Chapter 713
It would not have been realistic.
“I’m telling the truth,” Janice wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Leon before she could finish her sentence.
“Janice, that’s enough. I’ve parted ways with the Youngs,” A sharp pain pierced through his chest as he thought of
Iris.
He was frustrated from being judged by Ava and now that Janice mentioned Iris, he felt even more depressed.
His longing for Iris stung him and he was forced to realize how much he struggled to forget about Iris once again.

“It’s fine, I need to go to the bathroom.” Suppressing the misery that filled his chest, Leon got up to exit the room.
Janice was confused as she watched him leave. She could sense that something might have happened to Leon, but

Leon would have been long gone if he did not promise to wait for Janice instead of staying here to be humiliated.
Another ten minutes went by and as their frustration grew, they finally heard footsteps approaching from outside
