Ch. 161..170
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 161
“Alright,” Leon nodded, tidying up his things before he left with Ariel.
Looking at the two of them leave, the colleagues in the president’s office looked at each other in shock.
They knew that Leon was a presidential secretary. Normally, Leon would be working in the office with Gracie and Lily.
However, Ariel wanted to move Leon into her office. Was it not strange for the two of
them to be alone there?
However, just thinking about the rumor within the company that Leon and Ariel were a couple, everyone had a quick moment of realization. All of them said nothing, but silently remarked that Leon was a lucky man!
At the director’s office of the sales department, Michael quickly heard about Leon moving over to work with Ariel. His expression soured incredibly.
“Despicable! Ariel kept on saying that she had nothing to do with Leon!”
“Now look at them. Both of them publicly moved to the same office to enjoy their love life. How could that be nothing? Do they think I’m stupid?!” Michael was incredibly furious. He picked up the cup on his table and threw it on the ground. The cup immediately shattered.
He lost the bet regarding the agreement with Leon a few days ago. Even though Leon let him off easily, he still refused to accept it. He hated Leon even more instead, feeling like Leon stole his thunder.
With a new reason to hate Leon, he wanted nothing more than to get rid of Leon!
At that moment, the office door was opened. A man about twenty–six or seven of age walked in. the man was tall and incredibly handsome.
The man was called Ashwin Mercer. He was the vice president of the Elegante Group. His power within the company was second to only Iris. Even Ariel was lower on the totem pole than he was.
Other than that, Ashwin’s grandfather was a veteran of the Young Group. He was one of their shareholders and had a lot of influence within the company.
Two years ago, when Iris took over Elegante, Ashwin left the Young Group without any hesitation, following Iris into Elegante and working hard to assist Iris.
The fact that the company managed to develop so quickly in two years was definitely thanks to Iris’s hard work, but Ashwin’s contributions could not be understated either.
It was no exaggeration to say that Ashwin was the biggest contributor under Iris. At the same time, he was recognized as the second most powerful person in the company, while Ariel was only the third.
The two of them were basically Iris‘ left and right hands!
“Mister Duvall, what happened to you?” Ashwin was surprised by the mess on the ground.
“Mister Mercer, you’re back from your business trip?” Michael was shocked, and he hurriedly greeted Ashwin.
“Yes, I just got back this morning. Mister Duvall, what happened? Why are you so angry?” Ashwin asked curiously.
He was the vice president of the company and was in charge of things like procurement of raw materials and purchasing.
He went overseas to discuss and look into the raw materials for the company, and was not at the company until that morning.
“There’s a new president’s secretary called Leon. I don’t know what’s so good about him, but he managed to get Ariel’s interest…” Michael had a sour expression on his face. He was quite good friends with Ashwin, so he did not hide anything as he gave a brief account of the situation.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 162 Iris and Ariel were recognized as the two prettiest women in the company. They were incredibly beautiful, and many people pursued them.
Meanwhile, Ashwin and Michael were recognized as the two most excellent young men in the company. They were very notable figures.
Ashwin was particularly well known. His grandfather was one of the shareholders of the Young Group, so he came from an incredibly wealthy family. Their assets numbered in the tens of millions.
He was also incredibly handsome and elegant. He was more popular and well–liked in the company than Michael. The two of them were the target of affection for a lot of the female employees!
Not only that, but Ashwin was also one of Iris’s most loyal pursuers. He went after Iris for almost two years. He agreed to follow Iris unconditionally to Elegante precisely in hopes that he would win Iris‘ heart.
Probably because Iris and Ariel were best friends, Ashwin and Michael, who were pursuing the two of them, ended up getting closer as well. They were also incredible talents, so they quickly became friends.
Both of them regularly encouraged and helped each other, hoping that the other would be able to win their girl over!
“A secretary? I thought it was something big. He’s just a mere secretary. He’s not even considered a middle–tier executive in the company. Isn’t it suicide for him to go after the same woman as you?!” Ashwin laughed and said.
