Chapter 292 In addition to being well–informed, he knew how to manipulate people. Under such circumstances, she knew that she couldn’t give in. As countless thoughts crossed her mind, she could sense the warmth from Leslie’s palm. She turned to look at him, and he simply nodded as if he was telling her that he would always be around. She knew that he wasn’t staying silent on purpose. He was giving her a chance to explain herself This was a matter of her own virtue, and she had to be the one to defend herself. Anyone else who tried to defend her would be viewed as protecting her. Leslie had her best interests in mind. Aurelia pursed her lips so that her lips regained its crimson color before smiling at Leon. “Mr. Synder, thank you for your compliment. Everyone knows that your father is the most charitable man in Seacester. He donates the most money each year, especially for the cause of providing education to women in rural areas. “Since you were raised in a family with such respect for women, I’m sure that you’ve inherited such generosity as well. How else would you know that I care a lot for my husband? Thank you. She enunciated each word, and Leslie added, “Indeed, they do respect women.” He then forcefully withdrew Aurelia’s hand from Leon’s grip. ab This act was a blatant challenge to Leon, and his expression darkened. Leon and Jackson were entirely different from each other. Jackson was born into wealth. He had been doted on since childhood, and he knew everything about enjoying life. So, he would throw a tantrum if things didn’t go his way. In contrast, Leon was an heir raised with strict upbringing. His every word and action reflected his elite education, forbidding him from acting unrestrained in public. Hence, when Leon reached out to grab hold of Leslie’s collar, it shocked everyone present. Even more surprising was Leslie’s agile response. He dodged Leon’s attempt, almost causing him to fall. Fortunately, Leon’s assistant swiftly caught him. Furiously, Leon pointed at Leslie. “I will show One Technology the consequences of offending me.” “Just because my wife refused to dance with you?” Leslie asked casually. People looked at Leon in hesitation, seemingly surprised that the Synder family had raised such an Chapter 292 heir. Leon straightened his suit angrily and said, “Call your boss out. Don’t play tricks with me.” Glancing at his watch, Leslie said coldly, “Mr. Synder, the timing is just right.” “What timing?” Leon couldn’t comprehend the situation before him. 212 Suddenly, the screens went black, and the service robots around all stopped at the tables. Their large eyes blinked before turning black as well. Aurelia became nervous. Could it be a glitch in the program? Leslie gave her a reassuring look, indicating that this was part of the plan. The black screens and the robots‘ screens slowly lit up, revealing the silhouette of a man seated in the darkness. “Welcome to One Technology’s opening ceremony. I am Ian.” A mechanical voice echoed throughout the entire factory, exuding a futuristic and technological vibe in the spacious venue. At this moment, all of Aurelia’s designs and arrangements took the event to an unprecedented peak. The guests were astonished as they looked around at everything, feeling like they had stepped into the future. No one knew what the future held, but this event allowed room for imagination. Aurelia’s design of the future included seemingly cold high–tech elements, the vitality of plants, and the warmth of the combination of humans and technology. The exposed and rusted machinery from the old era also gave guests a realistic outlook of how the times had changed. People couldn’t help but give their praises in hushed tones. “I’m getting goosebumps. This voice combined with the venue’s setup is simply perfect.” “This is the most unique design I’ve seen in all the banquets I’ve attended recently.” Meanwhile, Aurelia stared at the screen without blinking. Why did the silhouette of this man look so familiar?
