CHAPTER 781 WISH ME HAPPINESS
Today's Valenham is dominated by two major news stories, and both of them are related to the Cohen.
The first is that the head of the Cohen family changed and was given to Abraham, who thus became
the youngest family head among the nine royal families.
The second piece of news is related to business.
All of the Cohen's resources and contacts in business have been instilled in several foreign families
that are new to Valenham.
They are the Stewart family, the Simpson family, the Perry family, and the Palmer family and the Watts
family in Hopkins.
As to why the Cohen family is doing this, no one can guess.
After all, these families are considered among the top gentry in their respective cities, but when put into
Valenham, they are not even ranked as second-rate families.
However, with the help of the Cohen family, these families have transformed themselves into super tier
one families in Valenham.
Some people say that the Cohen family is trying to increase the number of affiliated families, but with
the Cohen family's appeal, if there is a need for affiliated families, there are many first-tier families who
would rush to become the Cohen family's affiliated families, so why pour so much resources into
supporting these families?
Those who can enter and leave IFC Building are either wealthy people with a lot of money or research
scientists who are pivotal in the financial world of Valenham and who are constantly planning the
economic development of this ancient city of Valenham.
It is said that every hour, over ten billion dollars flows through the IFC Building.
Even if it is international, it enjoys a place.
The crystal revolving door spins at an even pace and four men and one woman emerge from it in a
spirited manner.
All of them were dressed in high-end suits and looked refreshing.
It was the Stewart family, the Simpson family, the Perry family, and the Palmer family and the Watts
family that marched into Valenham a few days ago.
"I really didn't expect that I would one day be able to gain a foothold in Valenham."
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Ernie sighed heartily.
Millie, dressed in a white suit and painted with bright red lips, giggled and said, "I didn't expect it either,
but one must have dreams, I dreamed of going to Valenham to get a firm foothold, and fortunately it
came true."
"It's all thanks to Mr. Cohen, otherwise we would still be cowering in our own city until now."
Ronnie is graceful and handsome.
Although Alan did not say anything, the smile on his face already reflected his mood at the moment.
Lennox suggested, "Why don't we find a place to celebrate and show Mr. Cohen our gratitude."
At these words, all agreed.
"Yes."
"Millie, you go and contact Mr. Cohen."
Ernie looked at Millie with a smile.
Millie nodded and dialed Leo's number.
"Mr. Cohen?"
Millie smiled and said hello.
Leo's calm voice came over the phone, "Is something wrong?"
Millie smiled and said, "Our five families, having officially become super tier one families, are planning
to hold a small banquet to celebrate, as a way to thank you for your cultivation and care."
Alan added, "Another important reason is that I haven't seen you for a long time."
Leo was silent for a while, but eventually agreed to do so.
"Okay."
Millie was overjoyed and then gave an address.
"6pm, Nine Dragons Club, see you there."
On the other side, Leo hung up the phone, looked back at Ariella and said, "I'm going to the Nine
Dragons Club tonight."
"Okay."
Ariella responded without raising her head, still carefully sifting through the tea leaves.
A delicate celadon tea stove sits next to it, cooking slowly over a low flame.
The water is boiling.
Ariella stood up and went to filter the distilled water.
Instead of professional attire, she was dressed in a purple cheongsam, with her bare thighs hidden in a
way that invites reverie.
That's the beauty of the cheongsam.
Ariella is particularly suited to wearing cheongsams, as if they were made for her.
She put the tea leaves into the water and at once the fragrant tea spread out.
"Have a drink before you go."
Ariella held a cup of tea and handed it to Leo.
Leo, however, did not move, his eyes looking straight at Ariella.
Noticing the look in his eyes, a smile emerged on Ariella's cold face.
"What? Afraid I'll poison you?"
She sneered.
Leo shook his head, "It just feels like time flies."
"......"
Ariella, however, fell into silence.
Indeed, a long time had passed since she left Pearl and headed for Valenham.
During this time, she did not wear the cheongsam again, Kate changed her name to Ariella.
But the only thing that remains constant is her ambition.
"You can think of me as Kate."
After a long silence, Ariella suddenly spoke out.
Hearing her words, Leo was slightly stunned, then his face was frank as he took a sip of tea.
"But I'm not the same Leo as I used to be."
"......"
Two hours ago, he came to Ariella's office and the two settled down to talk like old friends.
"I didn't think you'd come to me."
Ariella took a sip of tea and said, “I thought I would be able to keep my heart calm when I saw you, but
after sitting face to face with you, I realized that I still couldn't move on."
