Chapter 139 A Big Short's Prisoner

• As Leonard entered the venue, a sense of bustling excitement engulfed him. A massive banner was hanging on the innermost wall of the venue. Below the banner, neatly dressed hostesses and staff were all prepared. Below them was the area designated for media reporters, filled with cameras. Aside from that, there was a row of seats to the side, reserved for the VIPs attending today’s event. Afte; Leonard entered, Gracia immediately came to greet him and led him to the VIP seating area, Several wealthy individuals in the room, who had invested in the Santos Group, stood up to greet Leonard, Ethan, Waylon, and the others had not arrived yet, but judging from the time, they should be there soon. When Leonard took his seat, these people also retook their seats.
• Gracia, busy with various responsibilities, continued to oversee the event and whispered instructions to nearby staff. Not far away, the Santos Group’s employees and many media reporters looked at them in astonishment, whispering to each other, “Who is this young man?” However, Kenia wasn’t surprised. She had suspected that Leonard might be a business partner of the Santos Group. Therefore, his invitation to the press conference was entirely expected. It was said that the press conference, there was also a luncheon scheduled to take place at the club. “Mr. Santos, you’re here.
• Today is your shining moment,” said a wealthy man nearby. Leonard just smiled slightly, knowing that after today, those within the Galen Group who had doubted him would have a new opinion of him. Gracia served as the president of the Santos Group, and she had experienced many similar press conferences. But today, she was somewhat excited. As soon as news broke that Santos Group had received an investment of 120 billion dollars, Newden would undoubtedly be in an uproar. The news media present had only been informed about the Santos Group securing investments, but they didn’t know the exact amount. Undoubtedly, when everyone in the venue learned about the truth, they would be too shocked to speak.
