Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 152 Leo in Pain

At exactly eleven in the morning, Alistair received two messages nearly at the same time.

Aaron: [Janice passed the audition! Thank you so much for giving her this opportunity. She's incredibly grateful. Would it be possible to thank you in person?]

Yves: [That girl you recommended passed the audition.]

As Alistair looked down to reply, the door swung open.

The person who entered was fully disguised with oversized sunglasses. He glanced at Alistair with a complicated expression.

Leo had shown up, accompanied by his assistant, Ezra Cain. Caroline looked up and spoke coolly, "He can wait outside."

Leo instinctively looked at Alistair.

Alistair gave him a polite smile.

I'm not the outsider here.

Leo clenched his jaw and waved Ezra out. Ezra hesitated. "You really can't afford another incident. The concert-"

Leo snapped, "Out!"

Once Ezra left, Caroline got straight to the point. "I'm only here today out of respect for my grandmother. So let me give you a formal warning. Tell your mother to back off. I have plenty of dirt on her. I've been busy, but if she's in a hurry to pick a fight, I don't mind making time."

Even through the mask, Leo's reaction was visible. He had clearly assumed Caroline had come for his girlfriend-wait, no, ex-girlfriend. But now he realized this wasn't about Freya at all.

She was here for Paige.

And what kind of son would sit there and let someone threaten his mother to his face?

Even if she was his cousin-it was too much.

Leo shot to his feet and slammed a palm against the table. "Caroline, that's enough! I used to let things slide because you were young and didn't know better, but now you're the president of a company. You can't keep using that excuse. If you talk to me like this again, I swear I'm going to lose it!"

Alistair frowned.

He didn't mind putting Leo on the floor again, but he figured he should let Caroline finish first.

Just then, with a loud bang, the door flew open. Ezra had kicked
