Ch. 2771..2780
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2771-"Yeah! Renee's right! Hugh's actually Leon, the chairman of Cynthion Group!
” Hugo nodded.
Since Renee already exposed the truth, he could not hide it any longer. Hence, he could only admit to it.
"But," Caleb, Jayden, and the others froze in shock.
Jayden always thought highly of himself and looked down on Hugh.
Since the profit division Hugh proposed was hardly ideal for him, he was appalled by Hugh.
That was the reason why he actively tried to prevent Hugo from acquiring a pharmaceutical firm for Hugh and plotted to negotiate directly with Leon to obtain more profit.
Yet, the reality delivered a resounding slap to his face. To his bewilderment, Hugh was Leon himself all along and Jayden made a fool of himself.
Instantly, he could not decide how he felt about it "Hugo, if Hugh's Leon, why didn't you tell US about it?"
Snapping out of the initial shock, Caleb and the elders' expressions darkened.
They only refused to work with Cynthion Group arrogantly because they thought Hugh was a mere vice president and they wanted to manipulate Hugh into obtaining more profit.
If they knew that Hugh was Leon, the chairman of Cynthion Group, they would have never acted that way.
They would have agreed to the deal immediately and the situation would not have escalated this far.
"Grandpa, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, but Mister Wolf didn't let me.
Besides, I've hinted countless times that Hugh is extremely close with Mister Wolf. You just listened to Uncle and attempted to profit more without giving Mister Wolf any respect," Hugo smiled with resignation.
"Well," Caleb and the elders were all rendered speechless as Hugo was merely telling the truth.
Hugo reminded them about it multiple times and tried his best to convince them to accept the profit division Leon proposed.
However, they were all under Jayden's influence and attempted to get more out of the deal.
This was hardly Hugo's fault.
If Renee did not appear in time and told the truth about Hugh, they would have acted following Jayden's plan.
Once that happened, Loen would give up on the Morrisons and decide to work with the Dagleshs instead.
It was no exaggeration to say that Jayden's idea almost cost them the partnership with Cynthion Group.
Instantly, Caleb and the elders were all glaring daggers at Jayden.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2772-"Dad, I didn't expect Hugh to be Leon. Besides, I was just looking after our interests. I didn't mean to mislead everyone," Jayden said stubbornly.
"Why you!" Caleb was furious.
However, Jayden was not wrong as he interfered to fight for more profit for the family.
Still, the family's gain was one matter, and the fact that Jayden was arrogant and reckless was something else.
He came close to costing them the opportunity to work with Cynthion Group multiple times, which proved that he was short-sighted and hardly comparable to Hugo and his father in terms of their ability to run a business.
Caleb and the elders always highly regarded Jayden and treated him as the future heir. However, Jayden's behavior was foolish when it came to the negotiation with Cynthion.
They were all extremely disappointed and at this point, Caleb completely gave up on making Jayden his heir.
If Jayden took after him and became the leader of the family, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Grandpa, whether Hugh is Leon doesn't matter. You don't know this, but Elder Daglesh invited Leon to be a guest at their mansion this morning and Leon agreed to it! Right now, we need to find a way to secure the partnership before the Dagleshs do!" Renee said hastily and explained what happened earlier that day.
"What? The Dagleshs are in the move as well?"
"Damn it!"
Caleb and the elders were shocked.
None of them expected the Dagleshs to act in secret to fight for the partnership as well.
If they were not mistaken, Elder Daglesh and Jensen were likely well- prepared if they were inviting Leon over.
To make matters worse, Leon accepted the invitation, meaning he preferred the Dagleshs.
Once he got to the Dagleshs' mansion, he would likely decide to work with the Dagleshs instead.
Their hearts sank and their expression darkened.
She arrived late and did not know that Hugo already succeeded in acquiring a pharmaceutical firm.
If Hugo was still struggling on the matter, it would be almost impossible for the Morrisons to defeat the Dagleshs.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2773-"I've already found a suitable company and I should be able to get all the paperwork done by tomorrow afternoon," Hugo said.
"That's good, but getting the paperwork done by tomorrow afternoon may be a little too late. You need to hurry things up, Hugo," Renee was relieved but still wished that Hugo could hurry for safety measures.
That way, they could avoid any unexpected interference and obtain a partnership with Cynthion Group.
"Renee's right. Hugo, you need to speed things up and try to finish things up by tomorrow morning. Whatever you need, well cooperate. Mistakes aren't allowed!" Caleb said and placed all his hope on Hugo.
The other elders felt the same.
