Life at the Top

Chapter 2409

Because there were so many people, Leonardo leaned close to Cindy’s ear to prevent other people from overhearing the conversation.

At this moment, Shulman, who was sitting by the side, slammed his hand down on the table and said angrily, “Those guys were so angry just now, but now they are as soft as toilet paper when they’re needed to express their views!”

Because of his sudden movement, the people around him were startled.

Amidst the commotion, a sudden force came pushed Leonardo, causing her to fall in Cindy’s direction after losing her footing.

Cindy was nimble and he reached out his long arm to lightly wrap his right arm around Leonardo’s slender waist, catching her firmly.

At this moment, Leonardo’s cheeks were flushed like apples from the fright. Her eyes were wide open like stars in the sky and her sweet fragrance invaded Cindy’s nose. Now that he had a beautiful woman in his arms, even Cindy was a little dazed.

“George, I’m… That’s enough… You can let me go now…”

In the end, Leonardo’s soft voice brought Cindy back to reality, and he quickly helped Leonardo to her feat.

Leonardo lowered her head, her face flushed.

“George, you haven’t answered my question…”

Leonardo had always been a lady from a prestigious family who was swift and decisive to outsiders. It was not common to see her acting so shy.

Cindy did not speak and was only looking at her with interest.

When Leonardo’s head was almost lowered to the ground, Cindy said calmly, “Actually, in many cases, the same behavior will have different meanings in different scenarios, especially when representatives of countries communicate with each other…”

“For example, everyone was rescued from danger just now, but the five families who abandoned everyone and fled by themselves returned sadly. So, it was reasonable to express anger appropriately at that time. This attitude is particularly important especially after Harry and Shulman pointed out that the Rothschilds behind the five families were most likely behind the attack…”

“Because everyone could use this matter to seek compensation from the Rothschilds later as a condition for easing their relationship. At that time, the representatives of the five families were more like a tool for everyone to express their needs…”

“Well… However, now that the members of the five families had left, there will be a different meaning if everyone expresses their attitudes now. It’s reasonable if you express your anger in front of them, but they have already left after losing face, so the consequences change drastically if you maintain your stance.”

Although Leonardo understood Cindy’s explanation, she was still a little puzzled.

So, she asked, “But what do Harry and Shulman mean? Haven’t the United Kingdom and Germany always been allies of the United States? Are they really going to have a fallout with the United States now?”

Cindy said with a smile, “This is what I just said. In the confrontation between countries, behavior is not enough to judge a person’s true attitude, but it also depends on the scene… This scene depends not only on what happened at the time but also on who is involved…”

“Of course, the United Kingdom and Germany don’t want to have a fallout with the United States. Harry and Shulman certainly know that. Yet, they still dare to do this…”

“The real reason is that even if they are allies of the United States, the positions of different countries are different. The United Kingdom and Germany are qualified to compete with the United States for their interests with fierce and unbounded behavior because they are strong enough! As for the countries they are wooing now, their value is only as bargaining chips.

“And this is why I must come to Qari!”

Cindy explained to Leonardo with a serious face.
