"Iris has always been loyal to you, yet you have betrayed her like a beast!" Gilbert roared with a dark expression."Uncle Gilbert, it's not what you think," Leon hastily attempted to explain himself, but was interrupted by Gilbert right away."Forget it. We all saw what happened. There's no way you can talk your way out of this!" Gilbert shouted and turned to look at Iris with frustration. "Iris, I told you a long time ago that you shouldn't trust him, but you just won't listen. Well? Have you finally seen him for who he truly is?""Leon, you disappoint me!" Iris shot Leon a sorrowful look and headed outside."Iris, don't go. Let me explain," Concerned, Leon got up to run after Iris, but was too weak to get out of bed."You had this coming!" Gilbert snorted, before leaving."Leon, good luck!" Louisa sighed and shook her head, before following the two."You scum! This is the price for taking advantage of me just now!" Ruth glared at Leon and left.She never intended to cause co
Like Louisa mentioned, Iris did not place her trust in Leon, causing them to be parted from one another and she would be a fool to repeat the same mistake all over again since they were finally together again.She instantly sobered and turned to stare at Ruth intently. "Ruth, were you telling the truth?""Well," Ruth looked away and stuttered guiltily."Iris, the truth is right before you, so why bother lying to yourself? Leon is not a good man. Just break up with him! I think Anson is a better match for you!" Gilbert said.He preferred Anson as his son-in-law all along and desperately wished that Iris could leave Leon and be with Anson, so that he could return to the Youngs using the Collins' influence."That's right! Iris, I do love you with all my heart!" A luxurious sports car raced over and stopped in front of the yard. Anson opened the door and stepped out of it."Anson, why are you here?" Gilbert hurried over excitedly."Uncle Gilbert, it's been a while," Anson greeted hi
Iris said coldly.She simply did not want to listen to Gilbert's lecture and would never agree to break up with Leon."What? You are making him soup?" Gilbert paled, feeling as though he fell into a pool of ice-cold water. Realizing that all that he said went down the gutter, he hurried after her. "Iris, wait up. Can you stop being so stubborn?"Since Iris and Gilbert both left, Louisa followed them into the living room. "Iris, let me help you with that soup!"Once the three left, Anson and Ruth were the only ones left in the yard."Ruth, I asked for your help to break Leon and Iris up. How is it going?" Anson walked over hastily and asked."I was helping out, wasn't I? What else do you think Gilbert is that angry with Leon?" Ruth said casually.She never planned on getting involved, but accidently gave Anson a helping hand. However, judging from Iris's reaction, it was safe to assume that her trick did not work."That's great! As expected of my sister. You haven't let me down!
"Here's the thing. Ruth wanted the other half of the Mysterious Maiden Method and she," Leon explained the situation briefly."I see!" Iris exclaimed after listening to his explanation.Once she knew that it was all just a misunderstanding, the wariness in her heart vanished."Iris, I'm telling the truth. Will you believe me?" He asked sheepishly, not knowing if she would choose to believe him."Yeah. I believe you!" She beamed at him."Really? I'm so glad!" Leon was overjoyed as he did not expect Iris to believe him so easily and felt much more relaxed."Don't be too excited just yet! I believe you, but this is the last time something like this happens! From now on, you have to keep your distance from Ruth and if something like this happens again, I won't let it go so easily," Iris warned him.Though it was merely a misunderstanding, Ruth was one of the Four Beauties in Springfield City and was almost comparable to her in terms of beauty and demeanor, so Iris saw Ruth as a thre
Leon was shocked and could not believe what he heard. "Are you crazy, Ruth? How can a man and a woman be in the same bed when they aren't even a couple?" Leon roared."Who told you we are sleeping on the same bed? Dream on! I'm sleeping on the bed and you are sleeping on the ground." She said smugly."I see. You scared me for a moment there." He sighed a breath of relief, before coming to a realization. "Hang on. Why should I sleep on the ground? What kind of sick joke is that?""Who's joking? Are you going to make a frail woman like me sleep on the floor?" Ruth retorted.He was rendered speechless as Ruth was hardly frail, not to mention that she invaded his room."What on earth is wrong with you, Ruth Collins? You have your own room, so why do you have to come and sleep in mine?" He questioned in displeasure."It's simple. I told you that I'm not giving a single peaceful moment unless you hand me the other half of the Mysterious Maiden Method!" She said slyly. "If Iris Young se
He agreed to her unreasonable request and tolerated the fact that she robbed him mainly because she saved his life before. If anyone else did such things, he would have shown them no mercy."No way. I want it no!" Ruth said."Why you! Ruth Collins, I'm warning you. You better take the deal. If you continue to be this unreasonable, I will make sure that you never get your hands on the entire Mysterious Maiden Method no matter what you do!" He roared."But," She hesitated when she saw the anger in his eyes.She knew that Leon would have never put up with her if she did not save him and since he already agreed to give her the completed Mysterious Maiden Method in the future, there was no point for her to push Leon to the point where he lost his temper."Alright, then. It's a deal. Don't you dare go back on your words!" She said.His expression eased. "Don't worry. Since I've made you a promise, I intend on keeping it.""Okay. I'll believe you! Dear Mister Wolf, I won't keep you fro
"Leon, what is it? How's my grandpa?" Seeing the look on his face, Iris's heart sank."Iris, Elder Young is in a critical state. I think someone attacked him and damaged his central nerves connecting to his brain, which caused him to fall unconscious," Leon explained.When he first learnt that Albert fell sick, he assumed that Albert's pre-existing illness resurfaced again. However, judging from the current condition, Albert was attacked."What?""T- That's not possible!"Both Gilbert and Iris were stunned.They both thought that Albert's pre-existing illness resurfaced again, like Leon did, and were shocked that Leon would say Albert was attacked instead."What do you think you are talking about? My father has been struggling with his health. You must have treated him in a way that left some kind of side effects back then, causing his pre-existing illness to resurface again! Yet now you are saying that he was attacked? What a joke!" Gilbert said angrily.Albert was already in
"Back when the Holy Doctor saw Grandpa, he reminded me repeatedly to get Leon to look at Grandpa again. I was confused as to what he meant at the time, but looking at it right now, he might have certain difficulties that prevented him from telling us the truth!"Iris recalled the hesitant look on Graham's face when he treated Albert and the more she thought about it, the more she realized that there was more to the story."Iris, it's bad enough that Leon is running his mouth, why are you agreeing along?" Gilbert gaped at Iris."I'm not just agreeing along! Dad, the truth is right before our eyes. Can you stop being so stubborn?" She said angrily, "I was about to listen to Graham's advice and call Leon over, and you were the one who stopped me! If you didn't stop me, Leon would've cured Grandpa a long time ago and the two of us wouldn't suffer this much!"Gilbert was rendered speechless, because he knew that Iris was right.If Leon's diagnosis was accurate, he was extremely foolish
