The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 181
“Cynthia, go and prepare dinner!”
“Leon, it’s already late! Why don’t you stay back for some dinner?” Benedict smiled and said.
“Oh, alright! I’ll be troubling you then.” Leon nodded with a smile. He was quite hungry after being busy for the whole day.
“Graham, why don’t you have dinner with us too?” Benedict extended the same invite to Graham.
“There’s no need, I’m quite busy, so I have to leave now.”
“Elder Shear, Mister Wolf, let’s meet again in the future,” Graham bid his farewells before leaving with his assistant.
Once Graham’s figure disappeared, Harvey seemed to have a thought before he said, “Grandfather, regarding Mister Wolf’s matter, I have an idea.”
“What’s the idea?” Benedict asked curiously.
“The Shears do our business in medicinal ingredients, while Mister Wolf’s skills are so remarkable. If the two of us can work together in the medical field, it’ll be mutually beneficial,” Harvey had an intelligent glint in his eyes.
Elder Shear was moved by the thought and quickly understood what his grandson was implying. After that, he turned to look at Leon and smiled, “Leon, your alchemy and your medical skills are amazing. Do you know how to refine pills that can strengthen the body or even extend one’s life?”
“Yes, I can,” Leon nodded.
Alchemy was popular in ancient times for thousands of years. Even though longevity and immortality were never discovered, it was incredibly easy to make some pills that could strengthen the body and prolong life. He could even refine some high- grade pills that had special effects.
“Good, that’s great!”
“Leon, if you’re willing, the Shears would like to discuss cooperation with you in the medical scene. You’ll be in charge of making pills, and we’ll provide the materials and the marketing. We’ll split the profits evenly.”
“What do you think about that?” Benedict said happily.
There were a lot of people who focused on their health, especially the rich and healthy. They would want to be able to strengthen their bodies.
As long as Leon could refine those pills, there was a huge market waiting to be explored!
Of course, Benedict was offering to work with Leon both because he saw Leon’s potential and because he wanted to help Leon from a business perspective to thank Leon for saving his life.
He killed two birds with one stone.
“Sure, that’s not a problem,” Leon smiled and agreed in a carefree manner.
It was something that benefitted both sides, so he had no reason to refuse.
“Then it’s settled!”
“Let’s go eat, I’ll prepare the agreements during the next few days. Once it’s done, I’ll have Harvey or Cynthia let you know,” Benedict said.
After dinner, Leon bid his farewells and left on his bike back to Dragonbay Villas.
Ever since they secured the cooperation of the Wick Group, Iris worked overtime a lot less.
By the time Leon was back, Iris and the housekeeper already had their dinner.
“Leon, where’d you go? Why are you back so late?” Iris asked, unable to hold back her
curiosity.
“Oh, it’s nothing. I just needed to get some things done…” Leon stammered out. He secretly held that necklace in his hand as his palm broke out in cold sweat.
When he asked Benedict to help him make a necklace, it was for the sake of giving it
to Iris.
Now that it was already done, he was hesitating instead. He did not know how he was supposed to give Iris the present, nor did he know what identity he would be giving Iris the present as!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 182
After all, he was not someone that important to Iris. If he suddenly gave such a valuable necklace to Iris, he was worried that it would seem weird!
From what he knew of Iris, Iris would not accept any presents from the opposite gender casually.
If he gave the necklace to her, Iris might mistake him for someone with ill intentions. Then, the two of them might not even be able to remain friends. That was not something he wanted to see.
However, the necklace was already in his hands. He was not willing to just not give Iris the necklace.
“Leon, what are you staring at the floor for?”
“That’s right, have you had dinner? If you haven’t, I’ll have some more made for you,” Iris’s voice snapped Leon out of his thoughts.
“No need, I’ve already eaten outside.”
“Iris, it’s late. I’m going to go wash up,” Leon let out a few laughs before he quietly kept the necklace, returning to his room.
“What’s up with Leon today? He looks a little weird…” Iris was confused as she looked at Leon’s back.
Her women’s intuition told her that Leon acted somewhat off, but she could not say of it. After that, she shook her head and cleared those thoughts as she headed upstairs to sleep.
The next morning, Leon went to the company on his bike as usual.
