"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.

    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

    The restaurant employees were talking about the news that Mr. Travis had been suddenly fired after working for 5 years as manager. They knew that yesterday the man had scolded Robert and a new employee."It's really surprising, but I'm so happy!""I'm grateful he's been fired. That man is so bad."While they were busy chatting, the arrival of Leon and Robert caught their attention."That's the new waiter!" They looked at Leon with frowning foreheads. There were many questions they wanted to ask him."Good morning," greeted Leon with a smile."Good morning. Do you know what happened to Mr. Travis yesterday? He's been fired," asked Brandon, who was the supervisor."I don't know much about him, he was fired because of his own actions," answered Leon while shrugging his shoulders. He had also talked to Robert to hide several facts about Leon, such as the fact that Leon could immediately work here with the help of Mr. Altafini. Leon would still continue to hide his identity."But this is re

    Denis snorted. "Oh, so now you're defending the waiter more than me?" he exclaimed."Denis, I'm tired of all this! You always accuse me!" replied Lady Sofia. "Why do you always suspect me? Why can't you just trust me for once?" The woman's voice sounded hoarse.Brandon came there and asked Leon to leave. He didn't want Leon to get into big trouble. Even though Leon had left, his gaze did not move from them. He was afraid that Denis would do something that could endanger his assistant."I just found out that Sofia's fiance is not a sane man," Leon muttered.Leon's departure didn't mean their fight ended. Denis, who was furious with his fiancee, threw a glass of water on the table into Lady Sofia's face."Sofia!" Leon felt like he can't focus on work.Lady Sofia looked at Denis with a frantic look. Her eyes were red from crying. "Denis, thank you for all this!" She stepped away from there that very second."Wait, Sofia!" Denis chased Lady Sofia and managed to grab her hand, but Lady Sof

Stop insulting me! I'm not as bad as you think." Leon looked at Claire with a firm gaze."Okay, I just want to see how long she wants to be with you." Claire snorted and left.Leon watched Claire leave while taking a deep breath. Elena looked at him, she didn't want a sad expression on her man's face."Please, Leon, don't listen to her. I promise to always stay by your side. She only talks about herself, while I never think like that," said Elena while inserting a reassuring smile between the corners of her lips.With sparkling eyes, Leon smiled at her. "Thank you, Elena.

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.

    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?"

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

    “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.

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.

    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