“Mister Mercer, you’re underestimating Leon. He’s not as simple as you think! You haven’t been to the company, so you might not know some things. The first day Leon entered the company, he managed to get Joseph kicked out of the president’s office.
“After that, he had a great accomplishment by securing the Wick Group’s cooperation …” Michael said viciously. He recounted everything that happened to Ashwin.
“So that’s what’s been happening! He’s quite skilled. Where did he come from…” Ashwin was surprised.
Even though Leon managed to get Joseph kicked out because Ariel helped him, securing the Wick Group’s cooperation was all his own doing.
Just from that alone, his views of Leon improved quite a bit.
“I don’t know, I haven’t looked into it…” Michael shook his head.
“Knowing your enemy is the first step to winning the war. If you want to beat him and get Ariel back, you have to first understand everything about him!” Ashwin
suggested.
“You’re right! How could I have forgotten something so important?!”
There was a glint in Michael’s eyes as he quickly mustered up his spirits, “Mister Mercer, you’re more well–connected than I am. Could you help me look into Leon?”
“Alright, that’s not a problem! Leave this to me!” Ashwin happily agreed.
Leon was an employee of the company. There would be some documentation on him in the human resources department.
With his connections and abilities, as long as he got that document, it would be easy for him to look into Leon1
At the president’s assistant’s office, Ariel worked on her desk, and she had another desk set up for Leon.
Their desks were close together so it would be easier for them to work together.
Even though the office was very spacious, men and women were still different. They were both single and alone in the same room, so the atmosphere was a little strange.
Leon sat behind his desk.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 163
Read The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 163 – He could not help but glance over at Ariel, and he felt his heart bubble.
Ariel was incredibly beautiful. He was incredibly happy to have such a beautiful woman working so closely next to him.
Ariel’s figure was incredibly sexy. As she sat on the desk, her body was in a perfect S- shape. The curves on her figure were incredibly seductive.
Even more incredible was the fact that, from where Leon was moving, as Ariel moved, he would occasionally catch a fleeting glimpse of her chest as her shirt loosened.
It was incredibly exciting and stimulating, and Leon could not stop!
“Leon, have you looked enough?! Why do you keep staring at me?!” Feeling Leon’s unscrupulous gaze, Ariel started to flush. She glared at Leon in embarrassment.
“I–I wasn’t…”
“I wasn’t staring at you, I just have a question I want to ask you….” His sneaky glances were caught, causing Leon to feel incredibly awkward.
“Just ask me if you have a question! Say what you want to say…” Ariel quickly stopped when she realized that she was not being very ladylike.
“It’s fine, I shouldn’t ask that question. I’m worried that you’ll hit me..” Leon shook his head, stopping in his tracks.
“You’re a man, so why are you acting so cowardly?! If you don’t speak up, I’m going to start hitting you!” Ariel scoffed coldly as she raised her fist in a threatening manner.
“Fine, you made me do it! However, you have to promise me that you won’t get angry!
Leon said after some hesitation.
“Fine, I promise!”
“What did you want to ask? Just tell me now!” Ariel urged impatiently.
“It’s nothing much. I just wanted up ask if you’ve been taking the medicines I prescribed you in the car the other day on time?” Leon carefully asked.
He was too direct when he prescribed the medicine the other day, and it angered Ariel. He was kicked out of the car by her on the way.
He still remembered everything clearly. To prevent the same thing from happening again, he tried to be more considerate.
“What prescription?” Ariel was confused and did not manage to react for a moment.
“It’s the treatment for your cramps…” Leon said.
“What? How dare you mention it again. Did you not tease me enough last time?!” Ariel Ariel’s face reddened as she viciously stamped toward Leon.
Leon was frightened, but he was already prepared. He hurriedly stepped back and avoided being attacked by Ariel’s high heels.
“Ariel, what are you doing?! You promised me that you wouldn’t get angry just now! A man’s word is the most important thing, how could you go back on your word?! Leon complained unhappily.
“I’m a girl, not some man. If I feel like it, do you think you can stop me?!” Ariel glared at Leon angrily.
“You…” Leon was unable to say anything back.
