The Charles family valued today’s celebration, seeing it as an opportunity to climb into the ranks of first-class families by relying on the Browne family. However, Levi had now offended Old Mr. Browne, turning a favorable situation upside down.
This angered Levi’s father beyond measure. The situation worsened when Andy Rossetti coldly stated, “Levi, from now on, you are no longer my apprentice, Andy Rossetti.”
These words shocked not only Levi but also his father. If news spread that Levi had been expelled by Andy Rossetti, what face would the Charles family have left in Langstel?
Old Mr. Browne impatiently waved his hand, saying, “Mr. Charles, take your son and leave. I don’t want to see anyone from your family again.”
Now, Levi felt like his spirit had been instantly drained, collapsing like a puddle of mud on the ground. He hadn’t expected that a small action would doom his and the Charles family’s future.
Mr. Charles had the Charles family members drag his son out. He didn’t want to spend another second in the room because every moment was a humiliation and torment.
After the Charles family left, Andy Rossetti sighed deeply and then looked at Leo, saying, “Leo, my friend, I apologize. Let’s start a new game.”
Leo shook his head, “Mr. Rossetti, you are not yourself today. For the sake of fairness, let’s find another opportunity to play.”
Andy Rossetti understood that Leo was giving him an out. In essence, he didn’t want Andy Rossetti to lose face by losing to a young man.
Andy Rossetti couldn’t help but say to Old Mr. Browne, “Old Mr. Browne, they say a person’s Go reflects their character. Today, I see it in young Leo. Your judgment is spot on.”
Old Mr. Browne smiled proudly, “Naturally, my judgment of people has always been accurate.”
Andy Rossetti stood up from his seat, bowed to Leo, “My young friend Leo, today I have learned. Let’s have another game when we have the chance.”
Leo returned the courtesy, “Mr. Rossetti, you’re too kind.”
After exchanging greetings with Old Mr. Browne, Andy Rossetti headed toward the suite’s door.
Halfway there, he noticed Lorraine Bell hadn’t followed. He turned with some dissatisfaction, “Lorraine, aren’t you leaving?”
Lorraine Bell snapped out of her contemplation and hurriedly caught up with her master.
Outside, Lorraine Bell couldn’t help but ask, “Master, if the game hadn’t been disrupted by Levi just now and had continued…”
“Continued, and I would have undoubtedly lost,” Andy Rossetti decisively stated.
In the suite, Old Mr. Browne regarded Leo with an increasingly strange gaze. Honestly, the more he looked at Leo, the more he liked him. If only Leo could become his grandson-in-law, what a wonderful thing that would be.
Unfortunately, such an outstanding young man had married into a second-rate family. Old Mr. Browne’s gaze made Leo feel uneasy.
“Old man, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Cough, I have a proposal, or you could say it’s a choice,” Old Mr. Browne cleared his throat and said.
“What proposal?”
“Divorce Sophia, leave the Bloomer family, and marry into my Browne family,” Old Mr. Browne directly stated his thoughts.
Leo was taken aback.
“Leo, although I don’t know why you married into the Bloomer family, I do know that your life there isn’t going well. If it’s so unpleasant, why endure it?”
Leo spoke frankly, “Mr. Browne, sorry, but I won’t divorce Sophia.”
“And why is that? There are plenty of beautiful women in the world, and my granddaughter is no less than Sophia,” Old Mr. Browne wore a puzzled expression.
“I didn’t mean that. I am…”
Before Leo could finish, Old Mr. Browne interrupted, “I understand. You dislike my granddaughter having a child, right? Rest assured, the child is adopted. My granddaughter is still…”
Leo was speechless once again.
“Leo, I think you should consider it carefully. If you marry Renee, then the Browne family and Azure Cloud Group will be yours,” Old Mr. Browne tempted.
Leo stood up from his seat, cutting off Old Mr. Browne’s thoughts, “Mr. Browne, sorry, let me reiterate, I can’t divorce Sophia. I appreciate your kind offer. Well, it’s getting late; I’ll go downstairs.”
Watching Leo’s departing figure, a smile appeared on Old Mr. Browne’s old face.
In fact, his proposal just now was half serious and half not. Firstly, he did harbor the idea of making Leo his grandson-in-law. Secondly, he mainly wanted to test how Leo would choose when faced with the temptation of interests.
The result didn’t disappoint Old Mr. Browne, making him more interested in Leo.
When Leo descended to the third-floor banquet hall, he found the celebration had already ended. He had assumed Sophia would wait for him, but to his disappointment, Sophia had already left with the old Mrs. Henley.
As Leo exited the banquet hall, Bruno suddenly appeared in front of him.
Evidently, Bruno had been lurking outside the banquet hall, keeping an eye on Leo.
“Leo, you’ve embarrassed me at Old Mr. Browne’s celebration. I won’t let you off today,” Bruno said through gritted teeth.
“I embarrassed you?” Leo smiled faintly, “This was your own wager. It seems to have nothing to do with me.”
“If it weren’t for Renee intervening, how could I have done such a thing in front of so many people? Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re getting close to the Browne family! You, this waste, once they’re done using you, they can kick you out at any time.”
As Bruno finished speaking, he unexpectedly threw a punch at Leo’s face.
Leo effortlessly kicked Bruno to the ground with a casual movement.
“Bruno, don’t you ever learn? You can’t beat me at all, can you?” Leo said with a cold smile.
Bruno sat on the ground, like an injured wild dog, roaring angrily, “Leo, one day I will crush you under my feet. I’ll make you die!”
Leo’s emotions remained unaffected. Threats from trash like Bruno were as insignificant as flatulence to him. So, Leo didn’t want to waste his words here and simply turned and walked away.
Watching Leo’s departing figure, Bruno was filled with so much hatred that he almost ground his back teeth to dust.
To him, Leo had always been a weakling, and Leo’s reputation in Langstel had been spread by him. How could a parasite and a freeloader have the qualifications to step on Bruno’s head?
“Leo, your arrogance won’t last long. Once I take the chairman’s position, I’ll make you and Sophia get out of the Bloomer family!” Bruno vowed through gritted teeth as he stood up.
