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
“No, Mother! Please don't make it difficult for Leon. 50,000 dollars is not a small amount," Elena protested. The woman stepped closer to her mother and stood in front of her.Renee snorted. "So you mean I just let you go to marry him without giving him any requirements?"“You can give him requirements, but asking for 50,000 dollars is not an easy requirement, Mother. Please understand our situation.” Elena's voice sounded hoarse, muffled by the tears that had collected in the corners of her eyes. Renee was silent, looking at her daughter with an annoyed expression."You don't need to cry, Elena!" Renee exclaimed."Elena, you don't need to worry, I will give your mom the 50,000 dollars." Leon's words shocked Elena, meanwhile Renee grinned.Elena turned to Leon while shaking her head. “No, Leon! That's a big amount, we don't have that kind of money.”“Elena, what are you doing? If Leon is indeed able to meet those requirements, why do you object?" Renee shouted.“Elena, believe that I
“But we arrived at this table first.” Leon looked at the waiter while frowning.The waiter watched the Leon family's appearance with a disdainful look. They looked like people who even couldn't afford the cheapest menu in the restaurant. Their clothes even looked very simple and cheap."Sorry, sir, but this table is for the Lawrence family," said the waiter.“Has the Lawrence family reserved this table?” Leon asked. If the Lawrence family had booked this table in advance, then Leon would have given it up because this was a professional form of restaurant service.The waiter shook his head. “No, sir. But they are regular customers at this restaurant, that's why we always prioritize them. You can leave this restaurant because it is full, there is no place left.” Without hesitation, the waiter also told them to leave.“But we also pay to eat here!” shouted Renee, who joined in the protest.“But there are no more tables left.” The waiter looked at Renee sharply.Belinda looked around and
“Diego, why are you still standing there? Don't you want to join us?” Diego's father shouted at his son, who was still standing in front of the door.Seeing his father's call, Diego immediately rushed to join his family's table. Leon was still there, and the waiter was starting to run out of patience.“Enough! You have to get out of here!” the waiter exclaimed as he pulled Leon's hand out of the restaurant. He didn't wait for security to do it because he was furious with Leon.The waiter pulled Leon's hand roughly until the man fell to the floor. Some customers saw Leon and laughed at him. Moreover, Diego laughed with satisfaction at seeing the waiter treat Leon like that. He increasingly believed that he was indeed much better than Claire's ex-husband, as Claire always told him."Get up quickly and get out of here!" The waiter wanted to pull Leon's hand back, but Leon slapped his hand away. He glared at the man and gave him a warning.“I'm warning you, if you don't apologize to me, t
Arthur ran to a restaurant not far from The Beef King to look for Leon. He didn't expect that Leon would have that much influence until he was fired that very afternoon.Arthur stopped in front of a restaurant and could see Leon through the window. “He is there. I have to immediately beg him so that I don't lose my job," he determined.Arthur's sudden arrival surprised Leon and his family. Moreover, the man suddenly knelt in front of Leon.“Hey, what are you doing here?” Leon exclaimed as he stood up and immediately avoided Arthur."Isn't he the waiter who kicked us out?" Renee looked at Arthur sharply. “What did he come here for?” she exclaimed irritably.Arthur looked up while cupping his hands. He looked at Leon with a look that asked for mercy.“Whoever you are, please help me. I'm sorry, please give me a chance to keep working there," Arthur whined.Leon frowned. "What do you mean?""Suddenly the general manager fired me, and I'm sure you were the cause," explained Arthur.Leon s
“Mother, then why are you more worried about what your friends think than us? We can't afford to throw a fancy party because it will cost a lot of money, and I'm okay with that. Please don't complicate our marriage.” Elena looked at her mother with teary eyes, she just hoped that Renee would stop putting high demands on her marriage.“Elena, but you are my only daughter. I don't want you to have a simple marriage," Renee replied, approaching her daughter and holding her shoulder."But I'm very happy with a simple wedding, I don't need a luxurious wedding party. And you have also given Leon a requirement to give you 50,000 dollars," said Elena, glancing at Leon.Leon's parents were surprised to hear Elena's words. Leon had never told this about them before. They immediately understood why Leon asked them to hide their true identities.“Elena!” Renee glared at Elena and squeezed her shoulder. She felt embarrassed because Elena revealed the requirement she had given Leon in front of Leon
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
