Chapter 988
"It was because you didn't listen to Leon's advice that led us to fall victim to Jonah and Harold's trick! Now that Leon
is in danger as a result of protecting us, how can you stand by and watch?" Iris demanded with a hint of blame in
her tone.
"I-" Gilbert was rendered speechless by this. "Iris, I admit that I shouldn't have trusted Jonah, but Leon was the one
who insisted on coming; I didn't ask him to go at all, so why are you blaming me for this? Besides, it has been a long
time now, and it will be too late even if we go to the Youngs now! in my opinion, we should just let him be!" Gilbert
replied nonchalantly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Leon regained his shares of Elegante Group and his refusal to continue his alchemy work, Gilbert had since
then been mad at him, and the truth was, he always favored Anson as his future son-in-law and thus did not care
much for Leon at all.
"Alright, I'll go by myself then!" Iris was so outraged that her entire body began to shake. However, she was
concerned about Leon's safety and was not in the mood to argue with her father. Instead, she turned and stomped
away.
"Don't go, Iris!" Louisa grabbed hold of her arm.
"What are you doing, Louisa? Do you also agree we should let Leon die?" Iris turned to shoot her a murderous
glare. She knew that Louisa was always close to Leon, and every time something happened, Louisa would take
Leon's side and frequently talk about his good traits.
Therefore, she could not believe that Louisa was trying to stop her from saving Leon!
"No, that's not what I want to do. I wanted to tell you that Leon is back!" Louisa replied, unsure of whether she
should be frustrated or not.
"You-" Iris was just about to continue scolding Louisa when the words finally registered in her brain, and she
widened her eyes in shock, staring at Louisa in disbelief. "What did you say, Louisa? Did you say Leon is back?"
"Yes! Look for yourself-isn't that him?" Louisa pointed in front of them.
Because Leon was still some distance away from the villa, and with the darkness enveloping them, neither Iris nor
Gilbert noticed Leon coming toward them.
However, Louisa had exceptional eyesight and could make out Leon's silhouette running toward them in the
darkness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Is this real?" Iris followed Louisa's gaze and soon caught sight of a silhouette making his way toward them as fast
as he could run.
On second glance, she realized louisa was right. It was none other than Leon!
"It is Leon! This is amazing! He's safe and sound!" Iris was overjoyed by this and sprinted toward Leon with Louisa
following suit.
"He's fine? How lucky did he get this time?" Gilbert was shocked and finally had no choice but to follow them rather
reluctantly.
Leon was very fast, and the three of them just took a few steps forward when he finally reached them.
"Leon, thank God you're okay! I was worried sick!" Iris was just about to leap into his arms when she caught sight of
Leon carrying someone on his back, which stunned her.
