Chapter 1290
The Ex-Husband's Revenge
âNever mind, Iris! I canât reveal my Potential Energy Forces just like that.â Leon shook his head.
A true warrior did not need to prove his worth, and he was certain that with time, he would be able to prove himself to Patrick and Damian, despite them not believing him now.
âOhâ¦alright!â Judging by Leonâs reaction, Iris could guess that he had a reason for doing so and thus had no choice but to relent.
âYou cannot do it? Iâm sure itâs just because youâre lying!â A sneer crossed Patrickâs face at this, and he grew even more certain that the man before him had tricked Iris!
âIris, this man is a crook, so youâd better not fall for his tricks anymore!â he said to Iris, attempting to foil Leonâs lies so that Iris could see his true colors.
âGrandpa, no, Leon isnât a crook. You just have to believe me. Heâs a powerful warrior, and most importantly, he has a good heart. You will learn to appreciate his talent once you spend time with him.â
Iris tried to defend Leon.
âWhat talent does he have? Lying and tricking women? The truth is already so clear, Iris, and yet you insist on defending him. youâve been utterly brainwashed by him!â Patrick was outraged to hear this.
Just as he was about to continue persuading Iris, however, frantic footsteps echoed from behind him.
A young woman in her late twenties, dressed head to toe in stylish clothing, sprinted into the room.
Grandpa, Father, Mister Yair is hereâ¦â
âIs that so? Thatâs great news! Penny, go invite him in!â Patrick was delighted to hear this.
âYes, Grandpa,â Penny replied, then turned and disappeared out the door again.
âGrandpa, Uncle Damian, since you have a guest, Leon and I wonât take up more of your time. I think itâs time for us to go,â Iris said.
âNo, donât. I still have plenty I want to talk to you about, so thereâs no rush for you to go just yet,â Patrick said quickly. Now that he had seen right through Leonâs tricks, he still wanted to persuade Iris to change her mind about him, so he could not let them leave just like that!
âThatâs right! Iris, you canât just leave so soon, considering how long itâs been since we saw each other!â Damian added.
âOhâ¦okay then. Iâll stay for a little while longer then.â Iris nodded. The truth was, she did not feel like leaving so soon either, considering how she had been looking forward to this meeting for a long time now. wanted to have a private conversation with their guest, However, she was worried that Patrick and Damian and her presence would inconvenience them.
However, since both Patrick and Damian were so desperate to keep her, this meant that she had no reason to go at all.
âWell, thereâs nothing else for you here, you punk, so you can leave now!â Patrick said, turning to glance at Leon.
Iris was his granddaughter, but Leon was just an outsider, and a crook who lied to Iris, no less. There was no reason he wanted to keep Leon here!
Leon froze, unsure of how to react to this. He and Iris had come here together, so he was not willing to leave without her, but since Patrick had already made it clear he did not want him around, he could not possibly insist on staying!
