Ch. 841..850
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 841
Iris was sad as she looked at Leon, full of disappointment.
Gilbert and the other elders already guessed that the venture capital company could very well have been controlled by Leon and the Shears!
However, Iris always had a sliver of hope for Leon. She felt like Leon was someone who treasured old relationships, and would probably not do anything to her and the Youngs. It was possible that the matter only involved the Shears, and had nothing to do with Leon.
Yet, they found out that Leon secretly bought over Elegante. It meant that Leon was definitely related to everything that happened, and Leon could very well be the mastermind!
Suddenly, her hopes for Leon completely disappeared!
“Despicable! I thought that this brat came to save us, but it looks like he’s just like Harold!” Gilbert clenched his fists furiously.
He knew very well that the root of everything that happened was the venture capital company hiding in the dark. If the company did not constantly attack the Young Group, he would not have lost control of the company, and would not have been forced into this corner!
Leon and the Shears were the cause of everything. He immediately put the blame on Leon!
“Iris, listen to me. Harold really is the person behind the venture capital company, it really isn’t me.”
“I bought Elegante because I wanted to help you in secret. I didn’t want the company to end up in the hands of the Lowes.”
Leon was frantically trying to explain himself, but he was interrupted by Iris before he could finish.
“You wanted to help me?”
“You and the Shears constantly added fuel to the flames while my grandfather was sick, working with the other forces to sabotage the Young Group. Are you really helping us?”
Iris bit her lips as tears started to flow out.
She was so firmly against marrying into the Lowes because she still missed Leon. For that reason, she sold off Elegante, and her father even lost his place as the head of the family, and the two of them were forced out of the family!
Yet, for the sake of revenge, Leon was so ruthless. He forced her and her father into a corner!
It was obvious how she felt!
“Iris, you refused to believe in me last time. Are you really not going to believe in me again?”
Leon’s heart hurt deeply.
Even though the Youngs kicked him out despite everything he did for them, he never thought about revenge because Iris was the woman he loved the most!
It was not just that!
He never got over Iris. For Iris’s sake, he sold off all his shares in Cynthion to buy Elegante at a high price, trying to help the Youngs.
When he knew that Iris and Gilbert were forced out of the family, he even faced Harold head on for the sake of Iris, and was almost crippled!
It was no exaggeration to say that he gave Iris everything, even his life!
Yet, what he got was Iris’s distrust!
At that moment, he felt a chill in his heart. He was more and more disappointed in Iris!
“I-”
As if she felt Leon’s sadness, Iris opened her mouth, not knowing if she should believe in Leon.
“Iris, don’t believe in his words! The truth is clear for all to see. The Shears and Leon are the culprits. Don’t fall for his words!” Gilbert said furiously.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 842
He lost power in the company and his position as head of the Youngs. At that moment, he hated Leon and the Shears to the core. No matter what Leon said, there was no way he would believe Leon!
Iris fell into silence when she heard that.
If it was a few days ago, she might have believed in Leon.
Yet, too many things happened with the Youngs. Everyone tried to force her to accept the marriage with the Lowes. Only Gilbert stood by her side, and Gilbert lost his position as head of the family to protect her!
The only person she could trust was Gilbert!
Since Gilbert said Leon and the Shears were the culprits, she still chose to believe in her father after some hesitation!
Seeing Iris not say anything, Leon obviously understood what Iris meant.
Suddenly, he felt like his life was destroyed. He completely lost hope in Iris.
The greater his hope, the more the disappointment!
Before that, he hoped for a day when he would get Iris back. He never abandoned his feelings for Iris, but from that moment on, even that hope was extinguished..
Since Iris distrusted him so much, there was no reason for him to dwell on her. It was better for him to let go. It was probably better for the two of them!
“Iris, you stupid girl! Leon’s done so much for you. It’s one thing for you to not accept it, but you even hurt him so much! You’ve really crossed the line!” Cynthia pointed at Iris as she shouted.
Even though Iris was her rival and she hoped that Leon would give up on Iris, Iris still constantly hurt Leon!
She could no longer look on!
“Cynthia, this has nothing to do with you!” Iris said coldly.
She was still a bit hesitant, wondering if she misplaced the blame on Leon again!
Yet, when she recalled that Leon was already with Cynthia, she had a moment of realization.
Leon was no longer her boyfriend, but the future son–in–law of the Shears. With Leon’s grudges against the Youngs, Leon probably already hated her family to the core. There was no way he would help her so sincerely!
