Lady Sofia smiled at Claire, who was looking at her. Suddenly, Lady Sofia's cell phone rang. She immediately took her cell phone on the table and saw that it was Leon who was calling her.."Wait a moment, young master is calling me," said Lady Sofia, asking permission to take the call.Claire paid more and more attention to Lady Sofia and became curious about the topics of the woman's conversation with the heir of the Jensen family. It seemed like she would have to find a way to stay there a little longer.“Miss Anastasia, may I join this table?” Claire asked."Yes, of course, Miss Claire," replied Anastasia. She and Lady Sofia had finished discussing their business, so there would be no important conversation that only they could hear, so she allowed Claire to join.Claire pulled a chair in front of her and sat down there.Lady Sofia looked serious talking to Leon on the phone. Not long after, their call ended.“Miss Anastasia, young master, will come here to talk to you. He's going
Leon pursed his lips and smiled mockingly. He turned his gaze back to Claire, who was looking at him expectantly."I already thought you must have a secret relationship with the heir," sneered Leon.Claire snorted. “Whatever you say, I just want to know who he really is. Can you tell me about him? Please tell me at least his name,” she implored.Claire put aside her pride for a while because her curiosity was much higher. Everyone knew that the heir of the Jensen family was a very honorable man, he would not waste his time on a woman who was not important to him. But that night, the heir came to see Claire while hiding his identity and face. If the heir wasn't interested enough in Claire, why would he do that? This was what Claire thought. Claire was sure that the heir had been secretly watching her for a long time and had special feelings for her.Leon folded his hands across his stomach with a teasing look. "So, you've actually met the heir?" he asked.This time Claire didn't want t
Leon glanced at the butler and raised his eyebrows, giving him a code to go. The butler obeyed and left. Leon's gaze returned to Claire.“Whether I come to a party or not is none of your business!”Claire pulled up one corner of her lips and smiled scornfully. “Do you think you're that important? Or perhaps you came here because Anastasia invited you? I still remember before you married that village girl, you tried to get close to the girls from the Braun family.”"But it seems like the rich women don't want to make you their gigolo, so in the end you chose to marry Elena. Luckily, you can be a sycophant and succeed in becoming Mr. Altafini's servant.”Leon was furious to hear all the insults from his ex-wife, but he tried to hold his tongue."If you think I'm that bad, then why did you ask me to come back to you?" Leon spat out his words and snorted. "You even slandered me as having raped you just to make my marriage to Elena annulled. Isn't that a very embarrassing thing?” he quippe
Every time he saw Leon, fear and guilt immediately enveloped Edward's heart. The man felt uneasy. His gaze looked blank as he stared around him.“They won't be able to catch me. What am I worried about?” Edward muttered convincingly to himself not to worry about it anymore.Seeing Edward's anxious attitude, Elora looked at him in wonder. "Are you okay?" Elora's soft voice and sweet smile made Edward move his lips into a slight smile. Although he couldn't deny that his heart was beating with worry filling it."My dear Elora, I'll excuse myself for a moment to go to the toilet. I'll be right back.” Edward asked permission to leave.Elora nodded and let Edward leave her. The man left the ballroom not to go to the toilet but to go to the parking lot.Edward got into his car and looked for his anti-depressant medication but couldn't find it."Hufttt! Did I leave the medicine at home?” complained Edward, sighing in annoyance. He leaned back in the car seat while rubbing his face in frustrat
"She is at home," Leon answered briefly with a faint smile."Oh, I see."“How about we have dinner tomorrow? "I'll invite Jessica too," invited Carlos.Without thinking, Leon immediately rejected Carlos' invitation. "Sorry, I can't come," he replied.“Leon.” William glanced at his son with a warning look. "Carlos will only be in New Zealand for a week, so you better not refuse his invitation," said William.Leon let out a soft breath. "Okay, I will attend tomorrow together with my wife." He moved his lips into a smile.“I will wait for your arrival tomorrow.”***Leon and Elena rushed into a taxi to go to a restaurant to attend Carlos' dinner invitation.“So, he is the heir's cousin? Will the heir also come?” Elena asked, looking at her husband.“Hmm, no. I mean, the heir is not coming.”“Why didn't he come, and they invited us instead? This is a bit odd.”"I don't know. I just followed orders from Mr. Altafini," said Leon while rolling his eyes. Elena leaned her head on the headrest
Heavy rain began to pour down on the city. The weather turned colder. What's more, winter will soon arrive. Elena, who was wearing a sleeveless dress, immediately felt the cold air hitting her skin. She crossed her arms to hug herself.Leon realized that his wife was cold. “Elena, you must feel cold. We should buy a jacket to keep you warm," said Leon as he immediately pulled Elena into his arms. He tried to warm his wife for a few seconds.“No, you don't need to buy me a jacket.”“It's okay, Elena. I still have enough money to buy it for you!” Leon insisted.Elena no longer refused Leon's request. She smiled and was touched when she saw Leon paying so much attention to her.They went to a clothing store, which was still in the mall. When he was about to enter the shop, Leon received a message from Jessica telling him that the duo Lackner had left there.“Okay, Elena and I will be here soon. We are buying a jacket first.” Leon replied to his cousin's message.They entered the clothing
The cashier returned the card to Leon, her eyes glancing slightly at Daniel. Daniel, who was standing behind Leon and Elena, smiled grinningly while giving a thumbs up. He liked the awesome cashier work.Leon sighed as he looked at Elena. "I'm sorry, Elena; I didn't bring cash. Maybe we can buy this jacket another time.” He tried to cheer up Elena because Leon knew that his wife really liked the jacket."Don't worry, you don't have to buy me this jacket now, I can wait another time," said Elena smiling.Cora folded her arms across her stomach while looking at them with an intimidating gaze. The cashier knew that Cora wanted them to leave the store immediately, so they gently shooed them away."If you have nothing else to do here, you can leave now," ordered the shopkeeper.Elena nodded and turned her body to look at the door. The sudden arrival of Edward and Max surprised them."Edward Lackner," Leon muttered as he looked at the man. They looked at each other, but Edward immediately l
Edward walked towards the parking lot with Max. Along the steps leading to the parking lot, there was no conversation between them until, when they were about to get into the car, Max started talking."I don't understand why you are helping them?" Max asked while holding Edward's hand, which was about to open the car door.Edward sighed and turned to his cousin. “What's wrong if I want to help them? You saw that lady, she was only wearing a sleeveless dress, and the weather outside was cold," he replied.Edward's gaze accidentally fell on a Porsche parked not far from his car."That car," Edward muttered as he stepped closer to the car.Max looked at the car and realized that it was his cousin's, which had been sold."Isn't that your car?" Max asked as he walked over to his cousin.Edward nodded. "Yes, and I saw it again." He rubbed his head while letting out a frustrated sigh."But who do you think bought your car? I wanted to buy it, but you forbade me. Sigh, this car should be mine
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