“Alright, I’m being serious here. Can you stop messing around?!”
Leon paused before he decided to go all out. He said seriously, “I could tell from your complexion that you still haven’t completely passed your period. It’s not a good sign…
“H–how do you know that my period hasn’t passed yet?”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 164
– Ariel stepped back and looked at Leon in shock.
A woman’s period usually lasted only around six to seven days each month, but she was having it for ten days. Her period kept on continuing without any signs of stopping. It was very unusual.
That was not the main point. The main point was that it was her private affair. She could not understand how Leon knew and in such detail!
It was hard to believe!
“Didn’t I tell you before? I know some medicine. I managed to tell from your complexion…” Leon said simply.
“Are you being serious? Are you trying to lie to me?!” Ariel looked at Leon doubtfully.
The first time Leon said that, she thought that Leon was deliberately teasing her.
Yet, this time, Leon seemed to be able to tell that something was wrong with her body. She was a bit caught off guard. Could Leon really know some medicine?
“Why would I lie to you?! Don’t worry, the medicine I prescribed to you last time works wonders. As long as you take the medicine on time for a week, I assure you that your illness will go away!” Leon said seriously.
“But…” Ariel was still in disbelief.
Her problem already lasted for a few years. She already went to the hospital to see a few gynecologists.
The doctors told her that she needed to take care of herself more and eat healthier. Then, her problem would slowly go away.
It really was so. Her condition slowly got better over the past few years.
Basically, the doctors said that it was just a problem with her constitution. It would need any deliberate treatment, and recklessly treating it would only do her harm.
Yet, Leon had a different opinion from the doctors and urged her to quickly take some medicine to recover.
She thought about it, and felt like Leon was much less reliable than a few specialists!
“Ariel, trust me… Your condition’s much worse than I thought. You must treat it soon. You can’t let it drag on!” Leon said seriously.
He thought that Ariel’s condition was just a small problem, but Ariel’s period actually extended for a few days. It did not seem to be good. It was possible that something would cause her illness to get worse, so treating it earlier would prevent any
surprises.
“Why would I believe you?! You probably heard about this from Iris, or you just randomly guessed it! I won’t fall for your tricks!” Ariel said.
She told Iris about her condition before. With Leon and Iris’s relationship, it was hard to guarantee that Leon did not find out from Iris by accident.
“You… Kindness is just never repaid! When your condition gets worse, don’t blame me for not reminding you!” Leon’s face darkened. He was very unhappy, but could not do anything about it.
“Who knows if you’re acting out of kindness or if you have any other intentions! There’s no way to tell!” Ariel pursed her lips. She no longer wanted to bother with Leon after that and straightened her body to prepare to focus on her work when a surge of pain suddenly came from her abdomen.
She bit her lips and wanted to bear with it, but the feeling got more and more intense.
“Leon, my bag’s on my sofa. Help me bring it over…” Ariel said with a trembling voice.
Leon brought the bag over and quickly saw how pale Ariel’s face was. There were beads of sweat on Ariel’s forehead, and he was shocked, “Ariel, what’s happening?”
“I–it’s nothing…”
“My period’s pretty heavy. I’ll need to go to the washroom to change…”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 165
Ariel said with great difficulty before she grabbed a pad from her bag and got up to leave. Yet, another wave of pain washed over her, and she stumbled before she
started to fall.
Thankfully, Leon reacted quickly. He grabbed her waist and pulled Ariel into his arms.
“Is your illness acting up again?” Leon frowned, quickly guessing what happened.
“I’m fine, I just need to bear with it…”
“Let me go…” The dense smell of a man entered her nose, and Ariel’s face reddened. After that, she struggled half–heartedly, but could not pry Leon’s hands away.
“Nonsense! How could you just bear with this? You should be treated!” Leon’s expression darkened as he forcefully picked Ariel up. Ariel gasped as they headed to the sofa.
“W–what are you doing? L–let me go!” Ariel’s face reddened, and her heart started beating erratically.
She did not know why, it was maybe because she liked dominant men, but she did not reject how intimate Leon was acting. Instead, she suddenly felt like Leon was being very manly!