“You dumb wretch! You really don’t know kindness when it’s given to you! You’ll regret it one day!” Cynthia was so angry she was shaking.
“Cynthia, it’s fine. You shouldn’t say anything anymore. Since she doesn’t believe us, there’s nothing more to say.”
Leon let out a sigh of sadness.
Iris’s constant distrust of him completely wounded his heart.
From that moment on, his heart was already too tired. He gave up on Iris!
“Leon, don’t be sad. You still have me. Honestly, the Youngs are no good anyway. Stop dwelling on this. Let’s just go.”
Cynthia consoled Leon before she pulled at Leon’s arm, planning on leaving the place.
Leon shook his head.
He already said that he would make sure Iris was safe that day. Even if Iris did not trust him, he would make sure to fulfill his promise!
Those were his own principles. He would make sure he had no regrets!
However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the Youngs.
“You want to leave? It won’t be so easy!” Melvin said coldly. He led a few of the elders to cut off Leon and Cynthia’s escape.
“Leon, you worked with the Shears to sabotage the Young Group, forcing us into so much danger! We’ll make sure you pay for that today!”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 843
Melvin had a cold and murderous look in his eyes.
The other Youngs were the same, all of them looked at Leon with hatred.
“Mister Young, I’ll say this again. Harold is the person behind that venture capital company. It has nothing to do with me,” Leon said unhappily, but he was interrupted by Melvin before he could finish
“Stop with your nonsense! With things as there are, you’re still trying to destroy our relationship with the Northern King. You’re too ruthless! We’ll teach you a lesson today and get justice for the Young Group!”
Melvin sneered as he launched himself forward with a terrifying aura, quickly charging at Leon.
“Despicable! Mister Wolf has helped the Hunts a great deal. Anyone who wants to harm him will have to pass through us first!”
Quinton let out a cold smile as he raised his hand. The old man who was at the Overlord state stepped
forward to face Melvin’s attack.
Bang!
With an intense clash, Melvin and the old man found themselves evenly matched.
With Melvin and the old man starting to fight, the Youngs and the Hunts attacked as well as the battle started again.
Harold was ecstatic at the sight.
The Hunts were incredibly strong. If it was just him and the Lowes, they would not have been able to beat the
Hunts.
Yet, the Youngs and the Lowes were already working together. There was no way the Hunts would be able to
win!
“Leon, you’ve constantly made an enemy of the Lowes. I just never found the chance to properly deal with you! Since you were looking for death today, I’ll grant you your wish!”
Harold sneered as he shot forward, charging right at Leon.
“Scoundrel, don’t you even dare!”
The old man forced Melvin back before he turned around and attacked Harold’s back, forcing Harold to
abandon his attack on Leon.
“Old man, I’ll get rid of you first, then I’ll slowly deal with Leon!”
Harold was furious. There was a murderous look in his eyes as he charged forward and worked with Melvin
to deal with the old man.
The old man was fighting two against one, and the pressure on him increased immensely. He was quickly at a disadvantage, and was only able to be on the defensive!
However, he was still someone at the Overlord State. He could not be dealt with easily. Even with Harold and Melvin working together, it would not be that easy to defeat him quickly!
“Quinton, they have the numbers advantage. We won’t be able to hold them back. You should leave with Mister Wolf first, and I’ll cover your retreat!”
The old man saw that the situation was not good. He hurriedly asked Leon and Quinton to leave.
As long as Quinton and Leon were safe, he would be able to run away easily with his skills.
Quinton understood that they were in a bad position, and quickly told Leon,” Mister Wolf, let’s go. It will be too late if we delay anymore!”
“That-” Leon’s heart sank.
He promised to protect Iris and Gilbert. No matter how Iris treated him, there was no way he could just leave Iris and run away himself!
Yet, if he did not escape at that moment, Harold would not let him go when the Hunts lost!
“Stop right now!”
At that moment, a cold shot was heard. Benedict led a few experts from the Shears and walked right inside.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 846
“If the Youngs find any concrete evidence that proves that the Shears and I are the culprits, then I’ll let you do whatever you want to me!” Leon could see that Melvin was being swayed, so he made a promise. immediately.
Melvin’s expression immediately darkened when he heard that.
After a moment of hesitation, he quickly made a decision!
“Alright, you said this yourself! We’ll do as you want this time. Let’s put the matter aside first. If I find any evidence of you and the Shears‘ actions, the Youngs won’t let you off!” Melvin said coldly.
“What? How could you do that?!” Harold was shocked when Melvin and Leon reached an agreement.
