Chapter 111 Fabiola

“Mr. Moore!”******Eugene woke up to find himself lying on a patient bed.“Leah.”The first thing out of his mouth was her name.“The tendon in your right hand is injured. We observed some light concussion and a bit of blood clot, but they shouldn’t pose an issue.”Leah stood by the windows with her back against the light, leaving him with the sight of her lovely silhouette.When Eugene was in a coma, Tristan filled in Leah with the details of the car crash.Tristan claimed that Jasper had not slept at all. He found Eugene in the study filled with suffocating cigarette smoke in the morning.“I think he must have lost his focus because he didn’t sleep well. His headache might haveaffected his driving as well.”Leah was aware of the intensity of Eugene’s headache. For that reason, he had rarely drivenhimself anywhere in recent years.He had pulled off sleep deprivation, heavy smoking, and refusal of medical treatment in one day.“Who are you torturing yourself for? Jessica might feel

Chapter 112 The list

Susan was prepared to take the bullet for everyone else as long as Lyla and Colene were not implicated“Why didn’t you tell me? You should have known better than my daughter! Didn’t you feel badwatching her living in hell?”Jerome was taking out his anger on Susan.“Jerome, it’s all my fault.”Susan slowly rose from her seat. She couldn’t be more humble as the proud daughter of the Lovelace Family. “Don’t blame it on Leah. Fault me instead. I did not pay enough attention to her.”Leah felt her chest tightened. She was about to defend Susan when the hot–tempered Coleneshot up from the couch and blurted out, “Don’t blame it on Susan! I’m responsible too! I knewabout Leah’s marriage from the start!”“What?” Jerome’s eyes popped out of his head.“M–Me too…” Lyla meekly raised her hand. “I knew about it… way before this.”“Lyla, even you are involved… They are a bad influence on you!” His head was spinning when he learned that the innocent Lyla had learned to lie.Tears filled Leah’s eyes

Chapter 113 Her shoe size

“A name list of your suitors.”Jerome looked amused.Everyone was dumbfounded at his announcement. Even Fabiola, who had impeccable manners, dropped her utensils in shock. Marcel almost spat out his coffee and was coughing with a red face.“Jerome!”Leah sprung up with a sharp frown. “You’re taking revenge against me, right? That’snot very gentlemanly!”“Revenge is sweet.” He took a casual sip of his coffee. “Anyway, why would I take revenge on my daughter? I know you’re low profile, but the news of the divorce will spread in our circle soon.They’ll be laughing at you. If Eugene is marrying someone new after the divorce, I’d doanything to make sure you have what he’s having.”“So, if he gets the case of the crazies, do I get that too?” She fired back with a snicker.“Anyway, I have made the decision. I rushed Neil to compile a list overnight covering bachelors ofyour age from similar family backgrounds in the nation. Get ready to meet with at least five ofthem weekly, starting next

Chapter 114 The hickey

Leah’s lashes fluttered. Eugene’s knowledge gave her the goosebumps.“How did you know I am a size 5.5?”He remained stoic. “Your feet look tiny. It was a blind guess.”She curled her feet in the slippers awkwardly but did not forget to take a dig at him. “All men arethe same. They’re either leering or openly touching the opposite sex”He went silent. Deep down, he knew he wasn’t being upfront. He learned about her shoe size only because he had carefully scrutinized every single item she left behind at his house.He also learned that she had a stockpile of snacks at home, like a squirrel collecting nuts. Most of them are chocolates. Her favorite perfume was La fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens, which he remembered well.At first, he thought the spicy scent did not suit her. Looking back, he was wrong. The arrogant and intense scent was created just for her.He learned about her shoe size. Her collection of white shoes was laid out cleanly on the shoe rack, as though she would return at

Chapter 115 Go home

Leah paused for a while before saying coldly, “I’m fine, but Tessa might not be.”Eugene’s eyes darkened as he tightened his grip on Celia’s wrist.“Ouch! Eugene, let go! It hurts!” Sweating from the pain,Celia was close to tears. He finally let go of her wrist.Celia stumbled backward and fell onto the ground from the strong impact.“Eugene, that bitch started it! She threw her slippers at me! Look at the mark on my face–that’s the evidence!”Punching the ground between sobs, she grumbled, “How could you blindly side with an outsider who beats up your sister at home?”Surprisingly, he did not so much as give Celia a look. Instead, he turned to Leah. “Are you reallyokay?”Leah secretly rolled her eyes and ignored him. Instead, she hurried over to Tessa and squattedon the floor, gently caressing Tessa soft hair.“Leah!” Tessa immediately went into her embrace and sobbed. She had never shed a tear when Celia hit her. However, she lost control of her tears when she saw Leah.“Hey, don’