In the office, Ariel was still not there. Leon was a bit early, so he walked over and sat by the desk himself.
“What do I do now? How am I supposed to give the necklace to Iris in a reasonable way? I can’t have her reject it or cause her to be unhappy.”
“My head hurts just thinking about it!”
Leon sighed helplessly as he put the box on the desk and opened it. The beautiful Blue Heart of the Sea lay inside, and frustration could be felt in his heart.
At that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of high heels clacking against the
floor. Ariel opened the door and walked into the office.
Leon was shocked as he hurriedly kept the necklace.
“Leon, what are you doing? You look so guilty.”
“Could you have caused another mess?” Ariel glared at Leon before she sat down.
next to Leon.
Ever since Leon entered the company, he caused quite a lot of trouble. She had someone take the blame for quite a few incidents, and a lot of her colleagues in the company said that Leon was her boyfriend. The rumor seemed to have taken shape.
She got quite scared of Leon causing trouble.
“I’m not feeling guilty at all…” Leon smiled unnaturally as he said in surprise, “On the contrary, you look radiant today. You look like a completely different person. Did you get lucky with a man?”
“Please! You’re the one who needs to get lucky. I’m naturally beautiful. I’m both talented and pretty, and so many men are after me. Do I need luck?!” Ariel complained with a smile. She seemed to be in a good mood that day.
“I seem to have some luck…”
Leon was startled to notice that he was quite lucky in recent times. He met Iris, Ariel, and Lily in short order. All of them were true beauties. He was surrounded by beautiful women and lived quite comfortably. It was much better than before.
“I can’t be bothered talking to you!”
“Anyway, I should thank you for yesterday. Your medicine is useful…”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 183
Ariel blushed as she thanked Leon sincerely
After she got home, she followed Leon’s prescriptions. Her period disappeared that night and her body felt more relaxed than it ever was.
It caused her to admire Leon’s medical abilities.
“No wonder you seem to be in such a good mood today!” Leon had a look of realization on his face, unable to resist laughing.
At the vice president’s office, Ashwin called Michael over the phone.
“Mister Duvall, I’ve already looked into Leon’s details!” Ashwin said with a strange
tone.
Michael said happily, “Mister Mercer, where did that guy come from? What’s his background…”
“Background?”
“He had no background at all!” Ashwin finally laughed out loud.
“What? Could he just be an ordinary person without any notable background?”
Michael was shocked.
He remembered very well that Leon got the Wick Group’s cooperation so easily a few days ago, shocking everyone.
Leon should have been somewhat capable or should have had a notable background to be able to form a relationship with the Wicks.
“He’s not just ordinary!”
“You wouldn’t even be able to dream about it. This guy used to be married to the Mansons. He was there for three years and was just trash in everyone’s eyes. Even dogs lived better than him…”
“He has no parents either. He doesn’t have any skill or ability at all. Not long ago, his ex–wife even got with another man behind his back, chasing him out of the Mansons with nothing to his name…”
“Do you think a complete piece of trash like him would have any background?!” Ashwin laughed mockingly.
He thought that Leon would be someone quite talented, but the moment he found out about Leon’s past, he looked down on Leon immensely.
It was one thing to be cheated on, but Leon was a useless leech as well. Someone like Leon was not even an ant in his eyes.
“What? Something like that happened?!” Michael was shocked. He never would have dreamed that Leon’s situation would be so tragic. Even a random man from the streets would be much better than Leon!
“I just can’t understand it. Miss Summers is so beautiful and has such a nice figure. How could she have her eyes on a divorced piece of trash like Leon? Her taste is really strange!”
“Mister Duvall, you’ll need to work hard from now on. If you can’t even beat a piece of trash like Leon, it’d be too embarrassing…” Ashwin patted Michael on the shoulder with sympathy.
“No, that can’t be the case. Ariel must’ve been tricked by Leon’s words! I have to find the chance to expose that guy in the future so Ariel will leave him!” Michael said with an incredibly dark and scary look on his face.
Ashwin was right about one thing. If he lost to a piece of trash like Leon, then he might as well just end himself!
“I’ll support you! Miss Young already told me just now that the company will be having a celebration banquet tonight to celebrate us getting the right to work with the Wick Group. She put me responsible for arranging the whole thing!”
