Chapter 79
The Ex-Husband's Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 79
"I've lived with your family for three years, Marilyn. Even if hadn't done anything that deserves credit, I have at least worked hard for you. But the way you're treating me makes me feel that you don't have a conscience at all! This slap is my way of getting even with you! From now on, our relationship will be completely cut off!" Leon's eyes were cold and stern, and his expression was more indifferent than anger.
In his mind, he drew a clear line with Marilyn, and from then on, the two of them would become strangers who had nothing to do with each other!
"How could you..."
Marilyn was stunned. She covered her aching cheeks and looked at Leon in disbelief.
There used to be a time when Leon was beaten and berated by the Mansons in addition to living a life that was worse than that of a dog.
At long last, however, Marilyn finally understood that Leon's patience was not a sign of weakness. Once that ruthless spark in him was ignited, he could trample both her and Brody under his feet without batting an eye!
"Your grandfather has treated me like one of his own for three years, Marilyn, and I'm only letting you off the hook today for his sake! You and I will walk separate paths from now onward, and I promise that things will be much worse for you if you try to mess with me again!"
Leon snorted coldly and stepped forward to pick up his bag of jade. After that, he turned around and left without looking back again.
"Just wait, Leon! I'll make you pay for this!" Brody let out a hoarse, enraged roar as he watched Leon's figure drifting further and further away. There was a profound hatefulness and resentment in his eyes. It was already more than ten o'clock at night by the time Leon came home to Dragonbay Villas.
At this time, Jenny just made dinner, and she was eating with Iris in the kitchen.
"Leon! I thought you got off work earlier than I did? Why did you come back so late?" Iris asked curiously.
"Oh, I needed to buy some stuff."
Leon smiled, walked up to Iris, and sat down next to her. "Why are you having dinner

eating so late?"
"I just came back after working overtime at the company..." Iris replied curtly.
"Is it for that project again?" Leon quickly understood.
2/2
Iris worked overtime until past nine the previous night, and her overtime hours extended to nearly ten that night, which just goes to show that cooperation was very important to the company!
"Yeah. There isn't much time left to discuss it, and we need to prepare some of the frameworks and make several decisions as soon as possible in the next few days..." Iris was a little absent-minded, apparently still worried about it.
"What exactly is this project about? Could you tell me more about it?" Leon hesitated for a while and could not resist asking her about it.
He asked Iris about it the previous night, but Iris did not tell him what it was at the time.
"It's... Ah, never mind. The company will be holding a high-level meeting tomorrow, so do tag along with Gracie and attend. You'll find out more when the time comes, Iris said after pondering for a moment. It involved various aspects that made it a little tedious for her to explain it to Leon.
"Sure." Leon smiled happily.
That Iris allowed him to participate in the company's high-level meeting so quickly was something of a sign of trust in him, which made him feel rather happy.
"It's just a meeting. Why are you happy?"
Iris rolled her eyes at Leon, but his joy seemed to rub off on her and she could not help but burst out laughing. Her smile was undeniably charming and as beautiful as a hundred flowers in full bloom.
Iris knew that Leon was lacking in the business department and so probably could not help her much, and she never really planned to let Leon attend such high-level meetings so soon. Despite that, she could see from his persistent questions that he cared about her and wanted to do his part to help the company.
