Melissa was stunned, covering her face and looking at Leonardo in disbelief.
Everyone in the Stevens family was also stunned. They didn’t expect that even a big man like Leonardo respected Casey so much.
Did they hear it wrong?
Amara was also shocked. She didn’t expect Leonardo, a big man in Yutian County, to be so respectful to Casey.
She turned to look at Casey, full of doubts, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Casey smiled and said, “He is my friend. Just wait for a fascinating spectacle.”
Melissa stared at Leonardo and asked cautiously, “Master Leonardo, do you have any misunderstandings? That person is a wimp, and he is not from Yutian County. He has a very bad reputation at where he lives. Are you mistaking him for someone else?”
Leonardo slapped Melissa again, and cursed, “What’s the fuck! Can’t I recognize Mr. Casey? If you dare to say that he is a wimp, I will let the entire Stevens family never survive in Yutian County!”
The expression on Caelan’s face changed abruptly, and he quickly scolded, “Melissa, apologize to Master Leonardo quickly. Do you want to hurt our entire Stevens family?”
Melissa was full of anger. After being slapped twice, even if she was afraid of Leonardo, she couldn’t bear it.
Melissa gave Leonardo a vicious look, and said, “Master Leonardo, you are too overbearing to do this. Is it worth it for such a wimp?”
Leonardo saw that Melissa sass him back. He kicked her and cursed, “Didn’t you understand what I was saying? Tell you, in Yutian County, I’m overbearing. Those who don’t agree with me has died long ago. Do you want to be like them?”
Melissa was kicked and fell to the ground. After hearing Leonardo’s words, her heart did a complete somersault. Only then did she realize who she was talking to, and the cold sweat came out of her back.
Flora saw Melissa being kicked to the ground, and ran over to help her up.
She looked at Leonardo with grudge, wondering why even he would defend Casey, a wimp.
“Why are you hitting my mother? Yes, you are powerful in Yutian County. Can you hit people casually because of it? What’s more, Casey is a wimp, you should hit him if you want to fight!” Flora shouted.
The expression on Melissa’s face suddenly changed. She was already very regretful when she said the wrong thing. She didn’t expect Flora to say something like this now. If Leonardo really got angry, her family would be ruined.
Sidney hurried over, slapped Flora, and cursed, “What are you talking about? Can you blame Master Leonardo at will? Are you risking your neck?”
Flora covered her own face and looked at Sidney in disbelief.
“Dad, you hit me! You never hit me before!” Flora shouted.
At the moment she could no longer care about Master Leonardo. She only knew that she had been wronged. It was supposed to be Edith’s family that was expelled from the Stevens family today and she should be happy. But now she and her mother were beaten. With her character, she couldn’t bear it naturally.
However, she did not consider whether she was qualified to challenge Leonardo. She was blind with rage.
“I hit you for your own good. Now apologize to Master Leonardo, otherwise even I won’t be able to save you!” Sidney roared.
“Why should I apologize to him? If I don’t apologize, can he kill me?” Flora said.
Everyone was shocked, Flora was really dicing with death.
They thought, “If you didn’t apologize, Leonardo might actually kill you.”
Caelan looked at Flora with a gloomy expression. He usually liked this granddaughter the most. He didn’t expect his granddaughter to be so capricious at a critical moment, which really got the whole family in trouble.
“Flora, apologize to Master Leonardo quickly, otherwise you don’t blame me for being cruel to you!” Caelan shouted.
Flora looked at Caelan. She didn’t expect that the grandfather who loved her the most would also make her apologize, and a rebellious mentality suddenly arose in her heart.
“I won’t apologize. Why should I apologize? Grandpa, the Stevens family is a big family, why should we be afraid of him? No matter how powerful he is, can he destroy the Stevens family?” Flora shouted.
Caelan was so angry that he couldn’t speak, and Flora’s words were simply driving the Stevens family to a dead end.
Leonardo glanced at Flora with a sneer, and said, “I thought the Stevens family is a family with some inheritance, and your upbringing shouldn’t be bad. Today, I know that people in the Stevens family are all very arrogant. Dare you to provoke me so much. It seems that if I don’t get really serious, you really think that I don’t dare to do anything to you?”
Melissa and Sidney both looked anxious and hurriedly begged for mercy, “Master Leonardo, my daughter didn’t mean it. She just broke up in love and has not yet come out of her sadness. Master Leonardo, please forgive her.”
“What does it matter to me that she is lovelorn? I only care about my position in Yutian County. Since she dares to provoke me, then I can’t ignore her. Let me think about when the person who talked to me like this last time. Come to think of it, it was the Wong family last time, and his son didn’t pay attention to me just like you. It’s a pity, you can never find the Wong family now in Yutian County,” Leonardo said coldly.
