Chapter 829

“Not to be too extreme?” Marcus found it so hilarious that he couldn’t help but laugh out loud

“What are you laughing at, Marc” Leonardo asked

Marcus was laughing at Leonardo’s innocence and his own habit of dealing with issues in an extreme way Yet, he didn’t voice his thoughts. Over the years, wasn’t it Leonardo’s innocence that he admired most? If Leonardo became cunning, he wouldn’t be the Leonardo he knew anymore He would lose his unique simplicity and

cuteness

Often, Marcus didn’t want to talk about business with Leonardo. He wanted Leonardo to keep his innocence. But now it seemed he had to tell him some things.

Leonardo was only a few months younger than him. This year he was twenty–eight, and he should understand the cruelty of society.

Marcus said, “The business world is like a battlefield without gunpowder, even more brutal than a real one. Now you want me to spare the Reese family to give them a chance to live

“But if we give them a chance to recover, the first ones they will retaliate against will be me.

“Im not a philanthropist or a fool, I will never let myself and the whole Hartley Group fall into such a predicament.”

Leonardo still held a glimmer of hope. “Marc, I’ve always had a good relationship with Cameron. I can talk to him and get him to promise that if the Reese family recovers. they won’t be enemies with the Hartley Group.”

“Leonardo, haven’t you seen Cameron’s true colors yet? You consider him a friend, but does he think the same of you?” Marcus said remorsefully. He should have told this Innocent guy about the cruelty of society earlier, so he wouldn’t easily trust someone who was not trustworthy.

“Marc, I really know nothing about the business world. I just thought that Cameron and I were good friends, and I hoped you could spare him, hoped that we could all do business well and avoid fights as much as possible. But I also trust you, you must have your reasons. On this issue, Leonardo chose to stand on the side of Marcus, whom he trusted more

“There’s still hope for you.” Marcus turned around and poured two glasses of wine. “Come on, have a drink with me.”

“Why do you want to drink now when Cornelia forbade you to drink?” Leonardo asked

“Just drink if I say so, no more bullshit,” Marcus replied.

Leonardo sat down and downed his glass in one gulp. “I never thought Cornelia’s husband would be you. If I lost to someone else, I wouldn’t accept it, but losing to you, I can only accept my fate.”

Marcus replied, “Even without me, Cornelia wouldn’t like you.”

“Why?” Leonardo asked.

“Because you’re not Cornelia’s type.” Marcus replied.

“Do you think Cornelia likes you for your looks?” Leonardo asked

On this topic, Marcus also raised his glass and downed the wine. He soon felt a hot sensation in his stomach, but he didn’t care, “I think my looks may not be Cornelia’s type If it wasn’t for my grandmother’s introduction, Cornelia wouldn’t have married me, and also would not have given me a second glance.”

–“Marc, do you have some misconceptions about your appearance? Your looks have attracted so many women, and Cornelia is also a woman,” Leonardo said.
