Chapter 496 Heading To The Racing Venue
"My team is already on it," Dave said, a sly grin spreading across his face.
"I’ve tightened control over the situation—not to protect them, but to ensure that Hera’s popularity remains intact for now. We’ll finish the account checks and the investigation before making any announcements."
"This way, the Lennons can’t twist public opinion against us, and they’ll think they have a chance to retaliate, only to sink deeper into the mess they’ve created." His smirk grew as he reveled in how he was outmaneuvering the Lennons.
Leo’s face reflected his approval of Dave’s strategy, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips as he continued to eat.
Hera, meanwhile, listened intently, already grasping the nuances of the situation.
She had expected this discussion, fully aware that it was all part of the strategic maneuvers they were likely to employ.
After all, this was exactly what she had anticipated from them all along.
However, she never expected Leo to mesh so seamlessly with everyone or to exude such a commanding presence.
Luke, who had typically held that position as the main male lead, showed no signs of anger at Leo for stepping into that role.
This greatly surprised Hera. Moreover, it seemed Leo was fully aware of everyone’s schemes and plans, which added another layer of astonishment for her.
As she pieced everything together, Hera realized that while they had already moved against the Lennons by using the Everetts’ products as bait—reporting them to the authorities under Dave’s leadership—it also indicated that one of the Everetts was colluding with the Lennons to embezzle money.
