Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward )
Ice-Cold Ceo Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) Chapter 161

Chapter 161 

Although they didn’t know how Storm Group was progressing, Leo and Isabella still felt a sense of urgency. 

“Mr. Roy, how’s it going?” Leo asked. 

Marc felt a little guilty. 

What progress? Where could he get the progress? 

But if he answered honestly, he would be driven away immediately. 

Marc couldn’t bear to lose such a high salary. 

So, he pretended to be very confident. “Don’t worry. Everything is going well.” 

“Can you show me the details?” Leo asked. 

Marc’s heart skipped a beat, and then he braced herself to take out some old programs. 

Leo started reading seriously. 

Marc was anxiously waiting. 

Was he going to be seen through and driven away? 

Just as Marc was feeling uneasy, Leo nodded and said, “Very good. You did a good job. I heard that studying Al is very expensive. If you need more money, just tell me.” 

At this moment, Marc felt extremely guilty and did not dare to ask for more. He quickly said, “No, no, the investment you gave last time…” 

“You must’ve finished it, right?” Isabella asked with a smile. 

Marc looked at her blankly. 

Isabella spoke softly, “Leo, building a high–tech laboratory is not cheap at all. The 2 million dollars you gave him earlier was probably not enough at all. I’m guessing Mr. Roy even used the salary you paid him in advance. You can’t disappoint Mr. Roy for his selfless contributions.” 

Chapter 161 

Leo was at his most arrogant moment. When he heard this, he immediately waved his 

hand and said, “Mr. Roy, you don’t have to spend your own money. I’ll transfer another 2 million dollars to you. You can spend as much as you want.” 

Marc was confused. 

But he was not stupid, so he did not say anything more. 

After Leo finished checking the situation, he left confidently. 

However, Isabella found a time to meet Marc alone. 

“Mr. Roy,” Isabella said softly. 

“Mrs. Isabella.” Roy was a little flustered. “In fact, there are nearly half of the 2 million dollars left and they’re not used yet.” 

Isabella laughed. 

Leo was a fool. 

When she said that she wanted to use recruit, he really gave all the power to Marc and didn’t care about anything.  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, Isabella had planted a lot of her people in Marc’s team. 

She knew very well about his spending progress. 

“Mr. Roy,” Isabella said slowly, “No, you’ve already used up the money. Moreover, because you need a lot of experimental support, your expenses are huge. You’ll soon use up the next 2 million dollars.” 

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Marc’s forehead. “This… this is fraud.” 

“How can this be called fraud?” Isabella smiled. “As long as Mr. Roy, you can really develop it in the end, it will be a reasonable investment.” 

Marc was speechless. 

But he couldn’t develop it at all.

Chapter 161 

Where did this couple get so much confidence in him? 

In Isabella’s eyes, Marc’s silence meant he could do it. 

After all, he was the one who managed to get the results in her past life. 

In this life, they offered better conditions and more support. There was no reason for Marc not to figure it out. 

Isabella said with a faint smile, “Mr. Roy, don’t worry. I won’t let you take the risk alone. You can take 20% of the extra investment directly and leave it in your private wallet. Leave the rest to me. Even if Leo finds out and blames you, I can help you.” 

Isabella’s words were pleasant. 

Marc suddenly realized what had happened. 

Isabella… 

Was she trying to steal money? 

She thought of a way to trick Leo into investing money. Then, she would take most of it and leave a small part of it for Marc. That was to say, the two of them worked together to cheat Leo of his money. 

“20% is a lot,” Isabella said indifferently. 

Marc couldn’t help but struggle. 

No matter how much investment he cheated, he could take 20% of it. 

In the long run, it was indeed a huge sum of money. 

Moreover, the majority was taken by Isabella. 

Even if Leo wanted to get even with someone, he couldn’t blame Marc. 

In the end, it was still benefits that tempted humans. 

Marc gritted his teeth and said, “Nice to cooperate with you.” 

Chapter 161 

Only then did Isabella smile. “Nice to cooperate with you.” 

Then she bade farewell to Marc.. 

Thinking of the new money in her account, Isabella felt much happier. 

As long as she followed this pattern, she would soon be able to swindle Leo of all his 

money. 

At that time, she would return six million dollars to the Lynn family first. If there was more, she could try other investments. 

There were so many opportunities in her previous life. She didn’t believe that she couldn’t 

make money. 

In the evening, Leo and Isabella went home together. 

“Leo, you’re back.” Penelope quickly took off Leo’s coat and hung it up. When she looked at Isabella, she couldn’t help frowning. “What’s wrong with you? You’re not home every day, and now, you’re finally home with your husband but why don’t you help him take off his coat and change his shoes?” 

Disdain flashed across Isabella’s eyes. 

“Here it comes again.” she thought. 

Penelope, that old witch, really wanted to go against her all the time. 

Isabella was already very familiar with dealing with Penelope. 