“Leon’s the biggest contributor. We have to properly kill his thunder during the banquet. We can’t let him grow too big!” Ashwin said with a sneer.
Iris held a celebratory banquet just for Leon, which meant that she put a lot of importance on Leon.
Ashwin was the true pillar of the company, and the most important person to Iris. There was no way he could tolerate Leon stealing his thunder!
“Good idea!”
“I’ll properly deal with him during the banquet. I’ll expose him in front of everyone!”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 184
“If Ariel knows how pathetic and useless he is, she’ll leave him!” Michael was incredibly spirited as he finally smiled. All the dark thoughts in his mind vanished.
After work, Iris told some of the executives of the company and some of the related employees to prepare for the celebratory banquet.
Leon played the main role in Elegante being able to secure the cooperation of the Wick Group this time, with Ariel playing a secondary role.
Other than the two of them, the people in the planning department who worked overtime to design a plan could not be forgotten either.
The cooperation between Elegante and the Wick Group was already in progress.
Iris held the celebration to reward Leon and Ariel, as well as the planning department..
Springbreak Villas was a high–end gathering spot. It was very famous in Springfield City.
It was a tourist vacation spot. There were hotels and catering services. The surroundings and the scenery were incredibly beautiful. It was the best place for the wealthy to relax.
There were a few areas in Springbreak Villa, it was split into Riverside Yard, Floral Stories, Cherry Hall, Rainfall Pavilion, and Clearmoon Pavilion.
In Cherry Hall, Ashwin reserved the whole place as Iris instructed,
There were over ten tables there, and everyone ate and celebrated as they admired the view outside.
Iris, Ariel, and Leon sat at the main table. Other than them, the rest were executives with a lot of power in the company. Michael and Ashwin were among them.
Leon was not an executive, so he would normally not have the right to sit at the main -table, but he was the greatest contributor to the Wick Group’s contact and the main
star of the celebratory banquet.
Iris deliberately arranged for him o sit at the main table.
Everyone else took a backseat to Leon.
Leon sat right in between Ariel and Iris. He sat to Iris’s left, while Ashwin sat to Iris’s
right.
The two of them looked like Iris’s left and right–hand men.
The company’s executives were all wise people. They could all see that Iris put a lot of importance on Leon due to the Wick Group’s contract, and planned on properly cultivating Leon.
Ashwin naturally understood what Iris planned as well. He did not look happy and cursed at Leon’s luck in his heart to have been able to secure the Wick Group’s
cooperation. Otherwise, a useless man like Leon would never have been in the same seat as him!
“Alright, let’s start the banquet!” Iris smiled as she had the staff start bringing out the foot.
As the foot was being served, she had Leon and Ashwin both stand up.
“Mister Mercer, you haven’t been at the company lately, so you might not have seen Leon around.”
“Let me introduce you, this is Leon Wolf, the new presidential secretary.”
“Leon, this is the vice president of the company, Ashwin Mercer.”
“You’ll both probably be working together for our products in the future, so I hope the two of you can work together well.” Iris gave a simple introduction to the two of them.
“Mister Mercer, hello. It’s nice to meet you, I hope you’ll be able to teach me a lot in the future,” Leon smiled in a friendly manner, trying to shake Ashwin’s hand.
“Mister Wolf, you’re too kind. I’ve been hearing all about you in the past two days. I wouldn’t dare to teach you anything!” Ashwin smiled. He sounded friendly, but he did not even seem to look at Leon’s offered hand. He did not shake it at all.
Leon awkwardly pulled his hand back.
“Mister Wolf, I heard that you were an orphan who grew up without your parents.”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 185
“Despite how hard things must have been for you, without anyone to rely on, you still managed to secure the cooperation of the Wick Group It looks like you’re talented!” Ashwin said with a look of admiration.
“It’s nothing, I was just lucky…” Leon let out an awkward smile, a little confused as to how Ashwin managed to find out that he was an orphan.
Ashwin seemed to speak strangely as well. It felt a bit off, but Leon could not pinpoint why.
“Mister Wolf is an orphan!”
“I can’t believe he had such a tragic past!”
“That’s right. It does invoke some sympathy…”
The executives around them all spoke up. All of them started to look at Leon differently. Some of them had sympathy in their eyes, while some of them seemed to start to look down on him.
