Chapter 520

The signing ceremony began precisely on schedule. Leo took to the stage, delivering a lengthy speech before finally reaching the most crucial moment: the signing itself. As silence settled over the crowd, attendees readied their cameras, eager to capture the perfect shot. Suddenly, as Gabriel Dawson, the representative from Xander Group, began to sign his name, his phone rang. "Mr. Xander, I'm listening," he said, his expression shifting as he listened intently. After a moment, he added, "We haven't begun signing yet. We're still in the process." Seeing the look on Gabriel's face sent a wave of unease through Leo. Just before hanging up, Gabriel said, "Understood." He then rose and addressed Leo, apologizing, "I'm sorry, but there has been a change in our company's plans. The signing today likely won't proceed." Leo's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why? We had everything agreed upon!" "It's Mr. Xander's decision. You can contact him for more details," Gabriel explained.
