"Then why are you just keeping silent while watching that man insult me? You just stood there silently watching Edward talk as he pleased!" Leon said calmly, now he was totally disappointed on Claire.

Claire frowned. She folded her arms and said. "Did I hear right? Are you mad at me because I didn't defend you?"

Claire said disappointingly, "Leon, if you were a real man, you would definitely be able to stand up for yourself, or you could just accept his offer. Why are you relying on help from a woman?"

Claire became increasingly convinced that her decision to divorce Leon was the best decision. The man was nothing more than a loser.

Leon just keep silent at Claire's words. He mused. 'I'm not a real man? In fact, I've founded a company that is in the top 10 in the city. If Claire really thinks I'm not a real man just because I don't have any achievements, she's wrong!' He thought.

'So Claire hopes that I should accept that arrogant man's offer to become a waiter? I still can't believe that Claire likes to see me being looked down upon like that!' Leon kept grumbling in his heart.

Leon only wanted true, sincere love, not love based on wealth and material things. Seeing Leon, who was silent, Claire got up from her seat. She sighed as she glanced at Leon in disgust. "Leon, why are you just silent? That means what I said is true, right?"

"My silence doesn't mean it's true. You just don't get it, Claire!" replied Leon.

Claire chuckled. "Don't get it? What is it that I don't get it?" she teased.

"I don't want to talk about it!" Leon insisted. It was useless to talk to Claire because she had changed.

“Okay, Leon, I also want you to understand something about me now," Claire asked.

Leon wrinkled his forehead. "What is it?"

"From now on, don't even think about following me again! Remember, we are divorced, and our world is different too. What exactly do you expect from me by continuing to follow you? It won't make me want to be your wife, so stop wishing!" protested Claire as she pointed her index finger at Leon.

"I never really followed you, Claire! Don't ever think that I'm following you! Why couldn't I be invited to this party?" Leon dodged.

Even if he came to this party to avoid his ex-wife, how could Claire keep accusing him of following her? If Leon had known that he would meet Claire here, he definitely would not have come to this party.

Claire was really disappointed, "Sorry Leon, I never thought that the divorce would upset you so badly. But you need to be clear that even if we're divorced, you could still find a job and a common woman, enjoy your own life. We're not in the same world now."

Leon wanted to explain why he could be at the party, but there was no way he would. He still hides his true identity so he can see any arrogant people who look down on him.

"I hope today is the last day we meet!" Claire sighed in annoyance. "Don't ever follow me again, or I will report you to the police!" she threatened.

Leon tried to look calm, even though he was really emotional when he heard that Claire kept insulting him. Those dark hazel eyes were a sign that Leon's anger was gathering there. His hands clenched tightly with emotion. Without saying another word, Claire hurriedly left from there.

Leon stared at Claire's back, which was now getting further away from his sight. "I didn't expect that the woman I love so much wasn't a sincere woman. She is just a utilitarian woman," Leon muttered. He felt sorry for himself. So all this time, he has not found his true love.

At that moment, Leon's phone rang. He immediately received the call.

"Goodnight, Young Master. Sorry for bothering you," said the general manager.

"Yeah, no problem," Leon replied.

"Young Master, I heard that you have returned to being the heir? Congratulations, Young Master, I am very proud of you. I always believe that you can do it. You are great!" praised the general manager congratulating him.

A smile appeared on Leon's lips. At least he still got praise and recognition from others that he was not a loser like Claire told him. He felt his efforts were not in vain. There were still many people who can appreciate it.

"Thank you very much!" replied Leon. "By the way, how is the state of the company now?" he asked.

"Everything is going well, Young Master. But there is something. It's just that cooperation with your wife's company is not profitable, "explained the general manager.

Leon pondered. Of course, cooperation with Claire's company was unprofitable because he ordered his company to provide the best discount for Claire.

If it wasn't to make Claire happy, Leon wouldn't have done it. He just wanted Claire to be happy and proud, but now it ended with her constantly insulting and belittling him. How ridiculuous! Claire's company would find it difficult to develop without Leon's help.

"Yes, of course. I always told you to give her the best discount. It's no wonder that cooperation with Claire's company is not profitable," Leon responded.

"Yes, Young Master. I know that this is the best decision from you."

"Actually, this is not the best decision." Leon took a deep breath. He began to think about the continuation of this collaboration.

"Anyway, these two companies will soon become assets of the Jensen family," explained the general manager.

But Leon just replied calmly, "Assets of Jensen's family? I don't think so. We don't really need such a small company in our family."

