2024-10-29 19:42:56"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 believe that Claire likes to see me being looked down upon like that!' Leon kept grumbling in his heart.
Leon only wanted true, sincere love, not love based on wealth and material things. Seeing Leon, who was silent, Claire got up from her seat. She sighed as she glanced at Leon in disgust. "Leon, why are you just silent? That means what I said is true, right?"
"My silence doesn't mean it's true. You just don't get it, Claire!" replied Leon.
Claire chuckled. "Don't get it? What is it that I don't get it?" she teased.
"I don't want to talk about it!" Leon insisted. It was useless to talk to Claire because she had changed.
“Okay, Leon, I also want you to understand something about me now," Claire asked.
Leon wrinkled his forehead. "What is it?"
"From now on, don't even think about following me again! Remember, we are divorced, and our world is different too. What exactly do you expect from me by continuing to follow you? It won't make me want to be your wife, so stop wishing!" protested Claire as she pointed her index finger at Leon.
"I never really followed you, Claire! Don't ever think that I'm following you! Why couldn't I be invited to this party?" Leon dodged.
Even if he came to this party to avoid his ex-wife, how could Claire keep accusing him of following her? If Leon had known that he would meet Claire here, he definitely would not have come to this party.
Claire was really disappointed, "Sorry Leon, I never thought that the divorce would upset you so badly. But you need to be clear that even if we're divorced, you could still find a job and a common woman, enjoy your own life. We're not in the same world now."
Leon wanted to explain why he could be at the party, but there was no way he would. He still hides his true identity so he can see any arrogant people who look down on him.
"I hope today is the last day we meet!" Claire sighed in annoyance. "Don't ever follow me again, or I will report you to the police!" she threatened.
Leon tried to look calm, even though he was really emotional when he heard that Claire kept insulting him. Those dark hazel eyes were a sign that Leon's anger was gathering there. His hands clenched tightly with emotion. Without saying another word, Claire hurriedly left from there.
Leon stared at Claire's back, which was now getting further away from his sight. "I didn't expect that the woman I love so much wasn't a sincere woman. She is just a utilitarian woman," Leon muttered. He felt sorry for himself. So all this time, he has not found his true love.
At that moment, Leon's phone rang. He immediately received the call.
"Goodnight, Young Master. Sorry for bothering you," said the general manager.
"Yeah, no problem," Leon replied.
"Young Master, I heard that you have returned to being the heir? Congratulations, Young Master, I am very proud of you. I always believe that you can do it. You are great!" praised the general manager congratulating him.
A smile appeared on Leon's lips. At least he still got praise and recognition from others that he was not a loser like Claire told him. He felt his efforts were not in vain. There were still many people who can appreciate it.
"Thank you very much!" replied Leon. "By the way, how is the state of the company now?" he asked.
"Everything is going well, Young Master. But there is something. It's just that cooperation with your wife's company is not profitable, "explained the general manager.
Leon pondered. Of course, cooperation with Claire's company was unprofitable because he ordered his company to provide the best discount for Claire.
If it wasn't to make Claire happy, Leon wouldn't have done it. He just wanted Claire to be happy and proud, but now it ended with her constantly insulting and belittling him. How ridiculuous! Claire's company would find it difficult to develop without Leon's help.
"Yes, of course. I always told you to give her the best discount. It's no wonder that cooperation with Claire's company is not profitable," Leon responded.
"Yes, Young Master. I know that this is the best decision from you."
"Actually, this is not the best decision." Leon took a deep breath. He began to think about the continuation of this collaboration.
"Anyway, these two companies will soon become assets of the Jensen family," explained the general manager.
But Leon just replied calmly, "Assets of Jensen's family? I don't think so. We don't really need such a small company in our family."
The manager was cought off guard at first, but soon he understood Leon's mean.

Please stop cooperating," Leon ordered."Very well, Young Master. As you wish." In a different corner of the ballroom, Claire was partying with some businessmen. She smiled very kindly at them because she knew this could be a good opportunity for her to broaden her company's connections. 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.

"Oh my God, I can't believe this." Claire ended the call with trembling hands. What she just heard was like a nightmare for her. The businessmen beside Claire exchanged glances. Those who originally wanted to cooperate with Claire's company were now hesitant."Mrs. Claire, it seems I have business at this time. My business partner is here and wants to discuss something serious with me, I have to go," said Noah."Me too, I have important things to do now," said David.The two men immediately left from there avoiding Claire. They knew that without the cooperation of Jens Creative Enterprise, Claire's company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Mickey prepared to introduce Leon to the party guests. Suddenly, a waiter came to him in a hurry."Sir, there is something important I would like to tell you," said the waiter with a serious expression.Mickey frowned. 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!" He gently patte

Leon's shoulders drooped limply along with his heavy breathing.

"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. Remember, Claire has struggled to become a successful businesswoman like she is now. Negative news like this will only destroy our daughter's image." Thomas prevented his wife.Leon chose to leave th

The next day, on a cold and calm morning, suddenly Leon's cell phone rings, disrupting his peaceful sleep. Leon's eyes opened slightly, and he glanced at the table beside his bed. 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

Bella fell silent. She stared at Leon with an unreadable gaze. Meanwhile, Edward smiled with satisfaction at seeing Leon, whom he humiliated again. For Edward, he only spoke facts about Leon. He never felt guilty about it."All right, what would you like to order?" Leon asked. He decided to divert the tense atmosphere in the room by refocusing on what he was doing."I'd like a salmon en papilotte, and give me some unsweetened watermelon juice," Bella ordered."Give me the most expensive food and drink in this book," Edward ordered arrogantly.Leon sighed. "Is there anything else?""I think no," Bella responded."Okay." Leon immediately left from there.Today was the worst weekend for Leon. While working here, he had never experienced something annoying like this. "He really went too far. Just wait until the time comes, and I will reveal what he has done!" Leon's resolve.Leon delivered their order. When he entered the VIP room, he accidentally saw Edward and Bella holding hands. Then

"Leon, we hold you responsible for everything you've done," said the restaurant manager in his room. The restaurant manager asked Leon to come into his room and handed the man a letter of compensation agreement. Leon read the agreement letter at a glance and immediately signed it. "So what do you choose? Will you work here for a full year without pay or make up for all losses with money?" asked the restaurant manager. He could already guess that a poor man like Leon would prefer to work for a year without a salary rather than having to compensate with money. Of course, he was sure that Leon could not possibly have that kind of money. "I will make up for the loss with money. This is my last day working here," Leon answered. The restaurant manager chuckled at Leon's answer. "You must be kidding. Leon, that's 70,000 dollars. Where did you get that kind of money?" The response was mocking. "I'm not kidding, I'm serious! I can replace all losses with money," said Leon with a serious ex

When they got there, they saw, from a distance, Elena's parents, who were busy moving their belongings into a car.“Leon, are they Elena's parents?” Jane asked."Yes, they are Elena's parents."Jane frowned at them. 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!

He got a call from his subordinate.“Good afternoon, young master. There is something we want to tell you.”"What is that?" 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.

“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.

All the employees were shocked to see Finley's arrogant attitude. The restaurant was a restaurant that had been open for less than a year, so it was still a new restaurant, so they didn't know that the Romano family was so sensitive towards the Jensen family."Sir, please forgive me," said the restaurant manager while trying to free Finley's grip.Finley glared at the man, and his grip even tightened. 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.
