"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
"Mother," Elena responded.“Did you come here to see me?” Renee asked."Yes, mom. Actually, I wanted to deliver food to you and father, but unfortunately, the food accidentally spilled," explained Elena.Anthony felt guilty. “Miss, please allow me to take responsibility; I will replace this food,” he insisted. He took out some money from his wallet, but Elena still refused it.“Thank you, My Lord. But I couldn't accept it.” Elena cupped her hands. "I have to go." She stepped away from there.Anthony didn't give up, either. He handed the money to Renee. “Please accept this as compensation for the food. I don't want to feel guilty," implored him."Thank you so much, My Lord," said Renee as she accepted the money. Even though she was twice Anthony's age, Renee was fascinated by the Earl.Anthony's polite and gentle demeanor was in perfect harmony with his handsome Greek god face.Anthony's gaze was still focused on Elena, who was now far from his sight. Seeing Elena's beautiful face and
Anthony was in the hotel's presidential suite. He had just gotten out of his bath and walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.He opened the door to his room and looked up at the beautiful evening sky. Suddenly, a knock on the door caught his attention. Anthony turned toward the door while frowning."My Lord, please open the door," said Anthony's assistant from behind the door.Anthony rushed to open the door for his assistant. The man bowed to Anthony."My Lord, I have conveyed your invitation to dinner to the Jensen family, and they accepted the invitation."“Good. They must be very happy to get an invitation to dinner from a noble like me," said Anthony, a little bragging. He grinned.“My Lord, the Jensen family is actually so picky. They will not carelessly attend someone's invitation. Their lives are also full of privacy. Even the heir of the Jensen family never appeared in any media because they forbade the media to publish photos of their son," explained the assistant."R
The Jensen family received a dinner invitation from Anthony Wright. They crossed one arm over their chests and then bowed their bodies as a form of respect for the nobleman.Anthony bowed his body in return for their respect.“Thank you so much for coming. It is an honor for me to have dinner with the Jensen family," said Anthony."This is an honor for us too, My Lord," replied William.Anthony's gaze turned to Leon, whose expression looked cold. 'So he is the heir to the Jensen family?' he said to himself.They sat at the dining table. Leon took a seat next to his father and faced Anthony.The waiter started pouring wine into each of their glasses. The atmosphere in the restaurant tonight was very quiet because Anthony had booked the entire restaurant to have dinner with the Jensen family."So, My Lord, did you come here alone?” Belinda asked.Anthony nodded. “Yes, ma'am. I only came here with my assistant and subordinates," he answered.William started to take turns asking Anthony,
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
