“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 had been waiting for an hour in front of The Pretty Lackner boutique, but he had not seen any sign of Edward, along with Elena and her mother. "Pretending to be poor in a situation like this is very difficult," complained Leon. He wanted to use all his power as an heir to the Jensen family to solve his problems.Leon could have easily paid 100,000 dollars in compensation to Edward Lackner, but he couldn't do it in front of Elena and her mother. He would find the right way to pay the fine without them knowing.After waiting for a long time, Edward's car arrived. Seeing Leon waiting in front of his boutique, Edward grinned."Have you waited long?" Edward teased as he got out of his car. He took off his sunglasses and put them on his shirt collar.Leon didn't answer Leon's question and stared at him sharply with his hands tightly clenched into fists.Elena got out of the car with her mother. She looked at Leon with teary eyes. She felt very guilty because she made Leon responsible f
Elena waited anxiously for Leon's arrival. Her hands felt cold, and she couldn't calm down before seeing Leon return to the apartment. Renee rubbed Elena's shoulder and tried to calm her.“Elena, Leon will definitely be back soon. He will definitely be fine," said Renee.Elena's hand massaged her head, which felt heavy. "You don't know, Mom, even Leon once fought with that man." Elena was afraid that Edward's bodyguards would beat Leon like they had done. That's why she felt it was hard to leave Leon there.A taxi stopped in front of the apartment. Seeing that, Elena immediately ran over to it. Seeing Leon get out of the taxi, Elena's feelings suddenly became calmer.“Leon!” Elena exclaimed.“Elena.”Elena checked Leon from top to toe to make sure there were no wounds that Edward had given him."What happened? Did Edward try to hit you?" Elena asked worriedly.Leon laughed at Elena's question. “He didn't do anything to me. As you can see, I'm back in good condition.” He opened his arm
Leon turned his neck until his gaze focused on Claire. He frowned at Claire's question. "What do you mean?"Claire took a photo of Leon, which was in her bag. He showed the photo to Leon while explaining. “We accidentally met them when we had to move to another hotel. And as they were leaving, I saw your photo fall out of their pocket.”Leon stepped closer to Claire and took his photo. He looked at the photo and realized that someone had secretly photographed him while he was still at the Smith family's house.“Leon, so those people were looking for you?” Elena's soft voice made Leon look at her.Leon shook his head. "I don't think so. Why are they looking for me? I'm not someone important, Elena," he answered so that Elena wouldn't be suspicious.“Yeah, you're right. Why are they looking for you? You're even a very useless person. Or maybe they want to send you to a place of human trafficking. At least you have organs they can sell," sneered Claire, followed by laughter from Claire a
