However, she was already three or four years older than Leon. She preferred men that were more mature, so she never had any such intentions for Leon.In her eyes, she did see Leon as a brother.At least, that was the way she thought!At the front gate, Snow looked around and said curiously, "Hey, Leon, where's your car?""My car is there," Leon pointed at the motorcycle in the garage."A bike? You rode a bike here? You didn't drive?" Snow was surprised."Yes, I don't have a driver's license," Leon smiled awkwardly."You don't have a driver's license? Haha, how could you not have one in this day and age?""Why are you so funny?" Snow could not stop herself from laughing. When she laughed, she looked stunning.Leon was speechless, and he felt even more awkward.He was considered the top young man in his generation by all the major families in Springfield City, but he did not even have a license. It really was quite embarrassing."Alright, I'll stop laughing at you now, but you
"Iris, w-what happened?" Elder Young was shocked as he hurried over to help Iris take a seat."Did Leon say no to getting back together?" Gilbert's expression changed as he vaguely started to understand.Iris did not answer. She started to sob even harder on the table, unable to stop her tears at all.Only after losing something would you understand how valuable it was.Back then, she spent every day with Leon. Leon never held back in his care for her, but she never treasured it properly.Even after breaking up with Leon, she always felt like Leon was still by her side, never leaving because there were so many traces of Leon at home and the company.Yet, when she found out that Leon was Cynthia's boyfriend, she finally realized that she completely lost him!It was a huge blow to her!At that moment, she regretted it. She should not have broken up with Leon for the sake of the family, and she started to deeply regret not trusting Leon!If she just believed Leon unconditionally
However, due to his mistakes, he ruined a beautiful relationship with his granddaughter. He did blame himself quite a bit for it. It was just a pity that they were already past the point of any return!"I-" Iris felt even sad.She knew very well that Elder Young and Gilbert both held a lot of responsibility for what happened.However, they were still her family. Her break up with Leonw was already set in stone, what was the point of blaming them?Leon would no longer return to her side!"Please, it's just a man! Iris, you're still the top of the four beauties of Springfield City and the heiress of the Youngs. Do you have to be so sad for a man? You'd be laughed at if word got out!"At that moment, a laugh of disdain was heard as Daisy walked inside.Daisy already heard about Iris planning on getting back together with Leon from Gilbert.Seeing how sad Iris was, she did not even need to guess to know that Leon rejected Iris!It was amazing news for her. The smile on her face
Of course, if she was able to believe in Leon so unconditionally from the start, they would not have broken up!"It's up to you if you want to believe it or not, but I won't say any more!" Daisy smiled in disdain.She just wanted to deliberately instigate Iris a little. Leon was not willing to get back together with Iris anyway, so it was not important if Iris believed in it or not!Just as Iris and Daisy were staring at each other, a frantic set of footsteps were heard. Randy quickly walked inside."Elder, the Northern King is here with his men. He says he has something very important he wants to meet you for," Randy said."The Northern King, Harold Lowe? The Youngs have never had many dealings with him before, so why is he here?" Elder Young and Gilbert were shocked."Randy, bring him in," Elder Young said, wanting to see what Harold's goal was. "Yes," Randy answered before he left.Iris was in an incredibly bad mood. She was in no condition to continue arguing with Daisy.
The greatest forces in Springfield City were the four families, but the two Kings were no slouches! In the past, political marriages were not uncommon between major families. However, they were usually to forge alliances, and both sides were equal.Yet, Harold mentioned being subordinate to the Youngs. They were willing to work under the Youngs.It was like how the Four Tigers served under the two Kings!It was obvious how much Harold was offering for the marriage!"Northern King, are you joking? This isn't funny at all!" Elder Young said."I'm not joking. Everything I said is serious!" Harold said sincerely."But why? You're one of the top figures in Springfield City. This isn't like you at all!" Elder Young was full of disbelief.Everyone knew that the two Kings stood at the top of the underworld. They were both very powerful figures!He did not think that Harold would join the Youngs just like that. It did not seem real!If he trusted Harold so easily, then all his experi
Harold continued to add oil to the fire."But-" Elder Young was still hesitant.He was the head of the Youngs, there was no way he did not know the threat they posed!However, Leon saved his life before. He already wrongly accused Leon once. If he targeted Leon again, it would be completely immoral!"Elder Young, don't worry. With the Dragon Corps around, there's no way we can kill Leon and the Shears! I just think that the Youngs will grow much stronger after I join you, and you'll stand at the top of the four families!"Then, you'll be able to summon up the other families to work together and destroy Cynthion Group or even threaten Leon to split the profits. That would be enough! We can let Leon and the Shears monopolize everything no matter what!" Harold advised, but there was a cold glint in his eyes.His target was not as simple as just Leon!"Dad, I think the Northern King is right! We can't just let Leon and the Shears grow. Otherwise, our profits might suffer. We might e
"Iris, the Northern King is right. No matter how you look at it, Jacob is the best choice!" Gilbert hurriedly said.The four great families were always competitors. None of them ever regarded the other highly, so there were never any marriages between them.Other than the four great families, the strongest forces in Springfield City were the two Kings. The Northern King was even stronger than the Southern King!Both Theodore and Anson were known playboys as well. They were not very reliable.However, Jacob was different. He never had a bad reputation, and he was seen as a better man than Theodore and Jacob.In the end, in terms of political marriages for the Youngs, Jacob was the best choice in Springfield City."Iris, even if you have no feelings for Jacob right now, feelings can be slowly built up. I think you can just get engaged to him for a moment, and the two of you can try dating for a bit," Elder Young said in a low voice. He felt like Jacob was a decent man too.When it
Elder Young tried very hard to convince Iris."That's right! Iris, both your grandfather and I just want the best for me!" Gilbert nodded."The best for me? That's what you always say! If you did want the best for me, Leon and I wouldn't be in this state!" Iris started to cry from her frustration. Her tears constantly flowed out.At that moment, all the sadness she suppressed in her heart exploded!"You had no evidence back then, but you forcibly split me and Leon apart! Now, for the sake of the family, you're planning on sacrificing me, giving me to a man I don't love! Have you ever thought about how I feel?" Iris get sadder as she spoke. She could do nothing to stop the tears from falling down her face.She thought that her grandfather loved her, and would not use her marriage for the sake of profit!Yet, she was blinded. She was constantly disappointed by her grandfather!"Iris, that's not what I mean. I'm not planning on sacrificing you for profit. I just want you to start a