“It’s already all in the past. There’s no tragedy about it anymore,” Leon said calmly.
He was already used to getting strange looks from others, and he was much more confident than he used to be as well. He would not be affected by something so
small.
“Mister Wolf does have a forgiving heart. No wonder he still manages to act so calmly after being cheated on!” Michael let out a laugh as he did not lose the opportunity to deal Leon a blow.
Ariel spat out the tea she just sipped, and it almost landed on Leon’s face.
“Cheated on?” Ariel was uncertain.
She just knew that Leon was Iris’s savior, and stayed with Iris for the moment. She did not know about Leon’s past at all.
Looking at Ariel’s confused expression, Michael was even more sure that Leon tricked Ariel with his words. He said in a hurry, “Miss Summers, you might not know this, but Mister Wolf used to be married into the Mansons. He was there for three years, and was seen as trash by a lot of people…”
“Not only that, but his wife got pregnant with another man’s child not long ago,
2/2
kicking him out of the family…”
“He doesn’t have anything to his name right now and is even a useless divorcee. Don’t get tricked by him!”
Michael took the chance to expose Leon’s pass. He even deliberately raised his voice, letting the colleagues around them hear him.
Boom!
What he said completely shocked the whole palace!
“What?”
“He was cheated on by his ex–wife and chased out?!”
Everyone gasped in shock. Both male and female colleagues started to look at Leon strangely.
It was one thing for Leon to be an orphan, but he lived a pathetic life as well. It was hard to see him as a man!
If they were Leon, they would probably have ended their own lives!
Suddenly, everyone started whispering amongst themselves. The matter quickly spread, and practically everyone in the hall heard of Leon’s past!
Leon was supposed to be the main star of the banquet, but before the banquet even formally started, he was already the center of attention!
Only, he became the joke everyone laughed at!
“Despicable!”
Leon was furious when he saw the sly smiles on Ashwin and Michael’s faces.
He finally understood that Michael and Ashwin worked together to humiliate him!
Even though he already let Marilyn’s matter go, there was no way he could contain his anger at being humiliated like that by Ashwin and Michael, no matter how good his témper usually was.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 186
“Ashwin, Michael, have the two of you had enough?!” Iris slammed her hand on the table as she looked at the two of them angrily.
She knew of Leon’s background. She never would have dreamed that Ashwin and Michael would dig out Leon’s past right in front of everyone, embarrassing Leon completely. It crossed a line!
“Miss Young, don’t be angry, Mister Mercer and I are just joking around with Mister Wolf. We don’t mean anything by it,” Michael hurriedly apologized, but he was very pleased with himself. He finally vented some of his frustrations!
“That’s right, Miss Young. Mister Duvall and I don’t mean anything ill by it. Mister Wolf said it himself, the past is already the past. He’s such an open–minded person. I’m sure he won’t mind a joke like that. Aren’t I right, Mister Wolf?” Ashwin smiled as he asked Leon.
That joke’s not funny at all,” Leon forced out a smile, but he made a note to be of Ashwin in the future.
Ashwin just uttered a few words, and he was already absolutely furious!
Ashwin was far too dangerous. He was completely two–faced!
He was much more dangerous than Michael!
At that moment, the dishes were all served.
wary
Leon was the greatest contributor to the cooperation with the Wick Group, so Iris planned on letting Leon stand up to speak a few words, taking the chance to gain some trust from everyone.
However, after that earlier incident, Leon was already thoroughly humiliated. If she let Leon speak, he would just end up being laughed at by everyone, so there was no reason for that.
With that in mind, Iris decided against that plan. She merely spoke a few words before officially starting the banquet.
“Miss Young, wait!”
Ashwin suddenly stood up to stop Iris.
“Mister Mercer, what is it? Do you still need something?” Jris looked at Ashwin unhappily. After Ashwin helped Michael push Leon down, she formed some negative opinions about Ashwin.
Chapter 186
3/2
“Miss Young, don’t be in such a hurry. I prepared some things for you. Please take a look.”
Ashwin had a mysterious smile on his face as he clapped and said, “Have the things
reel in!”
As he clapped, an employee of the hotel pushed in a cake trolley with a luxurious cake that had about ten layers on it. There were sparkles on both sides as it slowly
came in.
