“Such a waste to have such good conditions and end up hanging on a crooked tree.”
“This isn’t just any crooked tree, it’s clearly a piece of rotten wood.”
The voices of the crowd were like invisible artillery fire, attacking only one target: Leo.
Seeing Leo standing in front of Sophia, Colby William looked nervous and instinctively took a step back.
He remembered clearly that it was this guy who kicked him away that day.
Wait, didn’t he ask Carey to break his limbs? Why is he still standing here today?
Could it be that Carey hasn’t started yet?
That must be it. This bastard can stand here today because he’s lucky.
Colby William put away the ring box and took out a bank card from his wallet and handed it to Leo.
“There are five million dollars in this card. The money is yours as long as you leave Sophia!”
“Five million? This freeloader won’t earn so much money in his whole life.”
“The feeling of slapping someone with money is really satisfying.”
Leo also reached into his wallet and took out a bank card: “I’ll give you ten million. Disappear from my sight immediately!”
So using money to slap me is what he wants? I can do that too!
When they heard the number ten million, the scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone was stunned. A freeloader dared to compete with Colby in wealth?
Did he hit his head on something?
After a brief silence, everyone burst into laughter.
“Just take out any card and say there’s ten million inside. There’s no cost at all for showing off like this.” A man said as he took out a card from his wallet. “Look everyone, my card has one billion dollars inside!”
The laughter grew louder.
“If this freeloader can come up with ten million dollars then I’ll livestream myself eating shit on Tiktok!” Another guy shouted loudly.
Colby William smiled disdainfully at Leo: “Bro, do you really think you can compare wealth with me by randomly taking out some cards? Have you been kicked by donkeys or something? Do you think showing off some bank cards means declaring yourself as the richest person in the world? I have to say your daydreaming has been taken to its extreme.”
Leo sneered once before taking back the bankcard and grabbing the necklace from beside him instead.
This action startled Colby William: “What are you doing? Put down the necklace! If you break it, you won’t be able to afford it for generations!”
“This necklace is fake!” Leo said nonchalantly.
Colby William suddenly burst into laughter. “You hick! This is the world-renowned Queen’s Heart necklace. I don’t blame you for not knowing, since you’re just a parasite attached to women.”
As soon as Colby William finished speaking, there was a sound of cracking.
The diamonds on the Queen’s Heart necklace shattered in Leo’s right hand and turned into powder as he rubbed his fingers together.
“Although I don’t know about the Queen’s Heart, I do know that real diamonds are very hard. Your fake necklace broke just by squeezing it. How dare you say it’s real?”
The whole room fell silent.
To crush diamonds with one hand was so brutal!
Real diamonds couldn’t even be crushed with a hydraulic press, but this guy managed to crush them with his bare hands. How terrifying was his strength?
Sophia widened her beautiful eyes and was amazed at how Leo did it.
All of the diamonds were crushed except for one ruby which Leo threw back at Colby William: “Here’s your ruby back; keep it as a memento.”
Colby William numbly took the ruby and looked stunned.
Specifically speaking, he was intimidated by Leo’s power.
This Queen’s Heart necklace cost Colby William ten million pounds when he bought it from England; It absolutely had been genuine!
Colby Williams’ heart bled inside him!
“How could those diamond pieces have been so easily crushed? Could they really be fake?”
“It can’t be possible; someone like Colby who has so much money wouldn’t buy counterfeit goods to give away.”
“How do we explain what happened then?”
Looking at Colby Williams’ stunned expression, Leo laughed: “Colby, buying counterfeit goods to pursue my wife is quite interesting.”
Colbys self-esteem was shattered from this mockery and he gritted his teeth saying,”You, you owe me an apology!”
“No problem,” replied Leo calmly,”leave me your address and I’ll buy 1000 fake necklaces like this one for you- postage paid straight home.”
This kind of sarcasm made Colbys blood boil over- He could no longer suppress his anger any longer -and punched towards Leos face door in fury.
Leo easily caught hold of his wrist then used force against him.
There was a snap, the sound of dislocating bones at Colby William’s wrist, followed by his howl.
Leo let go of his hand, and Colby William screamed in pain as he hugged his right hand tightly.
“Wifey, let’s go.” Leo took Sophia’s hand.
The crowd quickly made way for them to pass through.
Crushing diamonds and breaking Colby’s bones, the shock they received was truly overwhelming.
On the way back, Sophia sitting in the passenger seat couldn’t help but glance at Leo’s profile. She felt that Leo was becoming more and more of a man.
The Leo of the past had little presence in her heart, but today, when she was being courted by Colby William, the first person that came to mind for her was Leo.
So she sent Leo a WhatsApp message.
“Leo, thank you!” Sophia said sincerely.
Leo smiled and said, “As your man, it’s only natural for me to protect you.”
Suddenly, a warm current surged in Sophia’s heart. She thought about how Leo had taken care of her in every aspect of life for the past four years. This warmth spread to every cell in her body.
“Wifey”
“You can still call me Sophia, I’m not used to that yet.”
“Okay, Sophia, how come you’re with Colby William again? Is it because you need to borrow money?” Leo voiced his doubts.
Sophia shook her head and said, “No, the cosmetics production factory that I have been working with for five years has gone bankrupt. I urgently need to find a new source of goods. Colby William somehow learned about my company’s situation and invited me here for dinner, saying that he would introduce me to the director of the largest cosmetics production factory in the neighbouring city. Little did I know that his words were just a cover-up. After arriving at the Autumn Leaf Restaurant, I didn’t see any factory manager at all. So I sent you a message on Whatsapp, and then came the scene of his vulgar confession.”
“So that’s how it is,” Leo nodded. “Have you eaten yet? How about I take you to grab a bite first?”
“No need, I’m not hungry. Let’s just go straight home.”
“By the way, I saw a big news today that a local daily chemical product manufacturing plant in Langstel was acquired by Azure Financial and renamed as Herbal Magic Cosmetics Company. They are currently looking for exclusive agents. Would you like to give it a try?”
