From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 188

The weekend was coming soon.

Willie called Leonard and asked him back to the village to visit the graves.

In the past, when Leonard had been in prison, Flora was responsible for visiting the graves of Leonard’s parents and grandparents.

The graves of Willie’s family were also in the village.

Now that Leonard was back, it was naturally his responsibility to handle these matters.

Concerning the visit to the graves, Leonard had asked Rex to purchase some flowers the day before.

Leonard greeted Rex, who was waiting in the living room. They drove to join Flora and then returned to the village together.

On the highway outside Newden, a brand new five-series BMW, followed closely by a Rolls-Royce, stopped temporarily to rest while passing by a service area.

Willie looked at Leonard’s Rolls-Royce with a hint of envy.

He found his newly acquired five-series

BMW suddenly pale in comparison.

Willie took out a cigarette and handed it to Leonard. When he was about to take out a lighter, Leonard had already lit the cigarette for him.

Willie was immediately flattered.

On the side, Kenia shook Flora’s arm and begged, “Mom, Leonard always listens to you. Remember to ask him to promote me in the company later. It makes no sense that my cousin is the boss of the company while I am just an ordinary employee.”

Flora glanced at Leonard, who was not far away, with a look of embarrassment, but she couldn’t resist Kenia’s constant begging, so Flora nodded reluctantly.

After finishing their cigarettes, they continued their journey.

Passing through two service areas without stopping, they bypassed over 12 miles of mountain roads and arrived at a small mountain village named Thunderpeak Village.

It was named after a big mountain at the village entrance. The village was relatively remote, and there were fewer than 100 households.

After entering the village and making a left

turn, they arrived at Leonard’s house, which was located at the western end.

It had been in disrepair and thus was dilapidated. The yard was lush green, with many fruits and vegetables growing.

They were planted by Leonard’s uncle, Oscar Santos. They were descendants of the same ancestor. Oscar was Leonard’s only relative in the village.

When the cars pulled up at the house, an elderly man with a stooped back walked

over.

Oscar was an honest man and a

hard-working man. He had never been out of the village in his life. He had a son and a daughter. His son worked in the county town in transportation, while his daughter got married in another province and only returned to the village once every few

years.

After Leonard’s parents passed away, he had been taking care of the yard.

Oscar rubbed his weathered eyes and looked at the two cars parked in front of the house.

He didn’t know the Rolls-Royce, but he was familiar with the BMW.

Oscar praised, “Lori, your husband is doing

well now. He drives a BMW. The car must cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?”

Lori was naturally the nickname of Flora.

Willie couldn’t help but show a bit of pride on his face.

He took out a cigarette, handed it to Oscar, and said with a smile, “Oscar, it’s hundreds of thousands of dollars, but it is nothing compared to Leonard’s car. His car costs. millions of dollars.”

Oscar reached out his hand and touched the paint of the Rolls-Royce, murmuring, “Leonard is promising. A few years ago, Leonard was imprisoned. People in the village said that Leonard’s future was ruined. Unexpectedly, Leonard is the most successful man in the Santos family.”

“Oscar, I came back in a hurry this time and bought you some supplements. I hope you like them.”

Leonard opened the trunk and took out the things he had prepared. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Oscar shook his head and said. “Leonard, you don’t have to waste money buying things for me!”

“Oscar, accept them. It is a token of our regard,” Kenia also said.

After chatting at the door for a while. Leonard and Flora walked towards the ancestral graves.

And Willie also went to the graves of the Barton family.

After visiting the graves of his parents and grandparents, Leonard returned with

Flora.

As soon as they entered the village, they saw a black Mercedes-Benz appearing at the entrance of the village.

A young woman wearing a green dress got out of the car, and next to her was a handsome man in a suit.

The man wore gold-rimmed glasses, a watch on his wrist, and a perfectly matched ring on his finger, which accentuated his charm and exuded an extraordinary aura.

The moment Leonard saw the woman, he couldn’t help but have a strange look in his

eyes.

“Isn’t that the daughter of the Jenkins family? She was a beauty when she was a child, and she is even more beautiful now.”

Flora added, “I remember that she and you were childhood sweethearts. When your father was alive, he often joked that he would marry you to the daughter of the

Jenkins family.”

Upon hearing that, Leonard smiled, “Yes. We haven’t seen each other for many years, but in high school, Alyssa and Isaac were regarded as a perfect match. I didn’t expect. them to be husband and wife.”

“Tell me honestly, have you ever had a crush on her?” Flora joked.

Leonard involuntarily touched his nose and said with an awkward smile, “A little bit. But she wasn’t interested in me at that time. After all, her father was the village chief, and her family was richer than ours. In my schooldays, I looked very ordinary, short, and shy. Apart from being better at studying, I had nothing else to surpass Isaac.”

“But now, even a hundred Isaac combined are no match for you,” Flora said proudly.

While saying this, Flora sighed in her mind that no one would have thought that Leonard, who had been imprisoned, would be the richest man in Newden.

“Should we go over and say hello?” Flora asked.

Leonard took a deep breath and shook his head. “I don’t think it’s necessary.”

At the entrance of the village, Isaac Blair

took out a bunch of supplements from the trunk, and the village chief and his wife took them over with smiles.

Many surrounding villagers had envious looks in their eyes, commenting that the village chief’s daughter had married a good

man.

“Isaac, I heard you are a big boss in the town. When will you let my son work for you?” An elderly man asked with a smile.

“I’m not a big boss. I just serve as the general manager of a hotel. Ask him to come to the hotel to find me later, and I’ll make sure everything is arranged.”

Isaac was personable and dazzling.

The elderly man immediately nodded excitedly.

When Leonard passed by the village entrance, he did not stop, but he was still noticed by others.

“Isn’t this the boy from the Santos family? He probably came back to visit his parents’ graves. He used to be the best student in our village at that time, but it’s a pity that he went astray…”

At the sight of Leonard, many villagers were gossiping.

“Leonard, you are back, too.”

Alyssa Blair walked over naturally and greeted Leonard with a smile.

“Alyssa,” Leonard also responded with a smile.

“I heard something happened to you. Are you alright now?” Alyssa asked softly.

Her watery eyes scanned Leonard secretly.

“I’m managing.”

Leonard smiled slightly and didn’t want to talk too much.

“This is my husband, Isaac Blair. We studied in the same high school. Now he works as a general manager of a hotel. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me.”

A look of pride flashed across Alyssa’s eyes.

It was more like showing off Isaac rather than introducing job opportunities to Leonard.

“He serves as the general manager at such a young age. He is awesome,” Leonard said a few polite words and left with Flora.

After walking a while, he faintly overheard the conversation between Isaac and Alyssa.

“Alyssa, I remembered Leonard was trom Class Five. He studied very well in his

chooldays!”

“Yes, but what’s the use of studying well? He can’t find a good job after going to jail. Even if he hadn’t been imprisoned, how much money could he earn? One thousand and six hundred dollars? Two thousand dollars? But Isaac, you can earn more than 20 thousand dollars a month…”