Due to Renee's interference, they all regained their composure and no longer trusted Jayden. Instead, they placed their hope on Hugo.
"I'll do my best," Hugo nodded.
"Dad, it's still not appropriate! I told you that Hugo's theory about the pharmaceutical firm is just a guess and it may not be what Leon wants. If Hugo's wrong and we go ahead to acquire that firm, well suffer great losses!" Jayden objected hesitantly again.
He also noticed that his proposal would not work after learning that Hugh was Leon. However, that did not mean that he agreed with Hugo.
He was worried that Hugo’s plan would fail and create unnecessary loss. On the other hand, if Hugo succeeded in obtaining the opportunity to work with Cynthion Group, Hugo would win Caleb and the elders over and they would grow to trust him more.
Jayden wanted something else.
"You moron! How can you be so stubborn and still insist on meddling after all that has happened? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Caleb roared.
However, Dagleshs were fully prepared to take the opportunity and Leon seemed keen to accept them as partners.
If the Morrisons wished to turn the tables, they would have to take a leap of faith and there were no other options.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2774-"But," Jayden was reluctant to give up but was immediately interrupted by Renee.
"Uncle, you are worried over nothing. Leon has already started preparing for the establishment of the branch. The pharmaceutical firm we acquired for him would be exactly what he needs. We won't be working in vain."
Her tone was determined and unquestionable.
"What a joke! You're not Leon, so how would you know that this is what he needs? Did he tell you that himself?" Jayden scoffed.
"Of course, I know. Even if Leon didn't put it into words, it showed in his actions," Renee said calmly and proceeded to explain how Leon recruited a saleswoman.
The fact that Leon recruited the saleswoman to be the branch's vice president in preparation for the next step.
Leon had no connection in the western region and if he wanted to establish a firm here, acquiring a preexisting pharmaceutical firm would be the quickest option.
Hence, she could be certain that Hugo was wise.
So long as Hugo managed to complete all the paperwork before Leon visited the Dagleshs, she was certain that the Morrisons would obtain the opportunity to work with Cynthion Group.
"Great!"
"Hugo, you were right all along!"
"Looks like there's hope for US to win and become Cynthion Group's partner!
Caleb and the elders were overjoyed as they were just worried about spending a fortune in vain.
Upon learning that Leon was already preparing to establish a branch in the western region, they realized how perceptive Hugo was.
So long as they followed Hugo’s plan, they would stand a high chance of defeating the Dagleshs.
The few of them instantly relaxed.
"Uncle, is there anything else you'd like to say?" Renee teased.
"I-" Jayden was rendered speechless and his expression darkened.
His reaction was a striking contrast compared to the others.
"Alright," Jayden's expression soured and he could only swallow his pride.
Not wanting to stay any longer, he left gloomily.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2775-The next morning in a hotel room, Renee arrived shortly after Leon woke up.
"Renee, why are you here?" Leon was quite surprised that Renee would come to him two days in a row.
"Leon, I came because I needed to speak with you about something," Renee said.
Last night, Hugo and the others agreed to speed up the process of the acquisition. However, the paperwork required time.
To prevent any accident from taking place, she came to the hotel to look for Leon early in the morning.
This was her way of stalling and preventing Leon from visiting the Dagleshs before Hugo completed all the procedures.
If Leon ended up working with the Dagleshs, everything would be too late.
"What is it?" Leon asked.
"I'll tell you about it later on. Just come with me. I'll take you to a place. You'll know what it is once you arrive." Renee intentionally acted mysteriously.
"Um, alright! Let’s go!" Leon was thoughtful and could not figure out what she was trying to do.
Hence, he intended to follow her to see what she was planning.
"There's no hurry! You've just woken up and probably haven't had your breakfast, right? Let's go for breakfast first," Renee said with a smile.
"Sure." Leon nodded.
The two headed down and had breakfast. Afterward, Renee first took Leon to walk around the nearby district.
She did not have something important to discuss with Leon and was just trying to buy Hugo more time.
Using shopping as an excuse, she took Leon to the center area and shopped for around three hours.
It was not until she received a call from Hugo that she finally stopped.
After the call, Leon finally lost patience and asked in confusion, "Renee, what exactly are you trying to do? I thought that you were taking me somewhere.
Where are we going?"
"Don't rush. I'll take you there now!" Renee smiled.
She just received a call from Hugo saying that all preparations were in place.
Since she successfully stalled Leon, she now prepared to take him to Hugo.
With that, the two left and drove toward the outskirts.
"Alright, we're here! Leon, follow me!" Renee said and strode into the company.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2776-"Leon, what do you think of this company? Can it compare to Cynthion Group in terms of facilities and scale?" Renee asked with a smile.
