One Night with My Brother-in-Law のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

The tension in the air was palpable—until a deep, cold voice cut through from behind Jeslyn.“Did you just say Jeslyn is a doll?”It was Leonel.Dimitri turned around, slightly startled, though the thin smirk never left his lips. “Ah, Leonel. I thought you were still busy with Mr. Collins and Nakamura.”Leonel’s gaze was sharp, unreadable, with no trace of a smile. His eyes pierced through Dimitri like a silent warning.“I heard enough to know you’re talking recklessly about Jeslyn,” he said in a low but firm voice. “And before you go any further, let me remind you of something, Uncle Dimitri. I can tolerate many things. But disrespecting someone who's with me? That crosses the line.”“Relax, Leonel,” Dimitri chuckled awkwardly. “I was only joking.”“Unfortunately, your jokes are disgusting,” Leonel interrupted, stepping forward until only a meter separated them. “We’re not in a boardroom. I don’t need to be diplomatic.”Jeslyn looked at Leonel—relieved, yet worried. Meanwhile, Dimitr

“What the hell is this, Jefran? That woman you brought last night—wasn’t she Luna? Your ex-girlfriend?” demanded Mr. Clovies, Jefran’s father, facing his son in the study.“Yes, Dad,” Jefran replied calmly.“You can still stay this calm after what just happened? You’ve ruined our family name and the company’s reputation!”“I didn’t plan to meet her there, Dad. I didn’t invite her. Besides, Jeslyn already chose to leave with Leonel,” Jefran answered, trying to keep his composure.Mr. Clovies glared at his son, jaw clenched.“You think that justifies anything? You’re Jeslyn’s fiancé! The primary heir to Clovies Group! Every move you make is under scrutiny, Jefran!”Jefran remained still, though a flash of anger glinted in his eyes.“I didn’t mean to humiliate anyone. I’m just tired of pretending.”Mr. Clovies turned away, walking behind his desk and pressing his temples in frustration.“You’re getting married at the end of this month. We’ll hold a press conference to contain the news. A

“Did you really have to go that far?” Jeslyn asked, making Leonel turn toward her with a furrowed brow.“You’ve entrusted everything to me. So, I’ll use every bit of strength I have. Look—your wedding with Jefran is finally canceled. And now, your parents are on my side,” Leonel said with full confidence.“Yes, but the whole thing earlier was so awkward,” Jeslyn sighed. “I know you were just helping me, but did you really have to buy shares?”“Don’t you feel happy I did that? Now you can be with me,” Leonel asked, glancing at her.“I don’t know whether I should be happy or not. Especially since you made that fake statement earlier. Did you say you love me? That was ridiculous, Leo,” Jeslyn retorted.Leonel pulled the car over to the side of the road and unbuckled his seatbelt, turning fully toward her. “Do you think I just made that up?” he asked, locking eyes with her.Jeslyn returned his gaze, her heart pounding erratically. “You… mean it?” her voice lowered to a near whisper.Leone

“Blade, any updates? What did William discuss with Dimitri? Does it have anything to do with Clovies?” Leonel asked.Blade gave a short nod and handed him a black folder. “I managed to intercept part of their private conversation. William and Dimitri were indeed talking about Clovies. It seems they’re planning a move to obstruct you, Sir.”Leonel opened the tablet in his hand, his eyes scanning each slide of photos and transcripts quickly. His jaw tightened. “They’re desperate—bringing in outsiders, even.”“Not just outsiders,” Blade continued grimly. “Dimitri reached out to someone from the Valchev family. Apparently, they have evidence that could take you down. William agreed to fund the operation.”The Valchevs were a corporate mafia clan, Leonel’s rivals both in the underworld and in international business. At first, they had tried to approach Jefran through Dimitri, but when that failed, they turned to William—Leonel’s own uncle.Leonel closed his eyes for a moment, then let out

“Where is Jeslyn?” Leonel asked bluntly.“Jeslyn? Why are you asking me about her? Isn’t she yours now? Oh, right—stolen goods,” Jefran sneered with sarcasm.“I’m serious. Where is Jeslyn?” Leonel pressed firmly.“I don’t know where she is. I haven’t seen her since that dinner,” Jefran replied. “Oh, maybe Jeslyn’s running away from you because she knows just how rotten you are!”Annoyed, Leonel grabbed Jefran’s collar.“What? Going to hit me? Go on, hit me!” Jefran mocked.Leonel exhaled sharply and released his grip. His jaw tightened, eyes sharp as blades.“Don’t play games with me, Jefran. I can smell it—you’re hiding something.”Jefran smirked, his gaze filled with resentment. “You’re too confident, Leonel. Do you really think everyone still bows to you? No. There are people far braver than you, and Jeslyn made the right choice by staying away.”Leonel narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean?”“If you’re smart enough, you’ll figure it out yourself.” Jefran crossed his arms, deliberat
