Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 69 Fired...!
Author's point of view... The air bore heavy on Lara. There was a silence in the entire hall. Those standing beside her slid away from her side silently, after all, who would be willing to sail a drowning ship? Looking at the situation, Jennifer rushed to Leo and requested calmly, "Sir please, if it was for me, then please don't do anything" Leo tilted his head and peered at the young lady. Don't do anything...! But she didn't even know what he was up to and it wasn't just about her. Lara had disrespected him too and from the moment Leo got this amazing system, he is no longer tolerable to those humiliations. He was about to tell the young lady that it had nothing to do with her but before he could Lara stormed forward grabbed Jennifer's hair and dragged her aside. "Bloody bitch...! It was all your fault" she gritted and slapped Jennifer so hard that she fell on the ground. Everything was frozen. "Enough...!" Leo grunted as he saw Lara raising her heel to hit the poor woman aga

And being the biggest financial group, they own many firms in the entire city, though it may be real estate firms or any other biggest firms. This was the reason why Helen Connell's relatives were sticking up to her to silently seize her properties too. Linda was the direct secretary to Helen, the chairperson herself. The common people never even got the chance to see her in person unless there was a very important business.It hadn't been so long when the beautiful woman walked inside the office building in a hurry. Everyone gaped at her with surprise and disbelief. Mark still couldn't get himself out of the shock he had been in. At this moment, Lara was stunned to see her fiancee collapse on the ground, her father frowned and Mark was dumbfounded. Even the surrounding employees were reeling in shock. They were scared and senseless b
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 71 You made me do that...
Author's point of view... The moment Leo received the call, many unsolved puzzles ran wild in his mind. After all, the place he was summoned was not a usual place to go. Police station...! But why?? His confusion had raised a turmoil inside him, assuming many possibilities. Could it be because of the complaint that Jack had registered back then? Or could it be because of the thing that he had been impersonating Helen's son? He even thought that he could just run away from that city but that wasn't a good option anyway. Smacking all those disturbing thoughts away from his mind, when he reached the police station, he took a deep breath and walked in. But before he could find the one who called him, he was greeted by a familiar voice from behind him, that jolted him. "Leo you are finally here"Leo immediately turned around to see James staring at him in panic. James's forehead creased in anxiety and he almost lunged approaching Leo. He grabbed Leo's hands as he spoke further, "
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 72 Date with a mess...
Author's point of view... "Hey, young people, what can I get you?" Robin asked with a welcoming smile as the couple settled in a free table. The man poured them a glass of water from the jug on the bar and waited while Leo studied the menu."I'll have cheese spaghetti and..." he stopped as Jessica grabbed the menu from his hands."Two regular coffees with an extra shot and two plates of your special, please." she was a regular customer of that place, of course, she knew what was good here so Leo just crossed his hands over his chest and sat glancing at the young woman. "Coming right up!" Robin responded, and he turned to head toward the kitchen. Leo was looking around, sneaking glances at Jessica, as she was so excited about coming to a simple place like that. It was not Leo's first time to be in a simple place but he was quite surprised to see a young girl like Jessica being interested in simplicity. Where all girls at her age cling to fancy and expensive restaurants, she was mor
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 73 Delicious...!!
Author's point of view... As the commotion increased, the other customers ran away but Jessica walked towards the kitchen. She looked at Leo holding a gun in his hands and the other goons were smirking at him casually. Heaving a big sigh, Jessica rolled her eyes annoyed. "This man..." she sat back at the table so casually as if nothing strange was happening in there. Leo had already read the mind of the gang leader, but instead of getting panicked, he rolled the gun in his hands like playing with a toy. The leader laughed louder. If it were some normal man, he would have peed in his pants by now but Leo jumped sitting on the table behind him, and crossed his legs. "So... Do you think you caught me? Ha ha ha ha" the leader sneered at the young man's confidence. The others around him chortle similarly. Leo looked at the girl before instructing her, "Take your father to the safe side, Hanna," his voice was very normal and he had got hold of the situation already. Though Hanna di
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 74 Royalty Club...
Author's point of view... Jessica was a bit confused, she looked at Leo who was now licking his fingers in amusement. Every bite that he just had resembled some kind of heavenly food that he never had. On being asked what he was planning to do, Leo just smirked mysteriously and whispered into her ears, "You will get to know..."She could see him becoming more and more like a mysterious person, the way he spoke and through the manipulative attitude that was increasingly more mysterious. He started doing things in a blink of an eye. Taking decisions in seconds. Everything about him was now like a jumbled puzzle that she couldn't solve. What is going on with him? It was true that she brought him here so that he could help Robin but she never thought he would be so impressed by his cooking skills that he would even offer Robin a job. "Don't put on such a poker face," Leo said and realized that Jessica was staring at him confused. Jessica instantly smacked herself back from the haze a
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 75 Old scores have to be settled...
Author's point of view... Leo shoved his hands in his pocket but his lips pursed downward as he noticed his mistake. He felt embarrassed to have forgotten the box in the car. Linda had mentioned again and again that the card was a must and should yet he forgot it. "Agh...I just...forgot..." Leo couldn't complete his words as the man before him sneered, "I knew it..." The elegant smile on his face turned into a disdainful smirk immediately and he crossed his arms across his chest. "Security..." he called out, ironically. Bran looked at the young man with a knowing look. It wasn't his first time to deal with a young man like him, he had dealt with many of his kind before. Bran concluded, that Leo obviously didn't have an entry card with him. According to Bran, Leo was just one of those who bragged about having a club card before their friends and girlfriends. Bran sighed in irritation, he just wanted to get Leo out of the club as quickly as possible. As the security guards arrived
Rich Nights of a Penniless Chapter 76 Old settlement...!
Author's point of view... The moment Leo heard Jack's voice, he felt his blood started boiling in his body. He was never a man of anger but Jack was one of those who could make a decent person into a beast in no time. Every inch of him was fuming in anger. He instantly recalled the past. It was his first day as a cleaner when he first met Jack outside the canteen. Though Jack was just an assistant manager at that time, he had very cruel behavior towards his subordinates, especially Leo. He noticed that the new cleaner was a talk of attention among the ladies in the office and just to come to terms with his jealousy, he was in search of a chance to beat Leo out of shape. Just because Leo stumbled upon him, Jack and his friends had beaten Leo up so brutally. That was just the beginning. After that incident, Leo became a tool for their enjoyment. A plaything.They beat him up as they pleased, and tortured him every time. It was not that Leo couldn't fight back but his financial probl