"It's not bad. It's grand with sufficient facilities, making it comparable to Cynthion Group," Leon said.
"Great! That means you are satisfied with this company, right?" Renee became even more confident.
"Yeah, I am! But why does that matter?" Leon nodded, before realizing something was off.
"It's good to know that you are happy with this, Mister Wolf!" Just then, a refreshing voice sounded.
Hugo strode out of the pharmaceutical firm with two middle-aged men who were dressed in suits, looking like the stereotypical elite.
"Mister Morrison, why are you here?’ Leon was surprised to see her.
He glanced at Renee, then at Hugo in bafflement, not knowing what they were up to.
"Mister Wolf, this pharmaceutical firm was acquired by the Morrisons as a gift to Cynthion Group. If you are satisfied with it, you can have it. With this firm, you would save a lot of time and effort when you establish your branch here,' Hugo said with a smile.
"What?" Leon was shocked when he finally realized what they were upto.
It turned out that Hugo secretly acquired a pharmaceutical firm on his behalf and intended to give it to him as a gift.
This completely caught him by surprise.
"Mister Wolf, I've taken care of all the paperwork and I just have a share transfer agreement here pending for a signature! So long as you sign here, I will transfer the share to under your name. What do you think?" Hugo asked with anticipation.
With that, one of the middle-aged men presented an agreement to Leon.
"Well," Leon did not accept the agreement and fell into silence instead.
He did come to the western region to establish a branch for Cynthion Group.
However, Jayden was so unstable and Leon preferred to work with the Dagleshs.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2777-"Leon, what happened before is our fault, but Hugo never meant for things to turn out this way. He's always wanted to work with Cynthion Group and has worked hard for it. Out of consideration for his effort, please agree to partner with US," Renee chimed in when she spotted the troubled look on Leon's face.
She stared at him, doe-eyed, pleading for Leon to hand over the opportunity to the Morrisons.
"I-" Leon paled.
He, too, knew that Hugo was a talented individual.
Back in the southern region, Hugo saw through the potential of Cynthion Gorup and decisively sought a partnership on behalf of the Morrisons.
That was how they reached the initial agreement.
This proved that Hugo was perceptive and sharp.
On top of that, Hugo was reliable as well.
To work with Cynthion Group, he managed to gather all the herbs Leon needed for the alchemical pills within a short period, then acquire a pharmaceutical firm to resolve Leon's concern for the branch in the western region.
This showed just how sincere Hugo was.
If Leon considered only Hugo and not the others in the Morrisons, Cynthion Group would only benefit from working with such a talented person.
However, Leon was still concerned about Jayden, who was extremely arrogant.
Hugo was a junior in the third generation and may not be able to make a lot of important decisions.
If he handed the opportunity to the Morrisons and Jayden continued to meddle, it would cause trouble for Cynthion Group and this was not what he wanted.
"Mister Morrison, let me be straight with you. I initially wanted to work with the Morrisons as well, but Mister Jayden's meddling disappointed me. I don't want him to be in the way of Cynthion Group's development in the western region. If you can promise that he won't have any involvement in this, I can consider working with the Morrisons," Leon said.
If he could eliminate Jayden as a potential threat to the partnership, he could consider working with the Morrisons.
V
Indeed, he could tell from the night before that his grandfather completely lost hope in Jayden.
Jayden's foolishness almost cost them the opportunity to work with Cythion Group and caused the others a lot of trouble.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2778-"Good!" Upon learning that Jayden was punished, Leon realized that Caleb and the elders recognized their mistakes and were relieved.
He considered for a moment and added, "I have another demand! If we form a partnership, I want all matters to be controlled by you or Miss Morrison! Others, including Elder Morrison, will have no right to interfere with any decision-making!
Otherwise, I reserve the right to revoke the partnership at anytime!" Leon said.
Since Caleb and the elders were too arrogant, Leon had a horrible impression on them all.
Though they recognized their mistakes, he was still concerned.
For safety measures, he wished for Hugo to be fully in charge to avoid the others from meddling and causing any loss for Cynthion Group.
Apart from Hugo, Leon also had a decent impression of Renee after spending a few days with her.
Back at the hotel, he was prepared to give up on the Morrisons. It was Renee's words that changed his mind and convinced him to give the Morrisons another chance.
When Elder Daglesh and Jensen invited Leon to the Morrisons' mansion, Renee acted swiftly and postponed the meeting to protect the Morrisons.
From these two incidents, he could tell that Renee was smart and had great potential.
