“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
"Please, Mom, give Elena a chance. I love her so much." Leon got up from his seat and was about to chase his mother, but William stopped him.“Leon, leave your mother alone.”“But?”“Don't worry, I'm sure she will change her mind. You and Elena just need to convince her," said William as he gave his son a reassuring smile.Leon sighed. “Then, what about you, Dad? Don't you also agree if I marry Elena?" Leon asked in a pessimistic tone.William snorted. “I never forbade you from marrying her. I'm sure you're mature enough to decide your own life. You must be ready for all the risks, right?"Leon nodded in response. "Yeah, I'm ready."“I'll try talking to your mother later.” William stepped away from there, leaving a lot of food that had been served there.Leon stared at his father's departure with a blank gaze. He sat down anxiously. Suddenly, the sound of his cell phone ringing brought Leon out of his thoughts.“Sofia?” Leon suddenly remembered the order he had given his executive ass
“Lady Sofia?” Claire stared at the woman in confusion.Lady Sofia frowned. She might have met Claire, but she didn't really remember her face."What are you doing here?" asked Lady Sofia.“Lady Sofia, who was the man you were with earlier?” Diego didn't hesitate to ask directly about Leon.Lady Sofia looked at Diego intently. She was alert and would not put her master in danger. Moreover, for Lady Sofia, the two people in front of her were just strangers who had no relationship with Leon, so she didn't have to answer honestly."He is my friend," answered Lady Sofia after being silent for a moment.“Your friend? Is he the owner of this building?” Claire asked, which immediately caught Diego's attention.Lady Sofia shook her head. “No, he isn't." Without saying another word, she got back into the car, followed by her bodyguard. The car drove off and left Claire and Diego with their curiosity unanswered."It seems my guess is right, you must be related to the owner of this building, righ
Diego gasped in the presence of Teresa, who was his fiancee. The woman had been in France for the past year, and she returned to New Zealand because her family and Diego's family agreed they wanted to talk about their marriage.“Teresa, what are you doing here? I asked you to wait for me at home, but why did you come here?” Diego exclaimed, which immediately faded the smile on Teresa's face.Teresa thought that her fiance would be very happy when he saw her presence. She didn't expect Diego to yell at her like that.“I'm sorry, I just wanted to come see you. I miss you. It's been a long time since we've seen each other," replied Teresa with teary eyes, holding back tears.Diego sighed. “Teresa, get out of here quickly! I'll see you later. Now I want to enjoy my time alone," Diego ordered.“But—”“Go, Teresa! Go!”With a sad expression, Teresa walked away from there. Leon felt sorry for Teresa. He wouldn't let Diego hurt her like that.“Stop!” Leon chased Teresa and stood in front of h
