008. Distort Facts

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 patted Claire's cheek, but she still didn't wake up.

Edward rises from the fall. He held his cheek and looked at Leon who had taken Claire away from him. "Guards, arrest that man! He suddenly came and hit me!" Edward command.

The guards caught Leon and kept him away from Claire. Leon and Edward exchanged a sharp look. Full of revenge. Leon didn't want to waste his time serving a depraved man like Edward.

"Let me go!" Leon snapped, which made the guard let go of his hand. He took a deep breath and tried to finish this with a cool head. Leon decided to contact the butler.

"Mickey, come here quickly! There's a mess in here, and I need your help. Guards detained me," Leon ordered.

Edward eyed Leon questioningly. He didn't expect Leon to come after him to the hotel to save Claire. "Claire's right, he's always following Claire. Now he even dissuades me from having fun. How dare that loser man!" he thought.

Edward folded his arms across his stomach. He looked down on Leon. "I wonder what he's going to do?"

Not long after, the hotel manager came in a panic. "Gosh, what did they do to young master?" He ran towards the receptionist where the guards surrounded Leon.

"Let him go!" shouted the hotel manager. The guards instantly moved away from Leon. "Are you guys crazy? You guys don't know who he is, he is the Young Master of the Jensen family. I can send you to jail if you dare touch him!"

Hearing the words of the hotel manager, everyone was shocked. They looked at Leon with fear.

"Young Master, I deeply apologize for this mess. I promise this will never happen to you again," said the hotel manager, cupping his palms. He lowered his head in worry because if Leon didn't forgive him, his career would surely be destroyed at that instant.

Seeing that, Edward was also worried. It turns out he wasn't dealing with an ordinary person. During that short time, Edward used it to quickly escape from there.

"I have to teach that man a lesson!" Only when Leon averted his gaze, Edward no longer there. Leon didn't want to chase after Edward to teach him a lesson because that wasn't his main goal.

Leon approached Claire, who was still unconscious and took her ex-wife to the hospital.

"Claire, thank goodness I made it in time. Or else that bastard will definitely do bad things to you," Leon said while looking at Claire who was lying on the hospital bed. Leon wanted to touch Claire's cold hands, but he immediately discouraged him because he and Claire didn't have any relationship now.

"I can't be here all the time to accompany her. I'd better call her parents." Leon took his phone and was about to call his ex-in-law, but before he could call, the arrival of Claire's parents surprised him.

"Claire!" cried Ariana Weber, hysterically seeing her daughter.

"Claire my daughter, what happened to you?" Claire's father—Thomas Weber, was also there.

Leon stepped aside to give way to Claire's parents to see how their daughter was doing. Leon was surprised to see Claire's parents arrive before he even called them. How could they know that Claire was in the hospital.

Thomas and Ariana exchanged glances, then their gazes shifted to Leon. They stared at Leon hatefully. "We will call the police to take you to prison!" she exclaimed.

Leon frowned. "Take me to the prison? What do you mean?"

"You don't have to dodge, we know that it was you who made Claire like this!" added Thomas.

Unknown to Leon, there was communication between Edward and Claire's parents, which distorted the facts. Edward contacted Claire's parents and told them what happened to Claire with his version.

"I've tried to save Claire, but unfortunately, I didn't succeed. The man had mixed drugs in Claire's drink and knocked her unconscious. I'm sure he's planning bad things for Claire, "explained Edward.

Ariana covered her mouth which was open in shock. "Really? He's already divorced from Claire. He must really not want a divorce from Claire, that's why he did bad things to my daughter."

"You have to pick up Claire soon, or else the man will carry out his plan."

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Edward. If you don't tell us, I don't know what will happen to my daughter."

Edward grinned at Claire's mother words. In an instant, he could twist the facts and make himself safe. Now there was nothing for him to worry about.

Leon was still arguing with Claire's parents. The atmosphere was getting hotter.

"Are you not satisfied to see my daughter Claire, who always suffers when she becomes your wife? She even fought hard alone just to change her life. And now you suddenly want to rape her!" cursed Ariana.

"I never wanted to rape Claire! You misunderstood," Leon evaded. His heart ached to hear the various insults aimed at him. They looked at Leon as if he were the most useless and depraved man in the world.

Leon remembered that since the beginning, Claire's parents had always looked down on him and didn't want their daughter to marry him. In the midst of Claire's parents who continued blame, Leon decided to leave.