Leo stepped back, giving his parents the space they needed as they clung to each other, the years of pain and separation melting away in their embrace. Slowly hugging his girlfriend, Leo indulged in the delicacy of reunion. Leo watched them, his own emotions threatening to overwhelm him. He had dreamed of this moment for so long, and now that it was here, he felt a profound sense of peace. His family was finally whole again. Helen's eyes were still moist with tears as she held onto Renard's hand, her fingers trembling slightly from the overwhelming emotion. She couldn't believe that she was seeing her husband after nearly twenty years.

Chapter 110 Reunion...!

The beggar snatched the food from her hands but then paused. Jessica wasn't brothered at all, instead, she wanted to help that beggar by lending him some more money. Then suddenly the stopped and was mumbling something to himself. "Th...thank ...y...you..." Slowly, he raised his head, and for the first time, Jessica got a good look at his face. His eyes were sunken, his skin weathered, and his hair matted with dirt, but there was something familiar about him that she couldn’t quite place. As he looked at her, a faint glimmer of recognition flickered in her eyes. Jessica was dumbfounded. Was that man...!! Was that him? “Thank you, young lady,” the man mumbled, his voice raspy with exhaustion. “Thank you so much for the food. My son is still waiting for me. He must be so hung

Chapter 109 The strange encounter...!
Author's point of view... That day, Leo felt so uncomfortable even to spend another second there, wasting time. After grabbing something to eat, Leo and Jessica arrived at the NGO with a sense of urgency, the weight of their mission pressing down on them. The place was quiet, with only a few staff members moving about. They immediately recognized Jessica as she was a volunteer there. Jessica led the way, her mind racing with memories from years ago. They were here to search through the records, hoping to find any information about the man she had encountered during a medical camp—a man she now knew was Leo's father, Renard Edward Connard, her Aunt's husband. When asked, the staff told her that those records might be destroyed as if had been so long. But Jessica insisted on checking them. They poi red towards a shabby room. The records room was tucked away in a corner of the building, a small, dusty space filled with rows of old files and boxes stacked high. Jessica hesit

Chapter 108 The man in the photo...
Author's point of view... The first light of dawn crept into the room, casting a soft glow over the sleeping figure on the bed. Jessica stirred, blinking her eyes open as she adjusted to the early morning light. She stretched, feeling the cool air against her skin, and realized with a start that Leo wasn’t anywhere in the room. Panic gripped her momentarily as the memories of the previous day's events came flooding back. Leo had returned late, his mind elsewhere, burdened with a weight he couldn’t fully comprehend. He hadn’t come to the room after that. Where is he? Worried, Jessica slipped out from under the covers and rushed out of the bed to looked around. As she padded towards the terrace, she didn't find any trace of him, there either. Her breath caught in her throat as she stepped outside. Did he go somewhere?Did something happen again? Jessica recalled everything, how Leo seemed to be worried last night and she panicked at the thought of something going wrong wit

