Chapter 430 430: You Can’t Say That To Him

Leo shook his head and continued, "I mean, you would never know how cruel he will be to achieve his goal. I admit that I also used contemptible and selfish means for my business. But no one is cruel-hearted than him."

Irish disagreed with him, so she argued, "Leo, you can't, you can't judge a person with the standard in the business world." Even if she didn't know Joseph well, she knew he was a man she could entrust her life to. Perhaps he was cruel-hearted, but business was a competitive activity that was very fierce and unforgiving, so he couldn't take it as an excuse to make a personal argument.

"Well, let me change the way I explain it to you. Joseph would only focus on his work and sacrifice everything for his success and profit. All he does is for his own benefit."

Irish frowned and was a little bit impatient.

"Have you heard about the economic crisis of Blizzard Entertainment?" Leo suddenly mentioned this, which sounded familiar to her. Still, she couldn't remember where she had heard it before, so she stared at Leo questioningly. At the same time, Leo sat cross-legged, leaning on the chair leisurely, saying, "Blizzard Entertainment Firm, Rainbow Entertainment Firm, and Glory Entertainment Firm are three entertainment brokerage companies. Blizzard Entertainment Firm is the company with the largest scale which signed many well-known stars, including Britney White."

She then realized that she just saw the news on TV this morning, but why did he suddenly mention it to her, and was it meaningful? As far as concerned, there were countless cultural companies and some film or brokerage firms closing down in New York while the newly established companies were springing up like bamboo shoots, which was a natural scene for her.

It seemed that Leo had perceived her thoughts, shaking his head, and continued, "But these three companies belong to one person you also know."

Irish was a little shocked by his words, and after a while, she asked tentatively, "Are you sure you know the boss of these three companies?" But then, she remembered that none of her friends were engaged in this industry.

Leo took her hands, played with her slender fingers, and then said thoughtfully, "The boss is Mr. Kim."

"Mr. Kim?" Irish blinked her eyes and was surprised, but soon she realized that she had heard from him that he owned several entertainment companies.

"Blizzard Entertainment Company developed fast these years, so Mr. Kim began expanding his investment. However, his company inflicted heavy losses these days. The stars in his company all broke their contract while their promotion activities also encountered difficulties. The original investment projects also dashed into pieces, and some of the shareholders even withdrew their investment which made the company be trapped in an economic crisis it  ever had before." Leo said indifferently.

Leo's words sent chills to her back, and she knew that Leo would not mention Mr. Kim for some reason because he would never say these meaningless things to her, so she squinted slightly and asked cautiously, "What do you mean?"

"Joseph suddenly intends to be engaged in the culture industry next year, and he even canceled the jewelry appreciation fair that was going to cooperate with a fashion magazine. He has a good relationship with the staff in the bank. And what is more interesting is that a simple change of his idea will affect many companies' operation, including Mr. Kim's Blizzard Entertainment Firm." He stared at her with a faint smile and then asked, "Irish, what do you think of these coincidences?"

Of course, it was not a coincidence. Irish guessed it more accurately than anyone else, so when Leo finished his words, she recalled what Joseph said to her the night before he went on a business trip and said that someone had to get some punishment.

What was his countenance when he said that? She tried her best to recall it, and she remembered that he was as calm as usual and wore a smile when he said that to her, but she still felt upset after hearing that. But she didn't try to figure out the real meaning of his words since she thought the so-called punishment was to frighten Mr. Kim.

All the noises in the airport vanished, and all she could hear was Joseph's voice, and found Leo's faint smile. The sunlight poured in from the window, falling into Leo's eyes which were as profound and severe as Joseph's, but she could see through his inner world.

Seeing that she kept silent for a long time, Leo drew back his eyes, took a glimpse at the flight information on the LED, and said meaningfully, "I know his goal for doing that, but it is too selfish."

"You can't say that to him." Irish frowned even more tightly and argued for Joseph, though her words were even hard to convince herself. "He is trying to protect me."

However, Leo disagreed with her, and instead, he looked at her as if he was pondering, "In fact, you know what I am going to remind you, right? So you are muddled now, aren't you?" Irish stared at him, and her heart trembled. Leo leaned closer to her and uttered word by word, "If you choose to be with him, he will treat others mercilessly, but if you leave him someday, he will be cruel to you. In other words, if he stops loving you someday while you still love him, you will suffer from severe pain, but if you stop loving him while he still loves you, your pain will be more severe."

Hearing that, Irish couldn't help shivering slightly.

Leo straightened his body as soon as he finished his words, staring at her pale face with a complicated expression. Irish clenched her hands and felt her fingers were a little bit cold, and she found nowhere to warm them up. After a long while, her lips twitched slightly, and she said, "I won't leave him, and he will always love me."

"I hope so." Leo smiled faintly and then added, "But who can ensure there will be no incidents between you since you still have so many years to live?"
