Leon nodded his head, confirming Alessandro's question.Alessandro bowed his body and smiled at Leon, not caring that the man didn't look according to the dress code. He was very happy to see that Leon was willing to attend his birthday party.“Welcome to my party, Master. I've been waiting for you for a long time, and now I'm very happy to see you here," said Alessandro, showing his gratitude toward Leon.“But I don't want to take off my mask. If you mind, then I'll leave right away," said Leon, giving him two options."Sir, you can wear whatever you want; my party is still open for you," replied Alessandro with a smile."Thank you, Alessandro."Leon stepped into the ballroom. His arrival, walking side by side with Alessandro, immediately caught the attention of the people there. Seeing Alessandro being so respectful towards him, they could conclude that he must be a very important guest. There were many guests from high society at the party tonight, but they didn't see Alessandro gr
Leon realized that Edward was watching him. He also changed his position so that his back was facing Edward.“Do you know where Edward Lackner lives?” Leon asked Alessandro.“As far as I know, Edward Lackner doesn't live in Wellington, sir. He came to Wellington on business. If I'm not wrong, tomorrow he will return to his hometown, Auckland," answered Alessandro."So he'll be back there tomorrow?" Leon responded.Alessandro nodded. "Yes sir."Leon immediately took his cell phone and sent all the evidence to the butler, including information about Edward, who was flying to Auckland tomorrow. They couldn't make Edward suspicious, or else Edward might run away.The party was over. Leon was seen rushing to leave the ballroom, but Alessandro stopped him.“Master.” Alessandro's voice made Leon stop in his tracks. He turned to the man."I'm sorry, Master, I just wanted to give this to you," said Alessandro with a little bow, and he handed over a box to Leon.Leon frowned. "What's this?" He
“We almost died because of them!” Elora exclaimed, glaring at Edward, who had forced her and Max to follow the taxi.Edward was lost in thought; he was still surprised and didn't say a word. Elora looked at him irritably."I think it's better if we go back now," said Max. Without waiting for his cousin's approval, he turned the steering wheel to leave there.Meanwhile, Leon looked at the taxi's rearview mirror and didn't see the white car following him.“It looks like they managed to get the car to stop chasing me. Good job," said Leon, satisfied with the results of his subordinates' work.When Leon arrived home, he immediately approached Elena, who was asleep in bed. He sat on the edge of the bed while looking at his wife's tired face. He hesitated to wake her up, but Leon had no other choice because they had to get ready to go back to Auckland tomorrow morning."Elena." Leon patted Elena's cheek slowly.Elena opened her eyes slowly, and she rubbed her eyes. “Leon? You are already ho
Max approached his uncle and tried to calm him down. "I believe Edward is innocent. That loser is the one who reported Edward," he said, glancing at Leon.Elora was also there. Since earlier, the woman had been crying, thinking about Edward and the news about him that had spread throughout the country.Leon stepped forward to face Wilhelm. His eyes stared intently at the old man, without the slightest fear.“Your son must take responsibility for his crime! He's the person who killed my grandmother," Leon exclaimed.Wilhelm looked at Leon with an indifferent look. He snorted and grinned. “I want to know what made you brave enough to confront the Lackner family.”"I have strong evidence that Edward is truly guilty. He will rot in prison to atone for what he has done!." Leon spoke in a high tone, surprising several people there, because the person facing him was Wilhelm Lackner, a person who had power, while Leon was just a loser to them.Wilhelm raised an eyebrow, looking at Leon search
Everyone stared at the old man, who had just arrived.“Mr. Altafini?” Wilhelm was surprised to see the presence of the Jensen family butler, even though his son had told him earlier that Leon was indeed close to the old man.The butler glanced at Wilhelm, and without saying a word to him, he walked over to Leon. He stood beside Leon and placed his hand on his master's shoulder.“I came here to help Leon and his family get the justice they deserve,” said the butler in a loud voice.Wilhelm's courage waned when faced with people who had more power than himself. 'Gosh, what am I afraid of? He is indeed a confidant of the Jensen family, but he is not a member of the family. He is just a butler. His presence by Leon's side won't help that loser,' Wilhelm thought.Wilhelm cleared his throat. He looked at the butler with a sharp gaze. "Sorry, Mr. Altafini, but you have no right to interfere in our business."The butler snorted. "Interfere in your business? Aren't you wrong? I already conside
Mr. Wang frowned and got up from his seat. "What do you mean? They are one of the richest families in this city, and I think it would be good to collaborate with them.” The man spoke in surprise."Sorry, sir, but their family is currently involved in a case. Wilhelm Lackner's son, Edward Lackner, is accused of being a suspect in a hit and run that occurred some time ago. This case is still in the process of being investigated," explained Mr. Wang's assistant. "This accusation has not been proven, but if this is proven, then you will tarnish your image by collaborating with their company," he added.Mr. Wang was pensive. He nodded his head in understanding. “Yeah, you're right. I don't want my image to be tarnished just because I collaborate with people involved in criminal cases."“But unfortunately, the party invitation has reached them, sir. What should we do? Do we need to send them a cancellation letter?” asked the assistant.Mr. Wang nodded. "Yes, immediately send them a cancell
“I am honored to have you at my party.” Mr. Wang straightened his body and looked at Leon with admiration.Wilhelm was surprised to hear Mr. Wang was the one who named Leon as the heir. Meanwhile, Leon was just silent and looked at Mr. Wang, confused.The butler could read the situation his master was currently facing. He knew that Leon didn't want to reveal his identity to the public yet because he still wanted to keep it a secret from Elena.“Mr. Wang, we better go into the ballroom now," said the butler, inviting them to leave there."Alright, Mr. Altafini."They walked away from there, leaving Wilhelm still curious about Leon's true identity.“Am I dreaming, or is Mr. Wang actually calling him the heir?” Wilhelm muttered.Wilhelm didn't want to embarrass himself any further, so he decided to leave that place. When he arrived in front of the building, he saw Dean Romano coming with an old man who was the butler of the Romano family."Mr. Wilhelm," said Dean Romano. Of course he kne
Dean left Lily and rushed to the room with Mr. Wang."Sorry, Mr. Dean, I've made you leave the party for this short meeting," said Mr. Wang, feeling reluctant."That's fine, Mr. Wang. It's an honor for me to get the opportunity to work with your company," replied Dean with a smile. He was really excited about this offer. His family would definitely be very happy if they knew about this golden opportunity.Dean set foot in the room and was surprised to see two men already sitting there first.The two men also looked at Dean with disapproving looks. “Mr. Romano, let me introduce you to Mr. Jensen. I also offer this opportunity to him. I just chose you among many businessmen. I found that you two are the best," Mr. Wang praised both of them.The sharp gaze between them still didn't end. The Jensen family butler responded to Mr. Wang to lighten the atmosphere. “Thank you, Mr. Wang. I hope our cooperation will go well.”Meanwhile, the two young men just pursed their lips and started to si
