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. But I want to tell you very important news," Mickey said.

"What is the matter?"

"A waiter told me that she saw a man mix drug powder into Mrs. Claire's drink when she went to the toilet. I'm sure that man must have some bad plans for Mrs. Claire," Mickey explained.

Leon was silent for a moment. he mused. Remembering all the words and insults Claire had done to him annoyed him, but remembering that she had been a special woman in his life made Leon not let any man do bad things to his ex-wife. Leon rose from his seat. "I will look for their whereabouts. I won't let that guy do bad things to Claire!" he determined.

Leon and Mickey immediately went to where Claire and Edward were. When they got there, the two were not there. Leon looked around his surroundings as he put his hands on his hips. He noticed one by one the faces of the people there, and it was certain that his ex-wife was not there.

"Claire must have left!" complained Leon.

"Yes, Young Master. But I'm sure he hasn't been out of here long," Mickey responded.

Leon's shoulders drooped sluggishly. He was very worried about Claire's condition. Even though he and Claire didn't have any relationships anymore, Leon still wanted to make sure his ex-wife was safe.

"I have no other choice, I have to go save Claire!"

"Very well, Young Master. So today I don't need to announce your return as the heir."

"Yeah, you don't have to. There's no time left, Mickey! See you!" Leon stepped away from there.

"Be careful, Young Master! Goodluck!"

Leon came out of the building. A pair of sharp hazel eyes narrowed, watching the car that was in the parking lot. He still didn't see any sign of Claire there.

Leon sighed heavily. "Looks like that bastard man really isn't around anymore!" He clenched his fists angrily. Suddenly, a red Porsche drove in front of him. He accidentally looked towards the car window and saw Claire was in there.

"Claire!" he exclaimed. "No mistake, it must be Claire!"

Leon panicked and started to think for a moment. Then he remembered that in this building, his family must have had several spare cars he could use. He immediately contacted the butler.

"Young Master, how is it? Where are you now?" he asked.

"Mickey, I saw the car that brought Claire," he said with eyes that kept trying to pay attention to Edward's Porsche, which was now quite far from his sight. "I need a car to chase him. Quickly send a car for me!" he ordered.

"Yes, Young Master."

No need to wait for a long time, a luxury car was ready in front of Leon. The man immediately got into the driver's seat and drove the car at a fast pace. He tried to catch Edward's car. Unfortunately, Leon had lost track of the car. At an intersection, he stopped his car.

"Gosh, where did he go? I've lost track of him!"

Leon glanced around without the slightest clue emerging in his mind. "Who do you think that guy is? I saw Claire with a lot of men earlier. Could that man be Edward?" muttered Leon, wonderingly. Because it was Edward who Leon saw coming with Claire.

In the middle of Leon's daydream filled with depression, the sound of his cell phone ringing distracted him. "Mickey?"

"Mickey, what's happened?"

"Young Master, have you managed to find the car that brought Mrs. Claire?"

"Not yet. I was stopped at a crossroads, I really lost my way."

"Take it easy, Young Master. Ten minutes ago, I ordered my subordinates to trace the man's car. The Porsche car is red, right? We've checked the CCTV. They will soon find the whereabouts of the car," said Mickey.

"Nice job, Mickey! I await good news from you." Leon could barely breathe a sigh of relief. At least he still had hope of finding his ex-wife's whereabouts.

Edward glanced at Claire, who was chattering in his car. He studied Claire's face which remained beautiful even though she was not fully conscious.

"She is very beautiful! It's not in vain that I made her unconscious like this," Edward said, grinning.

"Help me, I don't want anything to do with that loser man! Why does he keep following me? He's a useless man, I'm so tired of living with him," Claire babbled.

"Claire, you're so cute when you're unconscious. I like it," Edward responded with a chuckle.

"Keep him away from me, I don't want to see his face!" Claire's hand moved to hit in any direction until it hit Edward's shoulder.

Edward frowned. "Claire, relax! You are not living with that useless man anymore." he responded. "Hmm, don't worry, dear Claire, you will be safe with me. We'll have fun together." Edward smiled slyly.

After waiting for a few minutes, Leon also got the latest information regarding Claire's whereabouts. He gasped at the information message that the man had taken Claire to a 7-star hotel in the town that still belonged to the Jensen family.

"He brought Claire to the hotel? I will break his hand if he dares to touch Claire!" Leon was very angry and immediately headed to the hotel that second.

    "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

    "Sorry, our Young Master can't meet you," said the receptionist.Claire's shoulders dropped along with her exhaled breath. Claire's eyes were sparkling. This rejection was so painful for her.

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!

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

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.

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.

    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.
