The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 761
Iris was incredibly frustrated.
She was adamantly refusing to sell Elegante, not just for herself. She was also leaving a contingency behind for the Youngs!
“That…”
Hearing Iris‘ reasoning, Gilbert and the others were speechless.
They knew that Iris was right. Leaving Elegante Group behind would definitely benefit the Youngs.
Yet, surely they could not leave Elegante behind and abandon the Young Group?
They were suddenly caught in a difficult position, not knowing what to do!
Seeing as Gilbert and the others had already been convinced by Iris, Daisy did not panic. She smiled and said. calmly, “Gilbert, since Iris doesn’t want to sell Elegante, then let’s forget about it!”
“But, what do we do about our financial situation if we don’t sell Elegante?” Gilbert said with worry.
“That’s simple. I think we can ask Harold Lowe for help!” Daisy said.
“The Northern King?” Gilbert was stunned.
“That’s right. The Youngs fell into this predicament because the Fields, the Collins, the Shears, and other major families have been taking the opportunity to push down our company. They’re trying to benefit from this, but only the Northern King hasn’t taken part!”
“I think Harold hasn’t been doing so because he still wants to form a marital alliance with the Youngs. He doesn’t want to offend us for some small benefit!” Daisy said firmly.
“Yes, that’s possible!” Gilbert nodded in realization.
From the surface, Harold had not participated in all of this at all.
He knew that Harold did not have a reputation for being a good man in the underworld. The fact that Harold was willing to let go of such easy profits must mean that he still had some hope for the marriage!
“Since that’s the case, why don’t we agree to his proposal? Then, we can use their wealth to handle our financial difficulties easily! Harold had even agreed back then that, as long as Iris and Jacob got married, the Lowe’s would be willing to submit to the Youngs unconditionally! To be honest, with the help of the Northern King and his family, even if anything happens to the elder, the other forces in Springfield City won’t be able to do anything to us!” Daisy said with a fire in her eyes.
“That…” Gilbert was immediately convinced by Daisy.
Elder Young was already comatose. It was hard to tell if his life would end up in danger someday.
With the Young Group’s predicament, if Elder Young lost his life, the Young Group would probably end up getting eaten up by the other major families!
The Young Group would end up completely gone, and the Youngs would be completely lost!
Yet, as long as the Youngs managed to get Harold’s support, the situation would be different!
With the Lowes‘ power, it would be incredibly easy for them to help the Young Group go through their difficulties. Even if Elder Young really ended up dying, the other major families would not dare to act rashly against the Youngs for fear of the combined might of the Youngs and the Northern King!
It was their only chance to turn the tides!
Of course, Gilbert was not the only one who was convinced; the others were too!
They knew very well that the Youngs would have a firm footing even if Elder Young never woke up as long as the Youngs established an alliance with the Lowes by marriage!
Even more so, the moment the Youngs gained control of the Northern King’s power, they would have enough to become the head of the four great families and even monopolize the whole city!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 762
That had been their dream for many years!
“No! I already told you. I won’t agree to marry Jacob. Grandfather already agreed to this and already rejected the proposal a few days ago!” Iris said angrily!
She never expected Daisy to be so sinister, first wanting to get her to sell Elegante, then turning around and planning on making her marry Jacob right after that!
It was despicable!
“That was then, and this is now! The elder handled everything in the family before this, but now that he’s ill, your father makes all the decisions!” Daisy sneered.
“Yes, Daisy is right! Gilbert, times are different now. The Youngs are in a bad situation. If we get a marriage alliance with the Lowes, it’ll be nothing but good for the family!”
“That’s right, Gilbert. As long as you agree to let Iris and Jacob get engaged, we’ll immediately support you in becoming the next head of the family!”
They had wanted a marriage alliance between the two families in the first place. It was just that Elder Young had forcibly pushed all of those ideas down.
With Elder Young in that state and the family’s dire situation, the intentions were renewed.
“I…” Gibert was feeling very emotional at that moment.
Even though he was first in line to take over the family, his strength and abilities were nothing special. daily new chapters upload only on alaniniz(dot)com On top of that, there were problems with the Young Group that already made a lot of the family unhappy. It would not be very easy for him to take over the family smoothly!