Next to the sofa, Leon put Ariel on the sofa before he started to prepare himself.
“Leon, w–what are you doing?” Ariel was confused. The pain in her abdomen came again, causing her to shudder.
“I know how to treat your pressure points. I’ll help you,” Leon’s movements were incredibly quick. His fingers started to deftly hit a few pressure points around Ariel’s
abdomen.
“Is there even a point…” Ariel frowned, suspicious of Leon’s medical abilities.
However, before she could finish, a warm sensation started to spread from her abdomen. As the warmth spread, her pain slowly disappeared. Her body suddenly felt more relaxed and comfortable than she ever felt. She could not help but sigh.
“The pain is wearing off! I feel better! Your pressure points worked…” Ariel was incredibly happy.
Before, whenever she had cramps, they would last for at least ten minutes.
Yet, Leon merely hit a few pressure points, and her pain suddenly disappeared.
It was unbelievable!
“Of course it is! I already told you that I knew some medicine, you just refused to believe me!” Leon said with a huff.
“I…” Ariel was speechless.
Last time, Leon was tipsy and unfiltered. She thought that Leon just teased her, which was why she kicked Leon out of the car.
How could she know that Leon was being truthful?!
“I’m sorry, I was mistaken. I apologize..” Ariel smiled shyly, her blush was incredibly dazzling.
“Whatever, it’s already passed. You don’t have to be so polite. Also, I’ve helped you relieve your symptoms for now. You have to follow my prescriptions when you’re back. I guarantee that you’ll get better,” Leon did not forget to say.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you…” Ariel nodded with a blush.
After what happened, she started to trust Leon’s skills. She would no longer doubt Leon’s prescription.
When they were about to end the day, Leon suddenly received a call from an unknown number. It was a call from Elder Shear.
In the flea market, Leon sold the two imperial greens he got to Elder Shear. Elder Shear agreed to carve the residue of the imperial greens into a necklace for him.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 166
Read The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 166 – The necklace was already ready, and Elder Shear called to ask Leon for his address
so he could send the necklace over.
Leon saw that it was about time for him to get off work, so he did not want to trouble Elder Shear. He made an appointment with Elder Shear, and prepared to go over himself to get it after work. He would get to thank Elder Shear as well.
The Shears were one of the four great families of Springfield City, and was the one that kept the lowest profile out of the four.
Their manor was at the foot of a lush, green hill. The scenery was incredibly
beautiful. It looked like a paradise. It looked like an amazing place to hide away and
rest.
In the courtyard, Elder Shear was at the center of the garden and was playing chess.
The man in front of him was a young man about thirty years of age.
The young man had sharp eyes, and looked incredibly dignified. He was Harvey Shear, Elder Shear’s grandson and the most gifted man in that generation. He was the first in line to take over the family.
There was a young and beautiful young girl pushing the wheelchair of an old woman next to Elder Shear and Harvey The two of them smiled as they looked at the chess
match.
The old woman was Phoebe, Elder Shear’s wife. She had a few wrinkles on her face
and looked incredibly kind. She gave off a very friendly feeling.
The beauty behind her was Harvey’s sister, Cynthia.
Cynthia was about twenty–three of age, and her eyes sparkled, She was incredibly beautiful and she had porcelain skin.
She was just like Iris, recognized as one of the four most beautiful women in Springfield City. Iris stood at the top, while she was ranked second.
In terms of looks, she did not seem any worse than Iris. Both of them had their advantages.
“Grandfather, I’ve lost again. Your skills are still so much better than mine,” Harvey sighed sadly, admitting defeat.
“Chess is like life!”
“Harvey, you’re just too young. You get too impatient. You should properly sharpen yourself in the future so you can go further…” Elder Shear smiled.
“Yes, I’ll remember your teachings,” Harvey accepted it willingly.
Elder Shear nodded with satisfaction. In truth, he already knew that Harvey was among the most excellent in his generation. However, he had high hopes for Harvey. He wanted Harvey to keep on improving so Harvey could achieve great things in the
future!