“A cake?”
“What’s Mister Mercer doing?”
“Who knows? Does he want to cut the cake in celebration?”
“Surely not. I’ve heard of popping champagne to celebrate, but I’ve never seen anyone cut cake!”
Everyone looked at each other, and no one could figure out what Ashwin did.
“Mister Mercer, this is…” Iris’s heart skipped a beat as she realized something.
“Miss Young, if I’m not mistaken, today should be your birthday!”
“I decided to take the chance to prepare a cake for you in celebration. We’re, celebrating the success of our company, and everyone’s celebrating your birthday
too!”
“It’s just something I did for you. I hope you like it,” Ashwin let out a gentlemanly smile as he looked at Iris with passion and love.
He came to Elegante Group with Iris and pursued her for more than two years. He knew when Iris’s birthday was.
This time, he painstakingly prepared a surprise for Iris in hopes that he would be able to win Iris’s affection.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 187
“Yes, Mister Mercer. Thank you for the thoughtfulness,” Iris bit her lips, and her eyes reddened a little. A sense of warmth could be felt around her heart.
Since she did not have the best relationship with her father and stepmother, she did not get the chance to celebrate her birthday ever since she moved out to live alone. two years ago.
Her grandfather and aunt would occasionally remember her birthday and would call her to wish her or give her some presents.
Other than that, she spent very quiet birthdays for the last two years. It felt quite lonely.
She never expected that Ashwin would remember her birthday, nor did she expect him to prepare a surprise for her. She was touched by Ashwin’s sincerity.
“can’t believe it’s Miss Young’s birthday today…”
“Miss Young, all of us wish you a happy birthday.”
The executives at the same table quickly reacted as they stood up to congratulate Iris.
The other tables were the same. All of them stood up and wished Iris a happy birthday.
It made for a warm and impressive sight!
“Thank you for the wishes, everyone.”
Iris smiled and teared up. The celebration was very special. She liked it a lot and was very happy.
“Miss Young, since it’s your birthday, I prepared a small present for you. I hope you’ll accept it,” Ashwin struck the iron while it was hot as he quickly took out an intricate box from his pocket, putting it in front of Iris.
The box was opened, and it shone brightly as a beautiful diamond necklace was revealed inside.
The chain was made of platinum, and it was adorned with twelve diamonds the size of beans. It looked crystal clear and incredibly dazzling.
The price tag was still on the necklace. There were a lot of zeroes on the tag. It was worth over a million dollars!
Even though Ashwin’s family was incredibly wealthy, most of the money belonged to his grandfather. Among those were a lot of unmovable assets.
A million dollars was no small sum to him.
For the sake of going after Iris, he practically clenched his teeth as he got it!
“What a beautiful diamond necklace!”
“A necklace is worth over a million. Mister Mercer can spend!”
“This necklace is just too expensive. The rich spend so luxuriously!”
Everyone was stunned. They saw diamond necklaces before, but it was the first time they saw one that was so expensive.
Ashwin was very happy with everyone’s exclamations. His lips curled up into a smirk as he looked pleased with himself, “Iris, this necklace is something I had my friend buy back from overseas. It suits your noble demeanor. I hope you like it.”
“Míster Mercer, I’m sorry. Thank you for your kindness, but I can’t accept this necklace. You should take it back!” Iris shook her head in rejection. Her attitude was firm.
She was the heiress of the Youngs, so she was not someone who lacked
materialistic goods. She could not just casually accept any present from someone of the opposite gender.
Ashwin was one of her pursuers as well. She did not feel anything in that regard for Ashwin, so she could not accept Ashwin’s present!
“Iris, it’s your birthday today. I just wanted to give you a present to congratulate you.”
“It’s just a present as a friend. I don’t mean anything else by it. Why don’t you just accept it for my sake?” The smile on Ashwin’s face froze. He started to get anxious.
“That…” Iris was hesitant, and she quickly fell silent.
Ashwin prepared such a surprise for her, so it was quite sincere. She was a little touched
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 188
It would embarrass Ashwin if she rejected it in front of everyone. That would also be a bit mean.
However, that necklace was incredibly valuable. It was not too appropriate for her to accept something like that.
She was caught in a difficult spot and did not know what to do.
