Dennis did not say anything, but looked down at the ground, then took off his jacket, walked to Susan, reached out and draped it over her.
“Today is the Whaley Group’s big day, don’t let the media take pictures that they shouldn’t, go change your clothes first.”
After he finished, with an obscure glance at me, he turned and walked through the crowd, taking the lead in leaving this place of right and wrong. Susan glanced sideways at the jacket on her shoulder and seemed to think for a moment before walking again towards the nearest side door.
The two main characters have left the stage, naturally there is no drama to watch, guests are dispersed.
I looked around, made a state of finishing grooming, eyes intentionally or unintentionally look at Leonard and his group in the distance, see them talking and laughing, apparently have dropped their guard, which is a sigh of relief.
Finally, another hurdle has been overcome, but hopefully after today, Dennis’ plan will go more smoothly.
But this Hongmen Banquet, but can no longer stay, the play is ultimately a play, acting too long, it will reveal the horse’s foot.
After thinking about it, I said to Deborah and Leon, “Go back.”
“Leo’s gone off somewhere, I’ll go look for him.”
Deborah also did not give me the opportunity to speak, finished and walked into the crowd with the skirt, I had no choice but to follow.
The lobby was full of guests, but it was clear what was there, so Deborah led us towards the back garden to find it.
After walking through the gable, he turned the corner and saw Leo’s familiar figure in the lighted room across the hall, standing sideways by the bed, hands in his pockets, looking serious, as if he was talking about something big.
Deborah was just about to call for someone when I hastily reached out and pulled her back, signaling her not to act rashly.
Sure enough, in the next second, Dennis appeared next to Leo, from a distance, it seems that the atmosphere between these two is not good, each reserved and high, and even some saber-rattling, distant.
So it seems that there should be a third person in the room, and if we go there now, we will only cause them trouble.
As I was watching, Leon appeared from nowhere, walked up to us and made a hush gesture, and immediately pulled us into a nearby corner.
Just hide, far away Duncan will lead Leonard and his party out of the banquet hall, along the corridor all the way to Leo’s room, a party of seven or eight people, I do not recognize all, but from the attitude of the temperament to see the rich that is noble, is not an idle person.
They did not take long to enter, there was a clanging sound of falling things inside, then the door of the room was kicked open, Leo huffed and puffed and rushed out from inside and left directly through the back door of the garden.
After waiting a while longer, a harsh scream came from that room, and then two bodyguards came out with the man who had passed out and walked deeper into the garden.
And it didn’t take long for the room to ring with harmonious laughter, and every now and then two raw faces walked by the window, both just following Leonard’s side, one cupping a glass of wine and laughing, as if nothing had happened.
…
When we arrived home, Leo happened to come out of Link’s study and ran into each other head-on.
When Deborah saw her, she gave a huffy “hmmm” and turned around and stormed into the bedroom slamming the door behind her.
“Looks like you’re going to have to sleep in the guest room tonight.” I teased.
“It doesn’t matter, nothing will happen if we sleep together anyway.” Leo shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed look.
“What did you and Dennis just do in the back garden?” I digressed straight away.
“Nothing, just cooperate to do a scene, you are the mother of Dennis’s child, and my Uncle Link’s only daughter, the Whaley family people want to under your thunder, just resignation can not be enough.”
It looks like the unconscious was taken away, should be the man who threw wine at me.
Leo and Dennis’ intention is simple and brutal, to show the Whaley family and the people behind the Whaley family that even after divorcing Dennis, I, Clara, am still not to be humiliated.
In fact, originally I have already regained a city, but Susan’s men are too reckless, only to provoke Dennis to fight, so that they are in big trouble, I am useless.
Although Leo said easy, I can not forget the scene in the corridor, he alone, including Dennis, confronted with a dozen people, how dangerous the situation, even if the final results desired, is ultimately licking the blood on the knife for the.
In this world, there is no one who is destined to gamble his life for another person.
“I know you guys are for my own good, but in the future, it’s time to let go and let me handle it myself, whether it’s you or Dennis, you should have your own lives, you can’t watch me for the rest of your lives, think about your own business too.”
Leo’s immodest face was unrestrained, “Who says it can’t be a lifetime? Half a lifetime has passed, what’s the difference between those decades?”
I was helpless, “You know that’s not what I’m talking about, what exactly are you going to do about Deborah, I don’t know if you’re using it in this way, are you testing to see if she’ll leave or if you have another agenda, isn’t it time to stop at the end?”
Speaking of this, Leo’s face a little smile frozen, frowned and lowered his face, did not answer.
“Brother,” seeing him like this, I suddenly some sad, “Deborah is not Karina, she never thought of leaving, why you dare not admit that you love her, remember when you came to me about Karina, that kind of heartbreaking pain you have forgotten? Karina is good, but she didn’t want to give you a lifetime, Deborah has a small problem, but she is alive and in love with you, someone who is determined to be your wife for life, do you think you are really fair to her?”
Leo was still silent, his dark eyes narrowed, his long eyelashes blinking once or twice, not knowing if he was considering my suggestion.
He raised his head with an obscure smile in his eyes, and his long white hand patted soothingly on my arm, “I know what’s in my heart, don’t worry, I know what I want, it’s late, I’ll call the nurse to give you a shot so you can rest early.”
After that, without waiting for me to react, he went directly around me and went downstairs.
Watching his figure disappear at the end of the corridor, I had an indescribable feeling of difficulty.
Leo has too many scruples, and the source of it all, more or less, has to do with me.
After the nurse left, I dialed Brady’s number.
“Yo, Clara, I was looking for a chance to thank you for the communication base station, but you came up here yourself, you are also the master of nothing, tell me, what is it, I should not do anything.” Brady showed extra enthusiasm, it seems to have benefited from the cooperation with the Gibson Group.
I also do not delay, directly indicate the purpose, “You know a lot of people, find someone for me …”
The following day.
When I returned to the office, I asked Leon to recruit a personal assistant for me.
I interviewed a female PhD candidate who had returned from overseas, and she was hired immediately.
