Chapter 751 Bickering
At night, the Silverhall Nightclub was bustling, with countless men and women coming in and out.
Couples held each other's hands, including Debra and Aron. Standing from above, Tim observed the noise happening below him like an outsider while other people were enjoying themselves in the club. Michelle hadn't accepted his friend request, and yet an unexpected guest came.
"Your coat has been washed, but Michelle's too busy to bring it to you. So instead, I brought it here myself," Leon said as he placed a bag in front of Tim.
Tim glanced at the bag and didn't look happy.
Before he could even say anything, Leon said frankly, "I know you like Michelle. You can like her, but you can't cause trouble in our lives."
"Michelle's not your biological sister, so it's none of your business." Victor snorted and raised his head arrogantly. "She should consider it a blessing that Mr. Shen likes her."
"True. It's always a blessing when someone likes her, but it doesn't mean that she has to accept it. After all, she only needs my love," Leon said calmly and with certainty. He wasn't fazed by Victor's unhappy tone. "What do you mean? Wait, you mean you also like Michelle?" Victor's eyes widened as his jaw slightly dropped. "Damn it! I thought you only saw her as your sister?"
"You also said that she's not my biological sister," Leon rebutted, using his own words against him.
The soft smile that formed in Leon's lips, as well as the way his eyes looked unshakeable hit Victor like a strong kick to the gut.
He didn't know what else to say and cursed beneath his breath.
Meanwhile, Tim kept silent. The entire time, he looked at Leon with complete indifference, as though he was an unimportant person. After a short lull, he said, "You haven't been together yet, I assume." "No, we haven't." Leon couldn't deny it.
Tim lit a cigarette and looked at him. "So it doesn't matter. It's not the end."
Leon chuckled. "I don't wanna be too straightforward. After all, Michelle's family is decent."
Even though he didn't say it explicitly, both he and Tim understood what was going on. Victor, who was standing at the side, glared at them and cursed, "Fuck you!"
"Stay where you are."
Tim stopped him. Victor was so angry that he wanted to throw himself at Leon and give him a good right punch. He reluctantly snorted from where he stood and placed one hand on the back of his chair, poised and ready to fight any second. If Leon dared to hurt Tim, he'd throw his chair at him.
Despite his violent stares, Leon wasn't afraid of him. Even Tim didn't dare to hurt him, let alone Victor.
Leon appreciated Victor's loyalty and devotion. He knew Tim must be worthy of his loyalty.
"I know what you mean," Tim said in a flat tone. "But since you're here reminding me, I also want to remind you of something."
He paused. Their eyes met like two sharp daggers, sparking and grappling in midair, each having the same level of intensity.
"Leon, you're too dazzling." With one last puff, Tim removed the cigarette from his lips and ground it against the ashtray. If Leon was any other person, he could easily deal with him.
But he wasn't.
For a second, Tim's expression looked soft. However, his intention was to mock Leon.
"You're like the sun in the sky. With your status, you can illuminate everyone and everything on C Island. But those who are only ordinary can't approach you, let alone be with you." He looked at the window and stretched his hand out, as though he was trying to touch the night sky. "Only the moon is a match for the sun."
His words pinched Leon's heart a little bit. He knew what Tim was saying was correct. Nevertheless, he thought it wasn't a sufficient reason for Michelle and him not to be together.
"So what?" he barked back.
Tim ignored his question and continued, "At John's wedding, I saw many fireflies. I think Michelle is like a firefly that can glow at night. When it's dark, she can light others. But during the day, she's nothing more than an ordinary firefly. Even though she's better than most ordinary girls, at the end of the day, she's still ordinary. She can only glow at night.
If a firefly flies to the sun, it will be courting death.
Fireflies are much suited in the dark. They can glow and make the night better. But if they approach the sun, they'll eventually get burned." Tim stared more intensely at him and smiled as though he had already won. At this point, Leon was starting to lose his cool as emotions started to well in his eyes.
As he watched Tim speak with eloquence, he realized that Tim had successfully deceived many people. People thought he was just a reckless man. But in reality, he was capable and had the ability to persuade others. But Leon didn't allow his fancy words to weaken his resolve.
"Michelle's more of a star. Not only can she light up the night sky, but she can also hang around with the rest of the celestial bodies." Michelle's cute face flashed in his mind, particularly her big twinkling eyes. Then, he stood up and left.
When Leon was gone, Tim smashed his fist on the table, which startled Victor. Slowly, he tried to leave by sliding his body against the wall. When he was already outside, he took a deep breath.
"It's so suffocating! I didn't understand a single word that they said!" Victor sighed helplessly. "Why didn't they just fight?
Since Mr. Shen succeeded in driving Leon away, he'll definitely win over Michelle."
He had absolute confidence in Tim to the point of worship. In his eyes, there was nothing that Tim couldn't do.
He swaggered out and saw Leon talking to a woman. From the looks of it, she looked very angry.
When he got a closer look, he was able to recognize her. "Shit! Isn't that Miles' daughter? Does she know him?"
As soon as Leon left, Victor immediately went downstairs and asked Debra about the situation. When he found out what was going on, he went back upstairs to report everything to Tim.
"Mr. Shen, there's a chance!" Victor ignored Tim's sullen face and pulled a chair to sit next to him. "Miles' daughter is Michelle's roommate. She said that Leon's a bad guy and has a girlfriend. Michelle used to like him, but now, she doesn't anymore."
A small smile appeared on Tim's face as his gloomy expression started to wither. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Victor.
Clicking his tongue, Victor continued, "Leon already has a girlfriend. But he said he likes Michelle. Does that mean he wants to make her his mistress? Mr. Shen, you must act quickly.
Why not move to a place next to Michelle's house?" Tim rubbed his aching temple, pondering over the suggestion. Victor clapped his hands, and an evil grin formed on his face. "Mr. Shen, do you want to move there or not? As soon as you give the order, I'll arrange everything for you. Before you know it, the two of you will be neighbors."
Tim thought it was a good idea and nodded.
As soon as he got the word, Victor took care of everything.
While Tim was rich, Victor was good at using Tim's power and money to get what he wanted. He hired a group of men to surround Michelle's neighbors and threatened them to move out.
It didn't take long for them to give in to Victor's demands as they rented their residence to him.00
