Leon was in the dining room having breakfast. He took a piece of bread and spread peanut butter on it. A maid poured tea for him, and while lowering her head, she spoke to her master, "Young Master, there is someone who wants to meet you now.""Who's he?" Leon responded."He didn't tell his name, it's just that he said that he is your confidant," explained the maid."Let him meet me!" Leon ordered.The man stepped into the dining room. Leon looked at him, and the big man smiled at his master. It hasn't been three days, according to the agreement with Claire, but Leon's confidant already wants to meet him.He stood by the table and bowed his body to Leon. "Good morning, Young Master. I came here to inform you about Mrs. Claire's decision. She agreed to accept your offer."The series of words that came out of the man's mouth made Leon, who was eating his bread, choke. He grabbed the glass of water in front of him and drank it quickly. Leon's breath panted, and he looked at the man with
"So you came here to sleep with me, huh?"A man stood up from the couch, facing the window. The man was wearing a black suit. In his mouth was a cigarette.Claire's feet moved backward until her body was pressed against the wall. As the man drew closer, Claire could see that he was wearing a mask that covered the upper area of his face."I came here according to your orders," said Claire in a trembling voice."So you really want to sleep with me?" asked Leon while chuckling."What do you think?"Leon moved closer to Claire until he was now standing right in front of her. He looked at Claire and blew his cigarette smoke in his ex-wife's face. Claire closed her eyes and averted her eyes from Leon."So you came here to exchange your pride for money?" The string of words that spilled out of Leon's mouth made Claire furious.The woman wanted to slap Leon's face, but Leon swiftly blocked her hand."Watch out your mouth!" screamed Claire as she glared at Leon. Those ocean blue eyes turned da
"And yet, who are you?" Instead of answering Jessica's question, Jasmine asked it back to her."My name is Jessica, I'm Leon's cousin," answered Jessica."Oh, nice to meet you, Jessica! I'm Jasmine, and she is my assistant, Claudia. I am Leon's friend."Jessica smiled while watching Jasmine. "Friend? Are you sure?" she teased.Jasmine blushed at Jessica's words, but she brushed it off. "Of course, Leon and I are just friends.""If he's back, how about we go out together? That must be very fun," said Jessica."Of course."Jessica took her cell phone from her bag. She handed her phone to Jasmine. "Give me your number, I'll call you if we're going out together.""Okay, Jessica." Jasmine wrote down her number on Leon's cousin's cell phone."Thank you.""I've gotta go. I have work to finish. See you, Jessica.""See you, Jasmine."Jasmine and her assistant got into the car. As the car drove away from Leon's house, Claudia started flirting with Jasmine."Thank goodness it turns out she's jus
Leon took a deep breath. In the photo, a teenage Leon is seen taking a photo with a brunette girl. They smiled and looked very happy. Leon's appearance looked different from now. He looked like a strange, nerdy boy with oddly square-framed glasses. Now, Leon looked like a Greek god, his defined jawline, sharp hunter eyes, and muscular body reflecting the hours spent in the gym. His appearance has changed.Leon attended an elite high school, where his friends also came from wealthy and prominent families. Young Leon was a very introverted person. He loved solitude, and his only girlfriend was his book.One day, he had a crush on his classmate, Anastasia Braun. Anastasia was the prettiest girl in school. She was always a leader in school events, such as the leader of the cheerleading team, a vocalist in the school band, and a lead actor in the theater. She was always the center of attention.On that day, when Leon was in his last year of high school, he decided to confess his love to An
The next day, Leon came to school with no enthusiasm. He had been looking gloomy since coming home from school yesterday. Leon felt like he wanted to leave there, but he wouldn't because he wouldn't miss class.Leon walked with his head down through the school corridor. As he passed, almost all eyes were on him."Did you hear that the nerd Jensen confessed his feelings for Anastasia?""Is it true? I really had no idea about it.""How could he have the courage to confess his love to a girl like Anastasia?""I, who am not as beautiful as Anastasia, even don't want to be with him!"Leon glanced at the girls who were gathering and talking about him. He heard their conversation, but Leon tried to ignore it."Don't listen to them, Leon!" muttered Leon, talking to himself. He continued on.As Leon was about to enter his classroom, one of his classmates greeted him."Hi Leon, have you seen the latest news about you and Anastasia on the school wall magazine?"The boy's question made Leon avert
Leon was at the dinner table with his parents. Belinda glanced at Leon and noticed that her son looked gloomy and reluctant to finish his food. He also tended to be quiet and did not interact actively with his parents. Belinda immediately thought that something must be wrong with Leon."Leon, are you okay?" asked Belinda in a soft voice.Leon glanced at his mother. Shaking his head, he replied, "I'm okay, Mom."Belinda rose from her seat and approached her son. He put his arm around Leon's shoulder. "I know you, you are not okay. Just tell me, dear, what happened?""Nothing, Mom."With a stern expression, William was observing his son. He saw some light wounds on Leon's hand."Why is your hand injured?" William's baritone voice immediately made Leon's eyes turn to him."It hurt because of the shards from my glasses, Dad," Leon replied. "Because shards of glasses?" William raised an eyebrow. He felt Leon's answer sounded odd."Yes," said Leon briefly, nodding. "Okay, I'm full. I want
Leon took a deep breath. He laid down on the couch while looking at the photo. He thought the photo had disappeared, but it turned out that the photo was still tucked away in many piles of clothes. "Anastasia Braun, maybe you still remember me?" muttered Leon. "Wait!" He realized that Anastasia and Jasmine had the same last name. "Braun? Is it possible that Anastasia is still in the same family as Jasmine?" he thought. Leon took out his cell phone and immediately messaged the butler for help. "Mickey, get some information on Anastasia Braun!" A knock on the door caught Leon's attention. He reflexively hides the photo. "Leon, are you asleep, dear?" Belinda's gentle voice came from behind the door. Leon got up from the couch and opened the door for his mother. "What's wrong, Mom?" "Are you angry with me? I feel guilty for asking about Jasmine," Belinda asked. Leon chuckled. "That's fine, Mom. I'm not angry. She's just my friend, I don't have a special relationship with her." "D
