The old servant was out of breath after he explained the story, so Bobby immediately handed him tea. He then drank a few mouthfuls of tea and continued, “Leonard suddenly caught the attention of the Floyd family one day because his features held a resemblance to the family. He was living in an orphanage when he was found by Fandrey, who was doing charity work at that time. He was taken back to the Floyd family after that.”
“Fandrey then found out Leonard’s identity and pitied his background. He felt that he could Leonard should be considered a member of the Floyd family. Since there were very few members in the Floyd family, Fandrey felt sorry for him and prepared to raise him well. Leonard was then sent to a private elite school, where he proved to be extremely smart. He always received scholarships and was ranked among the top students. Later on, he was admitted to the best university. Fandrey wanted Leonard to work in the Floyd family’s company after finishing his studies to continue training him. However, Leonard crossed the line after that. His ulterior motive of returning to the Floyd family was to scheme against them.”
“How did he plot against the Floyd family?”
“You must have heard of the Floyd family’s company almost being usurped ten years ago, right?” asked the old servant.
Bobby nodded since he had indeed heard of this matter. “I’ve heard about it. Was Leonard behind it? Why did he do that?” “It was Leonard’s fault indeed and he was smart enough to deal with the Floyd family. I don’t know who made him hate the Floyd family so much, but he had always felt that way from the start. He felt that the Floyd family had killed his family, and that we were all vicious and shameless. Even his appearance in front of Fandrey was all part of his plan to seize the Floyd family’s company and make them go bankrupt. He was only a young child at that time, but he managed to set up his scheme for so many years without being discovered. It can be seen how clever Leonard was,” the old servant sighed.
“Leonard is really quite capable. What did he do after that?” Bobby asked.
“He began to collude with outsiders to take over the Floyd family’s company after he arrived. He took up only three main companies under the Floyd family. In order to destroy them, he worked together with people from the underworld and tried to frame Fandrey. Perhaps even the heavens felt that he had gone too far back then. Fandrey felt that he was acting suspicious by chance, so he kept an eye on him and finally found out about Leonard’s intentions.”
“What happened after that? What did the Floyd family do to him?”
“Fandrey couldn’t believe it after he found out the truth about Leonard and he was completely heartbroken. Leonard had done an unforgivable mistake, so Fandrey had to call the police for the sake of his son. When the police went to chase Leonard, he committed suicide by jumping into the sea. The police tried to find his body for a long time, but they didn’t manage to find anything. They guessed that he must have been eaten by sharks and closed the case.”
“A person’s corpse is proof that they’re dead… Otherwise, there might be a huge probability that they’re alive. It can be seen that Leonard is really lucky to have escaped this disaster.”
The old servant looked at Bobby. “Is he still alive?”
“Yes, he’s alive and well!”
“How could he possibly live through that!”
“Sir, Leonard is really still alive. I saw him just now, and he didn’t change his name at all. He’s still going by ‘Leonard’!” “This… how could this be? Leonard is very dangerous, and he will definitely think of revenge since he is still alive. You must inform Fandrey and Calllum to be on guard against him!”
“I will! Don’t worry, Leonard won’t be able to do anything substantial with William around!”
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Abbie was sleeping when Leonard brought the lilies into the ward. Leonard did not wake Abbie up. Instead, he gently put the lilies in the vase and looked at her as he sat quietly on the sofa.
Abbie’s skin was extremely fair, and she looked very beautiful and gentle when she slept.
Leonard looked at Abbie quietly and no one knew what he was thinking. He sat there for an hour before she woke up.
Abbie was obviously shocked when she opened her eyes and met Leonard’s gaze, so she immediately sat up. “When did you come here? Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“Because I saw you sleeping soundly.” Leonard stood up with a smile and walked to her bedside. “I came here today to tell you some good news that your brother will be fine soon.”
Abbie slept late last night because she had been paying attention to the affairs of her family. Just then, she was very happy after hearing Leonard’s words, “Really?”
“It’s true. A video that exposed Azalea’s act has been uploaded on the Internet, and she can’t possibly turn the tide on this. Besides that, another surprising rumour has been circulating around that that Azalea is Francis’ lover.”
“Who is Francis?” Abbie asked in confusion.
“Francis is from the Gurney Group. He is a very rich and dignified person, so I’m guessing that he can support Azalea to deal with the Clark family like Michael.”
“Ah… will anything bad happen to my family since he owns such a big business?” Abbie took out her mobile phone to read the news worriedly.
Leonard comforted her with a smile. “Nothing will happen. I’m guessing that your brother’s friend, William, has intervened in the matter. You can rest assured that nothing will happen to your brother with him around.”
“I will never be at peace as long as this matter is dealt with…” Abbie muttered.
“You don’t have to doubt me, and I’ll inform you immediately if there are any problems,” Leonard said as he raised his wrist to look at his watch.
“It’s getting late and you must be hungry now, right?”
“Yea… a little.”
“That’s good. I’ll treat you to lunch outside the hospital. You’ve been locked up in here for so long, so it’s time for you to go out and get some fresh air.”
Abbie hesitated for a moment before she looked at Leonard’s gentle gaze and nodded. “Alright!”
“Then let’s go now.”
Abbie simply washed up and changed her clothes. Then, she followed Leonard out of the hospital after putting on a hat and sunglasses.
As the car sped along the road, Abbie lifted the veil of her hat to look excitedly at the streets outside.
Leonard sat next to Abbie and looked at her with a smile. “Do you feel refreshed after surviving a disaster?”
“How did you know?”
“Because… I’ve experienced it as well.”
“Really?” Abbie turned to look at Leonard. “Were you in a coma for a long time as well?”
“More or less!”
“What happened to you… Were you harmed by someone as well?” Abbie asked.
“That’s right! Well, let’s not talk about such unhappy things anymore. Do you like Asian cuisine? I’ll take you to a delicious Asian restaurant today. You don’t have to go back to the hospital after lunch, let’s go to another place instead.”
“Why do we have to change places?” Abbie asked.
“The doctor said that you don’t need to stay in the hospital anymore, so it’s better for you to rest at home. I happen to have a manor, which will be a great place for you to recuperate. I’ll take you there to have a look after lunch and I think you’ll definitely fall in love with the place.”
