Seven years ago, when Leon was 18 years old, he was expelled by his family. They made rules for Leon so that he could win back his rights as the family heir if he passed the trial. Of course, the trial was not easy for Leon. He who was born into a rich family must experience a life full of struggles and far from luxury.

"You can't come back to this family if you can't live independently!" said William Jensen—Leon’s father, whom Leon always remembered.

Leon had no choice but to struggle hard. With his intelligence, Leon managed to establish a company that grew rapidly until it became one of the top 10 companies in the city when he was in college.

However, according to the rules of his family, the profit earned from the company Leon founded would be fully given to the family. Leon only received an allowance of hundreds of dollars a month.

At the hardest moment in Leon's life, he met Claire Weber. A beautiful and cheerful girl who accepted him as he was. Not long after that, they fell in love with each other.

"Leon, I love you with all of my heart. I promise I'll always be on your side, no matter what!" Claire's promise to Leon when Leon proposed. Leon kept remembering his struggles with Claire, but the woman changed when she was at the point of success.

When Leon graduated from college, his family gifted him a cheap house. Leon finally decided to sell the house at a low price so that Claire could open a company. With secret help from Leon, Claire's company has been in the top 100 in their city for three years.

"I'm a useless man? I'm just like a gigolo?!"

Leon rubbed his face roughly. He sighed heavily.

All of Claire's memories and insults toward him were jumbled up in his mind. Leon wandered aimlessly through the streets all night.

Leon leaned his back against the bench. He stared in all directions with a blank stare. Suddenly, his cell phone's ringing interrupted his reverie. He took the call without looking at who was calling him.

"Good morning, Young Master." Leon immediately recognized who had called him. Mickey. The butler of his family.

"Mickey, what's wrong?" he replied.

"There will be a party tonight, and you will be announced as the heir to the family. So you need to come with your wife," said Mickey.

Leon smiled wryly at his family's butler's request. His lips could still smile, even though his heart was aching.

"I can't come with her, we just got divorced last night." Leon tried to be calm when he mentioned the word "divorce", but the butler still heard the tremble.

Mickey was surprised. "Young Master, you must be joking, right?"

Leon snorted. "I can't joke like that!"

Mickey didn't expect Leon to experience such bad things during his happy moment. "I'm sorry to hear that, young master. Are you ok now? What can I do? Maybe we could cancel the party tonight..."

Leon took a deep breath and said, "Don't bother, Mickey. You must have paid a lot for that. Just go a head, I'll be there tonight."

"That's right, Young Master. Who knows, you'll meet a beautiful woman that suits you tonight." Mickey teased.

Leon laughed slightly at Mickey's words. Unfortunately, he still hasn't thought about getting a new woman.

"I am not kidding. Handsome, rich, and respectable men like you will surely be won over by many women, you can choose any woman," Mickey continued.

Leon made a wry smile, "You're right, but it seems I haven't thought about women." Mickey's praise managed to ward off all of Claire's insults and revive Leon's enthusiasm.

In the night, Leon came to attend the party. He appeared to be wearing a black suit. He looked handsome and neat, but his clothes were not branded.

Leon stepped towards the entrance, but his footsteps were stopped by the doorman. Considering that this was a lavish party where only the rich could attend, not just anyone could enter.

"Stop!" Doorman ordered. Leon's pair of eyes glanced casually at the doorman.

"Can I see your party invitation?" asked the doorman.

Leon shook his head. "An invitation? I don't know I need that to join the party. Let me call my butler." Leon explained.

The Doorman frowned.

Leon's answer sounded strange. It looks like all the guests at this party have an invitation.

He looked suspiciously at Leon, who knew this man had come to the party to do bad things and mess things up.

"Mickey..." At that moment, Leon heard a familiar female voice in his ear. Leon rolled his eyes and saw that Claire was there. "Wait a moment!" He ended the call in the middle of a conversation.

Leon saw Claire coming with a man. "Claire? What is she doing here? Who is that man?" muttered Leon.

Claire, who initially did not realize this, was finally shocked when she saw Leon.

Leon glanced at Claire and the man alternately. His gaze was so sharp and full of question marks.

"Le-Leon! Why are you here?" she asked.

It wasn't until Leon answered her question that Claire again made accusations against her ex-husband.

“I must remind you that we're divorced, so please don't follow me. I didn't expect you to be this desperate," she accused.

"I never followed you!" Leon denied it. His gaze focused on the man standing beside Claire.

"Who's he?" he asked.

"He is my business partner." Claire replied.

A tall man with blond hair scanned Leon from head to toe. That man was Edward Lackner. Seeing Leon's clothes made Edward dare to conclude that the man was no match for him.

