Chapter 108 You Shouldn’t Pay For This
Lizzie waited downstairs while Leo and Marie went upstairs to Lydia’s office.
“Lydia, just let me have Leo for one night.” Marie giggled when she entered the office.
Lydia looked up in alarm and scanned Leo and Marie, “You… what are you going to do?”
Leo was embarrassed and coughed, “Marie, rephrase it.”
Marie stuck out her tongue and beamed, “Well, it’s just a dinner. I won’t steal your husband away.”
“Marie!”
Lydia pounded on the table and was shamed into anger, “Watch your language or I will send you back to Valenham!”
Marie immediately dragged Leo out of the office.
“No, let me explain that…”
Leo immediately felt pressured and didn’t know how to handle this situation.
“Leo!”
Marie ran into the elevator and said, “Well, I can see that my sister does care about you and it’s just that she is holding it back.”
Leo twitched his mouth, “So you did that on purpose to annoy your sister?”
“Of course!”
Marie said proudly, “How will we know her feelings for you then?”
“Marie, you can’t…”
“Stop, Leo. Do you really have to lesson me like my sister?”
Marie complained, “The most important thing when we go out is to be happy. Since my sister agreed that you can go out tonight with me, you got to follow my lead.”
While they were chatting, they were downstairs and met Lizzie who had been waiting all this time.
The three got on a cab and went to a business district called BM Plaza which is close to the Emerdale University. There are students everywhere.”
Leo knew what Lizzie was going through on the way to the plaza.
As it turned out, ever since Lizzie dropped out of school for the family, Marie stared paying Lizzie’s tuition.
The school was of course pleased since they had heard Lizzie who ranked first in the city in her college entrance examination and just dropped out of school because of the family reasons which was a regret in the education circle of the Emerdale.
“I don’t know how to ever repay Marie, but I have kept tab of how much Marie paid for me and I will give her back when I got job.” Lizzie said seriously.
“There is no need of that.”
Marie waved her hand and didn’t seem to care, “It’s nothing. It’s equals to the cost of my purse.”
“But as far as know, you don’t have a lot of money now, right?” Leo directly pointed out.
“It’s okay.” Marie stuck her tongue awkwardly.
Leo didn’t say anything and took out a credit card, “Here is two hundred thousand yuan. You can pay Lizzie’s care with the money in this card. But you got to quit your wasteful habit.”
Marie was stunned and Lizzie was also looking at Leo in surprise.
“Leo, are you serious?”
Marie stressed, “This is two hundred thousand yuan and not twenty yuan.”
Leo handed the card over, “Just take it.”
Seeing that Leo was quite firm, Marie got silent.
Then she suddenly shook her head, “No, I can’t take this money.”
Though she knew Leo had a limited Rolls-Royce, it was that powerful woman’s. Leo didn’t really have a job, so how she can take his money?”
“Take it.” Leo repeated.
“No.”
Marie was pretty stubborn, “My sister would be mad at me if she knew I took your money.:
“Marie, I know that you are being considerate here, but you shouldn’t pay for this.” Leo said seriously.
Marie and Lizzie were both stunned.
“Just take it.” Leo said lightly.
Marie then slowly took the card as if there was a magic and said lowly, “Thank you, Leo.”
“Thank you too, Leo.” Lizzie sobbed.
After getting off the car, the three went to a pretty famous hot pot restaurant. After ordering a few dishes, Lizzie handed the menu to Leo, “Leo, see if these dishes are to your taste.”
Leo checked it and found that all of the dishes ordered were meat which was kind of expensive and just said, “Yeah, I’m not picky. This is okay.”
“Sure.”
Lizzie the called the waiter.
It was about dinner time and it was pretty crowded in the restaurant which made it quite noisy.
Leo’s phone then started ringing and he can’t really recognize the caller ID.
“I’m going to take a call.”
Leo got serious when he got out of the restaurant and then picked the phone.
Then a man asked over the phone, “Is this Mr. Cohen?”
“Are you… Darcey?” Leo was surprised.
“Yeah, it’s me?”
Darcey was silent for a while and then said seriously, “I accept your conditions, but are you really competent enough to take down Julton Pharmaceutical?”
Leo smiled, “I said that your undefeatable enemy is just an ant to me. With your help, everything would be easier.”
“I don’t like troubles, but it doesn’t mean that I’m afraid of them.”
“Okay, what do you need me to do!”
Darcey was quite excited.
“It’s easy. Help me to be witness of 316 Event” Leo said lightly.
Then Darcey was silent for a while and then took a deep breath, “Okay, I will reveal the truth to the public.”
Leo let out of a smile after handing up the phone. Julton Pharmaceutical was done for.
He then went back to the restaurant to have dinner, but right when he entered it, he saw a disgusting scene.
Several rascals were circling around Marie and Lizzie.
“Well, aren’t you two beauties. You are way better than those old women a few days ago…”
“Hey, sunshine, do you have time to have fun with us this evening? We sure would give you a huge reward.”
“What are you looking at? Just have your hot pot!”
They chuckled and all the waiters and customers dared not to say anything because they were clearly rogues.
“Fuck you.”
Marie was furious and wanted to kick those people but were stopped.
Right when Lizzie was about to take out of her phone and wanted to call Leo, a yellow-headed man grabbed her phone and threw it in the boiling hot pot.
“Want to call the police? In your dreams!” The yellow-headed man sneered at Lizzie and was about to slap her.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Lizzie closed her eyes out of fear, but the slap didn’t really land on her face.
She then opened her eyes cautiously and saw a tall figure.
Leo clutched that man’s hand and pointed at the phone in the pot, “Get it out!”
