17:12 Chapter 20 Chapter 20 If in the past , Rosalind would never kick Leonardo out , But now . Leonardo did not doubt that Rosaline would do that . As a result , Leonardo decided to locus on negotiating the collaboration with Rosalind . Leonardo analyzed , " Well , you can't compare other companies to the Brooks Group . The BUT Group is known Internationally , but in Haldorin , It's the newcomer . The Brooks Group can bring more benefits to the BUT Group in their collaboration ." This was called the brand premium . The BUT GROUP occupied a dominant position in the cooperation with other companies , and so did the Brooks Group , Rosalind countered , " But the Brooks Group took the initiative to seek a collaboration with the BUT Group , right ? Mr. Brooks , don't forget that ." Leonardo was shrewd , so Rosalind couldn't agree with him that easily Leonardo emphasized , " We all want a win - win collaboration , and we're equal in the collaboration ! " , When it came to work , Leonando instantly became the decisive Mr. Brooks . He showed the characteristic shrewdness and caution of a businessman . ng with Haldorin . I don't think you'll find a Leonardo continued , " Besides , we all know that the BUT Group wants to enter the Clusia market starting " better partner in Haldorin than the Brooks Group " Rosalind snapped , " That's true , but we have partnered with the Jansen Group and it's a successful collaboration . I believe that entering the domestic market is not that difficult , and I have concerns about cooperating with the Brooks Group " " Oh ? Tell me about it , said Leonardo in a light voice . Leonardo raised his eyebrows slightly and took a sip of the coffee before looking at Rosalind Rosalind asked in a firm voice , " I heard that the Brooks Broup's design director is your wife , Virginia , right ? If the BUT Group and the Brooks Group collaborate on next season's apparel design , which one of us will be in charge of this ? " This was actually what Rosalind was worried about now , if she wanted to enter the Franks Group to investigate what happened five years ago , she had to go inside the Brooks Group , and she would meet Virginia . This could cause Rosalind a lot of trouble if she was targeted by Virginia . Hearing Rosalind's words , Leonardo said in a deep voice , " You are my only one . She is not my wife ! " Rosalind raised her eyebrows slightly and looked in disbelie ! Rosalind exclaimed , " No way ! Mr. Brooks , are you such a callous man ? Virginia gave birth to your son . You didn't even have a wedding with her . You're as heartless as ever . Rosalind thought Leonardo didn't marry Virginia because he didn't want Virginia to share his property when they broke up . After all , the Broaks Group had an incredible market capitalization . Rosalind didn't think Virginia would leave the Brocks family without getting any property as she cid five years ago . Hearing this , Leonardo knew that Rosalind had misunderstood him . He wanted to explain , but he was interrupted by Rosalind . Rosalind interrupted , " Well , I'm not interested in whether you two are married or not . You should know that although I hate to admit it , we used to be in a relationship . If your wife , lover , or bed partner … Never mind , it doesn't matter . If Ms. York m sunderstood our relationship , I'm afraid it would be detrimental to our collaboration ! " Rosalind admitted that she was deliberately provoking Leonardo , and as expected , Leonardo was furious when he heard her words . Rosalind sneered , " Oh , Mr. Brooks , did I say something I shouldn't have said ? You seem to be a bit angry ! " In fact , Rosalind couldn't be happier when she saw Leonardo so enraged . " Rosalind , do we have to be like this ? " whispered Leonardo . Leonardo wondered why Rosalind was so hostile to him . She acted like this when they were in the Macaulay family before and now . There was always sarcasm and malice in her words . " What do you mean ? Aren't we talking about the collaboration ? " Rosalind asked innocently and blinked as if she didn't get Leonardo's meaning . But in her mind , she was sneering . Rosalind thought , ' Leonardo , this is far from enough . You can't stand this ? Then what about what i suffered five years ago ? When you and Virginia were happy together , I got a divorce agreement with your signature on it . When you and Virginia were in love , I received the news that my clad had jumped off a building When you and Virginia were sharing your stories , I didn't even have a home . I was alone in the pouring rain . When you and Virginia held your baby , I was lying in a cold hospital bed with catheters all over my body , taking all kinds of pills to save my babies . 1/2 17:12 Chapter 20 These mocking words can't even really hurt you ! " Leonardo was the most famous big shot in Haldorin , who had never been insulted like this before . But looking at Rosalind , who was smiling in front of Him , Leonardo didn't know how to vent his anger . Leonardo couldn't stand the atmosphere and didn't want to see Rosalind's take smile . He suddenly got up and walked toward the door . Leonarde slurred , " Think about the cooperation . The Brooks Group can give up another two percent of the benefits ." Rosalind smiled smugly as she watched Leonardo flee . She thought . " Two percent ? Great ! " In the next few days , Leonardo never came to Rosalind again , but the collaboration was settled . Rosalind would serve as the Brooks Group's apparel design consultant and participate in its apparel design for the upcoming season . At night , Rosalind fell asleep by the sofa . When Yanna and Kevin came back , they saw Rosalind lying alone by the sofa with the project plan in her hand . " Yanna , did you see this ? The Brooks Group ! " exclaimed Kevin . Seeing the cover of the project plan , Kevin frowned . Yanna stretched out her head to look at it and answered with a ned , " I see " Kevin asked worriedly . " Why was Rosalind involved with the Bracks Group ? Was she forced ? Will she be bullied by that person again ? " Kevin's face was chubby , but his expression was serious , which made him look funny Yanna and Kevin didn't know how to call Leonardo . They were reluctant to call him father , and it was rude to call him a jerk , so they agreed to call him " that person " or " that man " . " You make sense . Alas , Rosalind is too kind . I'm so worried about her , " Yanna sighed , scratching her chin , Kevin suggested , " How about we give that man a lesson fest so that we can avenge Rosalind ? " Hearing Kevin's words , Yanna blinked at him and approached him curiously . " What do you want to do ? " Yanna asked in a low voice . " On my way back today , I saw a construction site with a large pile of dregs . They look just like that man ! Kevin explained in a sincere voice .