When Flora heard Leonardo’s words, she trembled. She used to be good friends with the young master of the Wong family. They often played together. Later, she didn’t know what happened. the Wong family disappeared overnight. She had never seen the young master of the Wong family again.
Now that Leonardo said this, she realized that the Wong family was probably destroyed by Leonardo.
Flora came back to her senses all at once. Just now because of the huge grievance and unwillingness in her heart, she had fallen into a state of madness, so she had never considered whether she was qualified to go against Master Leonardo.
It wasn’t until this time that she remembered that Leonardo was the underground emperor of Yutian County, not to mention the Stevens family, in Yutian County, there was no one who could fight Leonardo.
Thinking of what she said to Leonardo at that moment, Flora’s body couldn’t stop shaking. If Leonardo really targeted the Stevens family because of her, then she would be the biggest sinner of the Stevens family.
“Master Leonardo, I know I was wrong. I was insane just now. Please forgive me. I really didn’t mean it.” Flora said quickly.
“I think it’s too late to say this at this time.” Leonardo sneered.
Upon seeing this, Caelan hurriedly walked to Leonardo, then plopped and knelt directly in front of Leonardo.
“Master Leonardo. Please bypass Flora. It is not easy for us to develop the Stevens family. I hope you can let her go. Even if you want me to kowtow to you, I will do it!” Caelan said.
Leonardo sneered and said, “It’s useless for you to kowtow to me. They didn’t mess with me, but Mr. Casey. If you want to avoid disaster, go and kowtow to Mr. Casey and his family.”
Caelan turned his head and glanced at Casey and the others, a touch of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but now it was the crucial moment at stake for the Stevens family, even if he was reluctant, he must do so.
He turned his head and glanced at the Melissa, and said coldly, “What are you three doing in a daze. Hurry up and kneel down and apologize to Casey!”
Melissa and Flora were full of reluctance. Asking them to kneel down and apologize to Casey was equivalent to killing them.
However, it was a special moment. Leonardo had said so, if they didn’t apologize, the Stevens family was really over.
Sidney glanced at Melissa and Flora, and regretted marrying such a woman, otherwise it wouldn’t happen today.
“Let’s go, it won’t fine if we don’t apologize today,” Sidney said.
They walked up to the Casey and his family and knelt down.
When Amara saw Melissa’s family kneeling for them, her face was full of triumph, thinking that it was so happy to see Melissa be in trouble. When they drove her out of the Stevens family at that time, they were very arrogant.
Melissa gritted her teeth, how could she accept to apologize to Amara on her knees, but now she couldn’t control it at all.
Flora was also full of resentment. She thought that today’s trouble was all because Edith and Casey, which had nothing to do with her.
She felt that she was a victim, but she had to kneel down and apologize to Edith, which was really unfair.
“We apologize to you and hope you can forgive us. We are all a family, so don’t make it so embarrassing,” Sidney said.
“Sorry, we don’t accept your apology.” Casey looked at them coldly.
In Casey’s view, what Melissa’s family had done couldn’t be solved by kneeling down and apologizing. They must be punished.
“Casey, don’t go too far. Don’t think that Master Leonardo is protecting you, you can be arrogant. You are still just a wimp, without Master Leonardo, you are nothing!” Flora said immediately.
Casey smiled and ignored her.
Leonardo glanced at Casey and asked, “Mr. Casey, what do you plan to do with them? It’s up to you.”
“Casey, we didn’t do the right thing before. Please let the Stevens family go.” Caelan begged.
Casey glanced at him and said, “I can let the Stevens family go, but you have to promise me one condition.”
Caelan immediately asked, “What condition?”
“Before we gave you gift, you drove us out of the Stevens family. Now that Flora’s family has done such an unreasonable thing, should you be more righteous and drove them out of the Stevens family? If you can’t do it, I don’t have to let the Stevens family go,” Casey said.
Melissa, Sidney and Flora immediately became anxious. Melissa glared at Casey and shouted, “Casey, don’t be self-righteous. How could Caelan kick us out of the Stevens family? Stop it. Do you really think you can control the fate of the Stevens family?”
Caelan was full of entanglement. In his opinion, Casey really can’t control the fate of the Stevens family, but Leonardo could. Now Leonardo defended Casey. If he didn’t meet Casey’s request, Leonardo would be directed against the Stevens family.
After weighing up the pros and cons, Caelan sighed and said, “Okay, I promise you.”
