The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 13

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 change her mind is probably the old man.Iris watched as Gilbert and Daisy left her sight before sitting back down on the sofa with a sour expression.Leon opened his mouth to comfort Iris, but he was never good with words and so did not know what to say.Some long later, Iris’s mood gradually calmed down.“I’m sorry, Leon. I said all that just to piss off my dad and Daisy. I didn’t intend to use you as a shield. I hope you don’t mind,” Iris said apologetically.“I know… and I don’t mind…” Leon said resoundingly.Iris was the Youngs’ eldest young lady, unlike a divorcee like him.He was also famously known as a good-for-nothing who had no parents and lacked any prospects in life.The gap between the two of them was like the difference between the earth and the sky.He never hoped that Iris would like him for real, and he almost certainly did not have to expect anything unrealistic from her. “I’m going to take a shower first…” Leon remained silent for a moment before leaving the living room in a haste… After taking his shower, Leon changed into the high-end clothes that Iris bought for him, and his entire character instantly became so much fresher than before. There was a tremendous improvement in his outlook too, almost several times that of before.Iris’s eyes lit up instinctively when he looked at Leon again.As the saying went, clothes make the man.Leon’s appearance was not too bad in itself, so the suit he wore made him look more elegant, almost like a top dog in the workplace or a domineering

male CEO.Generally speaking, Leon’s appearance fell into the category of the attractive type. He might not stand out much at first glance, but he looked even more handsome with each passing look and possessed a unique masculine charm.At that point, the nanny, Jenny, prepared lunch in the kitchen after coming back from a brief grocery run.Iris moved out of her family home and lived alone ever since she graduated from university.Rather than staying alone at the villa, she hired a nanny named Jenny to take care of the place.After lunch, Iris asked, “Leon, my grandfather knows that you rescued me last night and he wishes to see you. Would it be convenient for you right now?”“Sure.”Leon nodded and left with Iris.…The Youngs’ manor was a large, typical old-style mansion that was situated in the middle of a garden.Inside the main hall, Leon followed Iris and met Elder Young—the head of the Youngs.The 70-something Elder Young sat at the hall’s main seat. He seemed to have a very kind character, but at the same time, he possessed a calm and somewhat indifferent aura of an elite who remained a prominent figure throughout the years.Elder Young’s health has been deteriorating in the past two years, the cause of which was likely his old age. It got worse day after day.He thus decided to take a back seat and hand over management of the company’s affairs to his son Gilbert.Even so, he remained the patriarch and the Youngs’ spiritual pillar.As long as he was alive, the foundation of the Youngs will continue to remain firm, unwavering, and rock solid!Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
