Leon asked, smiling.
“Leon, I heard all about your resignation and your breakup with Iris. I was just wondering what
happened- why would the two of you break up out of the blue?” Ariel asked with no intention of
sugarcoating her words
at all.
This was the real reason she invited Leon for dinner.
“Why does there need to be a reason for breaking up?” the smile froze on Leon’s face.
He initially felt a lot better after drowning his sorrows in alcohol the night before and talking to Cynthia,
but now, his pain was once again brought to the surface by Ariel’s mention of Iris.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe finally realized just how important Iris became to him!
“Can you give me a proper answer? If you still think of me as a friend, you should be honest with me,”
Ariel said in displeasure.
“Um, alright.” Leon let out a sigh and decided there was no point hiding it anymore, so he told Ariel the
truth about everything.
“Iris suspects you as the mastermind behind her kidnapping? She questioned your intentions of being
with her and suspects that you’re dating her for her money?” Ariel’s jaw dropped.
“That’s right; her entire family seems to agree.” Leon let out a bitter smile.
“No, that’s impossible!” Ariel shouted, slamming the table as she stood up.
Ariel knew that Leon had put his life in danger to save Iris from being kidnapped, so why would Iris turn
around and suspect him instead?
This was unbelievable!
“Leon, you and I have known each other for quite a while now, so I understand your character. I believe
that you would never have plotted to kidnap Iris, nor will you ever date her for her money!” Ariel
declared.
Leon was a responsible and hardworking employee from the moment he joined Elegante Group and
single- handedly earned them their biggest client and helped set up the research and development
team.
If Leon truly had ill intentions for doing this, he could have approached it differently. Why would he go
through so much and sacrifice everything for both Iris and the company?
This did not make sense!
“Thank you for trusting me, Ariel, but unfortunately, Iris doesn’t see it the way you do,” Leon sighed as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgrief and pain surged through his heart.
So what if everyone else in the world believed him? nothing mattered at all if Iris continued to mistrust
him!
“Don’t give up so soon. This is all just a misunderstanding, and I’m sure Iris must’ve made poor
judgment. Why don’t you come with me and explain everything to her in person? That way, I’ll be able
to defend him as well and things might turn around,” Ariel reassured him.
However, despite this, she could not help feeling a wave of emotions surges through her. After all, she was in love with Leon, and his breakup with Iris would provide her a great opportunity to get close to
him, but she knew this was not the right thing to do.
Iris was her best friend, and knowing that Iris and Leon loved each other, she could not bring herself to
drive a wedge between them, not especially since they broke up over a small misunderstanding.
“There’s no need.” Leon shook his head.
“Why not?”
