CHAPTER 151
Sonia's face twisted with rage almost instantly."Oh, please!" Sonia snapped angrily as she finally found her voice. She threw both hands into the air in frustration before glaring fiercely at me. "Would you stop acting as though you're some kind of genius who planned every single thing that happened?"She glared before pointing an accusing finger directly at my face."You keep talking as though all of this happened because of you," Sonia said through clenched teeth, her voice becoming louder with every word she spoke. "Meanwhile, you know very well that you were nothing more than an ordinary man who happened to get lucky."I remained completely silent.I simply looked at her calmly and allowed her to continue speaking.Seeing that I wasn't interrupting her only encouraged her further."You knew absolutely nothing about the strange illness that suddenly attacked every one of us," Sonia declared loudly as she folded her arms tightly across her chest. "Don't stand there pretending other
CHAPTER 150
LEONARD'S POVNearly an hour later, the annual business event finally came to an end. One by one, the guests began leaving the magnificent banquet hall, chatting excitedly about everything that had happened during the ceremony. Everywhere I looked, businessmen were still discussing Evergreen Herbs, the astonishing forty-billion-dollar transaction, and the unbelievable revelation from the owner of the company about the Davenports family.Ava and I walked out of the building side by side. She still carried the crystal trophy I had received on stage, holding it carefully in both hands. A satisfied smile remained on her face.She glanced at me before letting out a soft laugh."Boss," Ava said with obvious admiration, "I don't think anyone attending tonight will ever forget what happened here."I smiled faintly."I don't think so either," I replied calmly as we continued walking toward our waiting Rolls-Royce SUV.Ava shook her head in amazement."I've attended many business ceremonies,"
CHAPTER 149
The third truth was perhaps the most humiliating of all. The secret they had desperately hoped to hide from everyone attending tonight's event...The fact that they had emptied every single liquid asset they owned… Had now become public knowledge before nearly every influential businessman, investor, entrepreneur, and government official in Denark.There was no taking it back and everything had been exposed.The humiliation they felt at that moment was simply beyond words.Sonia suddenly grabbed her mother's arm so tightly that her fingernails almost dug into her skin.Her breathing had become fast and uneven, while panic completely filled her face. Her eyes darted anxiously around the banquet hall as she noticed more and more people staring directly at her family.She felt as though every pair of eyes in the room had become a sharp blade piercing into her heart."We have to leave," Sonia said desperately, her voice trembling uncontrollably as she looked first at her mother and then a
CHAPTER 148
LEONARD'S POVThen suddenly...One middle-aged businessman slowly rose from his seat near the center of the hall.He adjusted his expensive suit before looking toward the stage with an expression filled with curiosity."Mr. Leonard Storm," the businessman called out respectfully as he raised one hand slightly to get everyone's attention. "May I ask you a question?"I smiled politely."Of course," I replied calmly. "Please go ahead."The businessman nodded gratefully before speaking."If what you just told us is true," he said thoughtfully while glancing toward the frozen Davenport family, "and the Davenport family truly spent forty billion dollars purchasing medicine from your company..."He paused briefly."...doesn't that mean," he continued carefully, "that the Davenport family has practically exhausted all of their liquid assets?"The moment those words echoed across the hall...Complete silence fell.Every single eye immediately turned toward Sonia and the rest of her family.Son
CHAPTER 147
LEONARD'S POV She simply stared at me. Her eyes were so wide that they looked ready to fall out of their sockets.I smiled politely."May I?" I asked calmly as I reached toward the crystal trophy.Mrs. Davenport didn't answer. She merely continued staring at me with an expression filled with disbelief.When I gently pulled on the award… She instinctively held onto it and her hands simply hadn't recovered from the shock.The crystal trophy remained between us for a brief moment.I smiled again."Thank you," I said politely before applying a little more force.The award slowly slipped from her stiff fingers.Only after it had completely left her hands did she finally blink. She lowered her empty palms and continued staring blankly at me.I held the beautiful crystal award in my hand for a brief moment before nodding respectfully."Thank you very much," I said with a calm smile as I looked first at Mrs. Davenport and then at her husband. "I truly appreciate this honor."My eyes settled
CHAPTER 146
LEONARD'S POVWithout even realizing that her legs had begun moving, Sonia slowly took one hesitant step after another, unconsciously following behind me as I calmly made my way toward the stage. She looked almost like someone trapped inside a nightmare, desperately hoping to wake up at any moment."...No..." Sonia whispered under her breath, her voice trembling so badly that it was barely audible even to the people standing closest to her. She slowly shook her head from side to side, refusing to believe what her own eyes were showing her."This... this can't be happening," she muttered weakly as another unconscious step carried her closer toward the stage.A few seats away, Greg immediately noticed that Sonia had unexpectedly gotten to her feet and was slowly following after me without saying a word. Confusion immediately spread across his face."Sonia!" Greg called out anxiously as he caught up to her and reached for her arm. His brows were tightly knitted together, and his voic