The Lowes would not even be able to handle the Hunts alone, let alone Benedict and the Shears!
If Melvin and the Youngs were going to take a step back, how were the Lowes supposed to fight the Hunts and the Shears?!
“Mister Young, the truth is right in front of you. Leon and the Shears are the main culprits. Don’t be fooled by Leon!” Harold said anxiously.
“Northern King, I think that Leon’s right. This is an important matter. We can’t just play around with it. The Youngs need to think about the bigger picture!” Melvin said calmly..
He knew that Harold was not a good person. Not too long ago, Harold just used his strength to threaten the Youngs to kick Gilbert out of being the family head. He did not like Harold that much!
He just helped Harold earlier because he guessed that Leon was possibly the culprit behind everything. He just wanted justice for the Youngs.
With Leon and himself already reaching an agreement, the Youngs would naturally not continue helping
Harold!
“Harold, it’s time for us to settle our debts!” Leon said coldly.
Harold did not only want to forcibly take Iris away, but even attacked him and broken his arm.
There was no way Leon could just let that go!
“You-”
Harold’s expression darkened, but there was nothing he could do.
Leon had the help of the Hunts and the Shears at that moment. The Lowes were alone and were no match for the Hunts and the Shears. He was forced to shoot Daisy a look for help.
Daisy understood it and hurriedly walked forward.
“Leon, don’t be too arrogant! I’m warning you, this is Young territory. You can’t do whatever you want here!
Daisy said coldly.
ΤΙ
“Daisy, what’s the meaning of this? I’ve clearly already reached an agreement with the Youngs. You’ve agreed not to interfere with this. Are you going to go back on your words?!” Leon frowned, feeling like
something was off.
When the Hunts and Harold started fighting, it was Daisy who tried to protect Harold, getting the Youngs to help!
At that moment, Daisy was trying to help Harold again. Was that not too strange?
Daisy was Gilbert’s wife, and had nothing to do with Harold. He could not understand why Daisy would
constantly try to protect Harold!
“Daisy, this is a matter between Leon and the Northern King. It has nothing to do with the Youngs. I feel like it’s better if the family doesn’t get involved!” Melvin said in a hurry. He was also getting suspicious, not understanding why Daisy insisted on interfering.
“I-”
Daisy was speechless.
Even though she already took control of the Young Group and her son assumed the position of head of the family, Melvin was still very powerful within the family. If she insisted on defying Melvin to help Harold, she would probably not be able to explain it to the others!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 844
When Leon started to fight against Harold, Cynthia already secretly sent Benedict a message since she realized the situation was not good.
Upon Cynthia’s cry for help, Benedict immediately gathered a few experts from the family and rushed over.
When he saw that Leon and Cynthia both seemed to be safe and sound, he let out a sigh of relief.
“Grandfather, you’re finally here! That’s great!”
When she saw Benedict there, Cynthia was elated. She rushed right over.
Leon was happy as he finally relaxed.
As opposed to Leon and Cynthia’s excitement, the Youngs quickly looked sullen. All of them had an uneasy feeling in their hearts.
Harold in particular looked at Leon in such a pleased manner earlier, but he could not smile anymore!
“Cynthia, are you and Leon fine?” Benedict asked with concern.
“Grandfather, I’m fine, but Leon’s injured. His arm was broken by Harold. You have to get revenge for him!” Cynthia said with a huff.
“What? How dare you, Harold?! Leon is an important partner to us, but you actually attacked him despite your age. You’re so dishonorable!”
Benedict was furious. He waved and unleashed a terrifying aura that charged right at Harold.
“Intermediate Overlord State!”
Harold’s expression changed.
Even though he was already at the Overlord State, Benedict was at the intermediate Overlord State. Benedict was stronger than he was, and Benedict was not someone he could handle!
He did not dare to face it head on, and he avoided Elder Shear’s attack!
“Initial Overlord State!”
“Harold, I can’t believe you’re already at the Overlord State. No wonder you were so arrogant!”
Feeling the power in Harold’s body, Benedict was quite shocked.
The various families in Springfield City all knew that the two Kings were at the Semi Overlord State. No one expected Harold to have seized the initiative and broken through to the Overlord State before Vincent did!
With Harold’s age, the fact that he managed to get to the Overlord State put him at the top of his generation in Springfield City!
Most importantly, Harold was not that old. He still had chances to grow even stronger in the future!
Then, it would not be that hard for him to exceed the elders of the four great families!
