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
"What? 5000 dollars?" Elena covered her open mouth with her palm. She hadn't even been in Auckland for a week and hadn't found a job yet. How could they easily ask her for money?"Elena, you promised to support your grandmother. You can't escape from this responsibility. Quickly give the phone to Leon, I want to talk to him!" shouted Renee.Elena gave her cell phone to Leon with a confused expression. Just now she could breathe a sigh of relief, now she had to face similar problem. "Where can I get 5,000 dollars? And is it possible that Leon has that much money?"Leon brought Elena's cell phone to his ear and spoke in a calm voice. "What happened?""Leon, Elena's grandma needs to be taken to the hospital now. Her disease has recurred, and we need 5,000 dollars," asked Renee."I'll get the money for her, but give me time," replied Leon."Okay, you have to send the money as soon as possible before 12 PM tomorrow!" Renee ordered."Okay. I will try to get it." Call ended.Leon sighed as h
Leon stopped in his tracks and looked back. He felt that someone was following him. "It's weird, for a moment I feel like someone is following me, but there is no one there," he muttered.Elena hid behind a truck parked near a shop. She crept slowly and peeked at Leon, who was already continuing his steps."I've been following Leon for 15 minutes, but why hasn't he arrived at work yet? Is the place of work very far away?" Elena muttered.When Elena wanted to chase Leon, suddenly the man disappeared from her sight. "Hey, where did he go?" Elena scratched her head, feeling confused. She finally chose to continue walking and hoped to find Leon's traces.Unknown to Elena, Leon was hiding. He gasped when he saw Elena flash before his eyes."Elena? Why is she following me?" Leon muttered worriedly. His original plan for today was to spend time at the hotel to just lie down, and return to the apartment before 12 o'clock, but when he found out that Elena was following him, he had to change his
Leon rushed to an Italian restaurant owned by his family, where he started working today. The man stepped forward in a hurry because he woke up late. The location of the workplace is not too far, it was only about 20 minutes walk. The butler deliberately chose this restaurant because its location was quite close to Leon's apartment.Just as Leon feared, Elena followed him secretly to his place of work. But he wasn't worried because he already had a real place to work.Leon clicked his tongue as he looked at the watch wrapped around his wrist. "Oh my god, I'm late!" he muttered. Even though this restaurant was his, Leon still acted professionally like an employee.When Leon entered the restaurant through the back door, a fat man with a bulging stomach looked at him with a sharp gaze. He looked at the back of Leon's wet shirt."Are you new here?" he shouted at Leon.Leon, who had just put his bag in the locker, turned his gaze to the man. He nodded with a smile. "Yeah, I'm a new worker
Mr. Travis stepped forward and pushed Leon's chest until the man took a few steps back."Not just because Mr. Altafini made you work here, you can do whatever you want! I'm the manager here, and you've only just started working! Now I order you two to leave this restaurant! You have officially been fired!" Mr. Travis pointed at the door angrily.Leon wouldn't let someone as arrogant as Mr. Travis continue to work at his restaurant. "I'm warning you that if you don't apologize to Robert, then today will be your last day working here!" he threatened.Mr. Travis laughter screeched in their ears. The fat man continued to laugh at Leon's words, which to him were just nonsense."Mr. Altafini is very funny. Does he know that he is asking me to accept a crazy man like you? This is the first time a waiter has dared to oppose me," quipped Mr. Travis."Oh, so you think what I said was just nonsense? Well, watch out, you'll see it tomorrow!" Leon grinned."Get out of here now!" snapped Mr. Travis
