Semua Bab The Ex-Husband's Revenge: Bab 881 - Bab 890

Cynthia's entire face blushed scarlet when she heard the compliment coming from the man she loved, and a surge of warmth spread into her heart.Of course, Leon was the star of the night and would be looking his equal best. He was wearing a powder blue tuxedo that complemented his chiseled features, tall, slender frame, and his air of grace perfectly, making him the center of attention anywhere he went. "Alright, stop rubbing this in our faces!" Harvey's voice rang out in displeasure as he strode toward them. "Leon, from today onwards, you'll become Cynthia's fiance! She's the only sister I have, so you have to treat her well. You're not allowed to bully her, and if I ever find out about it, I'll get you back for this!" Harvey said, patting Leon's shoulder in good nature."Mister Shear! Oh, wait, no, I mean Harvey—don't worry, I promise I'll take good care of Cynthia!" Leon replied, smiling."Alright, I believe you." Harvey grinned at him. He and Leon knew each other for a long t

The men in the crowd watched on in rage as Leon took out his engagement ring and slid it onto Cynthia's finger. Although most of the elders could see that Leon was a young man full of potential, most of the younger generation failed to recognize this! All they knew was that Cynthia was akin to a goddess, whereas Leon was just a nameless orphan. They did not think that someone like Leon was suited to be Cynthia's mate at all! Many people thought that this union was doomed to fail, and pitied Cynthia greatly! "Wait, I object to this!" All of a sudden, a cold voice rang out. Iris stepped forward and slowly strode onstage. "How stunning!" "That's Iris Young! Look at her—there's no wonder she's the prettiest out of the Four Beauties!" Everyone was momentarily stunned by her beauty, and expressions of awe and longing crossed the faces of the young men in the audience. Among the Four Beauties, Cynthia's beauty was second to only Iris, and now that they were both standing on t

"You!" Leon paused as a wave of emotions surged through his heart. He could not believe that Iris got on her knees to beg for his forgiveness in front of the entire city. He could only imagine how much courage that took! However, most importantly, Iris was always the love of his life. Even after what went through, his feelings for her did not change, but he just learned to suppress them with time. How could he even resist this, knowing that Iris gave up all her pride and dignity to beg for his forgiveness? He could no longer suppress the emotions that he felt, and was beginning to change his mind. Cynthia's face turned pale at this sight. She knew that Leon still loved Iris and that no man could resist any woman's tears. Now that Iris burst into tears right in front of Leon and even got on her knees to beg for reconciliation, she was worried that Leon would give in. What would happen to her then? "That's enough, Iris! I'm warning you—this is my and Leon's engagement, and

Iris let out a bitter chuckle as she took out a dagger, its blade glinting momentarily in the sun before the next moment, she raised it and drove it down straight into her chest! "Iris, no—" this happened so quickly that neither Louisa nor Ariel saw this coming, nor did they ever expect that Iris would kill herself for love. They were both so shocked that they froze in place, unsure of what to do. As for Leon, although he sensed that something was amiss, he was too far away to do anything, and by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late! With a sputter, the dagger slashed into her flesh, and bright red blood spilled out, turning her shirt red. "Have you gone insane, Iris?!" "Iris, how can you do this to us?!" Louisa and Ariel muttered with pale faces, their voices shaking with fear and panic. "How can this be?" Leon felt as though he was struck by lightning. A few moments later, he snapped out of his stupor and stormed toward Iris's side, grabbing her fro

He knew that Iris's soul was still there and could still hear him, therefore, he was making these promises in order to revive her will for survival! Then, he picked her up, strode to the center of the stage, and glanced at Benedict, who was sitting in the master seat. "I'm sorry, Elder Shear, I'm busy trying to save someone's life, and unfortunately, cannot continue with the rest of the ceremony anymore." "Leon, Iris already died, and we're all witnesses to this. I don't think you should waste your time and energy on this anymore!" Benedict furrowed his brows in displeasure. "No, she's not dead yet, and I'll save her!" Leon said determinedly. "Leon, are you insisting on canceling the rest of the ceremony and leaving?" The Shears looked annoyed at this. This engagement party was a grand one, and the Shears invited everyone from the upper class. If Leon were to cancel the ceremony or leave right then and there, this would no doubt humiliate the Shears and make them the laughings