Chapter 107 We will meet again...Mom...!
Author's point of view... Leo was puzzled. He couldn't understand what mystery this was. Should he laugh or cry? Mr. Renard Connard read the father's name again, then shifted his gaze towards the column of his mother's name, Helen Connard...! Helen was his birth mother?? He flipped over the photograph to see the faces of his parents once again, more clearly. However, just as he took it out again, the shocking resemblance took him aback. Tears filled his eyes again. "This...!!" He quickly reached for the other paper, pulling out the letter with trembling fingers. His heart pounded as he unfolded it, recognizing the worn edges of a note written in haste. As his eyes darted across the page, the truth hit him like a punch to the gut. It was a letter from his father. *Renard Edward Connard.* Leo’s knees nearly buckled as he read, the weight of the words sinking into him like an anchor. The letter explained everything—how his father had left him at the orphanage when he wa

Chapter 106 Mr. and Mrs. Connard...!!
Author's point of view...The envelope was empty...! Leo snuck his fingers into it and checked it again and again. A surge of frustration shot through him. He clenched his fist, trying to contain the anger bubbling beneath the surface. How could the system betray him like this? He had done everything and sacrificed so much, only to be left with nothing. Jessica, sensing his distress, placed a hand on his arm. “Leo? What’s wrong?” Leo pulled himself back immediately, he can't let her worry. He forced a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “It’s nothing,” he lied, his voice tight. “Just... something which I didn't expect.” Jessica frowned, but she didn’t press further. She could feel the tension radiating from him and knew better than to pry. Instead, she stood by his side, offering silent support as Leo grappled with the storm of emotions inside him.Leo felt cheated, betrayed but he didn't let it show on his face. At least, he can't tell this to anyone. Controlling himself w

Chapter 105 Empty...!
Author's point of view... Leo and Jessica walked side by side down the quiet street, the Connard estate fading behind them. They took a taxi back to the city. Daniel had taken care of everything about his restaurant. After giving up on all those luxuries that the system had provided him, the only thing that Leo had now was his restaurant, as the system believed that it was solely his hard work. And he deserved it. The villa he bought was under the name of Connard estates and so he had to leave it behind. Now, Leo was back in his small shabby room on the terrace of the restaurant. When they reached their restaurant, its closed doors greeted them with an eerie silence, offering a rare moment of privacy. The employees were all tired after the chaos that they had suffered, and because of this, Leo had given them all a few day's leave. Everybody needs some time for themselves, including him. As they stepped Inside, the space felt strangely peaceful, as though it, too, had b

Chapter 104 Be my son...!
Author's point of view... Helen stood tall, but her strength was faltering. She had just witnessed everything. The boy she raised as her son wanted to kill her. The weight of everything, the betrayal, the revelations, the heartbreak, seemed to crash down on her all at once. Her breath became shallow, her body swaying on weakened legs. Before anyone else could react, Leo rushed forward, catching her just as her body began to give way. "Ma'am, be careful...!" The moment his hands touched her, an electric jolt seemed to pass through Helen. She blinked in daze, looking up at Leo as if seeing him in a new light. His steady, concerned gaze met hers, and for a fleeting second, she thought of her son, her real son, the boy she had lost so long ago. He would be around Leo’s age now. How different things might have been had he lived. Leo gently eased her into a chair, his touch careful, almost reverent. His presence brought her a small measure of comfort, a warmth she hadn’t felt i

Chapter 103 You tried to kill me??
Author's point of view... The gun in Alvin's hand dropped as he saw Helen standing before him. Helen stepped forward, her eyes scanning the room, filled with sorrow and disappointment. “I never thought my own family would betray me,” she said, her voice soft yet firm, carrying the weight of a truth long hidden. Leo and Jessica exchanged glances before stepping forward at Helen’s call. They approached her, and she placed a gentle hand on each of them, her grip weak but meaningful. “If not for them,” Helen continued, her gaze settling on Alvin, “I would have died long ago in that accident.” Her voice cracked, but she held her composure. “Jessica, Leo, they were the only ones who stood by me. Jessica, at my request, carried out this entire plan so we could unearth the truth about the accident. And now, it’s clear… it was my own family behind it, the son I raised...” her eyes filled with tears. It was true that she wanted to find her lost son but she never treated Alvin as
