Chapter 2445

“How dare he? Leon made an appointment with my brother and he just bailed?

What does he take us for?” Renee snapped out of it and said angrily.

She was already running out of patience when she was waiting alongside Hugo.

To make matters worse, she waited for nothing.

Leon did not come and instead, sent a vice-president over, which felt like a direct insult to the Morrisons and her brother. Naturally, she was not going to show him any respect either.

“Miss Morrison, please calm down! Our chairman has something important to attend to, so he didn’t mean to be absent. Allow me to apologize in his place.”

Leon smiled, feeling slightly wronged.

He assumed that Hugo would welcome him alone and all he needed to do was explain his stance to prevent Hugo from exposing his true identity. To his bewilderment, Hugo came with Renee, which caught Leon by surprise.

Still, he could not tell Renee his true identity and instantly, he felt like he was stuck and could only put up with her attitude.

“Apologize in his place? You’re just a vice president. Who do you think you are?

Who are you to apologize in his place?” Renee scoffed with a dark expression.

As the eldest unwed daughter of the Morrisons, she was never disrespected, so even when Leon was sincere with his apology, she remained upset.

On top of that, her curiosity toward Leon transformed into anger, so she decided to vent her frustration on the man before her.

Instantly, she developed a bad impression on both Leon and the man before her.

“Renee, don’t be rude to Mister Wolf!” Sensing that her speech was getting out of line, Hugo intercepted.

“I’m not being rude. I’m telling the truth! This Leon guy probably isn’t a good person. He’s way out of line!” She said angrily.

Regardless, as a well-educated lady of a powerful family, she didn’t forget her manners and was merely prideful.

The man before her appeared to be Leon’s subordinate and since he was not Leon himself, she did not insult him further after a few words.

“Mister Wolf, my sister didn’t hold her tongue and has offended you just now.

Please forgive her,” Hugo smiled apologetically.

“It’s fine! This is our chairman’s fault, so I don’t blame Miss Morrison,” Leon said with a smile, not thinking much of her words.

“That’s right! You’re pretty just, at the very least. That makes you better than Leon, who can’t keep his promise.” The expression on Renee’s face eased slightly when Hugh pointed out Leon’s mistakes.

She immediately changed her mind and decided that Hugh was still better than Leon.

“Thank you for the compliment, Miss Morrison.” Amused by her comment, Leon smiled.

Seeing as Leon was not offended and Renee was gaining control of her temper, Hugo changed the subject. “Alright. Mister Wolf, let’s talk inside. My dad, grandfather, and everyone else is waiting for you in the main hall.” “Sure,” Leon said, before following the two into the Morrisons’ mansion.