With that in mind, Benedict’s expression became much more serious.
Chapter 844
2/2
On the other hand, the Hunts were in a large battle with the Youngs and the Lowes. With Benedict’s sudden appearance, everyone stopped fighting. The two sides faced each other.
“Elder Shear, you came at the perfect moment! You Shears constantly worked with Leon to sabotage the Young Group. It’s time for us to settle the score!” Melvin shouted.
The Shears worked with the other families to pressure the Young Group. It was an ordinary business move, so he could forget about that.
However, Leon and the Shears sabotaged the Young Group in secret with despicable methods. It was no longer just business!
The Youngs needed their revenge!
“What score?”
Benedict was stunned.
The Shears definitely took advantage of the Young Group’s struggles and earned a lot of profits.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 845
However, Leon did not have any relation with that at all. The Shears and Leon never did anything shady together before, so he could not understand what Melvin was saying!
Before Benedict could answer, Leon stepped forward.
“Mister Young, I’ve already explained very clearly. The person behind the venture capital company was Harold. This has nothing to do with me and the Shears! I hope you won’t fall for another trick because of some petty and sly man’s words!” Leon coldly wanted.
“A load of nonsense! I have my own thoughts on this. You don’t have to bother trying, brat! In the end, you and the Shears have to give us an explanation today, or none of you will be able to leave!” Melvin said stubbornly.
“With just you? What a joke! Melvin, if Elder Young were here, I might have been scared. It’s just a pity that he’s already sick! You’re just at the initial Overlord State, you have no right to act so arrogantly in front of me!” Benedict laughed in disdain as he spoke, not taking Melvin’s threats to heart at all.
“Is that so? Let’s see who really has the upper hand!” Melvin sneered.
Even though he was a level lower than Benedict, they were still at the Youngs‘ home turf. They had many numbers on their side.
Other than himself, the Youngs had several other Semi Overlord State experts!
If they worked together to attack, it was hard to tell who would win!
“Melvin, are you planning on fighting me until the end? Fine, I’ll grant you your wish! Let’s see what the Youngs can do to the Shears!”
Benedict’s face turned cold as he unleashed his killing intent.
With Benedict and Melvin clashing head on, both sides were once again at odds. The atmosphere became incredibly tense!
“Hold it!”
Seeing a battle about to erupt, Leon shouted out for them to stop.
After what happened, he was very certain that Harold was the person behind the venture capital company. At the same time, he could guess that Harold had bad intentions for the Youngs!
If the Youngs and the Shears both heavily damaged themselves from this conflict, then Harold would be the only person who benefitted from it all!
It was not something Leon wanted to see happen.
“Leon, do you have anything to say?” Melvin looked at Leon coldly.
“Mister Young, since you keep on saying the Shears and I are the culprits, do you have any proof? You should know very well how important this matter is. If you make a conclusion without any evidence, it’d be far too reckless! Then, the Youngs and the Shears will form a meaningless grudge, or both sides would suffer heavy losses. Are you really going to bear that responsibility?!” Leon said coldly.
“That-”
Melvin suddenly looked incredibly hesitant.
He knew that Leon was right. He just made a conclusion because Leon bought Elegante in secret, on top of Harold’s words.
However, it was still just speculation in the end. He did not have any concrete evidence!
If this matter got much bigger and they found out that Leon and the Shears were not the culprits in the end, what was he supposed to do?
“Mister Young, I think we should just put the matter aside for now! Don’t worry, whether it’s you Youngs or the Shears, we can both work together to look into this matter!“
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 847
Chapter 847
Yet, considering her relationship with Harold, there was no way she could just ignore the man!
Just as she was caught in a difficult spot, she suddenly had an idea in her mind.
“Uncle, you should know everything well. The Young Group managed to get past this difficult stage because of the Northern King’s help. He’s our benefactor. If we just let him die like this, it would be too dishonorable! On top of that, he’s a guest that we invited over this time. If we just let Leon and the Shears do whatever they want with him, then it would be hard for us to explain if words got out!” Daisy said firmly.
“That-”
Melvin had nothing to say about that.
Even though Daisy was a bit suspicious, it was not like what she said was unreasonable.
After all, Harold was a guest the Youngs invited over. If anything happened to Harold in their own territory, it would be really bad for their reputation!
The moment anyone else found out about it, they would think that the Youngs were afraid of Leon and the Shears. Then, the Youngs would become a complete laughing stock!
With that in mind, Melvin was quickly convinced by Daisy for the sake of the family reputation.
