Edward looked at the items Leon had chosen and laughed at him. “Do you want to give those things to your new girlfriend? You must be afraid she'll leave you like Claire did," he teased.“Shut up!” Leon snapped. “You don't even know anything about my life!” he continued."Don't know anything?" Edward said this while snorting. “Your ex-wife has told me everything.” Edward's gaze turned towards the shopkeeper. “I warn you to throw this man out immediately! He is a useless man. There is no way he can afford to pay for those things.”The woman's expression turned doubtful toward Leon. She trusted Edward more because the man was a loyal customer of the shop.Without embarrassing Leon, she asked him in a gentle tone, "Sir, are you really going to buy these things?"“Yes, I will buy it. Quickly take these items to the cashier!” Leon ordered."Yes sir."Edward folded his hands across his stomach while seeing whether Leon could pay for the items or not."The total price is 25,000 dollars, sir,"
Leon rushed to his room and locked the door. He immediately called the butler that very second. The phone rang three times, but there was no answer from the old man."Mickey, please answer my phone," Leon muttered frantically.Dave had just returned suddenly, even though Leon thought that the man would be in another city for weeks. So Leon had to carry out all his plans suddenly."The police and I will wait for the man in front of his bedroom, I'm sure he can't escape," Leon muttered as he read the map plans he had made.Leon's cell phone suddenly rang. A hopeful smile appeared on Leon's lips when he saw that the person who contacted him was the butler."What's happened, young master?" Mickey asked with sleep in his eyes because Leon contacted him at 2 a.m.“Dave is back. He came home suddenly, and I was very surprised. We don't have much time left. We have to work together with the police to catch him before he realizes who I really am.”"I will immediately coordinate with the police
The butler frowned, looking at a small house in front of him. He looked around him and found no other house besides this house.“Young master, is this really the home of someone you want to meet?” asked the butler.Leon nodded. "Yes. Let's go there." He knocked on the door of the house, but the occupant of the house still had not opened the door for him."Excuse me, it's me, Leon," said Leon.After Leon said his name, George immediately opened the door. The man was seen carrying a wooden stick in his hand."I'm sorry, Leon, there was a stranger who suddenly followed me. I thought you were him," explained George.The butler gasped. He was silent while looking at the old man in front of him. This was like a dream for him.“Master, you? You're still alive!" Mickey exclaimed.George smiled happily. “Mickey, I haven't seen you in a long time.” He approached Mickey and hugged him. Two old men hugged each other with emotion.“I'm so happy to see you're still alive. Mr. William and Mrs. Belin
“Claire, are you okay?” Diego saw Claire, who was muttering."I'm fine, Diego," replied Claire with a smile.“I think I want to go to the toilet. Wait a moment. I'll be right back!”When Diego left, Claire rushed over to Leon and Elena. “Hey, what are you two doing here?” Claire asked in a mocking tone.Elena immediately looked at her sharply. “We have nothing to do with you.”"Oh, don't worry, I told you that I wouldn't take Leon from you. He's not my type. Besides, I also have a man who is handsome and rich," replied Claire while shrugging her shoulders.Leon looked at Claire's presence in surprise. He was sure that his family would definitely not invite Claire."Leon, I wonder why I always meet you at parties thrown by rich people." Claire asked.“I'm surprised by that too, Claire. I should have enjoyed the party quietly with Elena without meeting you," Leon exclaimed. He took Elena's hand and asked her to leave. "Let's go, Elena!"Claire snorted as she folded her hands across her
The guests at the party panicked and finally ran to the hotel, so the hotel room was full, and only one room was left with the highest type."Please, I want to book that room," said Leon.Claire rolled her eyes while chuckling. "Leon, don't be ridiculous! We came here to get a room at this hotel, and now there is only one room. I'm sure you can't pay for it, so let us book the room!" she exclaimed.Diego whispered to Claire, but his voice could still be heard in Leon and Elena's ears. "Is he your useless ex-husband, Claire?""Right! So, there's no way he can order a presidential suite room at this hotel," Claire said in a loud voice."I'm serious, please give me the room!" begged Leon. He could not bear to see Elena, who was exhausted. He wanted Elena to rest in the room.Diego took out a black card from his wallet and handed it to the receptionist. "Give me the room because I can certainly pay for it," he said arrogantly."Alright, sir, the room will be given to you."The receptionis
Dave now felt the cold bars of prison. He wouldn't let someone who sent him to prison be able to live in peace. If he can't do it alone, then his friends would be so glad to help him.Dave's daughter, Jane, also grew to hate the Jensen family and thought that her mother's death was because of the Jensen family, although this accusation was never proven. She felt very sorry for putting her trust in Leon, who turned out to be her family's biggest enemy.Claire entered the elevator of a hotel while continuing to stare at the photo of Leon that she found. The photo was one that Dave's subordinates took secretly while Leon was still at the Smith family's house."It looks like you've fallen in love with that useless man again," Diego teased, chuckling when he saw Claire, who had been focusing her gaze on Leon's photo.Claire snorted. She brushed off the man's teasing. “I'm not in love with him, but I'm curious why they keep photos of this loser. Like for what?""Could it be that he is the h
One week later.Renee has arrived in Auckland. She was picked up by Elena and Leon at the airport. Along the way, she looked out the car window and saw the scenery they were passing by. Arriving at the apartment, the woman's enthusiastic expression faded. She knew that Leon only worked as a part-time worker in a restaurant, so she didn't have high expectations of the man's lifestyle. But looking at the apartment building they lived in, Renee felt a little surprised.Elena and Leon lived in a very simple apartment. Renee walked up the stairs while looking around her. There was nothing special about the apartment building, with white walls without any amazing interior touches."Elena, I thought you lived in a pretty nice apartment like the apartment I saw there earlier," said Renee.Elena smiled faintly to cover the tightness in her heart. “We can only rent a room in this apartment, Mom. The other apartments are too expensive," she replied."Hmm, okay." Renee shrugged her shoulders and
Leon had just come home from work. He worked at a new restaurant that was still owned by his family. The man rushed to Elena's room with a box of pizza in his hand.Leon knocked on Elena's door. “Elena, please open the door!” Leon ordered. He tried knocking on the door several times, but there was no answer from inside."Is Elena not in her room?" Leon muttered. He took out his cell phone to check whether there were new messages or not.Leon gasped when he read a message from Elena saying that the girl was dealing with Edward Lackner because she accidentally ruined a dress at The Pretty Lackner.Without thinking, Leon immediately rushed to The Pretty Lackner boutique. When we got there, the boutique was closed.Leon sighed as he stood with his hands on his hips. He looked around and saw no sign of Elena and her mother there.“Elena, where are you now?” Leon muttered worriedly. Leon took his cell phone from his trouser pocket and called the woman.The phone connected, but Elena still d
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