She immediately put on a pitiful look and said, “My stomach hurts a little.” 

“Does your stomach hurt? Sit down!” Leo immediately became nervous. 

He carefully helped Isabella sit down, and then couldn’t help but lose his temper at Penelope. “Mom, Isabella is still pregnant. What do you want her to do?” 

Penelope was annoyed. “Which woman hasn’t been pregnant before? Is Isabella a princess and can’t do anything?” 

Isabella said gently, “Leo, don’t blame mom. She’s right. Every woman has to be pregnant. 

I’ll go to the kitchen and see if there’s anything I can do.” 

Isabella pretended to get up. 

Leo pressed her down. “All right, there’s a maid in the kitchen. You don’t have to do that. My mom is deliberately making things difficult for you!” 

After that, Leo looked at Penelope and said, “Mom! I’ve been busy enough the whole day. It’s not easy for me to get home. You’d better let me have my peace.” 

Penelope was speechless with anger. 

She felt so wronged that she was about to cry. 

All her life, she had been planning for Leo. 

Now, as soon as he got married, his heart was full of partiality? 

Penelope was so angry that she couldn’t help saying, “This bitch only knows how to use her child as an excuse. But so far, she hasn’t even gone to have a prenatal examination. In my opinion, there may be no child at all. Everything was directed and acted by this 

woman.” 

Isabella raised her eyebrows and looked even more aggrieved. “Leo, with my family background, who can’t I marry? If it weren’t for the accidental pregnancy and the fact that I don’t want the child to lose its father, why should I be in such a hurry to marry you? If your really don’t want this child, I will take the child back to Riowert. I believe his grandparents will welcome him.” 

As Isabella spoke, she began to cry in a low voice. 

Leo quickly comforted his mother and couldn’t help glaring at Penelope. “Mom, shut up! Her condition is unstable for the first three months of her pregnancy! If anything were to happen to the child because of you, I swear I won’t acknowledge you as my mom anymore!” 

Penelope was so angry that she almost fainted. 

Leo ignored her and focused on comforting Isabella.

Chapter 161 

Isabella lowered her eyes, but she was not very proud of herself. 

Only she knew. 

She was not pregnant at all. 

The so–called pregnancy was just an excuse to get married quickly. 

Now, she could still keep it a secret. 

Π 

But as time went by, if her belly didn’t grow bigger at all, things would be exposed sooner 

or later. 

She had to find an opportunity to make this child disappear. 

Isabella thought of one thing. 

Two months later, it would be the 80th birthday of Charlie. 

The birthday celebration this time must be very grand. 

She had to attend it with Leo. 

At that time, there would be a lot of people at the birthday party, so it was not surprising that there would be an accident. 

As long as she seized the opportunity, she could let this child disappear in time. 

It would be best if she could take the opportunity to get rid of those who upset her. 

What she needed to do now was to keep it a secret for another two months. 

Leo was a fool. It shouldn’t be difficult to hide it from him in two months. 

Two months later. 

It was Charlie’s 80th birthday. 

Charlie didn’t like to go anywhere else, so Ben directly modified the entire villa in advance. 

The living room was further renovated. 

6/8 

All kinds of decorations that symbolized good life had been put in place long ago. 

There were more than 50 chefs at this birthday party. 

Every chef was a top master in different fields. They wouldn’t cook in normal occasions at 

all. 

The other preparations were all perfect. 

On the day of the birthday banquet, more than half of the influential figures in Anaville came, and many big shots from other provinces also came overnight, hoping to take the opportunity to get in touch with the Landor family. 

Susan couldn’t decide if she should invite the Miller family. 

In the end, it was Charlie who sent the invitation. 

After all, they were relatives. 

Although everyone knew that the relationship between the two families was ordinary, they still had to maintain the harmony on the surface. 

In addition to the guests, all the top celebrities in the entertainment circle were proud to get an invitation from the Landor family. 

After careful selection, Ben only invited a dozen people. 

One of them was a cute guy who had just made his debut. 

The fans of the handsome young man went wild on the Internet, claiming that they had gained the support of Ben and were about to be famous. 

The other fans could only watch jealously. 

After all, their idols had not been invited to the birthday banquet of the Landor family. 

When it was getting dark, most of the people had already arrived. 

As the host and hostess, Ben and Susan were extremely busy. 

Chapter 161 r161 

This time, Mr. and Mrs. Miller came with Timothy and Yana. 

Jane glanced at Susan, who was surrounded by the crowd, and her eyes dimmed slightly. 

She thought that Susan’s life would be ruined after she married Ben. 

Who would have thought that Susan looked as if she had been reborn? 

However, the more dazzling and eye–catching Susan was now, the more flustered Jane 

became. 

If it went on like this, would the secret of that year be exposed? 

If the truth was revealed… 

Thinking of the family’s current power and influence, Jane couldn’t help shivering.