“Miss Young, this is a token of Mister Mercer’s sincerity, you should accept it!”
“That’s right, this necklace is valuable and extraordinary. It suits you very well. Only you would be worthy of it.”
The executives on the same desk hurriedly pushed Iris when they received a look from Ashwin.
The other employees from the other desks started to join in as well. All of them sang Ashwin praises, hoping that Iris would accept the necklace.
“Alright, fine. I’ll accept it!”
“Mister Mercer, thank you,” Iris hesitated for a while. When she saw everyone’s mood pick up, she did not want to spoil it, nor did she want to embarrass Ashwin.. In t… end, she accepted the necklace.
However, she decided to have the finance department reimburse Ashwin for it. That way, the two of them would not owe each other anything.
“That’s great!” Ashwin was elated. The smile on his face was incredibly wife.
He pursued Iris for so long and gave Iris a lot of presents. However, they were all rejected.
His efforts finally paid off. The surprise he prepared for Iris finally managed to move her. It was a great chance for him to move forward!
If it happened once, it could happen again!
He believed that he would be able to win Iris over if he preserved!
“Mister Mercer already pursued Miss Young for over two years. He finally managed to win some of her affection!”
“That’s right, only someone as excellent as Mister Mercer would be worthy of Miss Young!”
“The two of them are a match made in heaven!”
“Mister Mercer, congratulations! Miss young, congratulations to both of you!”
Everyone smiled, thinking that Iris accepting Ashwin’s gift was a sign that she had accepted Ashwin. All of them walked up to voice their congratulations.
“That…” Iris was stunned.
She did not want to embarrass Ashwin, so she forcefully accepted the necklace. Yet, everyone misunderstood her!
Her head hurt. She wanted to return the necklace, but it would be inappropriate for her to do that after accepting the gift.
“Thank you, everyone.”
Ashwin was elated. He stood there tall and with his back straight. He looked full of
vigor!
The main star of the banquet was Leon, but he stole all of Leon’s thunder, turning into the focus of attention of everyone there!
He shone as radiantly as you could say!
“Ariel, Mister Mercer is one of Iris’s pursuers?” Leon was angered. He could finally see that Ashwin and Iris’s relationship was not exactly normal.
“That’s right, Ashwin came into Elegante Group with Iris back then. He’s already been after her for over two years,” Ariel nodded as she briefly told Leon about Ashwin.
“Despicable!” Leon clenched his fists as his expression soured.
He could ignore Ashwin embarrassing him earlier and could ignore Ashwin stealing his thunder, but he could not tolerate Ashwin having his eyes on Iris!
Even though he did not know if he liked Iris, he still knew one thing very well. He had some feelings for Iris. Iris already had a very important place in his heart.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 189
He would not tolerate another man stealing Iris away from him!
It was a firm belief he had in his heart!
However, he quickly realized that Iris already accepted Ashwin’s gift, and seemed to have been touched by Ashwin.
Furthermore, Ashwin was the center of attention at that moment and trampled all over Leon in various ways.
How could Leon fight Ashwin?
“What? Am I just going to look at the woman I love being taken away?” Leon’s eyes turned red in panic.
Suddenly, he had a thought as his mind frantically raced. He suddenly thought of the
Blue Heart of the Sea.
He wondered how he would give it to Iris, but his chance was there.
It was Iris’s birthday. Since Iris did not reject Ashwin’s present, she would probably not reject his either!
“Wait!” Leon was incredibly happy as he immediately stood up.
“Mister Wolf, what are you doing? You have such a bright smile on your face. Are you congratulating me and Miss Young as well? You’re quite smart to do that!” Ashwin looked at Leon in disdain. He thought that Leon took the chance to try and get closer to him just like everyone else.
“Miss Young, it’s your birthday today, and I prepared a present for you too. I hope you’ll like it,” Leon ignored Ashwin as he took out a beautiful box from his pocket, and presented it in front of Iris.
The box opened, and a blue glow could be seen from within as the necklace lay quietly inside.
The necklace’s chain was made of platinum as well. The platinum was woven intricately into an interlaced shape. It looked beautiful and elegant, and the craftsmanship seemed much more complicated than Ashwin’s necklace.
