Supreme Mars

Virgil Corporation, located in a developing industrial park in Emerdale, used to be drop in the well of Ford family's business empire.

But now it became a life-saving straw for The Ford family after Vesper Corporation was sold, and the other businesses were also nibbled away by The Lawson family.

The Ford family went to Atlas Beauty's bidding to try their luck but surprisingly, they won the bid with Leo's help.

Just as they were rejoicing at this good start, a series of twists and turns followed. The Ford family had gone from hell to heaven, then back to hell, and finally to a happy ending. This roller coaster ride almost gave them a heart attack.

At last, William signed the contract with Atlas Beauty on behalf of The Ford family yesterday, which marked the day that they officially won the project. Atlas Beauty also advanced 20,000 dollars to them.

Although it was minuscule sum for Atlas Beauty, it meant a lot for the current Ford family.

Early in the morning, the core members of the family all attended the meeting at the Virgil Corporation office.

When they heard that the down payment had been wired into the account, everyone grinned from ear to ear.

"Ahem, William, since the money has arrived, shall we divide it up now?" Samuel spoke directly, exerting his seniority.

"Yeah. Atlas Beauty is being kind of stingy, right? The down payment is only 20,000 dollars. How much can each of us get then?" Patricia also complained. "Shouldn't it be at least one million?"

"Auntie, 20,000 dollars is already good enough. It's easy for you to say." Caroline was unhappy to hear all them gripe, thinking to herself, "Dad worked so hard for this. It's already too kind of him to share it with you guys. How can you be such back seat drivers now?"

Rebecca did not say anything, but merely offered a hostile look at the others.

In her opinion, these vultures were here to rob she and her husband.

"Stop, that's enough!" William slammed the table and shouted. In an instant, no one dared to speak again.

"Have you all forgotten who helped us to win the project?" He glanced around and said angrily, "It's Leo. What about you? What have you done so far? All talk and no action!"

Samuel, Patricia, and the others all looked embarrassed at once. It was true that they had not contributed much in the process of securing this project.

But Patricia still persisted, "That's what he should do. Our family raised him for years. What's wrong with him throwing us a bone or two?"

William's eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to berate her, Rebecca stopped him. "Enough, William. Let's just split up the money. None of us can find a job these days, and we’re all living on our savings."

The others also stopped talking about Leo, and nodded one by one in agreement with what she said.
