Max thought, ‘She was quite bold.’ Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

The more Leila said, the more excited she became. In the end, she was even about to spit. Then Leila was stopped by Max in time. "All right. When the resort is completed, you will be in charge of the plan for this land."

Leila was shocked and looked at him in disbelief. This was not a game for children. If she made some mistakes, then several million may not be enough to pay for the loss.

"You dare not?" Max said in an indifferent tone.

Leila hurriedly responded, "I dare!"

As long as he didn't afraid of loss, she had nothing to fear.

With a smile in the corners of Max's mouth, he looked at Leila as if she was a fish that had been hooked. His thin lips moved slightly. "After getting on the right track, 40% of the profits will be marked under your name."

He threw thousands of red coins on her with this simple sentence. Leila pretended to be calm. Max was so rich that few people could compare with him.

He was rich and could do whatever he wanted.

After everything was decided, Max drove back. Leila got excited all the way. After all, if the farm succeeded, forty percent of the profit would be almost enough to support her whole life. The first step to revenge was to become strong.

Leila took a look at Max who was driving. ‘ I could understand it as he was helping me.’

Noticing the gaze from the little woman, Max didn't change his face. He pursed his lips and looked the same as usual. Yet Leila felt him attractive, then she turned away hurriedly, but she didn't realize that the man by her side was smiling.

It seemed that they got along well with each other.

When they returned to the company, Leila was the one who was in the spotlight. After all, the man who drove her back in person was none other than Max, the CEO of the Mu Group!

Since when, the name of "Max" had become a fairy tale, turning from the teenager financial tycoon to the representative of power and money. Almost all the women in the D city dreamed that one day they could climb into his bed and become his woman, turning into a powerful woman.

At last, the dream of many women was realized by Leila. The difference was that she was not an ordinary female, but a special one. As a woman born in a rich family, she had been envied by her peers since childhood. Although the Song Group was not on par with the Mu Group, she had been born superior to other ordinary women.

Stepping on the high heels, Leila walked into the revolving door of the Song Group lordly. With the admiration or jealousy of many people, Leila felt cold in her heart for she disdained to use her body for such an eyesight but she wanted revenge. While thinking about it carefully, she did not lose anything as Max's woman.

An involuntary smile appeared on Leila's face. When she entered the office, she didn't receive the care from Freddy. Leila suddenly realized that maybe Johnson had let down his guard on her.

Just as Leila was about to sit down for a rest, someone approached from the front door. Leila looked at Daisy in the opposite, with a flash of hatred in her beautiful eyes. Yet Daisy did not notice this change at all. Daisy casually sat on the sofa with fingers being around the hair on her chest. In Leila's eyes, Daisy was very annoying.

"Oh, I was wondering why I didn't see you this morning. It turned out you were with Max." Said Daisy.

With a cold smile on her face, Leila said, "Yeah, Max has taken me to buy jewelries this morning. Do you think they look good on me, sister?"

As Leila said, she stretched out her slender hand. The light shining on her slender fingers made Daisy grit her teeth. The platinum ring with a pear shaped diamond and two slimmer long stick diamonds is obviously the most expensive Harry stone in the market. Daisy liked the diamond at the first sight when she engaged with Veron, but he didn't buy it for her. The reason was that it was too expensive!

The face of Daisy darkened. Seeing Leila's complacent look, Daisy wanted to tear her up!

‘Why? Why am I not as great as her? In terms of appearance, I am absolutely confident, but compared with Leila, I’m still not dignified enough. In terms of talent, I think I am better than Leila. But out of the company, who would care about my talent?’

The hatred of Daisy was undisguised. Looking at it, Leila was cold in the heart. ‘My mother was made into a vegetative state by you, Daisy and Sophia, then you took away my mother's shares little by little. How could I stand it!’

Leila calmed herself down. She couldn't show any emotion now, or all her efforts would be in vain. She took a deep breath and gently stroked the ring in her hand. It was given to her by Max last night. To make him feel she liked it, Leila wore the ring on her finger. She didn't expect that it would be made use of at this time. Leila deliberately softened her tone and said, "Sister, if you like it..."

Leila prolonged her tone on purpose. With a glimmer of hope in Daisy's eyes, she wondered whether Leila was going to give the ring to her.

What Leila said next completely got on Daisy's nerves.

"Ask my brother-in-law to buy it for you."

Leila said as if it was a matter of course. And indeed, what she said was regarded as a matter of course. Yet her words just hit on Daisy's sore spot. Then Daisy stood up all of a sudden. With a frosty face, Daisy said in a stiff tone, "I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now."

Then Daisy left in her high heels in a hurry, leaving Leila in the room.

Looking at her back, Leila sneered coldly. The resentment in her eyes was so great that it seemed to almost burn a hole in the back of Daisy. Leila tapped the table unconsciously with her fingers. ‘Daisy and her mother have made me and my mother suffer so much. If I don't return fire, it could hardly be justifiable.’
