From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 3

After entering the room, she was still looking down at the

messages

on her phone.

“Kenia, long time no see.”

Leonard stood up from the sofa.

Hearing his voice, Kenia suddenly raised her head.

After seeing Leonard, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise

Kenia looked at her cousin, who she hadn’t seen for three years.

When she was a child, she often followed Leonard and asked him to play with her.

But now, time had drifted them apart.

Kenia put her bag on the hanger aside. When she looked down, she happened to see the coffee that Leonard had placed by the door.

She opened the packaging curiously.

But the next moment, Kenia frowned.

“It’s just a plastic bag, and the coffee beans are so dark. Is this even drinkable?”

Then, she put the coffee back in disgust.

A few days ago, she accompanied her friend to a coffee shop to buy some coffee beans, and the packaging of that store seemed very high–end.

Compared with that, Leonard’s gift seemed horrible.

“Your cousin doesn’t have much money. He has just been released. Whether his gift is good or bad, it still represents his kindness.”

Flora frowned and reprimanded Kenia.

Kenia stuck out her tongue, then came to the sofa and sat down.

Seeing his daughter coming back, a smile emerged on Willie’s stern face.

Soon, the meal was ready and served.

Willie poured himself a glass of wine, then looked at his daughter.

“Kenia, your company has a new boss just after you started your internship. How do you feel at work recently?”

While picking up vegetables, Kenia said, “Very good. The welfare of the Santos Group is much better than before.

“The Santos Group is indeed wealthy and powerful. I heard that when they purchased Greenness Group, they directly raised the price by 20%, and our former boss was shocked.

“By the way, there is one more thing. The boss of the Santos Group came to inspect the company today.

“Dad, guess how old he is!”

“He spent four billion dollars to buy a company. I assume he’s at least in his forties!”

Willie said.

“No, no.”

Kenia waved her hand.

“You’re wrong. The new boss of the Santos Group is only in his twenties.”

Both Willie and Flora were surprised.

Leonard calmly picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl.

“Right? Isn’t it surprising?

“It’s normal. My colleagues were also shocked. It’s a pity that the new boss only went to the top floor and then left quickly. I didn’t get to meet him. I wonder what kind of man he is!”

Chapter a

Listening to his cousin discussing himself, Leonard felt a little weird.

Leonard left after chatting with Flora after lunch.

“Leonard, do you have a place to live?”

Flora was a little worried about Leonard’s living conditions.

“Auntie, don’t worry. I’ve rented an apartment.”

After Leonard left, Willic looked at Flora sullenly,

Flora, think before you talk. The company is not mine. Your nephew just got out of prison, don’t you know? How could you let him join my company?”

When Flora heard this, she was immediately irritated.

“What’s the matter? That’s my nephew. What’s wrong with asking you to arrange a job for him?”

Instantly, a quarrel broke out.

Kenia was annoyed by their noise, so she went out to find her best friend to go shopping.

After leaving Flora’s home, Leonard came to Shoal Manor.

This was a villa arca.

It was also one of the gifts Ibrahim had prepared for Leonard.

Just as he walked to the door, Leonard saw an off–road vehicle passing by rapidly.

He seemed to see Arlene sitting in the car.

Leonard thought, “Does she also live in Shoal Manor?”

Leonard couldn’t help but be impressed by this coincidence. He actually met Arlene three times in a day.

Shaking his head, he went straight inside.

The villa had a classical style. It had a lot of columns, a large balcony, and a lovely yard. The whole place seemed very elegant and peaceful.

There was a massive sign beside the entrance with “Santos Manor” written on it.

After seeing the sign, Leonard was a little speechless.

It must have been arranged by Ibrahim as well.

The newly purchased company was named Santos Group, and the villa was named Santos Manor, proving that Ibrahim valued Leonard greatly.

Leonard couldn’t help feeling touched,

On the other side, Kenia invited her best friend to go shopping. And now, she was sitting in a coffee shop complaining to her best friend.

“Judy, I’m so annoying. My parents are fighting again.”

“What’s wrong?”

Judy Patel, who was wearing a light yellow skirt, had always seemed mature and elegant.

She seemed graceful even while drinking coffee.

“Because my cousin just got out of prison. My mother insisted on letting him go to my dad’s company, but he didn’t like it. They just couldn’t stop quarreling.”

“Oh, I sec.”

Judy smiled slightly.

“That’s not a problem. Wilder has been thinking about how to impress you recently. Give him a chance, and he will immediately make arrangements for your cousin.”

When Wilder Cruz was mentioned, a trace of hope lit up Kenia’s eyes.

Wilder was a wealthy man she had met recently. He was young and rich, and he had been pursuing her recently.

“That’s not very appropriate, is it?”

Kenia hesitated.

“What’s wrong? Are you too embarrassed to call him? I’ll do it.”

17:02

As she spoke, Judy took out her cell phone.

After calling Wilder, Judy immediately said with a smile, “Kenia, Wilder said that they are exercising in the martial art center downtown. Let’s go find him.

“By the way, call your cousin and let him come with you.”

On the other side, Leonard was standing in front of the window when the phone in his pocket rang.

“Leonard, are you busy now? I want to tell you something. Come to the Heaven Martial Arts Center downtown…”

“Okay.”

Leonard put away his phone.

He indeed had nothing to do now, and Kenia was the closest to him when he was a child.

After leaving Shoal Manor, Leonard took a taxi to the Heaven Martial Arts Center that Kenia had mentioned.

Meanwhile, Kenia and her best friend Judy were waiting at the entrance

Seeing Leonard getting out of the taxi, Kenia briefly introduced him to Judy, and they went inside together.

The martial art center was located on the basement floor. When they came in, they heard the noise of fighting.

In the ring, two young men were fighting fiercely in their boxing gloves.

“You are here.”

A tall young man walked over with a smile.

His gaze became a bit desirous when he looked at Kenia

At the same time, he glanced at Leonard in secret.

“This must be Leonard. I will arrange a job for him”

“Thank you so much.”

Kenia said hastily.

“It’s nothing. You don’t need to be so polite.”

Wilder laughed, and he seemed quite smug.

A few young men were sitting in the auditorium far away while discussing wildly.

“Wilder’s new girl looks good. It seems that she will sleep with him in a few days”

“Of course, she will. Wilder is so good at picking up girls.”

“Many girls always want to marry into the purple, but their families are not wealthy at all. Wilder has a fiancée. He only wants to sleep with that girl for fun…”

The basement was very noisy, and the young men were sitting far away. Although they chatted wildly, Kenia couldn’t hear what they were discussing.

However, Leonard frowned. Others couldn’t hear those men clearly, but he overheard every word they had said.
