Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 152 Leo, who was also shocked, said a little hesitantly, “Ben, | just got married. | don't think it's necessary to divide up family property and live apart.” parents Ben glanced at him and said lightly, “Families like us usually live together when the pa are alive, and divide up family property and live apart after the parents pass away. We were supposed to do that after our father passed away. Now both of us are married, so it's already later than ordinary families to do that.” “Your father has passed away, but I'm still alive!” Penelope screamed, “Ben, do you mean that you are not going to regardas your mother anymore?” Ben looked at her with a frown and replied with a confused expression, “So you didn’t realize this until now?” He had never regarded her as his mother.

Penelope was speechless with anger.

She couldn't help but look at Charlie, saying, “Dad, Ben is trying to force Leo andto leave. You must uphold justice for us.” Charlie lowered his gaze and pondered for a moment.

When he looked up again, he said lightly with a calm look, “What nonsense are you talking about? People can live with their parents forever, but it's unreasonable for the younger brother to live with the elder brother forever. We are going to divide up family property and live apart today.” “Grandpa, please take the chair,” Ben said.

Charlie replied with a nod, “I'm going to get the documents. Wait a minute.” Then he left temporarily.

Penelope, not daring to criticize Ben, involuntarily rolled her eyes at Isabella and said, “Jinx, you cause us to be kicked out of our family as soon as you marry Leo.” Leo, whose face turned livid, didn't comfort Isabella.

1/7 Chapter 102 What he valued most was his benefit rather than Isabella.

Now, if he was really kicked out of his family with nothing, his wife would be a jinx, wouldn't she? Leo was wondering if he should go back on his word. Although they had registered for marriage, he could divorce her.

Sensing that the situation had changed, Isabella lowered her head with a slightly pale face.

What was going on? In the last life, Leo and Ben had never divided up family property and lived apart when Charlie was alive.

Why were things, different now? Susan glanced at Ben and whispered, “Why did you suddenly make such a suggestion? Although there are sflaws in Penelope's character, Grandpa is used to her company. I'm afraid that Grandpa will not be used to being separated from her.” Ben held onto Susan’s hand and said softly, “After we divide up family property and live apart, Penelope will only take care of Grandpa more wholeheartedly.” Once they divided up family property and lived apart, Penelope and Leo would have nothing to do with Storm Group.

Penelope, who panicked, would only try her best to make up to Charlie.

In fact, even if there were plenty of flaws in Penelope, she had one advantage that made Ben willing to support and tolerate her.

The advantage was that she took care of Charlie with all her heart.

Fine lady like her were usually invited to a lot of dinner parties.

However, Penelope had almost never attended a dinner party, as she had spent all her t with Charlie.

Although Charlie often lectured her, in fact, he did that because he was close to Penelope.

Chapter 152 He hoped that Penelope could live a peaceful life.

Although Penelope had disappointed him again and again, he had tried all he could to put her on the right path all this time.

Considering Penelope’s advantage, Ben had tolerated Penelope all this talthough he was aware of the tricks she had played behind his back.

As long as she could please Charlie, Ben didn’t mind her occasional tricks that he could bring under his control.

If Leo hadn't married Isabella, Ben wouldn't have proposed for the tbeing that he and Leo should divide up family property and live apart.

However, Isabella was shrewd with the power to see the future, and was hostile to Susan.

How could he allow her to live with Susan? Now he and Leo had no choice but to divide up family property and live apart.

Half an hour later, Charlie cdownstairs with glasses, carrying a stack of documents.

Ben and Susan got up to help him walk over.

After taking his place at the head of the table, Charlie took out the documents and spread them out on the table.

He glanced at Penelope and Leo and said, “We are going to divide up the property of the Landor family, and Storm Group is not included in it. Do you agree with this?” How could they agree? Penelope said anxiously, “Dad, since Storm Group is left by Leo's father, Leo is supposed to get a slice of it, isn't he?” With a mocking look in his eyes, Charlie took out a document and said, “When Ben took over the company, its market value was ten million dollars. Later, the company developed into Storm Group. At that time, | was worried that there might be disputes in the future, so at my suggestion, the original company was separated from Storm Group as a subsidiary that still specializes in manufacturing electronic components. At present, its market value Chapter 152 has gradually increased to twenty million dollars. Leo can only get a slice of this subsidiary.” The market value of Storm Group was hundreds of billions of dollars, while that of this subsidiary was only twenty million dollars.

