Leon was incredibly professional. He did not seem to have any other intentions.However, she suddenly thought of what Ashwin said to her.When Leon secured the cooperation of the Shears, Ashwin said that Leon might be incredibly ambitious, and might be working with the Shears to take over the company!That concern was in line with her father and grandfather's worries!Not only that. The last time, Cynthia even shot her a challenging look when they were at Xander's residence as if she was an enemy.Everything was enough to prove that Leon was not as simple as it seemed!Suddenly, she was affected by what Ashwin said earlier, and was even more suspicious of Leon!"Leon, I'm thankful for all that you've done for the company, but it doesn't mean you didn't have your selfish intentions! In the end, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, we should just break up!" Iris said coldly."Very well then." Leon smiled in frustration, and tears started to swell up in his eyes.He n
Leon's heart ached.Even if he was incredibly sad at the moment, he could not reveal his weakness in front of them.He needed to keep his dignity as a man. He straightened his back and left without turning around.Looking at Leon leave so decisively, Iris's heart was a mess. She felt like she lost the most important thing to her."Dad, I don't care if Leon had ill intentions or not. He still gave a lot to the company. He's worked very hard for us. I can't say anything about you having him move out, but why did you kick him out of Elegante?" Iris said unhappily.Even though she was furious at Leon's supposed deceptions, she considered Leon's contributions to the company, and never planned on kicking Leon out."Iris, you have to completely cut off any ties! The matter already progressed to this level. You need to cut him off so he won't be able to trouble you anymore! I'm doing this for your good!" Gilbert said."But-" Iris was still a bit reluctant."There are no buts! I've alre
Mason was dumbfounded."It's nothing."Leon felt like he could not talk to an old man like Mason about his relationship. He poured himself more alcohol and drank it all up again."Mister Wolf, this whiskey's quite strong. You'll get drunk very easily if you drink like this," Mason advised.He could tell that Leon had something on his mind. It was just that there was nothing he could do if Leon did not want to mention it."If I get drunk, then I get drunk. It'll solve my sadness! Isn't that good?" Leon smiled bitterly as he continued to drink."Drink slower. Whatever, I'll join you then!" Mason felt very helpless as he raised his glass to drink with Loen.Ring ring!Suddenly, Leon's phone started to ring. Leon's mood was really bad. He did not know who called and was in no mood to answer."Mister Wolf, your phone is ringing," Mason said."It's fine, ignore it." Leon waved it off.However, they did not give up and called him three times in a row.Leon could not take it an
Even though he was quite a good drinker, his face was thoroughly red after continuously drinking so much. His eyes looked like they were clouded in drunkenness.However, Mason thankfully realized that the situation was not good, and had his subordinates exchange the whiskey for beer, which was less strong. Otherwise, Leon would already have been a drunken mess!Creak!At that moment, the door to the room was opened. Cynthia was finally there."Miss Shear, you're here."Mason breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Cynthia called Leon earlier, and knew that Leon was close to the Shears. So, he hurried over to greet Cynthia.Cynthia's eyes swept through everything and saw the mess the room was in. She saw Leon slumped against the table as well. She said in surprise, "Mason, what happened? What's up with Leon?""I don't know the specifics, but I know that Mister Wolf doesn't seem to be in a good mood. He dragged me to drink with him the moment he got here, and he hasn't stopped dri
Leon was stunned as he looked at Cynthia in disbelief.Probably because of his drunken state, he reacted a bit slowly, not understanding what Cynthia meant."T-that's not what I meant," Cynthia blushed, realizing what she said was inappropriate. She quickly changed the topic, "Leon, the two of you were just fine. Why did you suddenly break up?""It's like this," Leon sighed.He was incredibly frustrated at that moment and needed someone to talk to. So, he told Cynthia everything that happened."That father and son pair is too much! You've helped their family time after time, but they ended up repaying you like this? It's despicable! Iris's something else as well. Even I can see that your moral character has always been very upright. There's no way you're someone shady and despicable. Yet, as your girlfriend, not only did she distrust you, she even suspected you of coveting their money. What a joke!" Cynthia said angrily, voicing out the injustice of it all."I don't understand wh
Suddenly, he did not know what to do."Why not? I'm one of the four great beauties of Springfield City, just like Iris. Even though she's ranked ahead of me, I don't lose to her in either looks or background! If you can accept her, why can't you accept me?"Cynthia never expected Leon to reject her so decisively. She paled, and tears swelled up in her eyes.With her looks and her family, multitudes of young heirs and talented men wanted to court her. All of them dream of being with her!Yet, at that moment, she summoned up the courage to confess to a man for the first time in her life, but she was rejected!It was obvious how she would feel!"That-" Leon felt very turbulent in his heart and could not calm down.Cynthia was the second among the four great beauties in Springfield City. She was incredibly beautiful. Any man would feel moved by her.He was a normal man and was naturally no exception.It was just that he always looked at Cynthia as more of a friend, and never held
As for him and Iris, he would talk about it after he could clear his name!It was still too early for him to think about that!"That's right. Where are you staying now, Leon? You drank way too much this time. You probably can't even walk straight. Let me send you home!" Cynthia asked in concern."I, I don't have anywhere to stay at the moment. You can just send me to a hotel nearby," Leon let out an awkward smile. He was going to stay at a hotel for a night before he bought a house the next day."Why would you stay at the hotel? Just come stay at my house for a few days!" Cynthia smiled and grabbed Leon's arm. She acted very intimately as if she was already Leon's girlfriend.Leon's whole body stiffened at the soft feeling coming from his arm. He felt a bit out of place.However, before she could reject it, Cynthia dragged him out of the bar.…At the Shear Mansion, Benedict and Harvey were both surprised to see Leon being helped inside by Cynthia. Leon even looked incredibly d
With her straightforward personality, she saw no reason to hide anything from her grandfather. She decided to just tell him the complete truth."So that's it!" Even though Benedict guessed it, he was still a bit surprised to hear his granddaughter admit it herself."Grandfather, will you oppose me being with Leon?" Cynthia asked with some worry.She knew that Leon was an orphan with no family background. The most fundamental reason behind Leon's break up with Iris was that their family backgrounds were just not compatible.The Shears were one of the four great families in Springfield City just like the Youngs. She was worried that her grandfather would have similar opinions on Leon.She did not want to follow in Iris's footsteps!"Oppose it? Why would I oppose it?" Benedict was curious."Leon's an orphan. He doesn't have a good family. Won't you be unhappy about that?" Cynthia said anxiously."Background has never mattered when it comes to heroes! Leon's incredibly capable, a
