NovelAppThe Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 99
Jenson smiled, looked at the ton his watch, and said, “It's almost four, Mister
Wolf. Might as well stay here and avoid the trouble of having to go back. | was thinking about giving my
grandfather a call right now and we can head straight to the hotel for an early dinner? Would that be alright with
you?”
“Sure...” Leon nodded, but he hesitated slightly when he looked at Ariel beside him.
Jenson quickly understood what Leon meant and invited Ariel with a smile. “Miss Summers, since you're a friend
of Mister Wolf, would you care to join us if it’s convenient for you?”
“Thanks for the invitation.” Ariel knew that she was only invited over because of Leon. Her curiosity over his
relationship with the Wicks prompted her to agree to Jenson’s invitation after sthought.
Inside one of the luxurious and exquisite VIP rooms at The Sovereign Hotel, Bernard
and Jenson sat with Leon and Ariel at the table.

Under Bernard's directions, the waiters began to serve the wine and food, all of
which were the finest and rarest of delicacies.
“Thank you so much for savingthe other day. | offer you this toast as a show of my gratitude.” Bernard was
all smiles as he raised his wine glass to Leon.
“You're being too polite, Elder Wick. It wasn’t very difficult on my part, so please don’t take it too seriously,” Leon
said immediately. He picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Bernard, and then drank the whole glass in
one go.
Ariel looked at Bernard, then at Leon, and had a strange expression on her face.
She initially thought that Leon had ssort of ties with Jenson, perhaps as a distant relative of the Wicks, or
due to slong ancestral friendship between both
their families’ ancestors.
However, Leon addressed Jenson by his first name, but Bernard addressed Leon with a rather respectful, Mister
Wolf.
Ariel had no idea what was going on, and whatever relationship they had was a complete mess!
Ariel was stunned. She glanced at Leon from tto time, feeling that it was becoming more and more difficult
to grasp the concept of Leon as a person. There
were several times when she could not help her urge to ask Leon what went on.
After considering that it was not a very appropriate occasion to ask something like that, she finally decided not
to ask.
Leon did not overthink like Ariel did and simply conversed in his way with Bernard and Jenson without feeling
awkward.
Meanwhile, Bernard could only have no more than one or two drinks to show his - sincerity because he just
recovered, so he instructed Jenson to entertain Leon and Ariel properly on his behalf.
Since Ariel was a woman and she had to drive, she toasted them with tea rather than

wine.
Leon did not have such concerns, so he drank away with Jenson. The two of them seemed to have grown closer,
almost as if they were friends with whom they could let loose over several drinks.
After having several sounds of wine and finishing almost all the food, the banquet was almost nearing its end.
Bernard took the initiative and asked, “Mister Wolf, regarding the cooperation between the Elegante Group and
our Wick Group, may | ask if you already have a contract ready?”
“It’s right here.” Leon took out the two contracts that Lily printed and handed them over to Bernard.
Bernard knew to separate personal matters from professional business matters, so he read the contract carefully
and concluded that the Elegante Group offered a relatively low price for the Wick Group to show their sincerity in
securing their cooperation.
“I've already read the contract, Mister Wolf. As far as | can see, there's no issue at all. However, I'd like to discuss
the price a little...” Bernard frowned and kept them in
suspense.
“Is it too high?” Leon’s heart skipped a beat. He did not know anything about how companies conducted
business and put prices on their products, so he was unsure if the price he put was too high or too low.
