“Stephen?” Leo stared, his eyes falling out, his hand pounding on the wooden tabletop, the bruises on the back of his hand.
Skyler subconsciously moved back and then nodded, “Dad you know him.”
Leo’s frown deepened: “Don’t you know he’s an unapologetic dude? You haven’t heard of all the shit he’s done at all?”
“It was because of those untrue statements back then that led to that marriage refusal incident and the destruction of the long-lasting partnership between our two families!” Skyler said, his emotions following suit.
The expression on Leo’s face was indefinable: “You’re still helping him? You refused the marriage yourself, who was the one who cried out to refuse the marriage back then? For your sake, I’ve already completely rejected my willingness to cooperate with Gale Technologies, do you think Dad is still not protective enough for you?”
Skyler only had to reassure, “That’s not what I meant, I’m just saying that after those people told me what kind of person Stephen was back then, I misunderstood and I have the right to get to know him now.”
Leo stood up, a tall and majestic aura enveloped around him, “No, you have no right to know him, because there is no longer a marriage contract between you, and you are a different person from him!”
Skyler was silent, knowing that Leo was a very principled man, and that it would be absolutely impossible to persuade her own father with the same rhetoric she had used in front of Dolly, who would only accuse himself of being shameless and uncultured.
Leo leaned over to her and spoke without mercy: “It’s true that you are sorry Leon, it’s true that it’s difficult to explain to others, since you dare to do it, then these things, you are not afraid of others to talk about it, right?”
“Yes …” Skyler said tremulously, she knew what kind of storm she would face Leo when she came here today, she was fully prepared for it, but when the words came out of her father’s mouth without a guess, they were The weight of the words was still too much for her to bear.
“As for the divorce, have you talked to Leon about it?” The tone of this sentence had obviously softened considerably, and Skyler breathed a sigh of relief.
“Not yet, but the time should be soon, I will find a suitable time to tell him as soon as possible.”
Leo lit a cigarette, exhaling a sigh: “Indeed, the suffering of the child, really want to leave, the property issue, you will let him more.”
Skyler did not speak, Leo thought she acquiesced to his own statement, said: “However, if he knew, one hundred percent, will not agree to divorce you, as for Stephen even more can not get away.”
She didn’t deny it. After all, she and Leon had been together for almost two years, and she really knew him too well, but she couldn’t figure him out either.
However, she had no doubt that Leon would not let Stephen go. One more thing, that is, how should she tell Leon about this, or she can not mention Stephen, but how do she say to bring the topic to the word divorce in a logical way?
Stephen’s office, “knock knock knock -”
“Enter.”
Stephen was looking at the latest economic analysis from the Kirkland Group that Jayden had brought over, so the moment there was a knock on the door, he called out for the person outside to come in.
If he had looked up, he probably wouldn’t have shouted so decisively to come in.
Leyla is still in a sultry dress today, perhaps Dolly sees that usually she is still very plain, but in front of him, she is always in a posture.
“Get out.” Stephen said with unmistakable decisiveness once he saw who was coming.
Leyla had a smile on her face, “What kind of person just calls someone in and immediately goes out?”
Stephen did not pay attention to her, he continued to look down at the report in his hands, while Leyla walked around his office, and occasionally touched the furnishings placed aside.
“I heard that woman say that your name is Stephen, I work for you, but I don’t even know your name, heh.” Leyla laughed lightly, disdain and contempt in her tone.
Stephen’s eyes remained on the report paper, he replied nonchalantly, “You do your business, I give you my money, the two would have been equivalent, why should I tell you my name, superfluous …”
Leyla sighed: “You guys in business, of course I can’t say anything about you, but as a woman, I can come to judge another woman.”
Stephen snapped the folder in his hand shut, “If you’re here to talk to me about Shangguan, get the hell out. If you’re here for nothing, get the hell out of here too.”
“What, you dare not do it, you are weak in heart?” Leyla got an inch and said, “With a married woman, our Mr. Duncan, but it is very justified.”
Stephen stood up, grabbed her wrist and yanked her so hard that Leyla’s thigh hit the corner of the table as she lost her weight.
“Believe it or not, if I make a phone call now, there will be many reporters coming over to interview you about all that crap back then, and that Evan, who is still in the office, will have to be surrounded by reporters from all over the TV station because of you.”
“You-” Leyla froze and restrained the anger in her heart: “We are partners, we shouldn’t talk about such nonsense, I always used to think that you know everything about me, but I know nothing about you, it’s not normal, but now, we’re even.”
Stephen shook off her wrist as if he was throwing away something dirty, throwing it slowly for fear of contaminating his hand.
“Remember for me, in the future, you are not allowed to come to my place again, and if you dare to do something to my life again, I will immediately, call a reporter to teach you how to behave.”
Anger raged in Leyla’s heart, “I don’t think it’s what I’ve done to your life, but what you’ve done to Brayden’s!”
Stephen was startled to see her gaze fixed on the cover of the folder on his desk, clearly written “Kirkland Group Economic Analysis Report”, Stephen reached out and snapped the folder on the desk upside down, the hard shell of the folder hitting the desk. The sound made by the hard shell of the folder with the desktop, so that the two people in the room are startled.
Stephen’s eyes held an uncommon ruthlessness. Since he was no longer the Stephen of old, he had told himself that he would never look at people in such a way again, but faced with such an ungrateful Leyla, he had to break his principles.
