Serena's eyes lit up when she saw what happened, seemingly understanding something. "Leon, I have a few things I want to ask you, I wonder if you'd be fine to answer them," Serene asked."What is it?""I'll answer any questions you have," Leon smiled and said."You're not that young anymore. Do you have a girlfriend right now?" Serena said in a meaningful manner.The moment she heard her mother say that, Lily immediately guessed Serena's intentions. She blushed intensely, and looked down to avoid her mother's gaze, not daring to look at Leon either."No…" Leon shook his head, not elaborating.Even though he did not have a girlfriend, he just got a divorce not that long ago.However, divorce was nothing to be proud of. Since Serena did not ask about it, he did not say anything."I can't believe you don't have a girlfriend when you're so excellent. You have a good character too!" Serena was a little surprised, but her smile deepened.She took a few more looks at Leon, and was
From outside, a pretty young girl who looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven of age walked in with two young men."Rizzy, Richard, why are you here?" Lily was surprised. The young girl in front of her was her uncle's daughter. It was her cousin, Rizzy Plummer.One of the young men behind Rizzy was her cousin-in-law, Richard Lewis.Lily's father left them at a young age, and her mother brought the two of them up by herself.During that time, her uncle and some relatives helped their family a lot. Rizzy was included among them.The two of them grew up together, and they had an incredibly good relationship.When her mother was sent to the hospital, they borrowed a lot of money from Rizzy to pay for it.Whether it was her uncle or Rizzy, both of them did everything they could to help Lily's family, so Lily's family was incredibly grateful."Lily, I heard that Aunt Serena's already out of the hospital. It's the weekend today, so Richard and I weren't working. We came here to visi
Lily's appearance was incredibly beautiful, and she even took the time to dress up nicely that day. She looked incredibly elegant and fresh. Lily was much prettier than Duncan thought. He felt like he never saw such a pure and beautiful woman before.The moment he saw Lily, he was shocked. He felt like Lily was perfect."Mr. Leonard, you're praising me too much…" Lily smiled politely, feeling a little awkward.She just graduated from university not too long ago, so she felt like she was still very young, and did not need to be looking for marriage just yet.However, Rizzy still did it out of the kindness of her heart. If it were any ordinary time, she would have gone through with it just for Rizzy's sake.However, the situation was a little unusual that day. They invited Leon over to thank Leon for helping them.Rizzy suddenly wanted to introduce her to a man. Surely she could not do that in front of Leon?Furthermore, she was already starting to fancy Leon a little, so she did
Since Rizzy already saw through it, Serena admitted it willingly. That way, Rizzy would stop trying to set Lily up with others, and it would save them some trouble."How could you do that?!" "Aunt Serena, Leon's famous for being useless, and he's a divorcee. How could he be worthy of Lily?!" “Were you fooled by him?!" Rizzy's jaws almost dropped on the floor in disbelief. "What? Useless? A divorcee?" "Rizzy, could you be mistaken?!" Serena looked at Rizzy in shock and disbelief, not understanding what Rizzy was saying."I'm not mistaken at all!""Aunt Serena, you might not know this, but he used to be married into the Mansons. He was cheated on by Marilyn not too long ago, and was kicked out of the household without anything to his name…" Rizzy briefly recounted everything.She still worked with the Mansons, and she knew a bit about Leon's divorce from Marilyn. She knew that Leon was kicked out by Marilyn!Marilyn even had someone else's child. Someone as useless as Leon w
"Enough! You don't have to pretend!""We're both men here, don't think I don't know what you were thinking!""I'm telling you, trash like you should know your place. Stop thinking about dating above your station!""You're not worthy!" Duncan snorted.Lily was so pretty and pure. Any man would be moved by her looks. He refused to believe Leon did not look at Lily that way.He tried to figure out a way to completely kick Leon out of the running!"You're right, Lily's too good for me, but you're not even comparable to her!" Leon had a dark look on his face, having been angered by Duncan's arrogance."Brat, do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this?!" "Are you sick of living?!" Duncan shouted out angrily as he looked at Leon hatefully.If he was not trying to leave a good impression on Lily, he would have rushed forward to teach Leon a lesson right then!"Leon, shut up right now!""What right would a piece of trash like you have to even argue with Mister Leonard?
There was a mocking laugh as Bowden walked over with seven or eight muscular, fierce-looking young men. The frontman looked to be about thirty years of age. He had a lot of tattoos on his arms and neck, and he seemed incredibly fierce. He did not look like someone to be trifled with at all.He was Walter Grim, Bowden's cousin."Bowden, what are you doing here?!" Lily's expression changed.Both Jared and Serena's looks darkened as well.Even Rizzy and Richard were shocked at being surrounded by so many fierce-looking people."What do you think?!""Of course, I'm here for revenge on Leon? What else could I be doing?!" Bowden laughed coldly."Bowden, we've been neighbors for so many years. W-what are you trying to do?" Serena said with a sour look on her face."Aunt Serena, since you're an elder, I'll be frank with you!" "This time, Leon might have been the main culprit behind me being fired from the hospital, but your family helped him too. I won't let any of you off easily."
Walter nodded as his expression turned a bit serious."Since you've heard of my father, get lost quickly!" Duncan coldly snorted as he held his head up high."Walter, this…" Bowden started to panic, not knowing what to do.He planned things out perfectly, but he never expected someone like Duncan to appear. Walter's father seemed capable, so he could not offend the man.However, he refused to leave empty-handedly!"Mister Leonard's still the best. He's much better than some useless piece of trash!" Seeing what was happening, Rizzy was elated. She gave Duncan a thumbs up before looking at Leon with even more disdain."That's right, it's all thanks to Mister Leonard…" Serena and Lily both shot looks of appreciation at Duncan.Walter's men did not seem like people they could handle at all, so they placed all their hopes on Duncan.Being praised by everyone like that, Duncan could not help but look over at Leon.After what happened earlier, he already looked at Leon as his love ri
"However, if you have the guts to try and do anything again, I guarantee you that I'll cripple you!" Walter looked at Duncan coldly. There was even a murderous glint in his eyes!His expression looked like a poisonous snake that was about to strike. Duncan could not help but shiver as a child went through his heart.He knew that he was facing someone from the underworld. They could do anything, so he was not just scaring him."Good, very good. I'll remember that slap. Just wait and see!" Duncan was terrified. After those harsh words, he hurriedly scrambled to the side, not daring to face the other party head-on.Everything happened far too quickly. Serena, Lily, and the others felt like a bucket of cold water was just poured over them. They quickly sank into depression. The sliver of hope they had earlier was extinguished."Mister Leonard, don't go. You can't just leave my aunt and my cousins like that…" Rizzy grabbed Duncan's arm anxiously."I know, I won't just leave them…" Dun
