The party ended at 1am in the early hours of the new day. Amanda saw Leonard and Mary off to the parking lot."You didn't have to come out here, Amanda. There are still guests in the hall, " Mary said with a smile as they walked towards the car." Well, I'm not complaining, am I?" Amanda raised a brow cheerfully. The reason she had followed them out was because of Leonard. He was an esteemed customer at their bank so she couldn't let him go out of the hotel without a proper escort. " Leonard, once again I apologise. "Leonard waved his hand indifferently. " You don't have to, okay? It's not your fault that some people choose to look down on others and be stupid."Amanda heaved a sigh and nodded. Leonard was really a good man and if everyone was like him, the world would have been a better place.Rich scions often look down on the poorer folks, seeing them as people who can never reach their heights without remembering that their fathers had also tasted poverty before. But Leonard w
Leonard took slow steps, narrowing his eyes at the two damaged cars. Five burly men in black came down from the car which had collided with the tree. They didn't seem to be injured at all. Leonard glanced at the other unmoving car, he felt a very powerful aura in the car, much more powerful than these men. Who could be in that car? "Are you Leonard Marshall?" One of the burly men asked with a raised brow. Was this the man who had killed Ademaro's son? Leonard was a tall, handsome and skinny man. The burly man couldn't believe that he was the one who had defeated Ademaro's son. Leonard released a smirk from both corners of his lips. "What do you think?" "Punk! You killed the only son of our master and you still have the audacity to be arrogant! Today, you die!" "Attack!" The man yelled with fury. A wide invisible burst of murderous aura exuded from Leonard. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, the smirk on his lips made him look like a demon let loose from hell. Th
Leonard kept mute staring at her with a surprised look on his face. "You don't have to worry about how I knew that though. I'm actually well learner." "I'm not with them." Leonard sneered and furrowed his brows. "You're not with them? Do you take me for a fool?" " Well, not really. It may be true that I tried to harm you but I just wanted to test your strength." " Someone who is able to kill Ademaro's son without batting an eyelid must be very formidable. So I wanted to get to know you." " If we end up fighting, I may lose my life in the process and I don't want to risk it. I have a proposal for you. " Leonard's expression was unfathomable. " And do you think I would have any interest in your proposal? " Natasha chuckled slightly with a sly smile formed at the corner of her lips. " You know, I never make a move without thinking first. So think about it, if I wanted to propose a deal to you, do you think it wouldn't be of interest to you? " Leonard found her words quite inter
The Next Day, The Reigns Manor. "Dad, you must avenge me!" Roman cried out to his father, Bruce Reigns.Bruce sat on an expensive and luxurious cushion and stared at his disheveled son."Are you trying to tell me that a common bottom feeder actually humiliated and embrassed you at the party last night?" Bruce asked with a raised brow." Yes father. I heard he works at Kay's Corporation as Mary's personal assistant. Dad, you must avenge this humiliation and embarrassment I have suffered! "" Enough! I thought you have grown to be a matured man with a sense of reasoning but I was wrong. You actually let a common personal assistant trick you, " Bruce scolded harshly. Roman hung his head low, keeping mute. "I definitely won't let this lie low. Our family has become a laughing stock in the city now. Let's go teach that punk a lesson. "Roman let out a sinister smile. Now, let's see how you can escape this! You must pay the price for humiliating me.… The Kay's Corporation."Ademaro i
"George, I won't stand here and listen to you insult my family! You had better bring that punk down here, the experts I've brought here ain't for decoration!" Bruce pointed furiously at his nose." Uncle Bruce, you have no right to threaten my father in that manner! " Mary snapped angrily. " Leonard isn't someone you can afford to offend. "Roman guffawed loudly after hearing what Mary said. He was laughing so hard that his entire body was shaking, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke ever." Hahaha, Mary, have you gotten addicted to lying? You kept on defending that useless good-for-nothing back at the party and now, you're defending him yet again."" Besides, he just an ordinary employee with no powerful background. He can't do anything to the Reigns. "" Let me tell you, I'll cripple that punk's limbs in front of you and drag him to our residence. He will die in a miserable way that in his next life, he will be so scared to tread the path of the Reigns! "Roman's eyes were
What Leonard said caused an uproar in the lobby." Did he just say Mr Bruce Reigns isn't worthy of his apology? "" Who the hell do he think he is? "" He's definitely courting death! "… Bruce was enraged! This punk actually dared to say he had no right to seek an apology from him!He only wanted to give him one last chance because he found him interesting, Leonard wasn't even scared when his life was threaten. But, now, he regrets it! Roman sneered happily. Leonard had just ruined every chance of him being left in one piece.What a fool!"How dare you talk to my father in that manner?! What do you mean by he is not worthy of your apology?!""Hehe, you're courting death!" Roman said, shaking his head. Leonard immediately glanced at him with piecing gaze which made Roman subconsciously take a step backwards and gulp down his saliva. A wave of fear surged in his heart.Damn! This punk has a terrifying gaze."Punk, you're just trying to act so impressive in front of everyone, isn't i
Bruce stared at the retreating figures with despair and anger surging in his heart. He has finally lost what he had fought to get for so many years in just one day because of over-indulging his son. The employees stared at him with pity in their eyes, but some felt that he had deserved it. He didn't investigate the matter properly before storming in here to create a ruckus in their company.His son was clearly at fault for being too arrogant and ruthless but yet he didn't chastise him instead he rushed down here and put all the blame on Leonard, just because he thought he was poor. Now, the tables have turned in Leonard's favor! Bruce stood upright and glanced coldly at his son, whose face was swollen as a pig's head and covered with finger-like marks due to his slaps; he walked away from the company with great shame.The almighty Bruce Reigns has fallen! … Brooklyn, The lotus group. Ademaro paced round his room with signs of anxiety and worry on his face. His hairy hands were
Marvin's Supermarket.Leonard drove his black jaguar into the parking lot of the supermarket and walked out of his car.He had volunteered to go get some foodstuffs for the house. Although he had maids, he wanted to do it himself. After all, he has been doing it for the past three years. Pulling the handle of the door, he accidentally bumped into a woman, spilling her bought goods on the floor.He reached down to help her pack it up, muttering sorry."Leonard?" A feminine voice gasped with surprise. Leonard glanced up and saw Emily standing close to a familiar lady with a petite face, in her late 20's.She was the one he had bumped into. Her name was Audrey, she was one of Emily's closest friends back then in college. Audrey furrowed her brows, her face then turned into a deep frown, her eyes filled with disgust."So you finally got out of jail?" She asked with disdain.Leonard nodded indifferently. If she wanted to act coldly towards him then there was no reason for him to be poli
