Chapter 166
Chapter 166 Then they saw Dylan shaking something off his coat while running and crying. “There is a bug! It’s big! Help…” Suddenly, there was a mess in the classroom. Those children not brave enough quickly got together and stayed far away from Dylan for fear that the big bug he mentioned would creep up on them. Even Dylan’s followers kept distance from him at this moment. Yanna and Kevin hid in the crowd. Looking at Dylan who was shouting and screaming, they exchanged their eyes with each other, fighting back their smiles. Rosalind knew that the reason why so many shareholders of Brooks Group suddenly showed off here was that they wanted to force Leonardo to terminate the cooperation with BUT Group and drive her out of Brooks Group. Rosalind felt wronged. It was not her fault, and the trouble was made by others. However, she was still regarded as the only one that should be blamed. Later, Rosalind thought that she came to Brooks Group for the purpose of finding out whether the poisoning case that involved products from Jansen Group five years ago was related to Brooks Group and Leonardo. Although the truth had not been fully found out, according to her preliminary investigation, it did have nothing to do with Leonardo. So, it would be meaningless for her to continue to stay in Brooks Group. Moreover, Rosalind felt that she was indeed too close to Leonardo recently. They were more connected than ever, which drastically influenced Rosalind’s attitude towards Leonardo. Her heart always kept racing when seeing Leonardo. Nevertheless, she had tried her best to restrain her feelings and keep a distance from Leonardo. But Rosalind still could not calm herself down. At present, Leonardo was kind and caring for her instead of being indifferent like before. As a woman, it was also easy for Rosalind to be lured by a man’s sweet words.

Thinking of this, Rosalind felt that it would be better for her to take the initiative to end the cooperation with Leonardo’s company and leave rather than let Leonardo make the decision under the pressure of shareholders since she didn’t have to be awkward in this way. But when Rosalind walked out of the official building of Brooks Group, she felt sad. However, she didn’t know whether she was sad for Brooks Group or Leonardo. When Leonardo was about to catch up with Rosalind, he was stopped by Virginia. “Leonardo, the shareholders are waiting for you. Where are you going?” Virginia actually knew that Leonardo wanted to go for Rosalind. She was relieved that Rosalind left voluntarily, so she must stop Leonardo from getting her back. “It’s none of your business. Go away!” With his eyes cruel, Leonardo uttered the words in a cold voice without caring about Virginia’s feelings. However, even though Leonardo was so impolite to Virginia, Virginia still refused to give way. “You’re right, but you have to think about it for yourself. The shareholders are not happy at all. If you leave them alone, the shareholders will become more dissatisfied with you.” The persuasion was so sincere as if Virginia had been really worried about Leonardo. But Leonardo knew her true purpose. “Virginia, don’t pretend to be nice to me. It makes me sick. From now on, you are no longer the design director of Brooks Group. Never come back here again!” Since yesterday, Leonardo had suspected that everything Rosalind suffered recently was due to Virginia.
2/5 17:121 Chapter 166 After all, Virginia had tried to harm Rosalind more than once before. Rosalind was once locked in the bathroom after being splashed on and fell into the lake with Virginia. Leonardo had asked someone to investigate those events, and all the evidence demonstrated that Virginia was guilty. Leonardo knew that Virginia had always wanted Rosalind to leave Brooks Group, but he didn’t expect her to use these immoral methods to achieve her goal. However, because of the previous two cases, Leonardo was still highly skeptical of Virginia. Particularly, Virginia stood by Lucy without any hesitation yesterday and encouraged employees and shareholders to drive Rosalind away, which showed that Virginia must have been engaged in this plot to force Rosalind to leave. Although Leonardo hadn’t found the most solid evidence to accuse Virginia yet, he had the freedom to do what he wanted. Now, he was unhappy and didn’t want to show mercy to Virginia. Since Virginia was going against his willingness, he decided to be ruthless to her. “What? How can you say that, Leonardo?” Leonardo’s words were so unexpected that Virginia was rooted to the spot. “I’m the CEO of Brooks Group while you’re just a design director. Definitely, you’re under my control. If you keep a low key, I can ensure your comfortable life. However, if you are too greedy, I’ll deprive you of everything.” Those words helped Leonardo vent his anger. He should have done this long ago so that Virginia could disappear earlier without making so much trouble. “Your mother won’t agree with you!” Although Virginia was a little panicked, she still forced herself to calm down.
“You don’t have to worry about my mom. Since you always complain that there is no time for Dylan, it will be better for you to resign now, then 12.10 Chapter 166 you will have plenty of time to accompany him. I’m sure Mom will be happy to see that.” After saying that, Leonardo mercilessly pushed Virginia away and threw her on the sofa. Seeing Leonardo rush out in a hurry without even looking back at her, Virginia turned gloomy. She clenched her fists and hit the sofa hard with fierce anger in her eyes. “Leonardo, since you are so ruthless to me, I won’t let you go. Rosalind, I’ll ruin your life completely!” Thinking of this, Virginia took out her phone. When Leonardo returned to the Deep Mountain Villa, Lana told him that. Rosalind didn’t come back. Leonardo panicked immediately. He had no idea where was Rosalind if she didn’t come back. At this time, he realized that the situation was similar to what happened five years ago. That time, Rosalind left secretly after returning home. Leonardo made countless calls and searched for her in the places where Rosalind often went, but he failed as if Rosalind had disappeared from this world. Thinking of this, Leonardo couldn’t remain calm and became frightened and worried. Never could he let Rosalind escape again. While considering this, Leonardo called Rosalind again, but there was still a cold and robotic female voice on the other end of the phone. “The number you dialed is busy now.” Rosalind hung up directly. Leonardo frowned and called Susan, Rosalind’s secretary. But Susan also didn’t know where Rosalind was. In desperation, Leonardo had to ask Thomas for help. “I’ll give you five minutes, and I need Rosalind’s whereabouts five minutes later.”
“Five minutes? It’s too difficult…” 4/5 17:12 Chapter 166 Thomas sounded confused on the other end of the phone, but before he could finish his words, Leonardo had already hung up.
