Seeing Leonard take out his phone and make a call, Martin panicked but soon calmed down.
He knew Coleâs friends but had never heard of Leonard.
Leonard was clearly pretending.
âWhatâs going on? He called Coleâs name directly. Does he really know Martinâs father?â.
âHow possible? Even if he really knows Cole, will he punish his son for an outsider?â
âThat makes sense.â
âLeonard does have someone on his back, but he is a bit complacent.â
People around all shook their heads and felt pity for Leonard.
Even if it was really Coleâs number, Leonard didnât have the right to command him unless Leonard was the Governor of Newden City or as powerful as Ethan.
Before answering the phone, Cole was flirting with his secretary. He was so frightened and almost dropped his phone on the ground when he heard it was Leonard.
Cole didnât expect his son would provoke Leonard, the future heir of the Gora Group. He heard Ethan and others had even injected capital into Leonardâs company yesterday.
Leonard was someone whom the Klein family couldnât afford to offend in Newden City.
âMr. Santos, my son is ignorant. I apologize to you for what he did. Please donât take it to your heart.â
âYour son swindled money under my name and wanted me to kneel down and apologize to him. If you canât discipline him, I donât mind helping you teach him a lesson,â Leonard said coldly.
âWhat?â
When Cole heard this, his voice trembled with fright.
âMr. Santos, please donât. Iâll call him right away.â
Cole knew how dominant the Gora Group was.
Leonard might beat Martin hard and even break his legs.
Although Cold was mad at Martin, he couldnât watch his son get hurt.
Leonard snorted coldly and hung up the phone.
âHeâs quite good at acting. I donât think he really made the call.â
âCole is so powerful. How could he have a right to scold him?â
âItâs clearly a bluff, but his acting is too fake, and itâs unrealistic.â
âI have to say Iâm almost deceived by him.â
Everyone whispered to each other and was full of doubts about Leonard.
After all, Cole was one of the big shots in Newden City.
Martin glared at Leonard, his eyes full of anger.
He didnât know who Leonard had called and pretended to reprimand his father.
He thought Leonard was treating him as a fool and humiliating him.
Even if he knew it was fake, he couldnât tolerate it.
âLeonard, you bastard. Youâre done today,â Martin said loudly.
If he could defeat Leonard, he would have punched Leonard right now.
âLeonard went too far. He is clearly humiliating Martin.â
âI canât bear it either if it were me.â
Everyone discussed in low voices.
Kayla said sarcastically, âLeonard, donât be stubborn. You will have no good end when Zavier comes.
11:56 âMr. Klein has given you a chance, but you donât cherish it. Now youâre done as you have offended Mr.
Klein.â
âShut your mouth, idiot.â Leonard didnât have a good impression of Kayla, so he retorted directly.
âYouâ¦â
Kayla was trembling in a fury.
And Marianna was a little speechless.
She didnât understand why Leonard offended Martin and drove himself to a dead end, leaving no room for reconciliation.
âI guess your dadâs call will come in less than two minutes.â
Leonard looked at Martin and said, âYour father said youâre decadent and asked me to help discipline you last time. I agreed with him, but I didnât expect you would have no morality.
âI wonât accept such a person like you.â
Leonardâs words made Martinâs face livid.
Martin gritted his teeth and said, âKid, youâd better say it fast if you have anything to say. You donât have much time.â
Kayla echoed, âStop bragging. If Mr. Cole Klein finds you are making fun of him, he will not spare you.â
Jocelyn persuaded on the side. âLeonard, donât be impulsive. Mr. Klein did go too far, but you donât have to drive yourself to a dead end.â
Leonard turned a deaf ear to the words of the people around him.
Marianna hesitated for a moment and said, âLeonard, actuallyâ¦â
âTrust me.â
Leonard interrupted her.
Marianna met Leonardâs eyes. Thinking that she got him in trouble, she felt a lump in her throat and didnât say anything else.
âItâs been two minutes.â
Martin looked at his watch and said, âDidnât you say I would receive a call from my dad in two minutes?
What else do you want to say?â
âHe was lying. Iâm afraid he will find another excuse.â
âItâs really unacceptable to make fun of his father.â
Leonard said with a smile, âTake it easy. He may call you six or seven minutes later.â
âThatâs funny!â
âLeonard is really stubborn. Why doesnât he say it will be seventy or seven hundred minutes later?â
Leonard handed the bank card to Marianna.
He said, âMarianna, donât beg Martin anymore. He canât help you.
âIt doesnât matter whether Cole calls him or not. Anyway, Cole promised me he would teach his son a lesson. If he fails to discipline him, I will help him.â
Martinâs eyes were burning with anger. âYou insulted my father over and over again. Do you really think my family is easy to provoke?â
Leonard sneered and walked directly outside the box.
âHe ran away as he was about to be exposed. Marianna, what kind of boyfriend is he?â Kayla said indignantly.
âHe is embarrassing himself. We know he has some strength, but he crossed the line to make fun of Martinâs father.â
Marianna let out a long sigh without saying a word.
All her plans were derailed by Leonard.
After offending Martin, she really couldnât think of another way to fight against the Olsen and Rodgers families.
Martinâs face was gloomy. Just as he wanted to say something, his phone rang.
The caller ID was from Cole.
Martinâs heart skipped a beat. He thought, âNo way? It should be just a coincidenceâ¦â
