Although the agreement clearly stated that if Leo lost, he would have to forfeit all his shares, in his mind, there was no way he could lose. The loser could only be Caitlin.

After all, there was only one month left until the six-month deadline.

While Caitlin had been spending a lot of time in the Gonzales Holdings lab recently, Leo had heard from his sources that she hadn't developed anything. In fact, people in the lab told him she often fell asleep at her workstation for hours at a time.

A lazy good-for-nothing like her thought she could create a star product? In her dreams!

Besides, Caitlin had no prior experience in the cosmetics industry. So what if her medical skills were impressive? So what if her predictions came true? In the end, it was all for his benefit.

The Gonzales Holdings of today was not the sickly, struggling company of the past. It was a reawakened dragon.

And now, that dragon belonged to him!

No one could understand how thrilled Leo was at that moment.

That Stuart was a fool. He had actually transferred all of his shares to Caitlin.

Hilarious! Absolutely hilarious.

Leo wanted to laugh out loud.

After a moment, a thought struck him. He looked at Annie to confirm. "Are you certain Stuart transferred all his shares to Caitlin?"

"Absolutely certain!" Annie nodded. "I heard it directly from Lawyer Winslow myself."

Leo's eyes narrowed.

"Good! Good! Excellent!"

He patted Annie on the shoulder. "Annie, you've done a great service!"

Annie gracefully settled onto Leo's lap, her voice a seductive purr. "Mr. Barrett, once you acquire all of Gonzales Holdings, you won't forget about me, will you?"

"Of course not," Leo said, giving her a playful squeeze. "I could forget anyone, but not you."

"Thank you, Mr. Barrett," Annie cooed, planting a kiss on his cheek.

Leo's expression turned serious. "There's one more thing I need you to do."

"What is it?" Annie asked.

"Take advantage of this moment

and stir up the hype about the bet I have with Freya," Leo instructed.

"Get the reporters to interview Stuart

directly! I want him to per

acknowledge the existence of our agreement.

Leo didn't just want to win; he wanted to win with both fame and fortune. He didn't want any rumors circulating that he had taken advantage of a young girl. But Stuart licly admitted that he knew about and supported Caitlin's decision, the nature of the situation would change entirely.

So, it was crucial that Stuart stood before the media and confirmed it himself. Only

then would his victory be seen as fair and square.

"Of course, Mr. Barrett," Annie nodded. "I'll arrange it immediately."

Although she said she would leave

right away, so

made no move to

get off his lap. Leo reached over and

Even though

closed the blinds, his office was on the 38th floor with no

taller buildings nearby, one could

never be too careful. What if there was a drone?
