The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 86
However, Leon noticed something peculiar.
“Iri- I mean, Miss Young… The Wick Group’s share of sales channels is ranked first, so why aren’t we
considering cooperation with them?” Leon asked curiously. The Wick Group seemed to vaguely ring a
bell, but he could not remember where or when he heard about them before.
As soon as Leon asked that, the entire conference room became eerily quiet.
Everyone turned their attention to him and looked strangely at him as if they stared at an idiot.
“It seems you haven’t done any homework at all before you came here, Mister Wolf. How can you not
know even the most basic general knowledge?” A mocking smirk unfolded across Michael’s face.
“General knowledge? About what?” Leon was confused.
“You’re embarrassing yourself, Leon! Never mind then, I’ll tell you!” Ariel glared at Leon angrily and said,
“the Wick Group’s sales channels in terms of cosmetics are all high–end and luxury goods! Many world–
renowned big–name cosmetics and luxury goods are handed over to them for distribution. They’re the

Ariel then continued, “The cosmetics we produce are mid- to high–end. We did take the initiative to
approach the Wick Group to discuss potential cooperation some time ago, but we weren’t accepted! So
you see, it’s not that we don’t want to cooperate with them, but rather, they are the ones who aren’t
interested in our company and brand. We’re also not competitive enough yet. Do you understand why
now?”
She could not help but feel a little peeved after explaining everything in one breath. It boggled her why
Iris would hold such a high–level meeting and insist on bringing a clueless Leon. He served no purpose
there other than to embarrass himself and Iris!
“I see…” Leon smiled awkwardly. He did not expect to have made such a big fool of himself in public. He
blushed at once and wanted nothing more than to burrow himself into a hole.
“Ignorance is fine, but ignorance and stupidity are a recipe for disaster!” Michael chuckled in disdain and
mocked sarcastically.
The crowd shook their heads and viewed Leon as a joke.
At that moment, someone’s cell phone began ringing out of nowhere and the sound

resonated across the conference room.
“Whose phone is that coming from?”
“Don’t they know that it’s common sense to put it on silent or switch it off during a meeting?”
“This is unacceptable behavior…”
Everyone exchanged surprised glances with each other until finally, they identified the source of the
ringing and unanimously turned their attention to Leon.
“It’s mine?” Leon was stunned. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was ringing!
Iris just gave it to him about two days ago, so his number was relatively new. Not a lot of people knew his
phone number, hence his surprise that it rang.

“I…” Leon was even more mortified, and words could not express the sheer amount of embarrassment
he felt. He did not even dare to look Iris in the eyes.
He moved his thumb to decline the call but Iris immediately stopped him.
“If you want to answer the call, you can do it outside! Don’t do it inside the
conference room!” Iris mistakenly thought that Leon tried to answer the phone in front of everyone,
hence her displeasure.
When she made the last–minute decision to bring Leon into the important meeting even though she
knew that Leon lacked any business know–how, she already expected that Leon would not bring
anything to the table.
Nevertheless, she would never have dreamed that Leon–who was already of no help, to begin with
would cause her so much trouble and embarrass her
completely!
She could not help but regret her decision. If she knew it would turn out like that, she would not have
agreed the previous night to let him participate in the meeting!
Leon’s entire face was as red as a tomato and he hurriedly walked out of the conference room with his
cell phone for fear of making things even more awkward than it already was.