“Cynthia, did you get the necklace I asked you to get?” Elder Shear looked at Cynthia.
“I have,” Cynthia nodded, pulling out two beautiful boxes and putting them on the
table.
After that, she opened the boxes. Two necklaces lay inside.
Both necklaces consisted of emerald–colored stones. It was full of color and shone vibrantly. They looked the same from the outside.
The only difference was one of the pendants was trimmed red, while the other was
blue.
The red one looked warm and elegant, while the blue one looked cool and noble.
The two necklaces were incredibly beautiful.
“How beautiful! It really is Master Summers’s work!” Harvey exclaimed.
The Master Summers they were referring to was a famous jewelsmith in Springfield City, Magnus Summers.
After Elder Shear got the two imperial greens from Leon, he immediately handed them to Master Summers to carve.
After his imperial greens were carved into a pair of bracelets, he extracted to the middle of the two bracelets and made it into two necklaces
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 167
However, the design of the necklace was complicated, so it took a bit more time. Master Summers finally finished his masterpiece.
“Grandfather, Master Summers is the most famous smith of Springfield City. I heard that he already retired for almost ten years. If you didn’t have some dealings with him. in the past, he would not have come out of retirement for this!” Harvey said with a smile.
“That’s right. To get him to help me, I practically had to beg him before he finally decided to give in,” Elder Shear laughed.
“Grandfather, these two necklaces are beautiful, but the center of the imperial greens are the most vibrant parts. This must not be cheap. It’s also a masterpiece that Master Summers made after ten years of not working. There’s an incredible significance to it.”
“Are you just going to give it away for nothing?” Cynthia pouted and did not look very willing.
Imperial green was very rare and valuable. In the market, those two necklaces made of imperial green would be worth at least a million and a half!
It was even the only piece Master Summers made after he retired. Nothing similar would ever appear in Springfield City again. It was not something that you could attach a price to!
“Of course! Since I’ve already promised Leon to give him one after it’s carved, I’ll do it!
“elder Shear nodded and said.
“Grandfather, I know that you really want to thank him for selling you the imperial jade, but a deal is a deal. The moment the money and the goods exchanged hands, you don’t owe each other anything!”
“You don’t have to give him something so valuable!” Cynthia insisted.
“What? Are you interested in these necklaces? Do you like them?” Elder Shear quickly guessed what his granddaughter thought.
“Of course, any girl would like such a beautiful necklace. I like it too!” Cynthia said cheekily.
“If you like them, then pick one of them to wear. It’ll be your birthday in a few days. Take it as a birthday present from me,” Elder Shear smiled and said.
All of Elder Shear’s grandchildren were men other than Cynthia, so Elder Shear really loved his only granddaughter. He loved her even more than Harvey.
“How could I pick one?! I like both of them. I want them both. Grandfather, why don’t you give me both of them?” Cynthia hugged her grandfather’s arms and said cutely.
“These two necklaces are practically the same, isn’t one enough? Why would you
want both?” Elder Shear was very curious.
“No, these Twin Stars of the Sea are different!” Cynthia shook her head.
“Twin Stars of the Sea?” Elder Shear was confused.
“Grandfather, you don’t know this, but these necklaces are called the Stars of the Sea. It’s a name Master Summers helped me give them.”
* A
“The red one is called the Red Star of the Sea. The blue one is called the Blue Star of the Sea…” Cynthia explained.
“So that’s what it is! It’s a very elegant and meaningful name,” Elder Shear laughed.
“That’s right!”
“The Twin Stars of the Sea. They are twins. It would be cruel to split them apart!”
“Why don’t you give these stars to me?” Cynthia said cutely.
“That won’t be possible!”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 168
“I’ve already promised Leon. How could I go back on my word?! I’m the head of the Shears. If I go back on my words, I’d be a laughing stock!” Elder Shear had a serious
and adamant look on his face.
He loved his granddaughter. He would have never disappointed her if this was anything else, but it involved his family’s reputation. He could not joke around with
that.
“But…” Cynthia still wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Elder Shear.
