Jacob smiled coldly. Before Leon left the Youngs, he publicly decided to get engaged to Cynthia. Many of the Youngs and the Lowes heard it, including Jacob.It was precisely because he guessed that Leon planned on abandoning Iris that Jacob decided to go for Iris and Gilbert behind Leon's back without any fear!"How would that be? I'm clearly the person Leon loves. Why does he want to get engaged to Cynthia?"Iris paled as she stumbled, almost falling to the ground.She already found out that Leon was not Cynthia's boyfriend. She planned on going to look for Leon to get back together, but before she could even do that, Leon already decided to get engaged to Cynthia!It was obvious how it would impact her!At that moment, she finally understood why Leon returned Elegante to her, and even gave her a final farewell!Leon was actually serious. It was no joke at all!Leon might have been too hurt by her, and planned on forgetting his feelings for her because of that, choosing to g
"Jacob, let me go right now! I'm warning you. Even if I have to die, I won't marry you!" Iris frantically struggled as she shouted angrily.Jacob put his hand on Iris' chin, sneering, "Iris, I know you're too proud, and that you look down on me.""It's fine, even if I can't get your heart, I'm more than happy to just get you! Take her away!" With a wave, Jacob motioned for those two experts to bring Iris away.Looking at that scene, Gilbert and the others were hopeless. They wanted to rush forward to stop it, but Marco and the other martial artists were too threatening. It would be difficult for them to even get close, let alone stop it."Stop right there!" At that moment, a cold shout was heard as Anson brought a few of his men ove.r"Mister Collins, it's you! Why are you here?" Jacob was stunned and surprised.Anson did not answer. He looked at the two experts with their hands on Iris and shouted out with a dark expression, "Jacob, how dare you be so impolite to Iris? Have
Iris was no longer a part of the Youngs, so he could pursue Iris without any worries. His chances of success were very high as well, so how could he just watch on as Jaocb used despicable means to take Iris away?! "Mister Collins, she's just a woman. It's nothing that amazing! We're both friends. Are you really going to turn against me for a woman?" Jacob said coldly."I should be the one asking you that!" Jacob, are you sure you want to make an enemy out of me and the Collins?!" Anson said coldly."You!"Facing Anson's threats, Jacob suddenly felt incredibly uncertain.The Lowes might not be able to face the Collins, who were one of the four great families, head on, but his father already seized control of the Youngs.With the Youngs' help, he would not be afraid of the Collins at all, nor would he be afraid of Anson!However, thinking about his father's grand plans, he hesitated. Their greatest enemy at that moment was Leon. His father planned on dealing with Leon and the S
He came to help them in such a dire moment. Right when Iris and Gilbert needed help the most, he planned on taking the chance to help Iris in hopes of winning her favor!It happened precisely as he wanted to. He came in like a knight in shining armor to save Iris, and Iris's impression of him improved a lot."You came to help us?"Gilbert was surprised.The Collins were one of the four great families. They had incredible power and wealth. If he could secure Anson and the family's help, it would be much easier for him and Iris to get back to their family or even seize control of the family!"That's right! Mister Young, if you need my help in any way, I'll definitely do my best for you!" Anson said."Good, that's amazing! Anson, if you can help me and Iris return to the Youngs, the two of us will be endlessly grateful!" Gilbert could not help but laugh happily.He knew that Anson was only willing to help because Anson was after Iris.If it were before, he would never have conside
"Basically I'm going to explain everything to him right now. I might be able to get him back!" Iris said firmly. As she said that, she turned around and walked out."No, you can't go! Leon is already something of the past. You should keep looking forward. Anson is your best choice at the moment!" Gilbert pushed his wheelchair and hurriedly tried to stop IRis.In truth, he stopped Iris in one part because Leon was about to get engaged to Cynthia, but the other part was because of Anson's pursuit of Iris.Even though Leon was incredibly capable, Leon was still an orphan in the end. Even if Leon was willing to get back together with Iris, Leon would not be able to help him return to the family that much.However, Anson was different. If Iris could accept Anson, then with the power and wealth of the Collins, it would not be that difficult for him to regain control of the family!"Dad, you kept on forcibly interfering with me and Leon for the sake of the family in the past, causing m
Leon was his greatest love rival. As long as Leon and Iris failed to get back together this time, he could take the opportunity to fill Iris's broken heart!Just thinking about it made him happy!At the Shear Mansion, one of Leon's hands was wrapped in bandages as he recuperated on the bed.Since he took a Dragon Pill when he was at the Youngs, he was in a period of weakness, and felt powerless.By his side, Cynthia was taking care of Leon. She had some medicine meant for helping with replenishing blood in her hand, feeding Leon as she showed a happy smile on her face.She waited for Leon for so long, and her hard work finally paid off. She was finally with Leon.It was obvious how happy she was!Her smile never left her face from the moment she got back.At that moment, footsteps were heard. One of the guards quickly walked over from outside."Miss Shear, there's a girl outside called Iris Young who says she wants to meet Mister Wolf for something," The guard reported."Iris
"I'm fine, it's just some minor injuries." Leon smiled calmly.Even though things between him and Iris did not end that happily, he was still close to Ariel and Louisa. They were his two good friends.He felt very warm in his heart at their concern."Leon, I'm sorry. I hurt you so much," Iris said regretfully."It's fine, I did it all willingly," Leon smiled in a nonchalant manner.Love was something where one did not expect anything in return anyway. He sacrificed so much for Iris willingly.He could not blame anyone else for it."Miss Young, did you need me for something?" Leon asked in a straightforward manner, even changing what he called Iris.Since he decided to give up on his feelings for Iris and was about to get engaged to Cynthia, he needed to clearly draw the line with Iris and keep a distance. That was basic.Iris felt a stab in her heart at the term of address.However, she knew that it was all her own doing. If she did not constantly hurt Leon, then her relation
At that moment, it was incredibly hard for him to keep calm. His firm will start to sway a little."Leon, you can't say yes!" Cynthia paled as she looked at Leon with worry.She knew of Leon's feelings for Iris, and she could tell that Leon was starting to sway as well. If there were no surprises, Leon would probably leave her and return to Iris's side.Just thinking about that made her incredibly sad.Seeing Cynthia so sad was like a wake up call for Leon.If it was before, he would probably have agreed to get back together with Iris.However, he already agreed to get engaged to Cynthia. It was just not too long ago that he made Cynthia a lifelong promise as well.If he went back on his words, it would definitely hurt Cynthia immensely!He would not do that to Cynthia.When he just broke up with Iris, he felt the pain deeply. It was a kind of pain that pierced through his heart and seeped into his bones. He was almost completely drowned by the pain.Since he did not want t