“Elder Shear, the grudges between you and the Northern King are unrelated to the Youngs, but this is still our territory. I hope you won’t cause the Northern King any trouble for our sake! Once the Northern King leaves, you can do whatever you want with each other, and we won’t interfere!” Melvin said.
“Impossible! Harold was despicable and attacked someone younger, breaking Leon’s arm. We are demanding justice for Leon!” Cynthia shouted angrily.
“Elder Shear, is that what you feel as well?” Melvin was unhappy as he looked at Benedict.
Benedict frowned, hesitating a little.
He knew that the major families always cared about their reputation. This concerned the Youngs‘ reputation. If he insisted on attacking Harold, and angered the Youngs, it would do them no good!
Of course, with Leon’s relationship with the Shears, there was no way he could let Harold off so easily after
Harold broke Leon’s arm!
“Melvin, the Youngs are the masters here. Since you’ve already said it, I won’t tarnish your reputation! However, Harold broke Leon’s arm, that’s something that can’t be denied. He has to give us an explanation for that today.”
Saying that, Benedict paused before he added, “Why don’t we do this? Harold, for the sake of the Youngs, I’ll give you one chance. As long as you take three strikes from me, we’ll let this matter rest!”
Benedict gave an idea.
“Three strikes?”
Harold’s heart sank, cursing Benedict’s cunning!
Benedict’s suggestions were already incredibly appealing for the Youngs. It was basically forcing him to agree!
“Fine, I’ll agree!”
Harold made his decision, forcing himself to agree.
Even though Benedict was at the intermediate Overlord State, Harold was not weak either!
With his skills, he should be able to take three strikes from Benedict without any problem! Seeing as Benedict and Harold both agreed, the Youngs naturally had nothing to say.

Chapter 847
Yet, considering her relationship with Harold, there was no way she could just ignore the man!
Just as she was caught in a difficult spot, she suddenly had an idea in her mind.
“Uncle, you should know everything well. The Young Group managed to get past this difficult stage because of the Northern King’s help. He’s our benefactor. If we just let him die like this, it would be too dishonorable! On top of that, he’s a guest that we invited over this time.

Once the Northern King leaves, you can do whatever you want with each other, and we won’t interfere!” Melvin said.
“Impossible! Harold was despicable and attacked someone younger, breaking Leon’s arm. We are demanding justice for Leon!” Cynthia shouted angrily.
“Elder Shear, is that what you feel as well?” Melvin was unhappy as he looked at Benedict.
Benedict frowned, hesitating a little.
He knew that the major families always cared about their reputation. This concerned the Youngs‘ reputation. If he insisted on attacking Harold, and angered the Youngs, it would do them no good!
Of course, with Leon’s relationship with the Shears, there was no way he could let Harold off so easily after

Benedict gave an idea.
“Three strikes?”
Harold’s heart sank, cursing Benedict’s cunning!
Benedict’s suggestions were already incredibly appealing for the Youngs. It was basically forcing him to agree!
“Fine, I’ll agree!”
Harold made his decision, forcing himself to agree.
Even though Benedict was at the intermediate Overlord State, Harold was not weak either!
With his skills, he should be able to take three strikes from Benedict without any problem! Seeing as Benedict and Harold both agreed, the Youngs naturally had nothing to say.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 849
“Elder Shear, thank you for your lesson today. I’ll remember it and pay you back some day!” Harold clutched his chest as he crawled up the ground, his face full of hatred.
“Let’s see if you have the skills in the future!” Benedict sniffed.
Harold was just at the initial Overlord State. There was still a wide gulf between them. It would probably take at least eight to ten years for Harold to exceed him.
Before that happened, it would be a pipe dream for the Lowes to fight the Shears!
“Harold, now that the three strikes from Elder Shear are done, it’s time for the Hunts to deal with you!” Quinton sneered as he walked forward with the experts from the Hunts.
“Quinton, what’s the meaning of this? Elder shear already agreed to put things aside after three strikes from him! Are the Hunts planning on going against that?!” Harold’s expression sank.
“That’s right, Elder Shear did say so, but Mister Wolf and the Shears‘ conflicts against you have nothing to do with us! You stole three Pure Energy Pills from the Hunts. If you don’t give us a satisfactory answer, we won’t let the matter rest!” Quinton said coldly.
Before Harold could answer, Daisy could no longer hold back as she stepped forward.