The manager was cought off guard at first, but soon he understood Leon's mean.

    Leon and Jane come to Havelock to meet Elena's parents. When they got there, they saw, from a distance, Elena's parents, who were busy moving their belongings into a car.“Leon, are they Elena's parents?” Jane asked."Yes, they are Elena's parents."Jane frowned at them. It seemed like they wanted to move, considering the large suitcases they were moving into the car.“Jane, this way!” Leon grabbed Jane's hand and asked her to go through the back lane of the house because they didn't want Elena's parents to see them coming.“Hurry Renee! The sooner we leave, the happier we will be," said Joe, looking intently at his wife, who was moving a box into the car.Renee took a deep breath as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. “I'm so tired, Joe. Are you sure to leave here?” She looked at her house with teary eyes. “This house holds a lot of memories.”“If we don't leave soon, then we'll still be dealing with Leon. I want to live in peace, especially since we already have a lot of money an

    Dean was at his parents' house. Because his parents decided to live in the United States, the house was his. He was at the dining table, enjoying his breakfast.While he was spreading peanut butter on his bread, a maid suddenly came to him."Good morning, master," said the maid with a little bow. "What's the matter?" Dean responded."Mr. Rexa has just arrived, sir."Dean gasped. What's more, his father just moved to the United States a few days ago. Why did he suddenly fly to New Zealand?“He is here?”"Yes sir. He—" Before the maid had finished her words, Rexa's arrival diverted their gaze.“Father.” Dean immediately got up from his seat.“No need to be surprised. I flew here suddenly because I had business to finish," said Rexa as he poured juice into his glass and then drank it.“I've handled everything, Father. So I don't think you need to come here suddenly like this," replied Dean, crossing his arms over his stomach.Rexa was silent and did not reply to his son's words.“Then w

    “Belinda, what happened?” William approached Belinda, and Dean moved away from her.William stared sharply at Dean, as if suspicious of him.“There's a group of men with guns, sir. We don't know who they are, but suddenly they came into this room and shot Mrs. Belinda," explained one of Belinda's assistants. William's gaze turned towards her.“That's right, sir,” another assistant chimed in.William was silent for a moment. Seeing that no one else had been shot made him believe that the group of men wanted to attack his family.“Quickly take Belinda to the hospital! She must get medical help before it's too late," William ordered his subordinates. They immediately took Belinda away from there.The police came out of the room to immediately find out the whereabouts of the group of men. Everyone left the room, except William and Dean.Dean stepped forward, and when he reached the doorway, William spoke to him."Aren't you the son of Rexa Romano? What are you doing here?" William asked D

    The sound of the cell phone ringing distracted Leon's gaze. The man immediately took his cell phone from his pocket and accepted the call. He got a call from his subordinate.“Good afternoon, young master. There is something we want to tell you.”"What is that?" Leon's eyebrows knitted together, showing that he was curious about what his subordinate wanted to tell him.“We just arrived at the house that Mrs. Elena's parents rented, but they are no longer here. The home owner said they just left a few days ago.”The man's words surprised Leon. "What?" Leon got up from his seat and dropped the newspaper he was holding.“That's right, sir. Didn't they tell you they were leaving?”“No, they didn't say anything. Quickly find out why they suddenly left there. I'm sure they must be hiding something.”"Yes sir."Call ended.Leon immediately checked Elena's parents' number and tried to contact them.

    “Who is her father? Have I ever met him?” Dean's brows furrowed even more when he heard his uncle's words."He was at the same event with you; you just didn't realize it," Finley replied.Dean took a deep breath. He was about to leave there, but Finley held him back.“Wait, Dean! Don't go!"“What, Uncle? I don't want to know anyone now. I just want to focus on my company," said Dean in an annoyed tone.“But this is a great opportunity. If you can marry her, our family's power will increase.” Finley kept trying to convince Dean, hoping his nephew would change his mind.Dean shook his head. “No, Uncle. I'm not interested in that.” He immediately left there without paying attention to Finley.“This is absolutely ridiculous! He tried to match me with many girls, but he himself chose not to marry. Sometimes I wonder about my own family," Dean continued to mutter as he got into his car."Dean, wait!" Finley shouted as he ran towards Dean.Dean rolled his eyes as he took a deep breath when h

    "So you will stay here?" Rexa looked at Dean with a cold gaze.Dean nodded. “Yes, Father. I will still be here. I also prefer to be in New Zealand instead of another country."Rexa's gaze turned to Juliet.
