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 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. It was useless for him to explain anything to Claire's parents because they would never believe him.The moment Leon's hand touched the doorknob, Ariana shouted at him. "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
"Good morning, Young Master," said the driver as he bowed and opened the car door.Leon rushed into the car. He was on his way to his company's office. Leon's appearance looks different today, he was wearing a tuxedo suit and the most expensive watch from the Rolex brand. He no longer wore his usual cheap, non-branded clothes.Leon's return as heir shocked the workers in his company. They had prepared the best surprise for Leon's arrival."Welcome, Young Master! We are very happy for your return as CEO," shouted the employees when Leon entered a room.Leon's eyes twinkled. He didn't expect to get this sweet surprise. "Thank you very much! I'm so happy to see you all again," Leon replied while cupping his palms.He cut the cake and distributed it evenly. Leon was very humble. Especially when he felt the pain of being poor, he became more understanding of life.The Jensen family was right, Leon would be a wiser person if he had tasted the bitterness of life.After finishing celebrating
"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. "Is he really not willing to give me a chance? The termination of this partnership was so sudden, I don't even know what my company's fault was.""Sorry, Mrs. Young Master's decision is absolute," said the receptionist."Thank You."Claire stepped away from there with great disappointment. She really didn't know what to do there. She walked to the parking lot with a blank stare. Claire's tears spilled out when she got there. The woman sat down in despair, crying."What should I do? What will happen to my company if I don't work with this company?"Without Claire noticing, Leon saw her from a distance. The man took off his suit and the luxurious watch he was wearing. He was only wearing a white shirt and black pants. Seeing Claire crying, Leon felt pity. If only that woman was still his wife, Leon
Arriving at her house, Claire was greeted by her mother, who had been waiting for her since earlier. Ariana wrapped her arms around Claire as her daughter walked into the house."Honey, I'm sure everything will be fine. I know you must bring good news," said Ariana, thinking positively.Claire sighed. Unfortunately, I don't have good news. I'm really confused, the CEO of that company doesn't want to meet me." She let go of her mother's embrace and walked towards the couch. Claire sat up limply. Since this morning, she has not even eaten a single bite of food. She seemed to have lost her appetite."Claire, dear, hasn't Edward talked to him about reconsidering that decision?" Ariana asked.Claire sighed softly. "Forget it, Mom. I'm not sure Edward actually did it. I can't even call him."Ariana sat down limply. What happens to her daughter's career will greatly affect her life. She would lose all this luxurious life if Claire went bankrupt.Even though the Weber family came from a low-m
