Marilyn became increasingly angrier as she dwelled on what happened.Brody soon got up from the ground in dismay. He looked exceptionally miserable with a blue nose and a swollen face."Impossible! Iris is the Youngs' eldest young lady! She's a very respected person. None of Springfield City's rich and powerful young men ever caught her attention, so how did a piece of trash like Leon do it!""Maybe the two of them just happened to know each other..."Brody covered his face and groaned in pain.Iris was a goddess in his eyes, contrasting strongly with his low impression of Leon. He would sooner die than believe that there was a special relationship between Leon and Iris!"You're right! Iris couldn't have taken a liking to him unless she's blind... But on second thought, even if Iris was blind, she'd never fancy some garbage like him!"Marilyn smiled disdainfully, and his heart became felt a little more at ease."Who cares what kind of relationship they have?! It's all Leon's fa
"What's going on, Cheryl? Tell me what happened!" Wendell asked."Cousin! You came at just the right time. These two beggars are causing trouble and it's affecting our hotel's image..."The supervisor pointed at Iris and Leon with a contemptuous expression.Wendell looked in the direction of Cheryl's finger and immediately saw Iris.His first glance elicited awe, for he was captivated by Iris's beautiful face and noble temperament.On his second glance, his expression changed greatly, and beads of cold sweat began appearing on his forehead!Iris seldom appeared in public, and few of those who were not within the circle of rich or powerful individuals knew what she looked like.Wendell was never qualified to know Iris, but since the Youngs' business spanned many industries, they would usually entertain VIP guests or major customers of the company by arranging a stay for them at The Sovereign Hotel.It was by sheer fortune that Wendell was able to meet Iris once before, so he kne
Leon let his imagination run wild for a moment but quickly brought himself back to reality.He walked over to Iris and gently pulled her arm, whispering, "Don't worry about her, Iris. I'm used to this kind of treatment anyway..."Iris felt a pang in her heart. She sensed the bitterness and helplessness in Leon's words, along with a subtle hint of his insecurities."Miss Young, this is entirely Cheryl's fault. I will handle her appropriately and ensure she learns from her mistakes. Please consider giving her another chance," Wendell pleaded sincerely.His growing animosity towards Cheryl became evident. He knew he had to prevent her from causing more trouble in the future. While she may have been spared on this occasion, allowing her to continue with her mischief would eventually lead to his own downfall."Get up! Since my friend has chosen to forgive you, I will give you one more chance. I hope you'll learn to improve your behavior in the future!" Iris snorted coldly.She had the
"By the way, Leon, I remember seeing the man stab you with a dagger last night. Are you…alright? Would you like me to take you to the hospital?" Iris asked concernedly.She remembered having a clear view of the man stabbing Leon in the chest with the dagger, but strangely enough, Leon was alive and well as if nothing happened to him at all.Iris began to doubt if she saw it that time."I'm fine. My injury is fine."Leon touched his chest subconsciously, but he accidentally made contact with the wound. He frowned in pain as a result and could not help but let out a groan."What's wrong? Does it hurt? Okay, we're going to the hospital right now!"Iris stood up abruptly and had a nervous expression on her face."It's not that painful. The pain lasts for only a little while, and it disappears almost as quickly as it arrives. I don't think there's a need to go to the hospital."The pain gradually lessened as Leon rubbed it back and forth a couple of times.He wanted to take off his
"If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have discovered that you're raising some uncultured man at home!" the middle-aged man reprimanded coldly."Who are you calling uncultured?! Why do you have to say something so hurtful? Leon's my friend. Nothing is going on between us!"Iris showed her displeasure."Are you honestly telling us there's nothing between you two when you touched him like that? Who are you fooling? Can't you have a little dignity during the day, Iris? You might as well just get it on in the yard!" the gorgeous woman smiled sarcastically."It's none of your business! I can do whatever I want, and you have no right to order me around!"Iris glared at her, and the animosity between them was already starting to intensify."Gilbert, look at her! She's being cheeky, and rude!"The gorgeous woman shook the arm of the middle-aged man with a pretentiously pouty expression."What's gotten into you, Iris? Whether you like it or not, Daisy is still your mother. How can you talk
However, Leon was aware that he could not take the money because it was not his."It's always money with you. Do you think having money makes you so great? I already told you that I like Leon. I won't marry anyone else except for him! There's no way I'll let you separate us, not even over my dead body!" Iris retorted.Growing up, she never received any fatherly love ever since her mother passed away. Whenever she needed him most, her father would merely placate her by giving her money. It long reached a point where she was fed up with him!"Alright, suit yourself! I'm going to find your grandpa now!"Gilbert's face was ashen with anger and he turned around to leave.Over the years, the estrangement between father and daughter worsened, and their relationship has deteriorated as the years went by.With his daughter all grown up and having both her own company and career, he could not control her even if he wanted to.The only person in the family who can influence his daughter to
Aside from Elder Young, Gilbert and Daisy also sat beside him in the hall.Gilbert continued to give Leon a cold glare, as the incident in the villa had left a very negative impression on him.In contrast, Elder Young was friendly and even instructed his servants to pour tea and water for Leon, showing no sign of contempt or disdain."Let me introduce you to Leon, Grandpa. He's the one who saved me last night..." Iris recounted the entire story."Thank you very much for saving my granddaughter's life, Leon. We will always remember your kindness! It's our belief that a person's grace, no matter how small, should always be repaid in kind. Now, tell me, is there anything you would like? Our family will do our best to fulfill your wishes," Elder Young said with a cordial smile."Thank you, but I don't want anything," Leon replied, shaking his head.Leon had rescued Iris out of a genuine sense of justice and had never expected anything in return. Moreover, Iris had already helped rest
In terms of identity, background, or family business, Graham was far inferior to such a renowned family as the Youngs. When it came to reputation and status, however, he was at least on par with Elder Young.After all, anyone who fell ill would acknowledge him as the premier doctor in Springfield City. Many rich and powerful individuals have sought him out to treat them."I hope you'll excuse me for interrupting you all of a sudden, Elder Young. I wanted to reassess your condition..."Graham cupped his hands and smiled.Elder Young suffered a sudden illness half a month ago, where his chest felt tight and he had difficulty breathing.Graham was the one who cured Elder Young's disease back then.At that time, the two of them agreed that another review would be held in half a month, and if there no issues appeared in that later review, then the condition could be deemed completely cured."Thank you for taking the trouble, Graham.""You're more than welcome, Elder Young. This is a
