Elena and Leon left the trial room with gloomy expressions. Today's trial still sided with the Lackner family.The butler stepped closer to them. “This is the first trial; there are still further trials. We can definitely prove that he really did it," he said, convincing Leon and Elena."I feel the same thing too. My feeling is very strong, I'm sure he is the perpetrator," replied Leon.Meanwhile, Elena felt so pessimistic. She felt that her family would lose and end up with the Lackner family suing them.The butler moved closer to Leon and whispered to him. "Young master, you better go home immediately because Miss Elena is not feeling well. She looks very sad.”Leon nodded. “Okay, Mickey. I'll take her home now. Thank you for coming and helping me.”"As always, young master." Then the butler walked away from there. Likewise, Leon and Elena immediately left the place.Along the way home, Leon continued to convince Elena that they would definitely win this case. Elena seemed to doubt
Rexa and Dean were having dinner with their clients at a luxury restaurant. Rexa was seen chatting casually with them, but Dean looked quiet and bored there.Dean looked at the watch around his wrist. He chuckled in annoyance. “Why does time seem so long? I really want to get out of here," he muttered.Suddenly, a new message landed on his cell phone. He read the message and smiled. The message felt like a cooling breeze in the hot summer season.'Okay, we'll go to the club tonight.' Dean replied to his friend's message. At least there was something to be excited about tonight.Dinner with clients has finished. The driver opened the door and invited them to get into the car, but only Rexa got in there.“Dean, what are you doing there? Come in quickly!” Rexa ordered.“Father, I still have something to do. You can go home first. I'll go home with my friends later," said Dean.Rexa's gaze still didn't shift to his son. He looked at him suspiciously."Okay, but don't do anything embarrass
“Thank you very much, sir.” Elena cupped her palms while slightly bowing her head to Dean.Dean looked at the woman worriedly. "Are you okay? Did those men hurt you?" he asked.Even though Dean's life was surrounded by many women and often prostitutes, Dean wasn't a lecherous man and actually cared about a woman's feelings. That's why he was willing to help Elena, even though he didn't know her.Elena shook her head. "I'm fine. If you don't help me, I don't know what will happen to me," she said with teary eyes.“Okay, I will take you home now, Miss...""Elena, my name is Elena," said Elena.“Yes, Elena. I'm Dean, and this is my friend Ruslan," said Dean, glancing at his friend, who was driving."Nice to meet you." Elena took her cell phone and found that the battery was running out. "What if Leon is looking for me?" she muttered anxiously.Dean heard Elena muttering. He looked at the woman through the car mirror hanging above his head."Where do you live? We'll take you home," asked
"I don't know him, and I hit him because he dared to touch my wife," said Leon in a cold voice. The man immediately walked away, leaving Elena, who was still staring at him.Elena sighed. She felt something was wrong. “I've never seen Leon like this. There must be something he's hiding," she muttered suspiciously.***"Edward, come here; I want to talk to you."Edward got up from his seat after hearing a woman's voice calling him from outside his bedroom door."Who?" responded Edward, who was still standing in front of his desk.“Edward, help me. I need your help." The woman's voice sounded increasingly whiny. Edward started to panic. On the one hand, he felt doubtful, but on the other hand, he didn't want to ignore the woman's request for help."Okay, I'll be right there," replied Edward. With heavy steps, the man walked towards the door.The woman's voice could no longer be heard, but the door to Edward's room continued to be knocked repeatedly."Wait, I'll be there soon," said Edwa
Elena prepared breakfast for Leon. After last night's incident, there was no conversation between them. Leon still looked annoyed, and Elena was reluctant to bother him with questions."I made this for you," said Elena as she placed a bowl of broccoli crab soup in front of her husband.Leon looked up at Elena and smiled faintly. “Thank you, Elena.”Elena pulled a chair in front of her and sat down there. "Enjoy your meal, Leon," she said as she was about to put food into her mouth."Enjoy your meal too, Elena," replied Leon.At least the atmosphere wasn't as awkward as last night. Leon actually didn't want to hide anything from Elena, and he will tell her at the right time.While they were eating, suddenly Elena's cell phone rang. She took out her cell phone and saw that the person calling her was her mother. After not calling Elena for a month, the woman suddenly contacted her daughter.Elena accepted the call lazily. Because her parents didn't show any concern about her, even when E
Elena wanted to return to Wellington to submit a letter of resignation to the company where she worked, but Leon wouldn't allow her to leave. He told Elena that she could ask the Jensen family butler for help with this.Leon didn't want Elena to go to Wellington alone, while Leon still had to stay in Auckland to attend the trial.Elena stared at her resignation document. "Is it true that Mr. Altafini can really help with my resignation?” she muttered, still not believing Leon's words.“Elena, we have to go now. The trial will begin soon. Mr. Altafini and the lawyer were waiting there," said Leon."Okay, let's go now." Elena got up from her seat and walked, holding Leon's hand.The taxi that Leon ordered has arrived. Leon opened the taxi door and let Elena get in first."I've told your parents that they have been accepted to work as waiter and waitress at a restaurant in the middle of the city." Leon's words made Elena look at the man. At first, he wanted to give Elena's parents jobs a
An ambulance came and took Wilhelm to the hospital. Max and Samuel—their lawyer—went to the hospital to take the man.Meanwhile, Edward was still standing there, frozen, and his gaze looked full of regret. He didn't regret admitting his mistake, but he regretted why he had to get drunk that night and ended up bumping into Mrs. Garcia.If only he didn't do that, then he wouldn't have to live in the shadow of regret or have his family's dignity threatened.“Edward.” Leon's voice diverted Edward's gaze.The man looked at Leon with teary eyes. They stared at each other, and then Edward knelt at Leon's feet.“Leon, please forgive me. I was the one who hit your grandmother; I was the perpetrator. I am willing to spend time in prison as long as I don't feel this regret and fear for the rest of my life. I will take responsibility," he said with tears streaming down his cheeks.Leon was pensive when he saw Edward kneeling down at him. He took a deep breath and asked Edward to stand up."Elena
“What document is this, Max?” Edward asked, frowning.Max looked at Edward with sad eyes. He felt like in that second, he lost the ability to speak, even just to answer the question.Edward opened the document and read it for a moment. His eyes widened, and his hands suddenly trembled until the document fell from his hands."What happened, Edward?" Elora was surprised to see Edward's reaction. She picked up the document that had fallen on the floor, then read it.Elora was very surprised. Her palm immediately covered her gaping, open mouth. It was written in the document that Edward had officially been expelled from the Lackner family. The surname 'Lackner' has also been removed from his name. From this moment on, Edward was not a member of the Lackner family, and he also did not have any rights to his family's wealth and power.After Wilhelm regained consciousness, he immediately asked his lawyer to take care of Edward's removal papers as a member of the Lackner family. He didn't wan