“Despicable, you Hunts shouldn’t try to take advantage of the situation! Elder Shear and the Northern King already agreed to three strikes, and the Youngs were the witnesses. Your family silently agreed to it just now too! The three strikes are already over, but you are trying to do something again. Do you think the Youngs will just sit back and do anything?!” Daisy shouted. She represented the Youngs, and prepared to help Harold.
After what she said, Melvin and the Youngs looked very unhappy as well. The Hunts were really just ignoring
them!
“That’s nonsense! Our family has no intention of making an enemy out of you, nor are we planning on tarnishing your reputation!” Quinton said calmly.
“Then what do you want?” Melvin asked.
“Why don’t we do this? Our conditions will be the same as the Shears!”
Saying that, Quinton looked at Harold and said coldly, “Harold Lowe, for the sake of the Youngs, we’ll give you a choice. Either you take three blows from my uncle right now and the matter will be settled, or you. compensate our family for the losses!”
“You can make the choice yourself!”
“You!”
Harold was absolutely furious when he heard that.
With the matter as it was, the Hunts were already sure that he was the masked attacker. It was the truth as well, so there was no point for him to try and deny it!
Other than that, the old man’s skills were at the same level as his. If it was before, it would have been easy for him to take three blows from the old man!
Yet, one of his arms was already broken by Benedict, and he had some injuries as well. There was no way he would be able to take three strikes!
In the end, Quinton was clearly trying to take the chance to get rid of him!
“Quinton, tell me, how do you want me to compensate you?” Harold’s expression was very dark.
He was already forced into a corner and had to lower his head. Since he could not take the old man’s attacks, he was forced to choose to compensate the Hunts.
“It’s simple, just return the three Pure Energy Pills and apologize to the Hunts!”
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 850
Quinton had a cold look on his face.
“Impossible! I’ve already used the Pure Energy Pills. Just name a price. I’ll pay for your losses according to the market price,” Harold shook his head and said.
“You…”
Quinton was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
After all, the Pure Energy Pills were something Leon made exclusively. It was incredibly rare. Since Harold already used them, there was no way Harold could return it to the Hunts.
“Whatever, let’s make it a hundred and thirty million then. As long as you compensate us with a hundred and thirty million, our grudges will end here!” Quinton said.
“If that’s the price, then so bite it. I’ll have someone send you the money later!” Harold’s face darkened slightly, but he quickly agreed.
Even though three Pure Energy Pills were not actually worth that much, it was still incredibly rare.
For the sake of settling the score with the Hunts, he was forced to agree.
“That’s more like it!”
Quinton and the Hunts looked much calmer when Harold agreed.
After that, both sides were placated, and the matter was to be put at rest.
“Leon, everything’s over. Let’s go,” Cynthia pulled at Leon’s arm and said.
“Just one moment.”
Leon shook his head as he looked at Gilbert and Iris. He said with a complicated expression, “Mister Young, Iris, I said I wouldn’t let anyone hurt you two just now. You two should leave!”
He would make sure to accomplish what he promised.
“You don’t have to act like a good person,” Gilbert said coldly.
After that, he was helped into a wheelchair by Iris before he motioned for her to push him. The two of them left without looking back.
Looking at Iris’s slowly disappearing figure, Leon stood there, feeling incredibly sad.
He practically gave everything for Iris’s sake, and his arm was even broken by Harold. Yet, what he got was this result.
At that moment, he felt very bitter in his heart. He was deeply hurt by Iris.
“Leon, are you alright?” Cynthia looked at Leon with worry.
She knew about Leon’s feelings for Iris, and knew how much Leon gave up for Iris. She could understand how sad and miserable Leon felt at that moment.
“I’m fine.”
“Cynthia, let’s get engaged!”
Leon recovered from his sadness as he suddenly made an important decision.
“What did you say?”
“Y–You want to get engaged to me? Am I mishearing things?!” Cynthia was completely stunned. She could
not believe her ears.
“You heard it perfectly! Thank you for being with me all this time. If you’re willing, let’s get engaged in three days!” Leon said confidently.
After saying that, he felt relieved.
Sometimes, love was about letting go. Iris constantly distrusted him and hurt him deeply. From that moment. on, he planned on giving up on Iris, burying his love deep in his heart. That was probably the best choice!
As for Cynthia, she stayed by his side the whole time, and gave him a lot. He witnessed everything.
He was not completely emotionless!
After being with Cynthia for so long, he definitely developed feelings for her. Even though he did not love Cynthia as deeply as Iris, Cynthia still occupied an irreplaceable part in his heart!