Chapter 116 In heartbreak

“Why?” Tears streamed down Jessica’s face, like a damsel in distress. Sarah had taught her this move because men would fall for it.“Good question. Why?” Everyone heard Leah’s voice from the top of the stairs. Looking over, they found her carrying a suitcase with ease and pompously made her way down with her chin held high.She was the embodiment of grace and charm, a stark contrast to Jessica’s gloominess.Jessica hugged Eugene tightly with a sparkle in her eyes. She glowered at Leah.Everyone was anticipating drama at this point.With a hard look in his eyes, Eugene placed his hands on Jessica shoulders in an attempt to push her away. However, Leah mistook the action as a flirtation.“So, that was why he insisted I pick up my stuff at his place. How else would I have stumbledupon their public display of affection?”Leah thought.Her only wish at that moment was to take a bath and change into a fresh outfit at home. She definitely needed to take off her current outfit and throw it ou

Chapter 117 Butterfly knife

The color drained from Brad’s face. Before he knew it,Leah had pressed the butterfly knifeagainst his neck.The butterfly knife was the most notorious of all weapons, as it was insidious and lethal. Itperched precariously on the end of one’s fingers, striking a perfect balance between style and deadliness.How cruel and heartless of a woman to fight him with a butterfly knife.“Stop pestering me,Brad.” She narrowed her eyes and gently slapped the reflectiveblade against his cheek. “I would never pick you even if there were no men left in this world.”“What if there were only me and Eugene in this world? Who would you pick?” he asked in ashaking voice and a trembling heart.She snickered. “Not you.”His heart instantly shattered into pieces.The door to her office opened at that moment.“Leah, what are you-” Jason stood at the door in shock.She squinted and swiftly tucked away her butterfly knife. Putting on a bright smile, she chirped.”Jason, why didn’t you tell me you were comin

Chapter 118 No coincidence

He wasn’t about to risk his life fighting in the underground rings again! Nor was he about to become another rich cougar’s boy toy!“Because… because he has eyes for someone else now…” Jessica’s eyes reddened as tears welled up in them.She continued, “What can I do? He doesn’t love me anymore. You want money from me, yet I can’t even get through to him for my own needs. You could kill me for all I care, and he still wouldn’t budge!”“Is–Is there no other way?” the man asked hurriedly.“Maybe… maybe if that other woman were no longer in the picture, things would change for the better…” Jessica was sobbing by now, though there was a sly glint in her eyes.“Do you want me to-?” The man made a cutting motion across his throat.Jessica looked up at the man, saying, “So long as you can help me ensure she never interferes in my relationship with Eugene, I can give you all that you want.”She even caressed his cheek, her eyes turning soft and warm. “You could ask for fifty million, and I wou

Chapter 119 Prying eyes

Now Orlander and Minnie were truly starstruck.Jerome King’s daughter? The powerful Jerome King?“Y–You’re Mr. King’s daughter?” Orlander gasped, looking Leah up and down.Behind Leah, Josh scowled just the slightest. “People usually whip out their credit cards, nottheir fathers.”“Yes. Mr. Ezra and Mr. Eugene are aware of this as well.” Leah grinned. “We’ve met.”Eugene looked away briefly, thinking, “We’ve met? Was that all?”She spoke as if they were mere strangers.“Ah, so you’re all acquainted!” Orlander chuckled heartily. As someone experienced in politics, he knew just when to change his tune. “I’m terribly sorry for my ignorance, Ms. King!”He then shook Leah’s hand.“I’m sure I’m just an equal business match as Mr. Ezra, no?” Leah’s words sounded light on thesurface but carried an imposing sense behind them.Orlander blinked rapidly. He found it amazing how someone so young could already carry such an imposing air. Like father, like daughter, he thought.Eugene gritted his

Chapter 120 One condition

“I appreciate the thought, Mrs. Hodgson.”Leah nodded kindly. “But I’m a divorcee with nointention of remarrying anytime soon. I’d only waste you and your son’s time in that regard.”“Oh, never! So what if you’ve divorced? You’re still a gorgeous, strong young woman, far more formidable than many other women your age!”Celia’s cheeks grew hot with embarrassment and anger upon hearing this. She shot Leah a hateful glare, feeling like a fading star beside a bright sun. With Leah around, nothing else evershone.Leah and Josh soon left in the golf cart, leaving the Moore’s to their mess.“Well, Ezra, I take it you’d understand if we call this partnership quits. There will be betteropportunities in the future.” Orlander nodded at Ezra, then quickly left with his wife.If he insisted on giving Ezra this project, nothing good would come.
