Chapter 780
“Yes, that sounds fine. Iris had intended to sell Elegante Group at 650 million, so you don’t need to pay that
much…” Ariel admitted.
“That’s okay, I insist on paying 780 million! I think Elegante Group’s potential is worth this,” Leon replied calmly.
“You…” Ariel froze at this. She had been working in this industry for years now, and this was the first time she had
ever come across someone who not only did not ask for negotiation but even volunteered to raise the price of a
company!
However, on second thought, she understood that this was Leon’s way of trying to help Iris.
“Ariel, there’s something else I need your help with. I hope you can be in charge of everything regarding the buy–

company…” Leon said hesitantly.
Now that Albert was gravely ill and yet Iris did not approach him for help meant that she and the Youngs were
determined to draw the line with him. besides, now that he was working closely with the Shears, it would not be
pleasant if Iris and the Youngs found out that he was the one who had bought out Elegante Group.
Therefore, Leon thought it was better for him to help Iris from the shadows.
“How can I do that? How can we hand over Elegante Group’s shares to you if you continue laying low?” Ariel was
surprised by Leon’s bizarre request.
“You don’t have to hand the shares over to me. I would like you to have them,” Leon said, smiling.
“What? Are my ears working properly? This is hundreds of millions of dollars worth of shares we’re talking about–
how can you just decide to transfer it under my name? Aren’t you worried I will take advantage of you?” Ariel could
not believe her ears.

turning on each other over money, but this was a first, she and Leon were not blood–related at all, yet he was
willing to hand over hundreds of millions of dollars worth of shares to her! She was beginning to wonder if this man
had a screw loose.
“I’m not worried. We’re friends, and I believe you.” Leon smiled.
Since he was not able to show up in public as Elegante Group’s new president, he was content with handing
everything over to Ariel. Leon knew that she was a loyal and devoted friend who would not betray him for money!
Besides, if Ariel really intended to do this, she would not have foiled her own plans like this. Since Ariel had willingly
brought it up, this further proved the point that she was a trustworthy friend.
“Well, thank you…” a surge of warmth spread into Ariel’s heart. Leon was the man she liked, so of course she was

However, on second thought, she realized something was amiss.
“Wait a second, you intend to buy out Elegante Group yet you refuse to take the shares–what are you trying to do
here?” she asked quizzically.
Elegante Group had, at the moment, plenty of potential for future development, and if Leon bought out the
company now, he would definitely benefit financially.
Initially, she thought Leon had his eyes set on Elegante Group’s potential and wanted to buy out the company for
future’s sake. However, now, she realized that Leon did not seem to want anything to do with running the company,
and this confused her greatly.
“Elegante Group is Iris‘ blood, sweat, and tears, so how can I let someone else steal everything she built? The truth
is, all I want to do is help her tide this over, and once she gets out of the crisis, I intend to sell the company back to
her at its original price…” Leon sighed.
