For a moment, countless gazes were on Leonard. The guests were whispering to themselves and guessing who Leonard was with disdain in their mouths. Most of them found it annoying that they were breathing the same air with a lowlife like Leonard in the hall. Amanda's eyes beamed with delight when she saw Leonard. Handing over the red box to a servant, she walked gracefully towards Leonard with a wide smile on her face. "Leonard, you came." Leonard nodded. "Yes, I did. Happy birthday, you look beautiful." Amanda blushed shyly like a little girl. Her eyes landed on Mary sitting beside him. "Hello Mary, thanks for honoring my invitation." Mary waved her hand perfunctorily, "You don't have to thank me dearie. Happy birthday." Seeing the peculiar gazes her guests gave Leonard, Amanda felt a little embrassed. "Everyone Leonard here is an honored guest of mine. So please treat him with the respect you would give to me." Roman suddenly said, " Hmph, it happens that everyone here has p
"What a beautiful set of emerald jewelry! The color and transparency are so beautiful!" "I saw this set of emerald jewelry in the Lovable Legacy before, and I remember that was their most expensive jewelry. It costs over 2 million dollars!" " What?! Are you serious? It's costs over 2 million dollars?! It's really expensive! " " This set of emerald jewelry is so beautiful that I'm tempted! If I had known, I would have asked my fiance to buy it for me when I saw it! " Many people especially women who were lovers of jewelry, couldn't keep their eyes off Leonard's gift as they speculated and discussed the price and value of the green emerald jewelry. After Jordan heard the price, his face twitched vigorously before turning sullen immediately. Nicholas clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, feeling extremely furious. He thought that his gift which was worth more than a million dollars, was extremely expensive. He didn't expect this worthless man's gift to be more expensive than hi
Nicholas felt utterly embarrassed. Clenching his fists, he walked out of the venue with the sullen Jordan. Although, Amanda had only threatened to send them away, they left on their own. There was no way they would be able to stay here anymore. How would they hold their faces? It was better to leave than keep on staying here. They weren't really that thick skinned. The Mcee took his time to calm down the crowd and soon the party resumed. … "Hey waiter!" Roman said, snapping his fingers at the nearest passing waiter. The waiter walked towards their table with a tray of drinks in his hand. "Yes sir. Is there anything you would like to drink?" The waiter asked with a smile. Roman glanced at Leonard with his left eye which didn't go unnoticed by him. Let's see how you'll get yourself out of this. Roman still didn't believe that it was Leonard who had purchased the gift, after all Mary had followed him to Lovable Legacy. Maybe they were in cohorts to save Leonard's reputation s
Roman stared at Justin with confusion. What does this old man think he's doing? Is he trying to tell on him? They had both planned to humiliate Leonard and make Amanda chase him out of the party. But, what Justin was doing wasn't part of the plan. Roman gritted his teeth and murmured, staring at Justin with menace. "What are you doing? This isn't part of the plan!" Justin ignored him and turned to face Leonard with a sweat-drenched face. "Mister, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to speak so rudely to you." Justin kept on apologizing that he made Leonard furrow his brows in confusion. What's making this man feel so frightened at the sight of him? He had never met him before? Leonard inhaled sharply and said coldly, "Who asked you to do this?" Justin immediately exchanged glances with Roman and swallowed. "It was Mr Roman," he muttered. Although Justin's voice wasn't that audible but due to the pin drop silence in the hall, the guests heard him. "Oh my! Roman Reigns actually
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
