When Archie saw Leona's chest churning with anger, a little pain surfaced in the bottom of his heart."Don't worry, they probably can't buy this house." Archie lowered his voice and said, "Do you want revenge?""Revenge how?" Leona turned her head roughly, but she didn't expect Archie to lower his body and lean behind her, and when she turned around this time, the tip of their noses almost collided.When Leona turned her head, she immediately looked at a pair of eyes as deep as an ocean of stars.Unexpectedly, looking so close, Archie's face was almost perfect.Archie also didn't seem to expect that Leona suddenly turned her head, and when she was caught off guard, he caught a glimpse of Leona's eyes full of longing and hope.Those sparkling eyes gently touched Archie's heart.Somehow, a thought arose from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't let her down!When Leona saw this magnified beautiful face right before her eyes, her body went rigid and she was too dead to move.She was sure
Sure enough, as soon as Archie said those words, the expressions of the people at the dinner table changed instantly.Only Clara's eyes became hotter!Why did such a gentle and sweet man become her brother-in-law?Because of his marriage, Clara's marriage was also ruined.She had no choice but to go to the hospital for surgery.Under this pretext, Bertha took the thirty-two thousand dollars that Mrs. Manley had given to Leona's mother.Now she wanted Leona's mother to take another thirty-two thousand from Leona's hands!For Clara, how could sixty-four thousand dollars be enough to compensate?She couldn't wait to snatch everything that belonged to Leona!Leona had practiced dining etiquette, and although she couldn't match Archie's grace and poise, she was definitely much better than her relatives back home!Clara also wanted to pretend that she knew a lot about dining etiquette, but she really hadn't learned it.She could only imitate Leona and do what Leona did.Archie took all this
Sure enough, Bertha's face suddenly changed!Of course she didn't want to show the contract to Leona!The name on the contract was Clara's!"What? You still can't trust Grandma?" Bertha's face became even uglier, "Leona, you still have the last name Bertha no matter what, even though your father is not your biological father, he raised you! You won't be ungrateful and ignore him, right?""What did Grandma say? How could I do such a thing? I just told Mom that it would be better if she lived with me in the city. After all, my house with Archie is quite big, a luxury villa with three floors up and down and a garden that covers more than ten acres, enough for us to live in." Leona couldn't contain the anger in her heart and her tone grew louder, "Why don't you help me persuade Mom, I really want Mom and Dad to live with me!"Bertha didn't expect Leona to say that and her tone became cold and hard. "No way! Your mom can't leave this house! If she leaves, who will do all the work here?"Le
"Yes." Leona replied, "We're bringing so many people, we can't stay at home! So we'll be staying at a hotel in town for the night.""Then can you give us a ride?" Her father beamed and said with great anticipation, "Well, there is one thing, the bus to the city is out of stock, so check it out..."Leona immediately smiled, "Of course! Dad, we'll talk to mom later, we'll catch the bus to the city, I want to buy you some clothes!"Hearing Leona take the initiative to buy clothes for himself, her father immediately smiled happily and rubbed his hands together, "Good, good! Leona is filial, so I'm quite happy!"Although Grandma tortured Mom, Dad always stood by and just watched.But he was her adoptive father!Leona smiled and said, "Get ready with Mom, we'll be leaving in a moment!""Okay!" Her father left happily.Archie's eyes were fixed on the silhouette of Leona's father and seemed to be thinking.If Leona knew that her father really...Forget it, this matter, it's better not to say.
Leona's father was in a hurry to leave.Seeing her father rush back made Leona feel strange.Her mother said casually, "All of a sudden your father likes to dress up! He used to say he didn't need to dress up too well and no one would notice him. But these few days, I don't know what happened, he suddenly bought a lot of clothes. When I asked, he said that your grandmother bought them for him!""Since when has Grandma been so nice?" Leona's mouth dropped open in disbelief."Yes, it's very strange." Her mother's eyes flickered and she said, "It's a good thing that your grandmother was kind to your father!"Leona thought about that, and it was true.Forget it, men don't like shopping.She guessed her father didn't like shopping, so he was looking for an excuse to go.No problem, Mom and Dad were staying here tonight anyway.She could buy it herself first, and if it didn't fit, she could bring it back and exchange it!Leona took her mom's hand and happily walked to the mall.Every time h
At that moment of helplessness, the person she most wanted to see was actually him!Leona hurriedly got up from her chair to pick up the phone, and a deep, magnetic voice sounded from the other end, "Why did it take you so long to pick up?""Archie... what should I do..." Leona closed her mouth and turned to the restaurant door, no longer able to control her aggression and uncertainty. "I saw Dad! Dad said he was going to Grandma's to help her, but now he's sitting in the same restaurant as us, and... he's on a blind date!"Archie gripped his cell phone, the corners of his eyes raised quickly, the helplessness at the bottom of his eyes impossible to hide.She finally knew.If she knew that her father wasn't just on a blind date today, but had been for over a week... would she be more upset?"Don't cry, where are you? I'll be right there!" Archie quickly replied, "If you don't want to ruin the perfect family disguise for a while, I'll take you away!""I don't know what to do! Archie, s
This was probably the most fatal blow to Mom!Grandma's cruelty and torture, the pressures of life, and the busyness of work were nothing compared to Father's betrayal!What could she do? How could she talk to her father about it?Leona returned to her room where Archie was on the phone.Seeing Leona return, Archie signaled for her to wait a moment and continued the conversation on the phone.Archie's phone call was short and to the point, and after he ended the phone call, he said to Leona, "Do you want me to accompany you?"Leona wanted to shake her head, but she nodded like a ghost.Right now, she didn't even have anyone to discuss her ideas with.Although she and Archie were just a contact couple, he was willing to offer his help, so it was better not to refuse!Otherwise, you really don't have anyone to discuss with..."Your father just finished meeting with someone and is preparing to meet with the next person. The address is at Island Coffee." Archie's voice was calm and he sai
The Manley Company is a very large company.After Leona's father said the two words "Manley Company", the woman's attitude changed drastically from arrogance to respect!This woman was right, even a cleaning lady working at the Manley Company made thousands of dollars a month!Not to mention the other positions!This was also the reason why Leona once said that none of her colleagues at the company drove cheap cars.Being able to work at the Manley Company is already high-paying."Since you already have a daughter, why do you insist on having a biological child?" The woman said to Leona's father with a smile, "Regarding your marriage, does your daughter agree?"Although Leona was eavesdropping, she couldn't help but praise this woman when she heard those words!No wonder Father looked at this woman differently, this woman really was smarter than most people!Wise and realistic women tend to see things accurately.As expected, the expression on Leona's father's face froze, obviously a