“There are no buts. If you want it, then pick one of them. If you don’t, then I’ll just give both of them to Leon so we won’t have to separate the twins,” Elder Shear said.
“Of course, I want one! I’ll just take one then. It’s better than nothing!” Cynthia was forced to accept it, picking the Red Star of the Sea and holding it dearly.
Not too long later, Leon arrived at the Shears household. A guard led him to the garden, and Leon met the group.
“Elder Shear, it’s been a while,” Leon smiled and greeted Benedict.
“Leon, you’re here. Let me introduce you. This is my wife. Meanwhile, these two are my grandson, Harvey, and granddaughter, Cynthia,” Benedict had a friendly smile on
his face as he made brief introductions.
“Hello,” Leon politely greeted.
He was a bit surprised at how beautiful Cynthia was. It was the first time he saw anyone who could compete with Iris on that front!
“Please, have a seat,” Phoebe said kindly. Harvey was very friendly as well.
Only Cynthia pouted as she looked at Leon unhappily. She secretly blamed Leon for stealing her Blue Star of the Sea.
Leon rubbed his nose. He could feel that Cynthia was not that friendly to him, but he did not know why. He did not take it to heart.
“Leon, I’ve completed what I promised you. I’ll give you this necklace. Are you happy with it?” elder Shear smiled and gave Leon the Blue Star of the Sea.
“Elder Shear, thank you. This necklace is beautiful. I’m very happy with it,” Leon had a happy look on his face as he looked at the necklace in his hand.
The necklace was far more beautiful than he thought. Both the color and the
carvings were impeccable. There was not a single blemish to be seen.
It looked cool and noble. It suited Iris a lot. They were a perfect match!
“Of course! My grandfather spent a lot of effort to convince Master Summers to carve it. You’re lucky!” Cynthia said with a scoff. Her tone was very sour.
Even though Leon did not know who Master Summers was, he could easily guess that Master Summers was an amazing smith. Otherwise, there was no way he could make such a perfect masterpiece.
“Cynthia, don’t be rude!” Benedict looked at his granddaughter unhappily.
Cynthia was not happy, but she did not dare to be stubborn with her grandfather.
“Elder Shear, thank you for this. If you need my help with anything in the future, just let me know. I’ll do my best to assist you,” Leon smiled thankfully. He noted down Benedict’s favor in his heart.
“No need to thank me, it’s nothing much.”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 169
The Shears were among the top four families in Springfield. They had a lot of How could he have anything he needed Leon’s help with?
power.
If he really met a problem that the Shears could not solve, then there was no way Leon would be able to help anyway.
“Leon, it’s almost dinner time. Why don’t you stay and have dinner?” Phoebe said
with a smile.
“No, I don’t want to impose…”
Leon excused himself and prepared to leave when he suddenly glanced at Phoebe’s face. He could vaguely see dark energy on Phoebe’s brow.
Thé dark energy was vague. If he was not that well–learned in medicine, he would not have noticed it.
“Leon, what is it?”
Seeing Leon stop in his tracks, Benedict and his family were curious.
“Elder Shear, please forgive me for being direct. Madam Shear has a dark aura on her brow. It’s a bad omen. She might not have much longer to live…” Leon said after some hesitation.
“What?”
“My grandmother’s perfectly healthy. How could she not have long to live? What nonsense are you saying?!” Cynthia was furious as she glared at Leon angrily.
“Leon, I gave you the necklace out of the kindness of my heart. It’s fine if you’re not thankful, but you’re even cursing my wife. You’re crossing the line!” Benedict was furious too. He had a dark look on his face.
His wife and he spent over fifty years together. They loved each other deeply.
It was obvious how furious he was at Leon for being rude to his wife!
He was already holding back by not blowing up on the spot!
“Elder Shear, don’t misunderstand me. I actually know a bit of medicine…”
“Earlier, I could tell from Madam Shear’s complexion that she may have suffered some nerve damage from a brain infection that paralyzed her legs…”
“It’s quite serious. The illness is already very deep–rooted. If you don’t treat it, the consequences would be dire!” Leon hurriedly explained.
