The Crown Heir of the Jensen Family

003. An Useless Man

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 to help you as long as you kneel at my feet!" Edward cried.

Leon sneered, he didn't answer Edward, but said to Claire with a disappointing voice, "This is the man you chose, Claire?"

“He’s not my man, Leon.” Claire said, she came here only because Edward told her that the host of the party was really powerful. They may make her business a step forward.

“So, you’re just seeing him insulting me?”Leon said.

Claire frowned, she said, “Edward is trying to help, Leon. I know now you had no steady job, maybe working here is a good choice for you. That’s why you’re here, isn’t it?”

Leon laughed, “Work here? Claire, you always looked down upon me, why can’t I be invited to this party?”

However, Edward laughed out of loud. “This was the best joke I’ve ever heard, a pathetic loser is invited to the party of Family Jensen?”

Edward made a cold smile to Leon, “Do you know who are you talking about? It’s Jensen family, if they wanted you to disappear in this city, you would never be alive after this night. They would invite you?”

Leon smiled, “Family Jensen? I do hear of them...”

“Then where’s your invitation? If you got one, I would ran with my shirt off around this building! ”Edward said coldly.

“Invitation? It will come soon.” Leon said calmly, he dialed Mickey’s number.

“Hello Mickey, it seems that someone wanted to ran around the building with the shirt off, I want you to watch it with me, together.”

Edward mocked. "Ouch, you pretended so nicely. Mickey? You mean Mr. Michelangelo Altafini? He is the butler of Jensen family, how dare you..."

Before Edward could finish his sentence, he saw an old man walked out from the building.

“What? Mr. Altafini?” Edward was shocked, it was impossible!

When the first time Mickey received Leon’s call, he remembered that he didn’t tell the doorman that Leon doesn’t need an invitation. He felt terrified, because of his carelessness, his young master was blocked.

When he arrived, he was going to apologize to Leon, “Young...”

But he saw Leon’s eyes, he shook his head hinting him not to reveal his real identity.

“Young man, I forgot your invitation, so just come with me.” Mickey changed the words. And he looked at Claire and Edward, his face was cold.

“I know you’re invited, but just remember don’t make trouble here. Otherwise....”

Edward forced a flattery smile, “Yes Mr. Altafini, we would never make trouble in Jensen’s place...it’s all misunderstanding.”

“Hey, you still need to run around the building with your shirt off, remember?” Leon smiled.

Edward’s face turned red, he was so angry but since Mickey was here too, he didn’t dare to say anything.

“Well, anyway they won’t allow you to do that, but...just take the lesson.” Leon laughed.

Claire felt mixed feelings. Is this the Leon she knew? Why he seems to be familiar with Mr.Altafini?

Seeing them leave, Edward shifted his gaze to Claire. "Come on, Claire, we have to go!" he asked. Claire nodded and placed her hand between the man's arm.

“Don’t worry, I think Leon must know Mr. Altafini by accident, otherwise he would give him an invitation...” Edward explained to Claire.

She nodded, that make sense, because if Leon knew Mickey earlier, he would surely tell her.

Leon entered the ballroom and the butler walked behind him to check if Leon needed anything. Leon looked around the room, his eyes slightly dreamy.

"Excuse me, Young Master... do you still want us to announce your identity at this party? I don’t know your...is here too." asked the butler.

Leon shook his head. "Not now. I don't want her to know my true identity."

"Very well, Young Master. Is there perhaps anything I can do for you?"

"There isn't any. You can go, Mickey!"

"Okay, I'm leaving." The butler bowed to Leon and then left.

Leon took a step while exploring which corner of the ballroom was right for him. Until he finally found the right place and sat there. He tried to forget the unpleasant incident he had experienced by enjoying the party, but just a few minutes into sitting there, he heard the familiar voice of a woman around there.

Leon turned his head and saw that the woman was his ex-wife. Claire also noticed Leon's presence there. She was very surprised to see Leon enter the ballroom, even her surprise was greater than when she saw Leon at the entrance. Claire paid attention to her surroundings, and when she felt safe, she immediately rushed to Leon. She really wanted to know why Leon could enter the party.

"Leon, Mr. Altafini left?" she exclaimed.

Leon snorted. "You don't need to know." he said, shrugging.

"Leon, this is very dangerous! You never knew that the wealthy family that hosts this party is so influential. They have power! People like you are so easy for them to jail!" she said.

“You may know the butler, but he’s not the host of Jensen family. If you want to find a job, he is the better choice than Edward, but I don’t want you to use his favour to join the party only for your vanity!”

Leon laughed at Claire's words. "The vanity? That’s how you think of me, Claire?”

"Leon, I’m not kidding! I know that you are a useless man, but at least don't ever waste your time on me anymore."

Hearing Claire call him a useless man again made Leon's heart ache.

"I'm following you. I will explain what actually happened to you. What Edward did was just to insult me, he didn't want to help me. He—" Before Leon could finish speaking, Claire cut him off.

"Leon, you don't have to dodge like that! I know exactly how you are. Seeing your situation like this, it's only fitting that Edward wants to help you. He just wants you to be a real man, not some useless person like this. Edward is so hardworking and has many achievements, unlike you. You won't even help my business!" Claire folded her arms over her stomach while rolling her eyes in annoyance.

Leon snorted in annoyance. Claire doesn't even know what Leon has done to make her company successful. "Oh, so this is the reason you chose to date that guy?" Leon stared at Claire intently, watching his ex-wife's face.

"Is it because of him that you finally chose to divorce me?" he continued.
