“What? That’s her?” Joel and Seth were both shocked to hear of Iris‘ true identity!

“Hey, that doesn’t make sense. Isn’t Iris one of the people running Cynthion Group? If so, how can she

possibly be the president of Elegante Group at the same time? are Cynthion Group and Elegante

Group somehow related to each other?” Seth and Joel could not help wondering.

“Um, I think I know! Perhaps they are both companies under Leon’s name? This would explain how

Cynthion Group managed to obtain connections to the Thompsons in the first place. It was all Leon’s

doing! “after some thought, this was the only explanation Joel could come up with.

He already witnessed Leon’s medical prowess for himself, and Cynthion Group, coincidentally, was a

pharmaceutical company. With this connection in mind, it was not hard to conclude that Leon and

Cynthion Group were interrelated!

“Yes, that seems very likely!” Seth and Gordon both nodded in agreement.

“Hahaha! This is perfect! God is looking out for us after all!” Joel burst into laughter at this realization.

“What are you laughing about, Joel?” Seth asked rather dubiously. Gordon, too, appeared puzzled by

this.

“Why don’t you stop and think about this? Iris is the key to both Cynthion Group and Elegante Group,

and if we were to capture her, we will not only be able to get our hands on the secret recipe, but we

might even be able to steal the formula to Cynthion Group’s pills and thereby gain control of them as

well! If we manage to pull this off, we’ll be filthy rich!” Joel was grinning from ear to ear in excitement.

“Yes, you’re right! Cynthion Group is far more valuable than Elegante Group, and if we were to gain

control of them, we will be set for life!” Seth and Gordon finally understood what Joel was talking about.

Their faces almost split apart with grins of pure delight.

Joel was right; Cynthion Group was an absolute goldmine, but neither of them ever once imagined they

would be able to bring Cynthion Group down, but now, with Joel’s idea, they finally realized that their

dream was far closer and more tangible than they initially thought!

“Vice President Bailey, since the Thompsons have Leon’s back, I intend to ask Seth to crack them by

kidnapping the two ladies. Do you want in on this?” Joel extended his invitation to Gordon.

Considering Cynthion Group’s potential, neither Leon nor the Thompsons could sit by and watch idly if

Cynthion Group were to end up in their hands! As much as they wanted to, there was no way the

Hiltons would be able to swallow such a large corporation on their own.

The Hughes, on the other hand, was another powerful family in the Southern region and possessed a

strong foundation in the city. As their son–in–law, Gordon commanded great power within the family,

and Joel knew that if he could convince Gordon to join forces, they had a higher likelihood of

succeeding!

With the Hughes involved, the Thompsons would never be able to take them down should they find out

what they were up to!