Yet, at that moment, as long as he agreed to the marriage, he would be able to earn their support and easily assume the position of head of the family!
There was no way he would not be tempted by that!
However, he knew that Iris would never accept a political marriage. It would be too shameless of him to sell his daughter off for power and profit!
He was definitely hesitating.
“Dad, even if I have to die, I won’t agree to this! Can you not force me?” Iris pleaded to her father.
Before Gilbert could even answer, Daisy rushed forward. “Iris, this isn’t your choice to make! We asked you to sell Elegante earlier, and you refused. Now, we’re asking you to marry Jacob, and you’re still refusing! What do you want us to do? You’re a daughter of the family. Now that the family is in a difficult spot, you’re just allowing the family to sink for your own sake. You’re too selfish!” Daisy said coldly.
Hearing Daisy’s words, Gilbert lost his hesitation and made a decision.
“Iris, I’m giving you a chance here! I’ll give you two choices right now. Either you sell Elegante to help the family, or you marry Jacob! You can make your own choice!” Gilbert said coldly.
“I…” Iris paled. Her mood sank completely.
She had already given up a lot for the sake of the family, even losing the only man she loved.
Yet, what had she gotten in return? She either needed to sell Elegante she had worked so hard to bring up, or get engaged to Jacob!
She felt a chill in her heart.
“Whatever, I’ll just sell Elegante…”
Iris bit her lips before she left miserably.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 767
Ever since she got to know Leon, the both of them had gone through a lot. She knew that Leon’s martial arts were quite good. He was her favorite type of man, a strong hero.
With Leon by her side, she felt a sense of security.
“Brat, who are you? Let me go!” Wilfred looked at Leon in shock and anger. After that, he pulled his arm back, trying to escape Leon’s grasp.
However, Leon’s grip was very strong. It felt like Leon was going to shatter his arm. No matter how hard he pulled, he could not escape Leon’s grasp!
“It’s you!”
The arrogant woman got up from the ground, immediately recognizing Leon.
“Maisie, you know this guy? Who is he?” Wilfred was surprised. He looked at Leon before looking at the woman with uncertainty.
“I don’t know him! He’s just an idiot who rides a motorcycle. He almost ran into me outside the cafe!” Maisie said in disdain.
“So he’s a useless ruffian!” Wilfred sniffed.
Luxury cars were everywhere in society, and motorcycles were essentially never used anymore.
In his eyes, any rich and powerful man would be riding high–end sports cars. Motorcycles were just for the poor!
How could he be bothered with a powerless and poor bumpkin?!
“Brat, I’m warning you, let me go right now! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!” Wilfred looked right at Leon, threatening him.
“What if I refuse?!” Leon said calmly.
“You…”
Wilfred was furious.
He had just been about to shout when footsteps were heard. A middle–aged man in a suit about fifty years of age walked in with a few guards.
“The boss is here!”
A few of the customers could immediately tell who the middle–aged man was. It was the owner of the cafe.
When the owner appeared, Leon scoffed and let Wilfred go.
“Young Master Javner, Miss Town, you’re here. Sorry for not welcoming you!”
The owner clearly knew Wilfred and Maisie and seemed to be very friendly with them.
From what he knew, Wilfred was the heir of Acme Corp, so he was an important person. Meanwhile, Maisie was Wilfred’s lover.
They were not people a mere cafe owner like him could offend!
“Mister Grover, you came at the perfect time! Your employee spilled coffee all over my girlfriend’s clothes. It’s up to you how you want to deal with that!” Wilfred said proudly.
“Young Master Javner, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to give you a satisfactory answer…”
He tried to curry favor with Wilfred as he looked at the female employee. His expression darkened as he shouted, “Shirley, what were you doing? You can’t even serve coffee properly!”
“You’re fired. Also, you need to pay Miss Town back for her clothes!”
“Sir, I didn’t do anything. She suddenly bumped into me and spilled the coffee…”
Shirley was anxious and frustrated. She started to cry.
Ariel was furious as she shouted, “What is wrong with you? You didn’t even bother figuring out the truth before you decided to blame your employee. Are you the owner here?”
