“Mr. Bob, my daughter has offended someone and I apologize on her behalf. Please forgive her,” Kelford said cautiously.
“Didn’t you see the person your daughter offended sitting right next to me? Are you blind?” Bob replied.
It was only then that Kelford noticed the young man sitting next to Bob. He had met him once before at August’s birthday party.
Recently, there had been a lot of rumors about Leo in Langstel’s high society, but they all came to the same conclusion – he was no longer a useless son-in-law of the Henley family thanks to the support of the Browne family.
“Mr. Bloomer, may I ask what my daughter did to offend you?” Kelford looked at Leo and asked, his expression lacking respect for Bob.
“Not only did she damage my car, but she also had someone beat me up. Your daughter is quite extraordinary, indeed,” Leo said casually.
As Mila’s father, Kelford was well aware of her personality and temper. In Kelford’s mind, although he had spoiled Mila, she still had some sense and knew who to provoke and who not to. So over the years, she hadn’t caused any major trouble, and Kelford had turned a blind eye to her actions.
Now, Mila had offended Leo, which, in another sense, meant offending Bob as well, which was quite troublesome.
Additionally, there was one thing Kelford couldn’t understand. During August’s birthday banquet, he had taken Mila along, and she had seen how August treated Leo with special consideration. So why did she provoke Leo?
“Mila, what grievances do you have with Mr. Bloomer? Why did you do these things? Don’t you know that August values Mr. Bloomer?” Kelford asked through gritted teeth.
Of course, Mila knew that August treated Leo differently, but the incident last time made her deeply resent Leo. Moreover, she despised men who lived off others from the bottom of her heart, so she would rather take risks and teach Leo a lesson.
She also believed that Kieran, her lackey, could take the blame for her. Even if the Browne family investigated later, she could shift all the responsibility onto Kieran.
What surprised Mila was that Kieran actually turned against her on the spot because he feared Bob.
Mila naively believed that a lackey would never betray her.
At that moment, Kieran suddenly punched Kelford in the eye and cursed, “You old bastard, your daughter almost got me killed!”
Kelford, an old man, couldn’t withstand Kieran’s blow. He held his left eye in pain, screaming, and fell to the ground.
After hitting Kelford, Kieran grabbed Mila by her hair and forced her to kneel in front of Leo. “You wretched girl, apologize to Leo and kowtow!” he commanded.
Kieran had gone insane because of Mila. By offending Leo, he had also offended the Browne family and Bob.
Regardless of which side got angry, they could easily wipe out his family.
“Leo, I’m an idiot, a scoundrel, a waste. Please spare me. I will serve you in the future. Please give me a chance,” Kieran pleaded pitifully, banging Mila’s head with his hands.
In his entire life, Kieran had never felt so desperate.
Leo stood up, looked down at Kieran, who was groveling on the ground, and sneered, “You have three days. Use any means necessary to bankrupt the Dorothy family. If you can’t do it, then your family has no reason to exist in Langstel.”
“Yes, Leo, I will definitely do it. I promise,” Kieran hurriedly replied.
For Kelford, their conversation was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
Generations of effort from the Dorothy family were ruined in that moment because of Mila!
Leo didn’t say anything more and left the private room.
Outside the Imperial Grandeur Club, Bob said, “Do you need my help? With Kieran and his family’s abilities, it won’t be easy to deal with the Dorothy family.”
Leo smiled faintly, “No need. If a dog can’t even bite, what value does it have to exist?”
…
The next morning, as Leo opened the clinic, he saw four or five cars pulling up at the entrance. The car doors opened, and five or six burly men stepped out. Soon after, a beautiful woman appeared, dressed in a white skirt and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, exuding an intellectual aura. This stunning woman was Clare’s assistant, Aryanna.
Aryanna glanced at the sign of the Clinic, her gaze filled with disdain. “So this is the place,” she said.
She discreetly covered her nose and mouth, showing resistance to the scent of medicine, and harbored some dissatisfaction towards Renee. If Renee hadn’t refused Clare’s request, why would Clare send her to invite Leo?
With these thoughts swirling in her mind, she led her group into the Clinic. Sakura and the others assumed they were there for a medical consultation, so they didn’t stop them and gave Aryanna the number 38.
“What is this?” Aryanna glanced at the number and crumpled it up, throwing it on the ground. She walked to the entrance of the consultation room, locked eyes with Leo, and arrogantly said, “Leo, Miss Melendrez has decided to give you an opportunity to flatter Mr. Melendrez. Hurry up and come with us to see him.”
Aryanna’s expression was contemptuous, as if going to see a doctor was the good fortune Leo had accumulated in his past life. Henry, who was drinking water, almost sprayed salt soda from his mouth and stared at Aryanna as if she were a fool.
“Sorry, I’m seeing a patient,” Leo turned his head and glanced at Aryanna. “I’m not in a good mood today, so I won’t be seeing any new patients.”
“Leo, you’re just an unknown little doctor, who are you giving face to? Do you know what kind of opportunity is in front of you?”
“Mr. Melendrez is a tycoon in the city, influential throughout Atraria. It’s a great honor for you to treat him.”
“As long as you can cure Mr. Melendrez, not only will you gain the reputation of a divine doctor, but you’ll also receive a lifetime of consultation fees that you could never spend!”
“This is such a precious opportunity. Don’t be foolish and not know how to cherish it, let alone underestimate it!”
Aryanna rattled on and on.
“Thank you, but I don’t consider it an honor, and I don’t want to earn that money,” Leo’s tone was indifferent. “My clinic doesn’t welcome you. Please leave.”
If it weren’t for the number of patients in the clinic at that moment, Leo would have long asked Chasel to kick this arrogant woman out of the clinic.
Aryanna became furious. “Leo, if you don’t come with me to treat Mr. Melendrez today, believe me, I will shut down your clinic!”
Aryanna had never seen someone as ungrateful as Leo. For a doctor, treating Baltasar was an enormous opportunity and a great honor!