Silence enveloped the car. There was only the sound of speeding cars and the traffic of vehicles around them. There were no warm conversations or jokes between them. The atmosphere was so tense.Jessica looked at Leon and Jasmine in turn. She sighed. "Why are you guys quiet?" she said."What do you want? We're almost at the mall. After that, you can shop for what you want," Leon replied."You're going shopping with me, right?" Jessica asked."No!" Leon and Jasmine answered simultaneously."I'm not in the mood to buy anything. I'll be waiting for you," said Leon."Okay."Arriving at the mall, Leon chose to sit down rather than have to follow Jessica wherever she went. Jasmine also did the same thing. They sat on a bench at a distance."Why don't you come with Jessica? I think women really like shopping," Leon asked, breaking the awkward atmosphere between them."Well, I don't really like shopping. I only shop when I need it," Jasmine replied."This is quite surprising. I thought the da
Leon and Jane come to Havelock to meet Elena's parents. 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! The sooner we leave, the happier we will be," said Joe, looking intently at his wife, who was moving a box into the car.Renee took a deep breath as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. “I'm so tired, Joe. Are you sure to leave here?” She looked at her house with teary eyes. “This house holds a lot of memories.”“If we don't leave soon, then we'll still be dealing with Leon. I want to live in peace, especially since we already have a lot of money an
Dean was at his parents' house. Because his parents decided to live in the United States, the house was his. He was at the dining table, enjoying his breakfast.While he was spreading peanut butter on his bread, a maid suddenly came to him."Good morning, master," said the maid with a little bow. "What's the matter?" Dean responded."Mr. Rexa has just arrived, sir."Dean gasped. What's more, his father just moved to the United States a few days ago. 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
“Belinda, what happened?” William approached Belinda, and Dean moved away from her.William stared sharply at Dean, as if suspicious of him.“There's a group of men with guns, sir. We don't know who they are, but suddenly they came into this room and shot Mrs. Belinda," explained one of Belinda's assistants. William's gaze turned towards her.“That's right, sir,” another assistant chimed in.William was silent for a moment. Seeing that no one else had been shot made him believe that the group of men wanted to attack his family.“Quickly take Belinda to the hospital! She must get medical help before it's too late," William ordered his subordinates. They immediately took Belinda away from there.The police came out of the room to immediately find out the whereabouts of the group of men. Everyone left the room, except William and Dean.Dean stepped forward, and when he reached the doorway, William spoke to him."Aren't you the son of Rexa Romano? What are you doing here?" William asked D
The sound of the cell phone ringing distracted Leon's gaze. The man immediately took his cell phone from his pocket and accepted the call. 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. Didn't they tell you they were leaving?”“No, they didn't say anything. Quickly find out why they suddenly left there. I'm sure they must be hiding something.”"Yes sir."Call ended.Leon immediately checked Elena's parents' number and tried to contact them. The number could be contacted, but Elena's parents did not receive the call.***Dean was sitti
“Who is her father? Have I ever met him?” Dean's brows furrowed even more when he heard his uncle's words."He was at the same event with you; you just didn't realize it," Finley replied.Dean took a deep breath. 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. Sometimes I wonder about my own family," Dean continued to mutter as he got into his car."Dean, wait!" Finley shouted as he ran towards Dean.Dean rolled his eyes as he took a deep breath when h
"So you will stay here?" Rexa looked at Dean with a cold gaze.Dean nodded. “Yes, Father. I will still be here. I also prefer to be in New Zealand instead of another country."Rexa's gaze turned to Juliet. "Even if Dean doesn't go along with us, we will still move there," he said in a tone that didn't want to be rejected."Okay, I'll go with you." Juliet agreed to her husband's decision.Rexa took his cell phone and asked his assistant to arrange his move to the United States. Because Dean didn't move there, Rexa handed over all responsibility to his son. What's more, Dean was the heir of the Romano family. Rexa and Juliet will move to the United States next week.***Today Leon was allowed to go home. But up to this moment, Elena still hasn't woken up from her coma. Leon came to Elena's room to see his wife. The woman was lying with her face looking beautiful."It's been almost 2 weeks since Mrs. Elena has been in a coma, young master," said Michael, who was standing next to Leon.Le
“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. He took a deep breath
“Dr. Edwin, look, he's awake," said a nurse in a low voice when she saw Leon open his eyes.Dr. Edwin immediately turned around to see Leon. He smiled in relief, seeing the man finally come to his senses.“Mr. Leon, thank goodness you're awake," said Dr. Edwin.Leon glanced around, and he tried to sit. Dr. Edwin swiftly helped him sit down.“Where is Michael? Where is the butler?” Leon asked with a panicked expression."Would you like to meet them, sir?"Leon nodded. "Yes, I want to meet them."Dr. Edwin turned to a nurse who was there. “Please tell Michael to come here!” he ordered."Yes, Doctor."The arrival of a nurse stopped Michael and Felix, who were chatting. Their gazes immediately fell on the nurse.“Mr. Leon is awake. He asked you to come to see him," said the nurse.Michael nodded. He immediately entered the room and left Felix alone in the waiting chair."Young master, I'm so happy to see that you are awake," said Michael with a smile.With his condition still weak, Leon w
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. He looked at his master with a fearful gaze.“I'm sorry, sir. I don't know at all if your family doesn't like hearing that family name," said the restaurant manager as he cupped his hands.Of course, they
