All eyes turned to the commotion. A dark silhouette enveloped Claire's eyes. She stared at Edward angrily. That man was really testing her patience."What happened?""Why is she so arrogant?""Is this how they treat guests?"Max and the waiter helped Edward get up. Edward stared at Claire intently, as did the woman who didn't seem afraid of him."Are you okay?" asked Max, holding his cousin's shoulder.Edward didn't answer Max's question, and immediately stepped closer to Claire. "How dare you push me!" he exclaimed."That's not even worth what you did to me!" Claire replied while pointing her index finger at Edward."I just wanted to help you, Claire. Look at your condition, you look really apprehensive.""I don't need your help!" Claire turned around and walked away from the restaurant."You act like a noble. Remember, you're just someone who comes from a poor family. I can even buy that pride of yours!"Hearing Edward's insulting words, Claire turned around and slapped Edward acros

Leon and his mother were on their way home. After the car left the restaurant, Belinda was already looking at her son with a question in her mind."Leon, what do you think of Jasmine's parents?" Belinda asked.Without looking at his mother, Leon replied, "They are very good," he replied simply."Do you think they are suitable to be your in-laws?" Belinda teased.Leon sighed. "What are you talking about, Mom? Jasmine and I are just friends.""Leon, I didn't mean to force you. But a relationship comes from friendship first.""I reckon Jasmine will just be my friend.""Leon, why can you talk like that?" Belinda looked at Leon in surprise."If I wasn't the heir to the Jensen family, would Jasmine really want to be my sincere friend?" Leon's gaze met Belinda's. The hazel eyes looked sad. "One day, if I get married again, I hope to marry a woman who can accept me as I am. She must loved Leon, not an heir. I thought I had found my dream girl in Claire, but I was wrong," he continued."But I

The woman nodded slowly. She looked at Leon questioningly. "How did you know my name?" she asked.Leon smiled bitterly. "Of course I know, you are my classmate," he replied. He suddenly remembered what Anastasia had last said to him. He wasn't allowed to talk to Anastasia, but tonight Leon saved her life instead. The younger Anastasia would never have expected that."My classmate?" Anastasia was very surprised. Her eyes squinted up and down Leon from head to toe, then she shook her head. "I've never had a classmate as handsome as you."Leon laughed bitterly. "Last time, you told me never to talk to you. So it looks like I have to get out of here soon." He turned around, and when he was about to take a step, Anastasia stopped him."Wait!" exclaimed Anastasia with a surprised expression. Even she seemed to reject a name that appeared in her mind.Leon smirked. He just stopped and didn't look at Anastasia.Anastasia approached Leon and stood before him. She stared at Leon with an express

"So what's your purpose in coming to see me?" Leon's gaze met Anastasia's."I need your help. Last night, when I arrived at my apartment, I saw three men in front of my room. They're looking for me. I don't know who they are, but what is clear is that I'm sure they have a bad plan," Anastasia explained.Leon frowned. "Are you sure they have bad intentions for you?""Yeah, even I stayed at the hotel last night. Please protect me, Leon, I have no one here." Anastasia begged."How about we go to your apartment now? If things are still dangerous over there, I will help you move.""All right, Leon."Leon opened his drawer and took out two black masks from it. He gave one mask to Anastasia and one to himself."Wear this, it will be better if they don't see our faces."With tears in her eyes, Anastasia said to Leon, "I'm so glad you're still the same as before. You always help me.""This is not the time to talk about that, we have to go there immediately," Leon said as he walked towards the

Jessica was at Leon's house until the night. When the girl left his house, Leon immediately went to Anastasia's room."Anastasia, please open the door!" asked Leon while knocking on the door.Anastasia opened the door and stared at Leon with an unreadable gaze. "Has your woman left?" she asked in a teasing tone.Leon snorted. "She is my cousin, her name is Jessica.""Oh really?" Anastasia folded her hands on her stomach while looking at Leon with an expression of disbelief. "If she really is your cousin, how come I never knew her when I was at school?""She moved to another country when she was a child and just moved here a few months ago. Now she will stay here," explained Leon."Okay, I'll try to believe it.""It's up to you, Anastasia."Leon stepped forward as he spoke. "Let's go to the dining room and have dinner there!""But what if your family suddenly comes here?""It's already late, I'm sure they won't come here.""Okay, I'll come with you." Anastasia ran after Leon.Anastasia