“Who are you? I can deal with my own employees however I want to. It has nothing to do with you…”
Grover looked at Ariel before he immediately felt amazed as he stopped talking.
“That’s right. Are you blind?”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 768
“My clothes are already ruined, what’s there to talk about?!” Maisie sneered.
“That’s not necessarily true! We’ll know who’s in the wrong after looking at the CCTV footage!” Leon pointed at the cameras on top, unhappy with how the owner was doing things as well.
Maisie’s expression suddenly darkened.
Grover obviously knew what to do in that situation. It was obvious that Maisie had probably knocked over
Shirley.
However, Wilfred and Maisie were not people she could offend. He quickly made a decision!
“The camera is broken. We can’t look at the footage!” Grover waved it off and said impatiently.
“Is that so? It really broke at such a perfect moment!” Ariel scoffed.
“Stop wasting time! Where are the guards? Catch those three! They’re all working together. That wretch even slapped me just now. Make sure you all teach the three of them a lesson. Beat them up until I’m satisfied!”
Maisie ordered.
Grover hesitated for a moment before he nodded, allowing it.
After that, the four guards walked forward, surrounding Leon and Ariel.
“Thank you, you two. This has nothing to do with you. You should just leave. I don’t want to drag you two down…”
Shirley was incredibly scared as she looked at Leon and Ariel with worry.
“Don’t worry. It’s just a few guards. They’re nothing to me!” Leon smiled and said.
Ariel had seen Leon’s martial arts before. She knew that Leon was skilled and was not worried.
“Brat, you can really talk! Beat him up properly. Make sure he knows his place!”
Wilfred waved and said coldly.
The four guards were already angered by Leon underestimating them. They were not very willing to attack Ariel and Shirley, but they rushed right at Leon!
“My guards are all retired soldiers. This ignorant brat really is an idiot for challenging them like that!” Grover said in contempt. He looked at Leon like an idiot.
“That’s right. How dare they go against me. I’ll make them pay a painful price!” Maisie said venomously. She could already see herself trampling all over Leon and Ariel!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Right as they felt like they were definitely going to win, Leon made his move.
He sent out a few attacks in a row, and the guards flew everywhere..
After that, all of them crashed on the ground, losing their ability to fight back.
“H–how did that happen?”
Everyone was stunned at the sight, rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
They could not believe that Leon, who looked on the skinnier side, managed to defeat four muscular guards. in a matter of seconds.
It was too unbelievable!
Wilfried and Daisy, in particular, started to retreat a few steps, looking at the scene in fear.
However, Wildred was still the heir of Acme Corp. He quickly composed himself.
“Brat, no wonder you were so arrogant, so you are a martial artist! However, money and power are all that matter in this world. No matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to do anything in the face of my wealth!” Wilfred sneered.
“That’s right!”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 769
“Brat, do you know who Young Master Javner is? He’s the heir of Acme Corp! How dare a piece of trash like you try and go against him?!” Grover finally reacted as well.
Suddenly everyone started to talk amongst one another, “So that person is the heir of Acme Corp! Acme Corp is one of the biggest companies among the second–tier families of Springfield City. They are rich and powerful. They’re not someone anyone can offend!”
“That’s right. This guy actually offended Wilfred. He’s done for…”
Everyone talked amongst themselves, and quite a few of them shot Leon looks of pity and sympathy.
There were also a lot of them who were thankful that they did not rush forward earlier. Otherwise, they would not have been able to do anything against Wilfred!
“Acme Corp?”
Leon was taken aback, feeling like the name sounded familiar. After thinking about it, he quickly recalled the name.
Janice and Ava were former employees at Acme Corp. He had just met the chairman of Acme Corp, Javner, two days ago. He had even taught that man a lesson.
Since Wilfred was the heir, Wilfred must be that man’s son!
Looking at Leon going silent, Wilfred thought that Leon had been scared by his background. He suddenly acted much more arrogantly.
“What, are you scared now?”
“Brat, I’ll give you one last chance. If you know your place, then kneel down and beg for forgiveness. I might consider letting you off! Otherwise, I’ll make sure to bury you alive!” Wilfred sneered.
