"Don't you like that old woman?" Wilhelm asked. He became increasingly curious about the relationship between Elena's family. It can be seen from their expressions that they did not show a harmonious relationship.Renee frowned. She stared at Wilhelm sharply. "Sorry, sir, we don't have time to talk about it. We have to go.”“Let's go, Joe!”Renee grabbed Joe's hand and asked him to get out of there. They had only taken a few steps when Wilhelm's voice stopped them."Wait!""I want to talk to you about something; it has to do with Leon."They turned to Wilhelm to hear what the man had to say.“I saw what happened to you. I saw Leon and Elena, who were ignoring you. I know they won't accept you."Wilhelm's words made Renee and Joe look at each other.“Yes, they didn't want to meet us. So what does that have to do with you, sir?” Renee responded.“I want to take revenge on Leon with your help. He was the one who put my son in prison and forced me to remove him from the Lackner family. I
Leon was silent when he heard Claire's words, which were true. But that's not actually Leon's purpose in doing this.Claire discovered an astonishing new fact after Leon officially announced himself as the heir to the Jensen family. She was stunned to find that the mysterious master who bought her building at that time was none other than her ex-husband, Leon.With this, Claire still has hope in Leon so that he can return to her.“I admit I did do that. I did it not long after we divorced. But I don't love you anymore, Claire. Our world is different now, and it has been different since I agreed to our divorce. So please don't appear in front of me to say stupid things like that," said Leon after being silent for a moment.“Leon, but I still love you. I keep thinking about you every night.” Claire spoke with teary eyes.Edward snorted. He smiled bitterly. "You mean, you think about me because it turns out I'm a rich man and not a loser like you used to think of me?" he quipped.“Leon,
Claire stepped back slowly so that Anthony wouldn't notice her leaving, but just as she turned around, Anthony shouted at her."Where are you going?" shouted Anthony, who immediately approached Claire and stood in front of the woman.Claire crossed one arm over her chest and bowed to Anthony. “My Lord, I have to leave here immediately. I have something to do," said Claire, trying to escape from the man.Anthony immediately grabbed Claire's wrist. "You can't just leave before I know who you are and what your purpose was in doing that to Leon!"Claire was no longer afraid to look at Anthony. She looked at the man with courage. “My Lord, I am Leon's ex-wife, and I did that because I missed him,” she said firmly. “Is that explanation enough for you? I have to go!” She brushed off Anthony's hand roughly and immediately left the man.Anthony was just silent. He stared at Claire's back, which was getting further away from his sight, with a frown.“Oh, so she is Leon's ex-wife?” He was surpri
Wilhelm was in a room with a middle-aged man. They took their wine glasses and toasted them."We toast to our victory, which is in sight," said the man, and then his laughter boomed."Sir, soon the Jensen family will definitely be destroyed, especially after their sole heir will be gone forever," said Wilhelm. He grinned.Wilhelm wasn't the only one behind this. There was another party who was the main perpetrator, because he was the mastermind of this murder plan. He used Wilhelm as his only accomplice.Wilhelm, who had a grudge against the Jensen family after his son went to prison, agreed to his offer.The sound of a cell phone ringing on the table interrupted their conversation. It showed Renee's name on Wilhelm's cell phone screen.Wilhelm took his cell phone and answered the call."What's the matter?" Wilhelm asked.“Sir, I have brought her home with me. Now you can start your plan," explained Renee."Okay. If you don't want your daughter to die with that bastard, don't let her
The atmosphere at the dining table that morning seemed quiet. There was no conversation whatsoever—not even a good morning greeting from her parents. Elena, who was still annoyed by her mother's rude attitude last night, decided not to talk to her parents. She would only speak if they asked her first.Renee and Joe looked at each other. Their gazes turned to Elena. They seemed to be planning something.“Ahem!” Renee cleared her throat. There was no reaction from Elena; she continued eating.“Elena.” Renee's voice drew Elena's gaze."Yes, Mother?" Elena responded.“Tomorrow we will return to Havelock. I want you to come with us, Elena.” Renee's words made Elena gasp.“I will stay in Auckland. I can't go with you," said Elena, shaking her head. Her relationship with Leon was not good, but she never thought about leaving the city.“Are you still hoping that Leon will come to pick you up? You've even seen that he's hugging his ex-wife; I'm sure he still loves her. I feel like you're only
Michael looked around, and after seeing no one there, he got out of his car. He approached the house."I've heard that the young master married a poor girl, but her parents could rent a house as luxurious as this," Michael muttered, a little surprised.Michael touched the fence and found that it was locked. He's not out of his wits. Michael had prepared everything. He has a tool to open the lock.It took him a few seconds, and the fence opened. The man immediately moved towards the main door.Michael looked in the window and found that the place was empty. "Could it be that Miss Elena was in the car that just left?" he muttered."There is only one way to find out." Michael unlocked the door, and he managed to get into the house.“Mrs. Elena, are you here?” Michael exclaimed while looking around him.“Mrs. Elena!"Elena heard Michael's voice downstairs. She ran towards the door and shouted from there."I am here! Help me! I was locked in the room; they had locked me in!” Elena shouted
Leon ran out of the house when he saw Michael's car coming. He was sure that his assistant had succeeded in bringing Elena home.Michael got out of the car and looked at Leon with a smile. He opened the car door, and Elena got out of it.“Elena!” Leon immediately ran over to the woman and hugged her tightly. He kissed Elena repeatedly and hugged her without paying attention to his surroundings.“Leon, I really missed you. I'm sorry for not wanting to listen to you," said Elena with teary eyes.“No, Elena. This is not your fault. But what is clear is that now our problems have been resolved and we will start a new, happier life," replied Leon with a smile.Leon held Elena's hand and invited her into the house. “Tonight there is a party I have to attend. I want you to come with me," said Leon.Elena nodded. "Okay, I'll go with you.""Sorry to bother you, sir." Michael, who was walking behind them, spoke. Leon turned his neck to look at his assistant.“Yes, Michael?”"The road to get to
Elena's body felt weak. Her decision to continue attending the party was apparently not the right one. During the 30-minute on the road, she just leaned her body into Leon's arms while the man rubbed her head."Elena, you better rest at the hotel later, and I will attend the party alone," said Leon.Elena just nodded in resignation to her husband's orders. She couldn't insist on attending the party because of her condition."When we get there, take us straight to the nearest hotel!" Leon ordered his driver.But instead of responding to his words, the driver just remained silent. Leon looked at the man in surprise."Did you hear me?" Leon asked in a louder tone, but there was no reply.The car was on an incline, and ahead there was a road that went down quite steeply."Sir …." The driver's voice sounded stuck in his throat. He didn't look okay.Leon and Elena were shocked. Elena was scared, but Leon tried to calm her down.“Leon, what happened to him? Why did he suddenly become like th
