Renee took Elena's hand and led her into the house. Meanwhile, Leon was still waiting outside."Tell me, who is that man?" Renee asked while looking at Elena sharply. She grabbed Elena's wrist."Hmm..." Elena looked hesitant to answer her mother's question. But seeing her daughter, who was blushing, Renee could guess it."How dare you date a poor man? I told you a long time ago to only date rich men! That's the only thing that can change your life! Don't you wish you could get out of the forest?" Renee cursed at her daughter."Of course I want to get out of the forest, so I will go to the city and look for work there. "I'm sure I'll be fine with him," said Elena.Renee snorted. "Elena, Elena. If you lived in a city with a man working as a waiter in a restaurant, do you think you would be happy? It's even possible that your life will be much worse than in the forest!"Elena shook off the grip of her mother's hand. "Stop insulting him, Mother! I can feel he is a good man, even much bette
After arriving in Auckland, Leon and Elena went straight to their apartment. One day earlier, Leon asked the Jensen family's butler to find a common apartment for him, and he also told his entire family to hide Leon's true identity from Elena. He just wanted to see Elena love him for who he was, not for his wealth. Even more so after he saw how greedy Elena's family was.Leon unlocked Elena's apartment, and the woman immediately entered the room excitedly. "I like this room!" Elena exclaimed.Leon would also live in the apartment, but they wouldn't live in the same room. Leon's room was right next to Elena's."I'm so glad you like it," Leon said.Elena walked over to the bed and lay down there. She was very moved to feel a soft bed because, before, she only lived in a hut. Even this room was wider than the hut."Elena, you can take a rest. You must be so tired."Elena rose from her bed. "What about my job? I want to work soon. Can you help me apply for a job?" she asked.Leon nodded.
Hello, I'm Limeberry Author. The first, I'd like to say thank you to my loyal readers who still follow the journey of Leon. I'm sorry about my imperfect chapters that maybe aren't good but I'll always try my best. I've edited chapters 87-94. If you still can't see the changes, you can remove this book from your library, and then add it again. And the second, about the location country in this story. I've mentioned England once, but now I changed it to New Zealand for some reason. Thank you so much for reading this note, I promise I'll bring the better chapters for you. Love Limeberry
"Tell me, who is that woman? Why was she talking to you like that?" asked Elena, eyeing Leon curiously."She is Claire, my ex-wife. She left me because I couldn't give her what she wanted. As you know, I'm just a poor man," explained Leon. He spoke frankly to Elena."And what did she get after leaving you? Does she earn a lot of money? I don't think poverty is a reason to leave a man," responded Elena."If you want to leave me because I'm poor, you can do that too."Hearing Leon's words, Elena held the man's hand tightly. She looked at Leon with a sharp gaze, not wanting to hear those words come out of his mouth again."What are you talking about? I will not leave you just because of your poverty. We can work together," Elena whispered."I'm so lucky to have you, Elena." Leon's eyes filled with tears as he looked at Elena. He promised that one day he would give her the best life after revealing his true identity. Currently, Leon would continue to hide his identity.Arriving at his apar
Max immediately approached Edward and helped his cousin. "Are you all right, Edward?" Max asked.Instead of accepting his cousin's help, Edward took his hand off Max. He stood up and looked at Leon with a look full of courage. What's more, his opponent was only Leon, whom he considered a useless guy."How dare I? Who do you think you are?" Edward challenged Leon. "She already broke my glasses, and I only made her an offer to sleep with me if she couldn't replace it with money. Is it wrong? You're acting like a hero here, but everyone knows that you're just a loser!"Leon's hands clenched tightly when he heard Edward's words. How dare that man want to ask Elena to sleep with him? Leon's eyes darkened, and his jaw tightened with veins bulging there.Leon moved forward and pulled Edward right by the collar of his shirt. He looked at Edward with a deadly gaze."I warn you that she is my girlfriend! I was patient enough when you took Claire from me, but this time I will really kill you if
Leon sighed. He touched Elena's hand, which was on his face. "When I was on the way home, there were five big men who suddenly beat me. They said that it was payback for me for making Edward injured," he explained."I shouldn't have left you alone last night. I'm sorry, Leon.""I should be the one apologizing, I scared you. But believe me, I know that bastard. He really deserved it." Leon hoped Elena could understand the situation."I would have been really worried about you if you had stayed with me last night." Leon smiled bitterly. He was still grateful because he could breathe until this moment. It felt like Leon's life was really on the line when the Lackner family bodyguards beat him mercilessly.Leon was very lucky because a taxi driver helped him and treated him well. The man even refused to allow Leon to pay for his services. But Leon still paid for it."I understand Leon. Now I will make breakfast for you. You can rest, you're still weak."Leon could smile with relief now. O
Leon gasped when he read the letter of demand from the Lackner family. They made two choices for Leon: to spend at least 3 years in prison or pay a fine of 200,000 dollars. Elena was also in the investigation room to accompany Leon, but she didn't sit next to him.Seeing Leon's stunned expression, Elena asked him. "Leon, what happened?"Instead of Leon answering, the police took over Elena's questions. "The Lackner family is suing Mr. Leon for what he did to Mr. Edward Lackner. He was asked to compensate losses of 200,000 dollars, or a minimum prison sentence of 3 years," he answered.Elena was shocked to hear these demands. "Paying 200,000 dollars?""Leon, what should we do?" Elena looked at Leon with a confused look. She felt like she had no other choice but to let her man languish in prison.Leon met Elena's gaze with a faint smile. His eyes didn't convey anything.The Lackner family deliberately made this demand because they believed Leon would not be able to pay it. Max and Wilhel
Wilhelm and Max gasped when they saw the cash box containing 200,000 dollars worth of money that Mickey was holding. They couldn't believe that the old man had come to help Leon."Mr. Altafini, I don't know why you would help a loser like him? He even beat up my cousin, he doesn't deserve help from anyone!" Max shouted in defiance.Mickey snorted. "Loser? Are you calling Leon a loser? I'm warning you that I already consider Leon my own son. If anyone deals with Leon, then they will also deal with me!" The old man smiled grinningly."Sir, I—" Max stopped when Wilhelm held his hand and whispered to him."Max, you can argue with anyone, but this time I beg you never to argue with people from the Jensen family!" Wilhelm glared at his nephew, giving him a warning.Max pondered, then spoke quietly to Wilhelm. "But he's just a butler, he's not a member of the Jensen family," he replied."Do you know the Jensen family's requirements for becoming their butler? They are very selective, and of c
