Maestro.

It's hard to imagine that a lowly live-in son-in-law is actually the teacher of a Commerce Maestro!

It was late at night in the royal family of the Henderson, but the lights were still on.

In the study, Maisy was still awake and she was constantly pacing back and forth in there.

Paul and Florence had gone to attend the lot drawing at Dongcheng Hutong on the Henderson's

behalf, and Maisy could not sleep until they returned.

Suddenly, a dazzling light came and a car slowly drove into the compound.

"Paul is back!"

Seeing that it was Paul and Florence's vehicle, Maisy was filled with joy and rushed out to greet them.

However, seeing Paul and Florence, the smile on Maisy's face instantly disappeared and her heart

thudded.

"What's wrong?"

Maisy noticed that half of Florence's face was highly swollen, as if she had been slapped hard several

times.

"Dongcheng Hutong was bought by Leo!"

Florence covered her face, full of aggression and annoyance.

"What?!"

At these words, the glass of water in Maisy's hand should fall and shatter.

She was dumbfounded.

She even suspected that her ears had misheard.

"How is it possible that Dongcheng Hutong has been bought by Leo? Can he afford to buy it?"

Maisy's voice was so shrill that it woke up Marie, who had already fallen asleep.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out in a daze. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Mom, what do you mean, my sister and brother-in-law bought Dongcheng Hutong?"

Upon hearing this news, Marie's expression instantly became elated.

"Then won't my sister and brother-in-law live in the villa? And I can live there too."

Marie's words completely provoked Maisy's anger, she was full of annoyance: "Go to bed now,

remember your status, you are the only princess of the Henderson Clan, if you dare to have contact

with these lowly people of theirs in the future, you will be banned from your feet!"

"......"

Startled and afraid to disobey her mother's orders, Marie had no choice but to flee.

Having sent her away, Maisy said angrily, "What the hell is going on?"

It was clear that she was determined to win Dongcheng Hutong and wanted to prove herself by making

a career when Karl came back, but now she has lost everything.

And the Dongcheng Hutong was given to Leo, isn't that a disgrace for her?

She had just kicked Lydia and her family out of the house, intending to leave them on the streets and

living in the open, but she didn't expect them to come back with a villa.

Paul told the whole story.

Maisy's face changed dramatically after hearing this, "Leo is Commerce Maestro's teacher? How is that

possible?"

Maisy's reaction was the same as the crowd's.

Paul's face was unpleasant: "Commerce Maestro has bowed to Leo, so it's mostly true."

These words struck Maisy so deeply that her face went pale and she sat down helplessly in her chair,

muttering.

"It's over, it's over, how can Leo be Commerce Maestro's teacher? Shouldn't he be a loser?"

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have thrown the family out, we missed an opportunity to rise to the top!"

Maisy was not in regret.

Paul and Florence also stood by in silence.

Would the situation have been different if, instead of driving Lydia away, Maisy had left them behind

regardless of the past?

It is just a pity that there is no medicine for regret.

Paul stood by and suddenly froze, "Why, if he is Commerce Maestro's teacher, why didn't he say so,

and had to wait for Commerce Maestro to take the initiative to admit it?"

Maisy rolled her eyes, "It's simple, if he said he was Commerce Maestro's teacher, who would believe

him?"

"That's true. ......"

Paul rubbed his nose and stood awkwardly to one side.

However, these words also reminded Maisy, and she rose at once: "You're right, since he is Commerce

Maestro's teacher, he should be the object of our entire Henderson Clan's patronage, so why, didn't he

reveal himself from the start?"

The next moment, Maisy's eyes were gloomy, "There's something fishy about that trash and Commerce

Maestro's relationship! Investigate him and find out their real relationship!"

Paul and Florence's hearts shook wildly and they dared not disobey, immediately using the power of

the entire royal clan to go ahead and investigate.

Maisy sat in her study, her face gloomy to the core.

Dongcheng Hutong can be left untaken, but it just can't be conceded to that punk Leo!

Otherwise, she would have been a joke as soon as she took office.

By throwing Lydia out of the Henderson, Maisy was trying to show her that without the Henderson, she

was nothing.

As long as Lydia got down on her knees and begged her to let her go back, Maisy would agree.

After all, Karl didn't know about it yet, so it wasn't possible to throw Lydia out forever.

But!

Lydia had broken away from the royal family and was actually doing better than her, something Maisy

would not allow.

She is like a cobra waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow once she has found the opening.

The next morning, Leo got up early and was about to take Lydia to see the house in Dongcheng

Hutong.

Once fully dressed, it was time to head out.

Dongcheng Hutong is located in the second ring of Valenham, where houses monopolise a large part

of the street.

This means that a large part of the houses on one side, walking along the main road, are from the

Dongcheng Hutong and occupy enough space to exceed a thousand square feet.

A house of this square footage would be sky-high in any other city, let alone in a city like Valenham

where land price is soaring like crazy.

What is even more breathtaking is that the Dongcheng Hutong is a historical legacy with a strong

historical preservation value.

So the streets in that area are basically deserted and protected from the general public.

At the moment, however, a sports car is parked in the empty street, and a man and two women are

standing in front of the entrance to the Dongcheng Hutong.

If Leo were here at this moment, he would have laughed out loud. Wasn't this Lydia's 'rich second

generation' classmate, Quinn Mills and two twin sisters?

They are looking at the Dongcheng Hutong in awe, full of yearning.

"Quinn, did you know that Dongcheng Hutong has been bought?"

The twin sister asked Quinn, pointing to the Dongcheng Hutong.

Last night, news spread that Dongcheng Hutong had been auctioned off by a mysterious wealthy man.

The general public does not know who the purchaser is, except for those present.

"Yeah, I know."

Quinn nodded, his face full of tension, "So what did you guys tell me to park for? And we sneak in here,

that's a private place!"

Quinn is going crazy.

The twin sisters smiled, embarrassed, "Gee, what does it matter? We'll just go in for a visit, it's fine."
