Even though Michael was fuming with rage, Leonardo remained calm, "But I don't feel any benefit the Emerson Group has brought to me."
Michael snorted coldly, "The food you have, the clothes your wear and your reputation are all from the Emerson family."
"I don't need these things. Even without the support of the Emerson family, I can get money and fame. What about you? Without the Emerson Group, you are good for nothing." Leonardo put it bluntly and shamed Michael as he felt like it.
"Do you really think you are full-fledged?" After Michael finished, he sneered, "You can try to bankrupt the Emerson Group."
The tension between them suddenly heightened.
They looked at each other for a while before Leonardo said through his teeth, "Where is my daughter?"
"How would I know where your daughter is? You hid her up, didn't you?" Michael smiled triumphantly.
Leonardo clenched his hands under the table, and a glimmer of displeasure was between his eyebrows.
Michael remembered that Leonardo was quite adorable in his childhood. However, after his mother passed away, they became more and more estranged.
In the past few years, Leonardo had become stronger. Leonardo was his biological son, but he found him hard to read most of the time.
Therefore, Michael was sometimes a little afraid of Leonardo.
However, Leonardo had a fatal weakness: he
was too sentimental. Michael could exploit this weakness of Leonardo to control him.
Thinking of this, Michael put on a triumphant smile again. "My granddaughter must be very cute. When you have time, remember to bring her back to the Emerson's. After all, she is my granddaughter. The conflict between us has nothing to do with her."
After he finished, he took a deep look at Leonardo before getting up and leaving.
The servant stood guard outside the restaurant and greeted Michael respectfully, "Mr. Michael."
The cracking sounds of plates falling to the ground came out from the restaurant.
The sounds were clear and ear-piercing.
The servant hurriedly walked in and saw Leonardo looked down and bowed slightly, his hands on the dining table. Leonardo was gathering his wrath.
The ground was messy, covered with leftovers and broken utensils. It was obvious that Leonardo had swept those things off the table.
The servant carefully stepped forward and didn't dare to ask, "Mr. Emerson, let me clean it up..."
Leonardo ignored her.
The servant could tell that Leonardo was not in the mood to talk to her, so she called the other two servants to clean the restaurant.
Leonardo looked down, his eyes filled with hatred and ruthlessness.
Michael seemed to deny that he had taken Rosie away, but it was clear that he was threatening Leonardo.
In other words, Rosie would be fine if they could live in peace with each other. Otherwise, it was hard to say how he would treat Rosie.
Michael seemed certain to win, so it was sure that Michael had got Rosie.
Rosie was taken away by someone sent by Michael. His purpose was to use Rosie to threaten Leonardo.
Although they were estranged from each other, they had never really played tricks on each other.
Leonardo did not expect that Michael had planned to kidnap Rosie very early.
Since Michael could play such a dirty trick, Leonardo was even more certain that there was more about his mother back then.
As for Mr. Charlie, there must be something more.
But Leonardo needed to figure out the order in which things happened. Leonardo felt that all accidents were correlated with the kidnapping case back then, so he needed to make it clear first.