"But aren't you afraid that Lydia will know that you sought out me, your 'ex-wife', for a heart-to-heart
talk?"
Having said that, she went to survey Leo's eyes with her wisdom-filled ones.
Leo did not hide or avoid, his eyes were clear: "Precisely because we almost married five years ago,
you are a very special person to me, you understand me."
Ariella nodded and agreed, "Yes, Kate understands you."
"You are Kate."
"Kate is in the past, when we're alone, I'm Kate."
"......"
"You saw through my disguise, saw my weakness, and I felt compassion for you; our three views were
compatible, but why weren't we together?"
Ariella asked again.
"You disappeared for five years, remembering in your heart only the woman you hurt so deeply that
night, but forgetting the serpentine woman who had been waiting for you and was soon to become your
wife." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Ariella's words were barbed with mockery.
Mocking Leo, and mocking herself.
"Leo, more than Lydia, you're sorry for me too."
Ariella drank the cup of tea in one go, as if what was in the cup was not tea, but wine.
"I am a believer in fate, and I don't know how much merit I cultivated in my past life to allow me to come
to this earthly world. The two of us should have gone different ways, but our feud was not yet over and
our love affair was not yet broken, which is why we almost became a married couple and turned us
against each other. I hate Lydia for stealing my everything."
When she said this, Ariella's eyes were red, but she looked at Leo and smiled.
"But I can kill you and I'm willing to take a knife and a bullet for you ---- Lydia wouldn't dare."
Leo was shocked by Ariella's words, and he suddenly dared not look Ariella directly in the eyes.
He suddenly understood that everyone expresses their love in different ways ---- he was compensating
and Lydia was giving.
And Ariella would rather hurt hard than be forgotten.
Leo's eyes suddenly turned mournful and his throat quirked, as if he had a thousand words to say.
The words that came out of his mouth were only "I'm sorry".
Ariella shook her head, "You don't have to be sorry, I don't hate you."
Leo bowed deeply to Ariella, then turned around, intending to leave the office.
"Leo."
Ariella shouted in a hoarse voice.
Leo stopped in his tracks and looked back.
Only to find the once serpentine woman was suddenly weeping and blushing.
"You're coming to my wedding, aren't you?"
She pulled out an exquisitely wrapped wedding invitation and handed it to Leo.
At once, it was like a bolt from the blue, falling hard on Leo's head.
A fierce shudder ran through him.
When he took it, he saw a bright red wedding invitation with a few big, blinding letters.
"Groom: Hayden Cohen.
Bride: Ariella Spencer."
Seeing these words, Leo then remembered that Ariella and Hayden had long been engaged to each
other.
It's just that Ariella has been putting it off, and now, finally, it can't be put off any longer.
"Wish me happiness."
Ariella smiled tearfully.
"......"
Leo's mouth opened slightly, wanting to say these words, but his throat felt like a fish spike was stuck in
it, unable to say them.
Leo walked away lost in thought.
For the first time, he felt like a huge chunk of his heart had been ripped out.
As the lift made its way down, Leo breathed heavily, as if it was the only way to make himself feel
better.
The lift door opened and a handsome young man walked in with a rose in his hand.
The moment the four eyes met, Leo's eyes were already filled with killing intent.
The youth, on the other hand, was full of surprise: "Leo, why are you here?"
Just after asking the question, he instantly understood what was going on, and at once his face was so
gloomy.
"You just came out of Ariella's room? What did you do?"
The two of them are still in close contact with each other, even though Hayden has known about this for
a long time, but he has been putting up with it.
For a moment, Hayden felt cuckolded.
"Fuck off."
Leo spoke indifferently.
At once, a strong killing intent swept through him, scaring Hayden so much that the flowers in his hand
fell to the ground.
But this time he was not afraid, but roared at Leo.
"If you dare to take one more step near my fiancée, I will make your life worse than death!"
However, Leo has gone far away.
Only then did Hayden gather his emotions and step into the lift.
On the top floor, Ariella stood at the huge floor-to-ceiling window, her eyes cold.
She watched the meeting between Hayden and Leo with great clarity.
Knowing that Hayden was about to arrive, Ariella's eyes were ruthless and her hands tore viciously at
the clothes on her body.
At once, the cheongsam on Ariella's body was torn, revealing a large area of skin.
Without a second thought, she pulled another pre-prepared serving of virgin blood from the drawer and
poured it directly onto the sofa.
At once, the snow-white sofa was stained red with a blinding crimson.
Ariella, on the other hand, lay panting on the sofa, waiting for Hayden to arrive.