“Dear, it’s not just this guy. There’s also that wretch next to him! She slapped me and kicked me just now. You can’t let her off easily!” Maisie pointed at Ariel with a pleased look on her face.
“Yes, I know…”
Wilfred looked at Ariel in amazement.
He had not been looking at Ariel carefully the whole time. Upon closer inspection, Ariel was actually an absolute beauty!
Whether it was looks or her figure, Ariel was much better than Maisie!
Suddenly, he started to have nasty thoughts in his head!
“Brat, once you apologize, you can get lost! However, make sure this girl stays behind!”
Wilfred spoke incredibly arrogantly as if he had already defeated Leon.
“How dare you!” Leon’s expression turned cold.
He was a man. He completely understood what Wilfred was thinking. It immediately infuriated him!
He dashed forward and kicked Wilfred right on the stomach, sending Wilfred flying into the desk behind him. The desk and a few cups shattered.
Everyone fell silent at that.
“T–that guy actually attacked Young Master Javner. Is he crazy?”
“That’s right, the Javners are rich and powerful. They’d be able to kill him easily. Is he suicidal?”
Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at Leon in disbelief.
Leon already knew who Wilfred was, but he still attacked Wilfred. Was Leon not suicidal?!
At the same time, Wilfred slowly crawled up with Grover’s help. He looked at Leon ferociously as he clenched his teeth. “Brat, you’ve got guts. Just you wait. I won’t let you go!“
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 770
As he said that, Wilfred took out his phone to make some calls.
“Crap…”
Ariel’s expression changed at the sight.
Acme Group was quite famous in the business world. She had heard of them before and knew that they were not to be messed with.
Even though her family was a noted family of craftsmen, their fortunes were incredibly minuscule compared to the Acme Group.
As for Leon. She knew that Leon knew martial arts, but she also knew that Leon was just an orphan without anything.
Neither she nor Leon had the ability to clash against Acme Corp!
“Leon, let’s leave!” Ariel pulled at Leon’s arm, wanting to leave before Wilfred’s men arrived. That way, they might be able to avoid Wilfred’s revenge.
“Why would we leave?”
Leon found it strange.
Since they decided to help, he would see things through.
The female employee was still there. He could not just leave her alone!
“Leon, you might not know this, but Acme Corp is rich and powerful. We can’t afford to go against them…..”
“We should just hurry up and leave. Miss Shirley, come with us. If we don’t leave now, we’ll be done for when their reinforcements arrive!” Ariel said anxiously.
“Let them come! Ariel, don’t worry. It’s just Acme Corp. They won’t be able to do anything to me!” Leon said with a smile.
“Alright, stop trying to brag! Do you think I don’t know anything about you?” Ariel glared at Leon. After that, she did not say anything else as she tried to pull Leon and Shirley with one hand each.
“You’re trying to leave? It’s too late!”
Wilfred sneered when she saw Ariel trying to leave with Leon.
The moment he said that, four men in suits rushed into the cafe.
Those four men were Wilfred’s bodyguards. They had been waiting in the car outside.
The moment Wilfred made that call, they rushed right over.
“Crap, they’re already here.”
Ariel’s face paled as her heart sank.
She never expected Wilfred’s men to arrive so quickly. It would be impossible for Leon and herself to flee!
Of course, she did not know that Leon had not been planning on fleeing at all. At the very least, Wilfred was not capable of making him run away!
“This guy’s dead now!”
“That’s right. If he had just apologized earlier, he might have been able to keep his life.”
“Look at it now. He actually attacked Wilfred. Even if Wilfred doesn’t kill him, he’ll at least be crippled!”
Everyone shook their heads. Some of them looked at Leon with sympathy while others were enjoying the show, feeling like Leon was a suicidal idiot!
“Mister Fred, this guy hit me!”
Wilfred pointed at Leon as he ordered the leader, “Quickly, teach him a lesson. Cripple his legs and feed him to the dogs!”
The few bodyguards were martial arts experts that his father had handpicked. They could fight against ten men without any problem.
The leader was especially strong. Wilfred felt like it would be very easy for them to defeat Leon!
