NovelEnglishThe Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 238
Dominic declared in feigned anger as though he was truly sticking up for Leon’s sake, but in reality, he
brought Leon’s shame to light to make himself appear better.
That was why he insisted on bringing Leon to the gathering so that he could humiliate Leon in front of
everyone.
“What? His wife cheated on him and even got pregnant with the other man’s child? How
embarrassing!”
“This is so funny! Hahaha-”
Everyone was shocked to hear this at first but soon erupted into laughter.
None of them ever was impressed with Leon in the first place, and now that this embarrassing tidbit
came to light, they began to ridicule him even more and cast him looks of disgust.
The only person who was not laughing at that moment was Janice, who pitied Leon greatly. She knew

seriously.
”
“Don’t worry. I’m used to this already,” Leon replied curtly.
He was not an idiot; He knew that Dominic deliberately brought this up to humiliate him.
However, he was now at a place in life where he would no longer be bothered or angered by things like
this.
These people were his old classmates, and just because Dominic was willing to make himself look
better at someone else’s expense did not mean he should do the same. He was not the same kind of
person as all his old college mates!
“You’re just as rational as I remember!” a glimmer of admiration flashed through Janice’s eyes.
The reason she was willing to be friends with Leon in the past was that she admired him greatly,
especially his patience and rationality.
Even though Leon was an average student and did not have many talents in anything, she always
looked up to him for his character.
Dominic and the rest of the people who laughed were a little snubbed when Leon brushed them off.
However, since they were classmates, they did not think it was appropriate to continue ridiculing him,
and gradually the laughter began to taper off awkwardly.
“Ring-”
All of a sudden, Leon’s phone rang. He snuck a glance at the screen and realized that it was Cynthia.
Cynthia’s chirrupy voice rang out from the other end of the line, “Leon, I’ve arrived at The Regency.
Where are you?”
“Oh, I’m in a booth at the restaurant. Please hold on for a moment, I’ll go find you right away,” Leon
explained before hanging up the phone.
“I’m sorry, everyone, but unfortunately I have to meet someone else for lunch, so please excuse me,”

The only reason he agreed to attend the gathering in the first place was to get Janice’s number, and
now that he achieved this, there was no point staying anymore.
“Meet someone else for lunch? Who is it? Your girlfriend?”
Everyone was shocked to hear this. They overheard a woman’s voice on the other end of the line and
instinctively thought it was Leon’s girlfriend.
“How is that possible? You just got divorced not long ago, so how can you possibly find a new girlfriend
so soon?” someone said, chuckling.
Everyone nodded in agreement. They were all well aware of Leon’s background; A broke orphan who
recently got divorced–no woman in her right mind would date someone like this!
“Leon, are you mad because we laughed at you just now? We were just joking; please don’t take this to
heart! “Dominic quickly grabbed hold of Leon’s arm.
The reason he invited Leon here was to humiliate him in front of everyone, so of course, he could not
let
Leon leave so soon!