Beneath the necklace was a pendant the size of a pebble. It was inlaid with imperial greens and was incredibly radiant.
What was even more special is the fact that the blue trimmings seemed to look as
Chapter 189
deep as the blue ocean. It perfectly complemented the green gem. It looked
212
incredibly cold and noble. It was a perfect match for Iris. It looked like it was made
for her.
“What a beautiful necklace!”
“The green inside looks like a spirit. That’s unbelievable!”
Everyone widened their eyes as they exclaimed in shock.
The Blue Heart of the Sea was far too beautiful. It looked ethereal like it was not touched by anyone at all!
“Miss Young, this is just a token from me. I hope you’ll accept it,” Leon said sincerely. He was a little nervous, worried that Iris would reject him. Then, he really would be thoroughly humiliated that day!
“Mister Wolf, this is a special surprise I prepared for Miss young, why are you trying to interfere? Take that rotten necklace away, don’t be an eyesore!” Ashwin betrayed Leon, he was furious.
He tried his best to make Iris this time precisely to gain everyone’s approval and steal
the show!
He never could have dreamed that Leon would somehow produce a present to steal the limelight from him!
His anger was obvious!
“It’s fine! Mister Mercer, Mister Wolf is just trying to show some generosity just like you. This necklace is really pretty, I like it a lot,” Iris looked incredibly happy.
Even though she normally did not accept presents from the opposite gender, everyone mistook her for accepting Ashwin’s gift, which made things very awkward
for her.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 190
Leon giving her a present at that moment was perfect to relieve the situation for her.
As long as she accepted the gift, the misunderstanding would be completely cleared up.
Ashwin started to panic when it looked like Leon was about to ruin his day.
“Iris, just look! That necklace doesn’t have any blemishes on it at all. It’s some accessory that’s mass–produced with machines. It’s worth a few hundred at most!”
“How could you ruin your image by wearing something so cheap and trashy?!” Ashwin said, quickly shooting Michael and a few executives a look.
“Yes, Miss Young, something like this would just be an insult to yourself!”
“Mister Leon’s just clearly trying to pull some trick on you. He’s not being sincere at all. You can’t accept it…”
Michael and a few executives hurriedly agreed with Ashwin.
“Leon, how dare you?!”
“Even if you wanted to give Miss Young something, you should’ve at least given her something more valuable or meaningful!”
“How could you give Miss Young a piece of trash like that?!”
“You’re just looking down on Miss Young. You’re trying to humiliate her!”
Ashwin glared right at Leon, using a few words to quickly frame Leon as someone who wanted to humiliate Iris!
“That’s complete nonsense! How are you saying that the necklace is something cheap? This is a premium necklace made of imperial greens. It’s worth at least four to six million dollars! If you don’t know, then don’t speak as you do!” Leon looked at Ashwin unhappily.
Even though he did not know how much a necklace like that would cost, he spent so much on the tablet at the flea market.
The necklace in front of him would cost more than the pendant.
“What?!”
“Imperial green?!”
“Four to six million?!” Everyone was stunned. They immediately exploded in laughter.
“Mister Wolf, are you still asleep? If you are, then you should go home for a nap!”
“You’re a useless orphan without family! You wouldn’t even be able to afford four to six hundred, let alone millions!”
“That’s right! How dare you compare a trashy necklace like that to imperial green?”
“You’re good at bragging! You might be the best at it in the whole of Springfield!”
Michael and Ashwin both laughed as they looked at Leon like an idiot.
“I…” Ashwin wanted to explain, but was stopped by Iris before he could.
“Leon, enough! You’re exaggerating!” Iris frowned. Even she found it hard to listen to.
She knew Leon’s background better than anyone else. All he had was the rewards that her grandfather gave him. That money might be able to buy an expensive diamond necklace, but not a rare imperial green necklace!
There was no way Leon was doing anything but bragging!
“Iris, I’m not bragging, please believe me! This is an imperial green necklace!” Leon said sincerely.
“It’s fine, I understand how you feel. In my eyes, there are no cheap or expensive presents. What matters is the thought!”
“The necklace is very beautiful too. Even if it was cheap, I still like it a lot. You don’t have to brag…” Iris said.
Ever since Mistcloud Mountain, Iris was much closer to Leon. Their relationship became quite closely tied together.
