Chapter 289
Leonard walked into the main hall with a grim expression and said nothing. He couldn't help but see the irony of
the situation as he looked at the large number of people. He hated being exploited as a tool for the Sawyer
family's goals. Since he wasn't their biological son, he led to be careful and never act out.
in the eyes of the others, it seemed like the Sawyer family treated him as their own. But only he knew how much
he had endured and how he had been wallding on epeshells all these years.
Xavier, the second beir of the Sawyer family, patted him on the shoulder. That woman's not bad.*
Upon hearing this, Leonard's expression grew even darker. "Don't act like you know everything."
Xavier smirked lightly and said, "Don't follow my footsteps. Look where I've ended up. Do you think you'll do any
better? As long as Dad's alive, we won't ever know what freedom is" Despite his displeasure, Leonard had never

Xavier let out a cold laugh. "My silly little brother, that old man's kindness is exclusively for you and your mother.

Leonard was taken aback by his words. This was Xavier's first topening up to him. In the past, both of his

The inevitable occurred, and Leonard finally met the woman Daniel arranged for him.
The Klein family, one of Joville's top ten famous families, was an excellent match for the Sawyer family. Leonard
and the woman were close in age. At first glance, Yelena Klein, the oldest daughter of the Klein family, was
graceful, beautiful, and lovely. There was no flaw to pick on.
The elders of both families were evidently happy, participating in spirited conversations, making it obvious they
favored this marriage arrangement.
However, for Yelena and Leonard to stay there during the discussion was nothing short of torment. The two
exchanged knowing glances before discreetly excusing themselves, stating they needed to speak alone.
Yelena took the initiative to link her arm to Leonard's, but he immediately felt uncomfortable. Once they were
out of sight of the elders and were alone on the balcony, he carefully drew his arm away. "Looks like you're not

"I'd never lower myself by associating with someone like you. When Mr. Sawyer dies, you probably won't even
get a single penny of his inheritance, right?" Leonard's gaze turned cold as the cigarette dangled from his lips.
"Who the hell are you calling an illegitimate child?"
Before Leonard could d respond, someone stole his line, and a shadow appeared before him as they delivered a
smack across Yelena's face.
