Chapter 94
Eileen and her group decided to go out for a drive in the countryside.
Leonard had no interest in joining them, so he excused himself.
Many people sighed in relief. Clearly, they felt uncomfortable with Leonard, an outsider. Only Marianna showed a hint of regret.
Rex’s car was already waiting downstairs.
When Marianna and the other women stood by the window, they watched Leonard get into a million– dollar car and leave the community.
A woman standing next to them couldn’t help but comment, “Leonard must be a big shot. He even has a car to pick him up.”
Hearing this, Marianna’s eyes lit up with joy. She quickly added, “That’s right. He lives in Shoal Manor. He has many subordinates.”
“But compared to the Rodgers family, even the richest person in Newden City doesn’t stand a chance.”
Eileen’s words discouraged Marianna.
Marianna fell silent.
Yes, not just Eileen and her group, but the rest of the Rodgers family would think the same.
Newden City did not have many big shots.
“The fact that Leonard is valued by Miss Rodgers means he’s no ordinary man. But when Zavier comes to Newden City, Leonard might be brought down to earth. He might even meet a tragic end.”
Kayla said this with a strange tone.
For a moment, those who were surprised by Leonard’s status began to mourn for him.
“With me protecting him, I won’t let Zavier harm him.”
Marianna announced loudly.
Everyone sighed and said nothing.
Their expressions said it all.
Inside the car, Leonard sat in the backseat.
Rex turned around and said, “Mr. Santos, there’s a traitor in Mr. Clarkson’s company. They stole confidential information and attempted to defect. They have now escaped to Newden City and been caught by Mr. Clarkson’s men, but they’ve hidden the information. They’re fearless and won’t cooperate. Mr. Clarkson wants you to try and handle it.”
“Okay.”
Leonard nodded.
As it was Ibrahim’s request, Leonard wouldn’t refuse.
Moreover, he wanted to learn more about Ibrahim.
“Are we going there now?”
Leonard asked.
Rex shook his head.
“The one guarding the traitor is a subordinate of Mr. Clarkson. They don’t even trust me. I don’t know the exact location. I will drop you at your villa and then contact him.
“Once I confirm the location, I’ll come and pick you up.”
“Okay.”
Leonard nodded before closing his eyes to rest.
In the afternoon.
Leonard visited the Santos Group, but he didn’t inform the staff.
He went up to the top floor alone to meet Gracia.

He got a sense of the company’s current situation and left.
The very next morning.
After Leonard had practiced martial arts, he went to a local eatery for breakfast. He then prepared to go out and explore.
Leonard had spent his entire educational life from elementary school to university in Newden City. This city was filled with his memories.
He remembered stopping at the large food stall near his university. Back then, he was pursuing Emily. He had taken his allowance and treated Emily’s dormmates to dinner.
But after that meal, he had to live on plain bread for the rest of the month. It made him think about how foolish he had
been.
At that moment, a call came in from Rex.
“Mr. Santos, where are you? I’m coming to pick you up now.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
After telling Rex his location, Leonard put the phone in his pocket. He looked up, and he froze.
He saw Emily, dressed in black, holding the arm of a middle–aged man with chubby cheeks. They were walking toward him.
Looking at how close they were, Leonard felt that they seemed like a couple. The man looked like he was in his forties and was quite unattractive.
He had a gold chain around his neck and a small bag around his waist.
Emily noticed Leonard. She instantly dropped her head, feeling guilty.
She despised Leonard. If it weren’t for him, the Loftus family wouldn’t have kicked her out,
Now, the last person she wanted to see was Leonard.
After all, if she hadn’t run off and married Kylo but instead waited for Leonard outside,
Leonard’s love for her would have spoiled her.
“Dennis, let’s turn around and leave,”
Emily whispered to the chubby man.
The man furrowed his brows.
“Why?”
He noticed Leonard, who was standing there, staring intently at them. He asked coldly, “Do you have a problem with him? Why are you afraid? I’m here for you.”
As he spoke, the man gave Emily’s behind a firm pat.
Emily nodded. “He’s my ex–boyfriend. We have some disputes. Don’t provoke him. He’s not simple.“.
Emily’s words did not calm Dennis. Instead, it seemed to excite him more.
He invested in real estate. Now he was worth billions. He even had a bunch of subordinates strutting around.
Emily seemed to be saying that she felt inferior to her ex–boyfriend. Seeing that, Dennis snorted and said, “Don’t worry. Today, I’ll show you that I’m not only impressive in bed.”
With that, Dennis ignored Emily’s pleas and walked straight toward Leonard.
Leonard naturally saw Emily and Dennis approaching.
Seeing Dennis in a mighty rage, Leonard smirked. He asked, “Emily, is this your dad? I don’t remember your dad looking like this.”
Hearing Leonard’s words, Emily’s face turned red.
Dennis was seething with anger at Leonard’s words.
He felt that Leonard was clearly mocking his age.
“You’re asking for it, Kiddo. Do you know who I am?”
“I’m Dennis Wright from the Fanco Group, I’ve got more than fifty guys under me.”
“Kneel down and lick my shoes right now, or I’ll beat you up.”
11:02
Leonard looked amused and sighed, turning to Emily.
“Emily, I didn’t expect you to end up with such a guy. It’s such a pity.”
Hearing Leonard’s words, Emily bowed her head even lower.
Meanwhile, Dennis, fuming, clenched his fists.
“Kiddo, are you mocking me?”
“No.”
Leonard denied it outright.
“I’m mocking a pig. It has nothing to do with you.”
“You’re asking for it.
With that, Dennis swung a punch at Leonard.
Leonard simply sidestepped, and Dennis stumbled forward, falling flat on his face.
Leonard laughed out loud.
He was right to call Dennis a pig, as he was as stupid as one.
By this time, a crowd of students had gathered.
There was also a balding professor.
Upon seeing Leonard, the professor rubbed his eyes in surprise and joy. “Leonard, is that you?”
