Twins Secret (Tiffany)

Chapter 160 Equivalent Exchange Leon's eyes flickered with doubt. The things he needed? Could Lauren really produce them? Lauren noticed Leon's hesitation and began rummaging through her bag, pulling out a few old photographs.

"I have not only photos but also videos from that time. Wouldn't Mr. Cooper like to take a look?" Leon took the photos, his pupils dilating as he examined them. He hadn't expected Lauren to have these. And they were well-preserved. How did Lauren know about these events? Leon was suspicious of Lauren and couldn't fully trust her, but he did need these items. Therefore, he decided to take Lauren to his office.

He asked Hugo to bring in two cups of coffee and then dismissed him, leaving just him and Lauren in the office. "Ms. Simpson, I have a question," Leon took a sip of his coffee and spoke calmly.

"I know Mr. Cooper wants to ask why I want to collaborate with the Cooper group. After all, at such a critical moment, most people wouldn't seek out trouble, right?" Leon was slightly taken aback by Lauren's words but then nodded.

Lauren chuckled softly, clasping her hands on her lap, her gaze fixed on Leon.

"What if I said I admire Mr. Cooper? Would that be a good enough reason?" "Ms. Simpson, you just returned to the country, and we've never had any contact. So that doesn't really make sense." Leon set down his coffee cup, not buying Lauren's explanation.

"No matter what Mr. Cooper thinks, I genuinely want to collaborate with Mr. Cooper. The Cooper group needs designers, whether for advertising, fashion, or architecture. I can outperform Miss Grey in all these areas." "I also know Mr. Cooper and Miss Grey have a special relationship. The company needs capable people. If I can prove I'm more skilled than Miss Grey, would Mr. Cooper consider me?" Lauren's confidence was evident, as if she was certain she could outshine Tiffany.

Although Leon had lost those memories, he knew Tiffany's capabilities.

In all of Harmony City, there seemed to be no one who could match Tiffany.

For Lauren to make such claims, did she really have other talents? "Then prove it tonow, Ms. Simpson. If you truly have the ability, I'll sign a contract with you immediately. But before that, I want that video." Lauren didn't hesitate and handed over a USB drive.

"Everything Mr. Cooper wants is on this. Now, letshow Mr. Cooper what I can do." Lauren smiled, taking out a sketchpad and pencil from her bag and giving Leon a quick once-over.

In less than ten minutes, Lauren produced a perfect sketch.

The drawing of Leon was so lifelike, capturing even the subtle contours of his face. The speed and skill were indeed superior to Tiffany's.

At a glance, there were no flaws.

But the more perfect it was, the more Leon doubted. With such talent, why would she want to join the Cooper group? However, Leon had already agreed, so he pulled out a contract from his drawer.

"I can sign with Ms. Simpson, but this will be a one-tcollaboration, not a permanent contract." Leon's response was within Lauren's expectations.

Without much thought, she signed her name, stood up, and extended her hand.

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! "Let's hope this collaboration goes perfectly, Mr. Cooper. If you're satisfied, we can continue working together." "No problem." Leon stood and shook Lauren's hand.

At that moment, he and Tiffany shared the scuriosity. Why did Lauren's hand feel so cold, almost inhuman? Sensing Leon's doubt, Lauren withdrew her hand and joked with a smile.

"Just returned to the country, still getting used to the temperature here." Leon dismissed his doubts and personally escorted Lauren out of the company.

As soon as Lauren left, Leon returned to his office, running into Grant, who was delivering documents, and Hugo, who was snooping for information.

The three of them gathered in the office as Leon plugged the USB drive into his computer. Grant and Hugo exchanged glances, silently urging each other to speak first.

Leon knew what they wanted to ask and addressed them directly.

"You want to know why I'm collaborating with Lauren, right?" Grant and Hugo nodded vigorously.

"Mr. Cooper, haven't we already partnered with Miss Grey? She's designing the new product line. Signing a contract with Ms. Simpson now, wouldn't that be a problem?" Hugo voiced his concern, unable to understand Leon's reasoning.

"My deal with Lauren is a simple exchange. She giveswhat I need, and I give her a contract. While I don't know her true intentions, if we're to collaborate, I want to see what she can do. The new product launch will be split into two batches. This way, Tiffany and Lauren can compete, and we'll see who comes out on top. If Lauren can truly surpass Tiffany, I'll consider continuing our partnership." The two men immediately understood Leon's plan.

Leon wanted to test Lauren's abilities and, at the stime, evaluate Tiffany.

If someone could surpass Tiffany, it would mean she could be replaced, and the company would no longer rely solely on her.

Grant's expression turned conflicted as he processed this.

"Mr. Cooper, if Miss Grey finds out about this... she might be upset. Shouldn't we..." He didn't finish his sentence before receiving a cold glare from Leon.

Leon questioned icily, "I make the decisions for this company. Do need to worry about her feelings? Besides, our contract with her never stated I couldn't hire other designers!"

The two men sensed Leon's anger and wisely kept quiet, finishing their e.

tasks before leaving. Leon sat alone at his desk, moving the mouse to play the video on the screen.

The video showed Leon's father and Ulysses's mother.

They were arguing at the entrance of a hotel, captured by a hidden camera.

The video had a clear timestamp.

There was another five-minute video, this tfeaturing Leon's mother and Ulysses's mother.

They met in a café, where Ulysses's mother provoked Leon's mother, treating the affair like a gand taunting her inability to control her husband.

Leon clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. He had never known head.

el about these events. How much had his mother suffered back then?