If a partnership was formed between the Morrisons and Cynthion Group and Hugo found himself preoccupied, Renee could take charge instead and Leon would find that acceptable.
At the moment, Hugo and Renee were the only two he trusted and the other Morrisons were to gain his trust.
"Sure! Mister Wolf, I'll agree to this request in my grandpa's place. Renee or I'll be fully responsible for all matters related to Cynthion Group in the future," Hugo nodded.
He knew that Leon's request was merely meant to ensure the stability of the partnership and it was not a hard request at all.
Regardless, a business deal was meant to benefit both parties, so stability was preferred.
This was something that would benefit the Morrisons as well, so there was no way that Hugo would reject it.
"It's settled, then!" Leon said.
Seeing how sincere Hugo was, Leon decided to partner with the Morrisons.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2779-"It's fine! Mister Wolf, my grandpa, and the elders have offended you. Consider this pharmaceutical firm a gift from US as an apology. You don't have to pay me back," Hugo smiled.
Though they spent a fortune on this pharmaceutical firm, he successfully obtained a partnership with Cynthion Group.
This was more than enough.
To make up for the Morrisons' mistakes and show how sincere they were, he intended to offer the company as a gift.
"No way! I didn't do anything to deserve this. The Morrisons acquired this firm for Cynthion Group and this saves me a lot of time and effort. I'm already thankful for that. I can't just let the Morrisons pay for it!" Leon shook his head.
There were appropriate ways to make profits.
This was a large pharmaceutical firm that would cost hundreds of millions.
As a friend, he could accept a gift from Hugo that cost a few million, but not a firm that cost this much.
He could not possibly accept something so expensive and allow the Morrisons to suffer such great financial loss.
Besides, he was not short of money since he owned Cynthion Group and Elegante Group.
"But," Hugo tried to argue but was interrupted by Leon.
"There are no buts, this is an entirely different matter! If you refuse to take my money, I won't accept this company!" Leon's tone was determined and unquestionable.
"Well, alright, then! Mister Wolf, since you insist on paying, I'll take you up on that," Hugo was resigned.
Since Leon refused the gift from the Morrisons, he could only give up.
With that, Leon paid Hugo the money he paid to acquire the firm and signed the share transfer agreement.
Apart from that, Hugo prepared the contract for the partnership between the Morrisons and Cynthion Group.
Leon signed on it as well and an alliance was formed.
Not daring to show any sign of disrespect, they immediately greeted Leon respectfully.
"Hello," Leon nodded and responded politely.
He then turned to Hugo in confusion, wondering what he meant by this.
The Ex Husbands Revenge Chapter 2780-“Mister Wolf, here's the thing; You've just taken over this company and may not know much about it. If you want to transform it into a branch for Cynthion Group, you'll need quite a lot of time. These two are talented individuals and capable. If it's okay with you, | can arrange for them to help with managing all related matters so that your branch can be up and running as soon as possible," Leon explained.
"| see!" Realization dawned on Leon.
Now that he reached an agreement with the Morrisons, his priority was to establish the branch and produce alchemical pills as soon as possible.
However, the need for alchemical pills was high and this would take him a lot of time and effort.
He was only one person and may not be able to manage this branch or transform this pharmaceutical firm into a branch for Cynthion Group.
Hugo was considerate enough to consider his struggles and even arranged for two talented individuals to manage the new branch.
This worked perfectly for Leon and he couldn't ask for more. On top of that, he also recruited the saleswoman, Harley, as the vice president. With the three of them managing the branch, he could focus on producing alchemical pills in preparation for the sales drive.novelbin
“Mister Morrison, thank you," Leon said with a smile. Suddenly, he recalled something. "Mister Morrison, there's something else that | need your help with," he said hesitantly.
"What is it?" Hugo asked.
"| have two companies under my name. One is Cynthion Group and another is called Elegante Group. It's a cosmetic company. | didn't just come to establish a branch for Cynthion Group, but also one for Elegante Group. If possible, | need the Morrisons’ help to acquire a cosmetic firm as well," Leon said.
He knew that he had no connection in the western region and it would be quite challenging to acquire a cosmetic firm.
However, it would be different for the Morrisons.
As the leader of all families in the western region, the Morrisons had a great network in the western region and they could easily acquire a cosmetic firm.
This would save him a lot of trouble. "Sure, no problem!" Hugo agreed readily.
Leon's request was a simple one and there was no reason he should refuse.
"Alright. Thank you in advance! If the Morrisons get this done, I'llincrease the profit portion for the Morrisons! Let's make it twenty-five percent."