"I know you came here for sure to chase after Claire. There's no way someone like you was invited to a lavish party like this," said Edward.

Claire gasped at Edward's words. Then she looked at Leon to see her ex-husband's reaction.

"Nothing is impossible in this world," Leon said casually.

Edward snorted. "But for someone like you, everything seems will be impossible!"

Leon exhaled. He came here to attend his family's party, not to argue. Unfortunately, he met with Claire here.

After getting no response from Leon, Edward spoke again. "You must be Claire's loser ex-husband, right?"

"You better shut up because you don't know anything!" replied Leon. Not wanting to waste his energy in vain, Leon decided to leave.

Claire watched Leon leave with a disappointed expression. She sighed in annoyance. "Leon always dodges like this," she muttered. This was one trait that Claire didn't like about Leon. Claire preferred a man who dared to face anything, not a man like Leon who chose to escape.

"I'm sure that loser must have come here for some reason." Edward stared at Leon's back, which was getting away from his sight. Seeing Leon's neat clothes, Edward was sure that the man had come here looking for work.

"Stop!" he cried. "You must have come here to find a job as a waiter, right? I can help you if you want!"

    Claire frowned, she knew why Edward said that, he was just showing off his power. But it was useless, she knew she wouldn’t fell in love with him. Even if he was much richer than Leon. "I'm sure that loser would want to apply to be a waiter!" he replied. Leon turned to Edward. His eyes were so sharp. It looked like Edward wanted to make big trouble with him. "Is that true?" Leon's response made Edward smile with satisfaction. "Of course, I know the host of this party so well. You will definitely be accepted to work as a waiter if I help you," Edward said, folding his hands on his stomach. "Really?" Leon sneered. He followed the flow of Edward's game. Edward showed Leon his invitation. "If you will kneel down and beg me, then I can help you!" Leon's hazel eyes instantly darkened. He knew that Edward was deliberately trying to humiliate him. "How? It's a good opportunity, right? Come on, the party is about to start, and you have to decide soon. Don't worry, I will keep my promise

    "Then why are you just keeping silent while watching that man insult me? You just stood there silently watching Edward talk as he pleased!" Leon said calmly, now he was totally disappointed on Claire.Claire frowned. She folded her arms and said. "Did I hear right? Are you mad at me because I didn't defend you?" Claire said disappointingly, "Leon, if you were a real man, you would definitely be able to stand up for yourself, or you could just accept his offer. Why are you relying on help from a woman?" Claire became increasingly convinced that her decision to divorce Leon was the best decision. The man was nothing more than a loser.Leon just keep silent at Claire's words. He mused. 'I'm not a real man? In fact, I've founded a company that is in the top 10 in the city. If Claire really thinks I'm not a real man just because I don't have any achievements, she's wrong!' He thought.'So Claire hopes that I should accept that arrogant man's offer to become a waiter? I still can't believ

They took their drinks from the waiter, who walked over with a tray filled with drinking glasses. "Cheers!" Claire toasted with two men, namely Noah Hensen and David Stern.

He averted his eyes from the piece of paper he was reading. "Is there something wrong?" he responded."I saw a man who mixed a powder into Mrs. Claire's drink when she went to the toilet. I'm sure that it was a powdered drug so that Miss Claire could lose consciousness," explained the waiter."It looks like that man is going to do something bad to Mrs. Claire. I will tell Young Master about this." Immediately, Mickey went to meet Leon.Mickey's arrival caught Leon's attention, moreover, the butler's expression looked panicked."Young Master, I'm sorry to bother you.

    Leon set foot in the marble-lined seven-star hotel lobby. Decorative lamp hangers made of gems and hotel wall ornaments made of gold. This hotel belonged to the Jensen family, but after Leon was kicked out and put on probation, the man had not set foot in it in a long time.Unlike the arrival of other members of the Jensen family, Leon's arrival did not make the hotel employee's heart beat in the slightest. They thought that Leon was just an ordinary person."Hopefully he hasn't brought Claire into the room," Leon muttered as he ran. He rushed to the reception desk and saw a man there with Claire, who was unconscious. It was even seen that Edward embraced Claire in his arms.Without hesitation, Leon immediately landed a punch on Edward's face, causing the man to fall to the floor. "How dare you touch her!" he shouted.Claire fell into Leon's arms. The man looked at his ex-wife with concern. He took Claire to sit on the sofa near the reception. "Claire, wake up! Clare!"

"Leon, how dare you just walk away without any guilt? I will call the police and make you spend your time in prison!"Leon discouraged him from opening the door. He stopped in his tracks and turned to Claire's parents. "I have explained what really happened, but you will never want to believe it because from the start you have hated me," he replied."Because we know a loser like you will never admit a mistake." Ariana took out her phone. "I will call the police now.""No, Ariana! Don’t do it! If you call the police, it will only damage our family's reputation.