“A load of crap! My wife has always been fine. She just happened to have some joint. discomfort the past few days and has been sitting in the wheelchair to rest. Who told you she was paralyzed?!” Benedict was furious.
He did not believe Leon in the first place, and Leon actually said that his wife was paralyzed. There was no way he would believe it!
“No, that’s not it. The joint pain is just the start. The symptoms will get worse very soon…”
“You have to trust me. Nerve damage like this is an incredibly difficult thing to treat. You must treat it early. If I start treating her now, I still have some confidence. If you continue delaying things, I might not be able to help you anymore,” Leon said in a panic.
He was not a specialized doctor. He would normally not offer to treat anyone if he was not ninety percent confident.
However, he owed Benedict a favor. If Benedict was willing to let him, he would treat Phoebe even if he was only sixty to seventy percent confident.
He would definitely try his best.
“Shut up!” Benedict said furiously. He ordered the guard who escorted Leon earlier, ” Nathan, send him away!”
“Mister Wolf, please!” Nathan said coldly.
“That… Fine, since you don’t trust in my skills; then it’s fine.”
“However, I need to warn you. Madam Shear’s condition isn’t the best. You can’t
delay things. You should invite the Holy Doctor, Graham to take a look. He’s really talented, he might be able to treat her better than me…”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 170
Leon was very sad, but since he owed Benedict, he still recommended Graham to
them.
After that, he bid his farewells and brought the necklace away.
“That brat doesn’t know his place! I’m so angry!” Looking at Leon leave, Benedict slammed his hand on the desk. His eyes widened in anger. His good impressions on Leon completely disappeared.
“Benedict, don’t be angry. That man might have just been trying to be nice. He might not have meant anything bad,” Phoebe consoled with a smile.
“How could he be trying to be kind? He clearly has ill intentions!”
“I think that he must’ve thought that grandmother was paralyzed after seeing her in the wheelchair. That’s why he deliberately made a fuss. He wanted to take the chance to get closer to our family!”
“He didn’t know that she was just having joint pains, so he failed to trick us!” Cynthia sneered and said..
“Yes, that’s possible,” Harvey nodded, feeling like his sister might be right.
After all, they were one of the four big families of Springfield City. They had wealth and power. It was normal for a commoner like Leon to want to get closer to them.
“Whatever, let’s ignore him! Harvey, I’ve actually already invited Graham to take a look at your grandmother today. He should be almost here. Help me welcome him at the
door,” Benedict said.
Ever since his wife started to have joint pains, he immediately asked for Graham.
After Graham’s treatments, his wife seemed much better the last few days.
This was the second follow–up.
“Elder Shear, no need for the trouble. I’m already here,” A casual laughter was heard. Graham and his assistant walked over with a guard behind them.
Their manor was incredibly large. There were a total of three gates.
Graham and his assistant came from the eastern gate, and they never met Leon.
“Graham, you’re here. Thank you for helping with my wife,” Benedict greeted with a
smile as he got up to welcome Graham.
Chapter 10
2/2
“Elder Shear, don’t mention it. It’s my duty as a doctor,” Graham walked forward.
After some pleasantries, both of them sat down.
“Graham, I have something to ask you. Could my legs have any risk of being
paralyzed?” Thinking about Leon’s words, Phoebe could not stop herself from asking with some worry.
“Haha…”
“Madam Shear, you’re worrying too much. Actually, I was initially worried that there was some swelling in the brain that damaged your nerves.”
“However, it looks like you’re recovering quite well. It should just be arthritis. There’s no risk of that! Don’t worry about it,” Graham smiled and consoled.
“That’s good,” Phoebe breathed a sigh of relief as her worries vanished.
“So that’s the case! That brat kept on saying that she had a brain infection and she would be paralyzed. I think he’s the one with an infection!” Cynthia said with a huff.
When she thought about Leon stealing her Blue Star of the sea, she was even more furious.
“Brain infection?“.
“What? Did you invite another doctor to treat her?” Graham frowned, not happy about
it.
After all, he treated Phoebe at that moment. If the Shears really got another doctor to help, it meant that they did not trust and respect his skills.
