Twins Secret (Tiffany)

Chapter 106 Signing a Contract with Ralph Most folks had already shown up at the meeting spot, but Leon was there early, chilling in the front row.

When he saw Emery and Tiffany stroll in together, he looked a bit puzzled.

Before heading to the northern suburbs, Leon had no idea why Tiffany sent the kids to Sophia. But now, seeing her here, he got it-she had cto the northern suburbs too.

But Tiffany showing up with Emery? That threw Leon for a loop, and he kept his eyes glued to Tiffany. Seeing them chatting and laughing as they walked in, Leon wondered, 'Are she and Emery tight?' Tiffany noticed Leon's stare and quietly sat down next to him.

Right now, there were only three seats in the front row: Emery's main seat, Leon's, and Tiffany's.

It made sense for someone like Leon to sit there. But Tiffany? Was she a big deal too? Everyone was surprised to see Tiffany sit down. Was her status on par with Leon's? People started speculating about Tiffany's relationship with Emery, except for Miguel, who was super nervous. He couldn't take his eyes off Tiffany and couldn't hide his hatred for her.

Leon slowly looked away and said in a slightly cold tone, "Tiffany, I didn't know you had connections here. You even know Emery. Your network is better than mine." "You're too kind," Tiffany smiled calmly, keeping her eyes on the stage. She didn't mention she was a shareholder in Emery's company.

As the meeting kicked off, the room went quiet. Emery introduced all the development areas, saying each project had potential. If they invested in the right one, they'd make bank. Now it was just about who was willing to jump in early.

Leon confirmed that the best spots were in the busiest parts of the northern suburbs. Where there were people, there was money to be made.

Everyone knew these zones were profitable, but after the deals were made, it would be up to them to manage well. If they could keep customers, the money would roll in.

During the discussions, Emery showed a map of a developed area with a bustling commercial street and high foot traffic on the screen.

"This project has already been discussed with the Larson Corporation, and we've decided to collaborate." Everyone was shocked. No one expected a deal to be reached so quickly.

There were only a few projects in the northern suburbs, and everyone cto discuss collaboration. Securing a deal would benefit their company, so they were ready to invest big bucks.

Everyone looked at Miguel with envy. But Miguel was still in shock, unable to believe Emery proposed continuing the collaboration.

He was pleasantly surprised and looked at Tiffany smugly, thinking she had no sway over Emery.

Tiffany didn't miss Miguel's expression. She smirked, knowing his happiness would soon turn to disappointment.

On stage, Emery and Tiffany exchanged glances. After getting Tiffany's nod, Emery pulled out the contract and signed it in front of everyone, stamping it with the company seal.

"I hope this collaboration with the Larson Corporation goes smoothly." Emery then looked towards Miguel and Ralph, signaling them to cup and sign.

Miguel thought Emery was looking at him and stood up, adjusting his suit with a big smile.

Tiffany watched and raised an eyebrow at Emery, who got the hint and spoke up. "Mr. Ralph Larson, I hope we have a pleasant collaboration." Emery's eyes were on Ralph.

With that, Miguel was left standing awkwardly, his earlier smugness gone, his face pale, and his lips trembling. Ralph, sitting next to Miguel, was momentarily stunned and glanced at Tiffany.

Tiffany smiled slightly, and Ralph quickly understood. It seemed Tiffany had helped return the project to him. Now, everyone was whispering, mocking Miguel for being too eager and embarrassing himself.

Miguel's face darkened. He glared at Ralph, warning him that if he went on stage, he wouldn't let him off easily. Seeing Ralph hesitate, Emery spoke up with a hint of regret. "Mr. Larson, we discussed this collaboration before. Are you having second thoughts now?" Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free.

Ralph knew Emery was giving him a chance, so he didn't hesitate anymore. He stood up from beside Miguel and walked to the stage, drawing envious looks from the crowd.

Tiffany started clapping, and soon the whole audience joined in.

Tiffany chuckled softly, knowing Miguel must be fuming.

As Ralph approached Emery on stage, she extended her hand. They shook hands warmly before she handed him the contract, which Ralph signed with a flourish. "Mr. Larson, if there are any issues with the project, we can discuss them anytime." "Thank you for this opportunity, Ms. Franklin. I'll do my best to manage it well." Ralph's humility left a good impression on Emery. She said, "There will be many opportunities in the future. I hope we can work together more." With Emery's words, it was clear that future projects in the northern suburbs would be out of Miguel's reach. Miguel sat in the audience, seething with anger.

From the moment Emery signed the contract, Leon's gaze had been fixed on Tiffany, a hint of anger in his eyes. Before coming to the northern suburbs, Leon had investigated and found that Ralph was initially in charge of the project. Later, the project somehow ended up in Miguel's hands. But now, it was back to Ralph. Leon suspected Tiffany had a hand in it.

Leon believed Tiffany had deliberately helped Ralph, so he was furious.

After the meeting ended, Leon cornered Tiffany in a secluded area, gritting his teeth angrily. "Tiffany, you went to great lengths to help Ralph!" "Leon, what are you talking about?" Tiffany frowned, not wanting to engage, and tried to push past Leon. Seeing her not explaining, Leon thought she was trying to avoid the issue. He grabbed Tiffany's wrist and pulled her back, punching the wall beside her. "Tiffany! Do you like him? Answer me!" Even though Leon lowered his voice, he couldn't help but shout the last sentence. He was like an angry lion, ready to pounce.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! Tiffany knew that if she didn't explain, Leon wouldn't let her go.

She explained, "I didn't specifically help Ralph. I just went with the flow." Leon frowned, puzzled. "Went with the flow?"

Tiffany nodded and continued, "The Larson Corporation values this project and is willing to invest millions of dollars. I wouldn't turn down the the money, but didn't want to miss this opportunity either. So, the only person who could sign the contract was Ralph. Besides, Ralph was initially in charge of the project and had been discussing it with Emery. Later, Miguel wanted to take over the project. I helped Ralph once, so he owesa favor. Who knows, I might need his help someday." Tiffany knew that Leon would have investigated everything before coming to the northern suburbs, so he would know that what she said was true.

After listening, Leon slowly let go of her hand, looking at her with suspicion. "You have no ulterior motives?" "Maybe a little." "Tiffany!" Leon growled, displeased.

Tiffany looked at him and asked, "My ulterior motive is to make money, Leon. What did you think it was?" Leon didn't say anything, his gaze lingering on Tiffany for a few seconds.

"Why are you looking at me?" Tiffany touched her face, thinking something was on it.

Suddenly, Leon took a step closer, placing one hand on the wall beside Tiffany her, his tall figure trappad ties "Tiffany, I didn't know you had ties I with Emery's company. It seems you've done a lot over the years since our divorce. What else are you hiding from me?" Leon's voice was filled with anger. He took a moment to gather his thoughts. "If I remember correctly, Emery's company faced a financial crisis two years ago and almost went bankrupt. Then it suddenly revived, and there was an additional shareholder, just one."

"I suspected that this person helped Emery, and they must be quite capable. I even sent people to m investigate, but after two years, I found no clues." Leon paused, then grabbed Tiffany's chin, his gaze intense. "Tiffany, I never thought that person would be you." Tiffany turned her head, avoiding his hand, looking away. "There are many things you don't know." Leon lowered his gaze, looking at Tiffany's tightly pressed lips, swallowing unconsciously. He slowly leaned in, wanting to kiss her.

The next moment, the phone rang, breaking the tension between them.