Noticing the huge gap between them, Penelope and Leo both found it unacceptable.

However, the documents Charlie presented clearly showed the accounts. Indeed, Ben's father had only left a company, and Storm Group, which was developed by Ben, had nothing to do with his father.

“Ben, what do you think of dividing up this subsidiary into three parts for Penelope, Leo and you?” Charlie asked.

Ben answered, “Grandpa, you are the boss. | have no objection.” The subsidiary to be divided up was worth even less than a tenth of a percent of Ben's property, so he naturally didn't care.

With a nod, Charlie took out the list of assets left by Ben's father. He had managed them properly over the years, so there was a certain degree of increase in them.

Then Charlie allocated the villa, where he lived, to Ben and decided to live here with Ben, while allocating another villa nearby to Penelope and Leo.

In the end, he equally divided the cash into three portions for Penelope, Leo and Ben.

After calculating the property allocated to them, Penelope and Leo found they were going to get sixteen million dollars in total which was a much larger sum of money than they had imagined.

Even Penelope, who had resisted Ben's suggestion at first, was a little tempted.

If Ben and Leo did not divide up the property, she could only rely on Ben's power to be a fine lady.

But if they did, she would be able to get real money.

Leo was even more tempted.

He, who had almost used up the start-up fund given by Ben by indulging in eating, drinking and pleasure—seeking, was worried about how to get another sum of money.

But now he was going to get a total of sixteen million dollars and a company! “If you have no objection, sign the agreement,” Charlie said wearily.

“Susan and | have no objection,” Ben said.

“We want to talk it over,” Leo said, moving his eyes and pulling Penelope and Isabella aside.

Both Penelope and Leo were tempted by this large sum of assets.

Meanwhile, they were also a little worried.

Once Ben and Leo divided up the property and lived apart, Ben would no longer support them.

If they weren't competent at running the company, it wouldn't take long for them to use up their fortune.

“Two cowards, Isabella thought.

Despite her disdain for them, she feigned gentleness and said, “Leo, you're a top graduate in finance from an internationa | top university. After getting tHe company, you can apply what you have learned there. It took Ben ten years to develop Storm Group into what it is today, which is known as a miracle. | believe that you will surely be able to create a miracle that's as good as Storm Group.” Isabella did not care about Leo, but she cared about the sixteen million dollars! She needed start-up funds and another sum of money to pay back! If she could find a way to get the sixteen million dollars...

Thinking of this, Isabella said in a more passionate voice, “Leo, you can do it.” Leo was inspired.

If Ben could do it, why couldn't he? Chapter 152

“Mom, we should agree with it!" Leo said through clenched teeth, “The company has a market value of twenty milion dollar at present. I'm sure If | apply the advanced experience | have learned to it, its market value will definitely soar! When the tcomes, we will be able to make decent profits!” At the sight of Leo's confident look, Penelope was convinced, asking, “Really?” “Don't you have confidence in my capability?” Leo asked.

Penelope took a deep breath, replying, “Well, we'll sign the agreement?” “Yes, but we'll spend smoney buying Ben's shares. Then the subsidiary will ultimately belong to us as the first step | take towards the peak of my career in business,” Leo said, in high spirits.

“Great, you are indeed my good boy,” seeing that her son was daring and resolute, Penelope said with delight.

Thus, the three of them returned.

Leo put forward his idea.

Ben nodded noncommittally and then sold his shares to Leo.

Now the subsidiary becthe private property of Leo and Penelope.

In this way, Leo and Penelope got a subsidiary and ten million dollars in cash.

Isabella was displeased with getting less cash.

However, since Leo was so confident, she couldn't dampen his spirits and had no choice. but to accept the fact.

Nevertheless, Isabella regarded the remaining ten million dollars as hers.

She needed it to pay back the money and start her business! This sum of money was a gift from god.

She decided to think of a way to get the money as soon as possible.

Chapter 152 Isabella had panicked when she suddenly learned that Ben and Leo were going to divide up the property and live apart.

But now, with such a large sum of money, she thought it was a good thing!

She was going to start her business with this sum of money, and the stand in front of Ben in the proudest manner and show him that he had missed the opportunity to be with her, such a wonderful girl. After dividing up the property, Charlie waved his hand and directly told Penelope and Leo to pack up their belongings and move to their new home.

Penelope and Leo, lost in the fantasy that they were going to scale the heights of their lives, left joyfully.
