From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 164

The atmosphere of the birthday party was electric.

Leonard sat there quietly and looked at the people having fun, seeming out of place.

Lara was cheerful and quickly became familiar with Marianna’s friends in Parasoly.

Anne was ladylike. Although she didn’t talk much, she attracted the attention of men. Several men talked to her intentionally or unintentionally.

Eileen was quiet and aloof. Her temperament scared many men away.

Matt was the most popular man. He talked about business in front of a group of friends.

Hearing Matt’s words, Leonard knew Matt’s family was well off and that he was capable enough to run a company. Matt was Marianna’s admirer in high school.

Marianna chatted with her friends next to her but looked in Leonard’s direction from time to time.

Leonard found a trace of helplessness in her tender eyes.

Leonard thought, “Something must have happen to Marianna.”

Therefore, Leonard left the box with the excuse of going to the bathroom and dialed a number.

On the other end of the line, someone cursed when the call was connected.

“Who the hell are you? Why do you call me now?”

“Yannick, how dare you,” Leonard said coldly.

The man on the other end of the line gasped. Then, he was no longer arrogant and overbearing, and his voice became gentle.

“Mr. Santos, it’s you. Why do you call me?”

Countless vicious gangsters were imprisoned in the Iron Penitentiary. Some people killed a family in a rage, and some were overweening and didn’t even take Griffinland seriously.

Yannick was a heinous guy before he entered the Iron Penitentiary.

He used his power to bully others and did all kinds of evil. Parasoly was his sphere of influence.

“Do you know the Rodgers family? Help me investigate Marianna of the Rodgers family and what happened in the family,” Leonard ordered.

Leonard didn’t have a good impression of Yannick, an evil man.

When Leonard went to prison, Yannick was imprisoned for ten years. If Leonard were not strong enough, he couldn’t suppress Yannick.

“Okay, Mr. Santos. You may rest assured. I will do everything you ask me to do properly.”

Yannick was naked on the bed.

After he hung up the phone, the woman beside him was curious. It was the first time she saw Yannick talking to others that way. She asked, “Mr. Sinclair, who is on the other end of the line?”

“A guy I can’t afford to offend.”

Yannick cursed.

“Leonard, the most terrifying man, has come to Parasoly. I have to restrain myself.”

Thinking of the scene of being punished by Leonard in prison, Yannick couldn’t help but feel angry.

Ten minutes later, Yannick put on his clothes and left the villa.

Leonard turned around and saw Eileen looking at him not far away. Her eyes were beautiful.

“You also noticed something strange about Marianna, so you asked someone to investigate her, didn’t you?” Eileen asked.

“Yes,” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Leonard nodded and asked, “Why did you come out?”

“I followed you when I saw you going out. I wanted to talk to you about Marianna but didn’t expect you to notice that.

“The Rodgers family is powerful in Parasoly. Your friend must be cautious when he investigates the Rodgers family’s affairs. Otherwise, you may be in trouble,” Eileen reminded kindly.

“Don’t worry, the Rodgers family dare not to offend my friend.”

Leonard smiled.

Eileen couldn’t help but think about the information in Leonard’s words.

There was a man in Parasoly who even the Rodgers family dared not to offend, but that guy was vicious.

Leonard was rude when he called. How could that tyrant be reprimanded that way?

Leonard walked toward the box. Seeing that, Eileen hurriedly followed.

When they walked in side by side, many people couldn’t help but look surprised.

Eileen had always given people the impression of being aloof, but she seemed close to Leonard.

Those who didn’t know Leonard couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

Even Matt felt uncomfortable.

Marianna liked Leonard. It was said that Marianna rejected the marriage with Zavier, the eldest son of the Olsen family, because of Leonard. Moreover, Leonard was close to Eileen. Why?

The mood of the birthday party was resolutely up. Someone closed the curtains and blew out the candles. Then, they cut

the cake.

Marianna’s cheeks were rosy. The atmosphere made her temporarily forget her worries.

The girls next to Marianna couldn’t wait to open the gifts after Marianna agreed,

Everyone’s gift was unique.

Matt’s gift was opened. It was a diamond necklace, probably costing tens of thousands of dollars. It was valuable.

Matt couldn’t help but stand straight proudly.

At that moment, Lara picked up Leonard’s gift.

She was curious about what Leonard, who lived in Shoal Manor, would send to Marianna.

Marianna wanted to open it herself, but Lara took a step ahead. It was impossible to get the gift back.

“Wow, so beautiful!”

When the box was opened, many girls‘ eyes glittered.

It was a crystal amethyst with a pair of wings carved on it. The wings were lifelike, and the gem was beautiful.

“I know it. It is Angel Wings carved by a master,” someone said loudly.

A look of surprise crossed Marianna’s face.

Which girl could resist such a crystal gem?

Many people present did not know Leonard. They looked at him in surprise.

The Angel Wings was about 600 thousand dollars.

Spending 600 thousand dollars on a gift showed that Leonard was financially strong.

“Is it handmade by a master? Who knows if a studio processes it?” Matt said with jealousy when he was overshadowed.

“Marianna, let me help you put it on,” Lara said, holding the necklace.

“The gift is from Leonard, so Leonard should help Marianna put it on,” Anne said.

“That’s right!”

Although Lara was lively and cheerful, she was not thoughtful in what she said and did.

Leonard took the necklace and put it on Marianna’s fair neck.

The gem and the beauty complemented each other.

Marianna looked extremely beautiful at that moment.

“Thank you,” Marianna said sincerely.

A smile brightened her face.

“Marianna, are you worried about something?” Leonard asked.

“No.”

Marianna shook her head.

However, she was panicked.

“What are you two talking about? Should we leave and give you some private space?” Lara came over and said.

“We said Lara was beautiful. If we sell you, we will get a lot of money. Anyway, Parasoly is my territory, and no one will know if I sell you, Marianna joked.

“Well, Marianna, you are so vicious. I’ll teach you a lesson.”

With that, Lara jumped to Marianna, waving her hands to tickle Marianna.

After Lara joked with Marianna, the atmosphere became more lively.

Leonard felt a few men were constantly watching the box. He silently lit a cigarette.

Marianna didn’t say anything, which meant something was wrong.

Leonard didn’t come to Parasoly last time, so he owed Marianna. He decided not to watch Marianna get into trouble.

“The Rodgers, I haven’t settled the accounts with you for suppressing the Santos Group. I’ll settle all the accounts with you
