Chapter 86

Leonard left the cruise ship at three o’clock in the afternoon and returned to Newden City.

He participated in Reg Dewey’s birthday banquet this time because of the medicinal herbs.

But these medicinal herbs let him down. Anyway, it was better than nothing.

Leonard finally spent 10 million dollars and bought half of the medicinal herbs.

Although they were not as good as Millennium Ginseng, they were large in quantity and could maintain Leonard’s usual

use.

All the way back to Shoal Manor, when he returned to his villa, he saw a black car parking there.

When Leonard got out of his car, the door of the black car opened, and a middle-aged man in black got out.

The man was obviously waiting for him.

Leonard frowned, and he could vaguely see that there was a woman sitting in the back seat of the black car.

This middle-aged man was a driver or a bodyguard.

He walked up to Leonard directly and said, “Madam Rodgers wants to talk to you; please get in the car.”

At this moment, the car window was rolled down, revealing a graceful and noble face.

She was in her forties, wearing sunglasses, and a strong aura and coldness could be felt from her a few feet away.

This kind of pride came from inside, and those who had not been in the top position for a long time could not cultivate such a temperament.

Just as Leonard’s gaze was roaming over her, the woman in the car said, “Are you Leonard? I’m Melanie Rodgers, Marianna’s mother. Can I have a word with you in another place?

“Don’t worry; I won’t do anything to you. I just want to make some things clear to you.”

Leonard frowned slightly.

When this woman spoke, her attitude was very blunt, giving others a feeling of domineering, which made Leonard very uncomfortable.

But Leonard wanted to know what she would say.

So he immediately nodded, “OK.”

After the words, he directly opened the rear door of her car and sat in.

Seeing this scene, Melanie’s face suddenly turned cold.

The bodyguard even had anger in his eyes.

The rear seats were not for anyone to sit in.

“Let’s go.”

Melanie instructed the bodyguard.

After receiving Leonard’s sign, Rex did not follow behind.

The car soon arrived at a coffee shop. When Leonard walked into the box, the woman motioned him to sit down.

Then he waited quietly.

The waitress beside, wearing a light blue dress, skillfully made the coffee.

Melanie pinched a coffee cup with her slender and fair fingers, and her face in the steaming mist was beautiful and queenly.

She took a sip of coffee lightly and said straight to the point, “My daughter rejected a family marriage because of you, so I hope you can stay away from her.”

Leonard took a sip of coffee, too, then turned the coffee cup in his hand with his fingers and said nothing as if he was thinking about the meaning of her words.

Marianna was the girl Leonard rescued last time at the entrance of the bar.

Later, she treated Leonard to dinner and had no contact with him since then.

Now a middle-aged woman came suddenly, saying that the girl rejected a family marriage for him.

To be honest, Leonard felt it was kind of nonsense.

“You can afford to live in a villa of Shoal Manor, and you can drive a mega luxury car. To be honest, your status has surpassed most of your peers.

“And even unattainable in the eyes of many people. Many women are lining up to marry you.

“But you don’t understand the gap between you and Marianna. Newden City is too small, after all.

“Even the governor of Newden City is nobody in front of the Rodgers family, let alone you.”

Seeing Leonard’s indifferent appearance, Melanie was a little surprised.

To be honest, even in the younger generation of the Rodgers family, there were very few people who could remain calm at

this time.

But when she thought of the importance of the marriage to the Rodgers family, her gaze immediately turned cold.

“So I hope you can promise me that you will stay away from my daughter in the future and will never see her again.

“Otherwise, no matter what kind of forces and backgrounds you have behind you, I will knock you down, and you will never stand up again.”

When she said this, her tone was extremely cold.

So much so that the waitress making coffee next to her couldn’t help shaking.

However, Melanie, who had been paying attention to Leonard’s expression, was disappointed again.

Because Leonard didn’t have a slightest change because of her aura.

Leonard put down the coffee cup, and the corner of his mouth curled up in jest.

“First of all, I have nothing to do with your daughter.”

Hearing this, Melanie immediately relaxed.

She thought that Leonard should be a smart person, but what he said next made her instantly angry.

“But I won’t accept your request. It’s my right to meet or not to meet someone. You can’t control it, and you are nobody to control it.”

The word “nobody” made Melanie’s eyes show a bit of coldness.

The bodyguard next to her couldn’t help taking a step forward but was stopped by Melanie with her eyes.

After a wave of anger, Melanie quickly laughed. “I understand your pride, but that’s because you don’t know about the Rodgers family.

“If you know, you will know how stu pid what you are saying now is.

“I can take what you said just now as an immature young’s joke, but if I see you be with my daughter again, I will make you regret it.”

Melanie stood up slowly and was about to leave.

No need to speak to an insensible person. She had kindly reminded him, if he kept being insensible, she had no choice but to teach him a lesson.

“I might have had no interest in Marianna before, but since you have said that, I’ll have to meet her again.”

Before Melanie left, Leonard’s playful voice sounded.

At this moment, even Melanie, who had always boasted of being extremely self-cultivated, had anger in her eyes, and her voice was even more chilly.

“Boy, you are challenging me!”

“Tiger, teach him a lesson.”

Melanie was finally completely angered by Leonard.

“Got it.”

The man nodded expressionlessly.

Without any extra words, he just took two steps forward and stood in front of Leonard.

“Boy, which arm do you want to break?”

The man asked, full of confidence, obviously not taking Leonard seriously at all.
