Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Chapter 57

Although Leonard was very firm in his attitude, Kenia did not dare to go up and slap Emily.

Although Kenia knew that Leonard had a good relationship with Waylon, the host of the banquet, but that was all. But Emily’s husband was the son of the chairman of Loftus Group and had a lot of influence in Newden City.

Waylon let them come to the dinner party because he felt good about Leonard.

So if Leonard caused trouble, Waylon would not be happy either and might even blame him.

“Leonard, I think we should just forget it.”

Kenia hesitated and pulled his sleeve.

But at this moment, Emily next to them couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Hit me? Leonard, you are really something. I’m so afraid. You better explain the situation to me today.

Otherwise, it won’t be easy for you to leave this banquet hall.”

As Emily spoke, people around them began to talk.

“Who is this country bumpkin? How could he be so arrogant and say he wants to hit Mrs. Loftus? He is truly ignorant of life and death.”

“Who is Mrs. Loftus? She is the wife of the young master of Loftus Group, and she works at Fox Bank.

She knows many important people.”

“Don’t even think about hitting Mrs. Loftus. Even if he lays a finger on her, the consequences are not something he can

handle.”

“Today’s dinner party is hosted by Mr. Lambert. He actually dares to cause trouble here. I’m afraid that he doesn’t know how dangerous it will be.”

“I heard that the Loftus family has just established a relationship with Governor’s Mansion. If Mr. Loftus uses its power, Leonard may not be able to get away unscathed.”

Everyone looked at Leonard mockingly.

They looked at Leonard as if they were looking at a poor guy.

Leonard saw that Kenia was afraid to act, so he looked at Emily coldly and said, “If she doesn’t want to hit you, you can slap yourself ten times in the face. Let’s forget this matter, and I won’t pursue your false accusations against us.”

Emily’s eyes were full of sarcasm as she replied, “Leonard, have you lost your mind? How dare you ask me to slap myself ten times? Who do you think you are?”

“I want to ask you, are you threatening me?

“How come? Hasn’t three years in prison taught you anything?

“Think carefully about the hardships you endured in prison, and decide what kind of words you should be saying out of your mouth.

“Now, I’ll give you a chance. If you kneel down and lick my shoes, I’ll let you go. Otherwise, today’s business is not finished yet.”

Hearing Emily’s threat, Kenia couldn’t help but feel scared. She whispered, “Leonard, forget it. We ordinary people can’t afford to offend these big wigs. Let’s go. Can’t we just sk ip the dinner party?”

But Leonard shook his head and said, “That won’t work. She hasn’t paid her price yet, and we were personally invited here by Waylon. If anyone has to leave, it would be them, not us.”

“Haha!”

Hearing this, someone couldn’t help but laugh out loud. ·

“Did I hear that right? Did he say he was an honored guest invited by Mr. Lambert? He might have misunderstood the meaning of the phrase ‘honored guest,’ right?”

“How could he be the guest of Mr. Lambert?”

“I think he isn’t even qualified to be a chew toy for Mr. Lambert’s dog.”

“Where did this hillbilly come from? Does he have a delusional disorder? Mr. Lambert doesn’t even know him.”

“Hahaha, that’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard. They’re living in their own imaginary world and haven’t woken up yet.”

Chapter 57

“Listening to someone like him talk really lowers my intelligence. Let the security guards get rid of him quickly.”

Kenia smiled wryly.

It was true that they were invited by Waylon, but didn’t they beg him for a spot? They were certainly not honored guests.

Emily curled her lip in disdain and said, “Mr. Lambert invited you to be a distinguished guest? You’re quite good at putting on airs. When Mr. Lambert comes later, I’ll ask him.”

Leonard’s expression had turned cold.

“Emily, you are really stubborn. Since you refuse to slap yourself ten times, I will have to do it myself.”

As he spoke, Leonard rolled up his sleeves directly.

Emily did not flinch at such a scene. She yelled loudly, “What? Do you want to hit me? Don’t you see where we are? Do you really think you can act wildly here, you little nobody?”

Kylo, who had stood next to them silently the whole time, took a step forward, looked coldly at Leonard, and said, “Leonard, you have some nerve. How dare you resort to violence at Mr. Lambert’s banquet?

Do you have a death wish or something?”

“Mr. Lambert is a well-known figure in the business community of Newden City, and he has just reached cooperation with Governor’s Mansion. If you disrupt his banquet, you’ll also be offending Governor’s Mansion.

“It is enough to put you back in prison for another three years.”

As Kylo spoke, many people in the audience nodded their heads.

Some women even covered their mouths and laughed lightly, with a hint of pity in their eyes.

“I didn’t expect that Mr. Lambert would actually reach cooperation with Governor’s Mansion. It’s really earth-shattering

news!”

“The Loftus family is truly a family connected to Governor’s Mansion. They even know about such internal news.”

“That’s right. I heard that the Loftus family had received investment from Governor’s Mansion for their project. With this connection alone, they’re destined to soar to great heights.”

“This

guy has offended the Loftus family. He’s going to be locked up for good this time.”

Everyone was discussing it.

“Leonard, now I’ll give you a chance. Kneel down and lick my wife’s shoe sole, bow 120 times, and shout that you’re a ba stard 100 times.”

“If I’m in a good mood, maybe I’ll only let the security guards beat you up instead of sending you to jail.”

Kylo took off his glasses, wiped them with a glasses cloth, put them back on, and looked at him extremely sternly.

“Is that so? Do I have to do all this before you let me go?” Leonard asked with a faint smile on his face.

Everyone around couldn’t help laughing.

Finally, realizing how powerful the Loftus family was, was he ready to surrender?

This was really embarrassing.

Kenia sighed.

“Isn’t Leonard asking for humiliation? Just now, I asked him to leave, but he refused to listen.

The Loftus family has the backing of the Governor’s Mansion. How could he provoke them?’ she thought.

“Emily, after all, you and Leonard were so affectionate back then. How can you bear to humiliate him?

“Just let him go this time, based on your past relationship.”

Nothing would have happened if Kenia did not mention this. But as soon as she brought it up, Emily became furious and barked, “Shut up! Who told you that I had a relationship with him? Is he good enough? Such a country bumpkin!”

Standing next to her, Kylo had his face turn grimmer. He snapped angrily, “Leonard, didn’t you hear what I said? Kneel down and bow, or I’ll kill you.”

The incident years ago was not honorable, and Kylo disliked anyone bringing it up.

“You talk too much.”

Leonard took a step forward and directly slapped him in the face.

Chapter 57 “Smack!”

Kylo’s right cheek was hit, causing him to be thrown to the ground.

His specially imported top-grade glasses were also knocked several feet away and fell to pieces.

The whole scene went silent.

No one had expected Leonard to really dare to act. He was incredibly bodacious.
