Chapter 891
"Dad, but..," Brad was shocked.
Unlike the other elders in the Shears who focused only on the profits they could gain, he refused to
let Leon go for hurting Cynthia as her father.
"Enough! You can't force love. If Leon insists on leaving, let him be!” Benedict interrupted him
forcefully.
He knew that Cynthia Group was Leon's only resource and he put in countless time and effort into it;
the fact that he was willing to surrender Cynthion Group unconditionally meant that Leon was

If that was the case, there was no point for the Shears to force him into staying.
"But," Brad could not give up.
He knew that his father was being reasonable, but Leon crossed the line and he could not understand why Benedict
would not punish Leon.
"I said, enough! We've owed him a favor for when he cured your mother! This ends here and we will consider how
we repay him!" Benedict said calmly.
He was always a composed and sensible person. Leon saved his wife once and if he punished Leon for leaving, he
would not be different from Albert, who repaid Leon's kindness with cruelty.
Since Benedict was the leader of the Shears, the others soon backed away from the stage seeing how he made his

"Thank you, Elder Shear," Leon said gratefully.
"Don't thank me! Leon, our debt to you is paid. From now on, the Shears will have nothing to do with you. Take care!
Let's go!” Benedict said.
The Shears were humiliated that Leon called off the engagement in public as his action made a fool out of them.
Not wanting to stay any longer, Benedict led his family and stormed off.
Cynthia glanced at Leon sorrowfully before leaving, hoping that Leon would return to her someday, when she knew
that he could never promise her anything.
Leon watched as the Shears left bitterly with resignation.
Next to him, Louisa was in tears. "Leon, you said you can revive Iris. Is that true?" She sobbed as she tried her best
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto suppress the pain she felt in her heart.
She placed all her hope onto Leon and stopped blaming him for what happened in the past.
"Don't worry, Louisa. I'll wake her up!" Leon said with determination.
"Okay."
"Leon, Iris is our priority now. Let's leave right now!" Ariel said hastily.
Leon nodded and carried Iris off the ground, before walking down the stairs with Ariel and Louisa.
"Leaving so soon? Dream on!"
Just then, they heard a sneer, followed by the appearance of Harold and his subordinates. 1
