Chapter 254
After listening to what happened, Iris was already sure that the Blue Star of the Sea was genuine!
Most importantly, the Blue Star of the Sea was something incredibly valuable. Leon was not someone with that
much money or power, but was willing to give something so amazing to her.
Her heart was always like a cold lake, but the lake suddenly had a few ripples on it.
“It's not just being lucky, it’s absolutely crazy!” Ashwin’s face soured.
He wondered what kind of relationship Leon could have with the Shears. He finally understood that it was just
that Leon happened to be lucky enough to get to know Benedict.
Leon ignored Ashwin and continued, “Yes, it's because of that, that I got friendly with Elder Shear. | gave him a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcall last night and told him that the company needed smaterials, and he agreed to work with us...”
“So that’s the case! You did very well! It looks like | made the right choice letting you join the company!” Iris had
a smile on her face as she praised Leon.
When she arranged for Leon to join the company back then, she was actually a bit worried. She was worried that
Leon would cause trouble in the company using her name.
Yet, it seemed that she over-thought things. Leon first managed to secure the cooperation of the Wick Group,
then developed so many high-end products to carve a path for the company’s future.
She really regarded Leon's abilities highly at that moment!
Hearing Iris’s praise for Leon, Ashwin’s face darkened.
As he was feeling frustrated, he finally realized that something was wrong.
“Leon, what's the meaning of this? Getting raw materials is clearly my responsibility, but you didn’t even tell me
before you signed an agreement with the Shear Group yourself! Do you even respectas a vice president at
all?!” Ashwin pointed at Leon and shouted, almost losing his temper.
Not too long ago, Leon took his power away over production after overstepping. Just a few days passed, and
Leon was doing the swith raw materials!
Was Leon trying to take that away from him too?
“Mister Mercer, | was just trying to keep production going since the materials were lacking. | forgot to notify you.
| wasn’t trying to overstep myself...”
“Also, we made a bet just now. You can’t biteif | took out the contract! Men should keep to their word. Surely
you won't go back on them?” Leon said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You...” Ashwin was absolutely furious, finally realizing that he fell for Leon's tricks.
However, he agreed to the bet. Even if he was angry, he could not embarrass himself like that.
At that moment, Iris realized that Leon overstepped as well. She glared at Leon in frustration.
“Mister Mercer, Leon did this for the company. Even though it’s his fault for overstepping his boundaries, it can
be forgiven.” Iris consoled Ashwin.
After that, she felt like she was protecting Leon too much, and added, “Leon, don’t ever do this again!”
“Yes, | won't do it again,” Leon quickly assured with a smile.
Ashwin’s face was red. He already lost the bet, but Iris still protected Leon. It was a tough pill for him to
swallow.