Leon sighed."What the hell, what else did Claire want to say? I told her she could call the police if she wanted!" grunted Leon, who was sure that the person calling him was Claire.Leon grabbed his cellphone, and without looking at the screen, he immediately accepted the call."Claire, what is it?""Excuse me, Leon?" The baritone voice immediately made Leon's eyes widen. It wasn't Claire who called him, but the manager of the restaurant where he worked part time."Sir, sorry, I thought you were the other person," Leon explained."Leon, did you just wake up?"Leon nodded slowly even though the person calling him couldn't see his movements directly. "Yes sir.""Don't you remember what day it is today?""Day... oh, Saturday!" Leon rubbed his face roughly. "Yes, today is Saturday." Leon forgot he had to work o

It seemed like they wanted to move, considering the large suitcases they were moving into the car.“Jane, this way!” Leon grabbed Jane's hand and asked her to go through the back lane of the house because they didn't want Elena's parents to see them coming.“Hurry Renee! The sooner we leave, the happier we will be," said Joe, looking intently at his wife, who was moving a box into the car.Renee took a deep breath as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. “I'm so tired, Joe.

"What's the matter?" Dean responded."Mr. Rexa has just arrived, sir."Dean gasped. What's more, his father just moved to the United States a few days ago. Why did he suddenly fly to New Zealand?“He is here?”"Yes sir. He—" Before the maid had finished her words, Rexa's arrival diverted their gaze.“Father.” Dean immediately got up from his seat.“No need to be surprised. I flew here suddenly because I had business to finish," said Rexa as he poured juice into his glass and then drank it.“I've handled everything, Father. So I don't think you need to come here suddenly like this," replied Dean, crossing his arms over his stomach.Rexa was silent and did not reply to his son's words.“Then w

Leon's eyebrows knitted together, showing that he was curious about what his subordinate wanted to tell him.“We just arrived at the house that Mrs. Elena's parents rented, but they are no longer here. The home owner said they just left a few days ago.”The man's words surprised Leon. "What?" Leon got up from his seat and dropped the newspaper he was holding.“That's right, sir.

He was about to leave there, but Finley held him back.“Wait, Dean! Don't go!"“What, Uncle? I don't want to know anyone now. I just want to focus on my company," said Dean in an annoyed tone.“But this is a great opportunity. If you can marry her, our family's power will increase.” Finley kept trying to convince Dean, hoping his nephew would change his mind.Dean shook his head. “No, Uncle. I'm not interested in that.” He immediately left there without paying attention to Finley.“This is absolutely ridiculous! He tried to match me with many girls, but he himself chose not to marry. Sometimes I wonder about my own family," Dean continued to mutter as he got into his car."Dean, wait!" Finley shouted as he ran towards Dean.Dean rolled his eyes as he took a deep breath when h

    “Why do you want to move there?” Finley responded.“I want to spend the rest of my life there. I don't feel happy being here. I know that we have taken revenge on the Jensen family, but that doesn't make my life happy.” There was sadness in Rexa's eyes, and Finley could feel it.Finley gripped his brother's shoulders and stared at him fixedly. "Rexa, what happened? What makes you feel unhappy?”“There are many things, including my marriage. I don't feel happy with Juliet. I don't want to hurt her any more; that's why I will move to America without her," said Finley.“But if you move there without inviting her, she will definitely be very sad. You don't want to make her even sadder, do you?"Rexa shook her head."Therefore, if you want to move there, then you have to invite her. Does Dean know about all this?"“Dean doesn't know about this yet. This is a very sudden decision of mine, but I feel it's the right decision.”Finley released his grip on Rexa's shoulder.

Dr. Edwin swiftly helped him sit down.“Where is Michael? Where is the butler?” Leon asked with a panicked expression."Would you like to meet them, sir?"Leon nodded. "Yes, I want to meet them."Dr. Edwin turned to a nurse who was there. “Please tell Michael to come here!” he ordered."Yes, Doctor."The arrival of a nurse stopped Michael and Felix, who were chatting.

    All the employees were shocked to see Finley's arrogant attitude.

Dean grabbed Finley's hand and tried to persuade him.“Uncle, please stop this! I'm sure he doesn't know about this," implored Dean."Come on, Uncle, don't make a scene in this restaurant. This is an issue that does not need to be exaggerated.”Finley took a deep breath as he released his grip on the restaurant manager's collar.The restaurant manager immediately moved away from Finley. He looked at his master with a fearful gaze.“I'm sorry, sir.
