Chapter 934

"Cynthia really pulled off a ruthless move this time!" Leon frowned bitterly at Cynthia's actions. "What should we do now, Leon? How will the company produce cosmetics if we don't have the materials?" Iris inquired, her face filled with concern. Elegante's most valuable and promising products were the high-end cosmetics Leon created himself. The company would undoubtedly suffer massive losses if those high-end cosmetics were not available. "Don't worry, I'll seek assistance from the Southern King. With his power and connections, he'll probably be able to help us source something," Leon said after a brief pause, his hopes resting solely on Vincent. Vincent was one of the underworld's two kings. He was in charge of half of Springfield's underworld and had various connections to the black markets. If it was something extremely valuable or rare, Vincent might not have been able to obtain it, but if it was just simple materials needed to make the cosmetics, Vincent should be fine! "Yes, that's the only thing we can do right now," Iris nodded, visibly relaxing. "Come on, Leon. Let's put that aside for the time being. Could you please hurry up and find me a place to stay?!" Ruth stated. She had gone shopping with Leon earlier, and her feet were beginning to hurt. She wished to return home earlier to rest. She didn't want to keep running around with Leon. "A place to stay?" Iris expressed surprise, not understanding what Ruth was saying. "That-" "Iris, I had something I couldn't tell you. Ruth is going to live with us." Leon was wearing an awkward smile. He intended to tell Iris, but he was distracted by Gilbert and forgot. "What? Ruth will remain with us? However, why?" Iris was stunned. She looked at Ruth before looking at Leon, her face puzzled. She had recently reconciled with Leon, but Leon had unexpectedly brought a woman home. It was even a stunningly beautiful woman. They would all have some misconceptions about the situation, regardless of who it was. She was no different. "This is what occurred. Elder Collins has asked me to assist Ruth in reaching the Overlord State." Leon rushed through explaining the situation to Iris. "Are you sure you're serious?" Iris remained skeptical despite Leon's explanation. She was aware of Leon's agreement with the Colins. George asked Leon to assist Ruth in reaching the Overlord State. That was perfectly reasonable, and nothing was wrong with it. However, because of what had happened between Cynthia and Leon, she had some reservations about accepting something like this. Leon's relationship with Cynthia had not even been fully resolved when Ruth appeared! Furthermore, Ruth was on the same level as Cynthia in terms of appearance and family background, so Ruth posed a significant threat to Iris. She couldn't help but feel threatened at the time. She was afraid Ruth would fight alongside her for Leon, just as Cynthia had! "It's completely true! Ruth simply wants to move in so that I can teach her more easily. There's no other reason," Leon said quickly. "But-" Iris was still hesitant because she didn't want Ruth to move in. Leon had already promised George, so she couldn't really refuse it. "Don't worry, Iris. Leon is a pointless divorcee. He's completely useless. Only you and Iris would treasure someone like him. I dislike him completely."
