“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
Leon rushed back to the apartment because Elena was definitely very worried about him. Michael wanted to accompany his master, but Leon refused because he was afraid that Elena and her mother would become suspicious. All the wounds caused by Diego's punch were incomparable to Leon's worries about Elena.“Elena!” Leon had arrived at the apartment and immediately knocked on the woman's room door. “Elena, please open the door!” Leon exclaimed."Gosh, isn't Elena here?" Leon was silent for a moment and remembered that today was a work day for Elena. Of course, she was at work.“Where have you been?” A woman's loud voice surprised Leon. He immediately looked back and saw Renee, who had just arrived."I have business I must finish," replied Leon spontaneously.“Do you know that Elena is very worried about you? You should have told her about your whereabouts.”"I'm so sorry." Leon let out a heavy breath.Renee observed Leon's face, which appeared to have several bruises, although the bruises
Leon looked at the man with a frown. “Alexander Waldorf?”“I'm so glad to meet you here.” Alexandre smiled and shook Leon's hand.Leon wiped his hand on his clothes first before returning the man's handshake. “Glad to meet you too.”Alexandre Waldorf was one of the starboys at Grand Star University. He often spent time with Louis Winkler when he was still a college student. They were young men who were liked by many girls, while Leon was the opposite.After shaking hands with Leon and seeing the plastic bag containing fruit that Leon was holding, Alexandre looked at Leon with pity. Moreover, seeing Leon's torn sleeves made him look even more like a homeless person."Have you had breakfast?" asked Alexandre.Leon shook his head. "Not yet. I just ate this," he answered, showing the fruit he was eating."Then let's go for breakfast at the restaurant!""Thank you, but I'll go have breakfast later," replied Leon politely. He felt strange to find Alexandre suddenly coming to him like this.
Leon and Claire were silent for a moment. Claire, who initially entered the restaurant for breakfast, suddenly accidentally saw Leon standing in the corner of the restaurant. Out of curiosity, she finally approached the man."What are you doing here?" Claire asked while looking at Leon with disdain. She sneered even more when she saw Leon's shabby appearance. “Look at your clothes; you look like a homeless person who suddenly walked into this luxurious restaurant. I wonder why they let you in."“This is none of your business, Claire. Instead of continuing to insult me, you'd better ask Diego why he lied to you!" replied Leon.Claire frowned. She didn't understand what Leon meant. "What do you mean?" Claire response.Leon snorted. "It turns out you still don't know that he already has a fiancee.""What?" Claire gasped, but she chuckled. “What are you talking about? Is he engaged? Yes, you mean we will be engaged soon. He will immediately take me to see the Lawrence family," said Claire
The security guards stopped in their tracks and turned to look at the middle-aged man. The restaurant manager stepped closer to them. He looked at Leon with a frown."Who is he?" asked the manager.“He's just causing trouble here, so we'll take him away from here.”The man narrowed his eyes, observing Leon's face, which felt familiar in his mind. He seemed to have seen someone who looked like Leon before, but who?Alexandre and Claire couldn't wait to see the restaurant manager curse at Leon, but what the restaurant manager did shocked them."Please come with me to my room!" asked the restaurant manager.Leon glanced at the two men who were holding his hands. “You heard him, right? The manager asked me to come to his room! So let me go!"The two men immediately let go of Leon's hands. The manager walked first, followed by Leon behind him. As they walked past Alexandre, the man shouted at the manager."What will you do? He is a poor, useless man who was causing trouble in this restaura
