"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,
