Chapter 679 The Past (Part Two)
Michelle kept silent for a long time before she asked, "What happened later?"
At first, Wynn didn't want to tell the rest of the story to Michelle. But since she asked, he thought for a while and finally decided to let her know.
Before he could say anything, Michelle spoke up once more.
"Did Leon fulfill their wish? If he did, who would fulfill his? Leon is such a good man. Why did she lie to him? It shouldn't be like this."
Her tone was flat and bleak. She sounded depressed.
She clearly felt sorry for Leon. He was such a kind and gentle man. She couldn't imagine why anyone would want to hurt him like this.
She couldn't even bring herself to treat him like that.
Michelle clenched her fist tightly. It took a long time for her to slowly loosen it.
Wynn sighed. "Yes, he did. He just let them go."
But before Leon set them free, he decided to keep Valeria like a caged canary in his own territory. He let her enjoy delicious food, but he never let her go.
Although Leon was gentle and harmless, he could also do cruel things. Since childhood to adulthood, he had been taught to never harm anything or anyone. While he might have forced Valerie to stay with him, he never beat her. He was just as gentle as he always was.
However, Valerie was an ungrateful person. She acted like a tyrant while relying solely on Leon's favor. She abused the servants who took care of her. As a result, several of her servants were
injured or severely harassed. Leon tried comforting them all and even apologized on Valerie's behalf.
Every time Valerie saw Leon, she would berate him non-stop. She acted like an arrogant peacock around him, while she called him a beast straight at his face. Moreover, she would scold him for even the tiny details.
Wynn had never met such a woman like Valerie before. She was the one who seduced Leon first. And yet, she blamed him for her faults.
He had secretly investigated Valerie before. He discovered that she had fought with Jon right after the charity dinner. Since then, she had been playing with Leon's feelings. In fact, this was all their trap.
They used Leon's power to deal with Jon's half-brother, Mike Qin. Valerie had accidentally told Leon that she and Jon broke up because Jon didn't believe her—Mike tried to rape her, but Jon didn't believe it, so the two broke up.
Wynn now realized that this was all Valerie's plan. She just wanted to use Leon to deal with Mike.
Wynn had gone to Mike to ask about it. It turned out that he now worked as a dishwasher in a small shop. Leon was making sure that he would never get a decent job on C Island or even get out of the island to start a new life in other places.
This showed Leon's character. He wasn't the type to kill you. That would be too easy for him. He would rather watch you suffer for a long time.
The first time Wynn saw Mike, he thought that Mike wouldn't be the type of person who would do anything bad to his brother's girlfriend. He gave a sense of righteousness. And even though he was reduced to being a dishwasher, he still held that righteousness and stubbornness in his eyes.
But Wynn's gut feeling alone couldn't prove that Mike didn't do it. After all, Leon was also hiding a beast inside himself. Everyone might think that he was gentle, but he also had a different side. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
This was precisely why Valerie dared to seduce Leon. As long as she got what she wanted, she would dump him.
However, she didn't expect that Leon wouldn't let her go at all. He even kept her like a caged canary. She had no freedom at all.
Mike firmly swore that he had never overstepped his boundaries with Valerie. He also denied having any thoughts about her at all.
However, only he and Valerie knew the truth of what happened between them. Valerie insisted that Mike had done something to her. Leon stood by her side then. There was no way Mike could explain himself.
Wynn had seen all kinds of women. He always believed that Valerie had her own ulterior motives. However, Leon was too blinded by love. All Wynn could do was watch.
Nonetheless, he chose to trust Mike, so he confronted Valerie about it. The Feng family treasured Valerie above all else. And she was not that scheming.
With just a few simple words from Wynn, the truth was finally revealed.
Upon realizing that she had said something wrong, Valerie turned pale. Nonetheless, she carried on as if nothing had happened. She remained calm as she explained, "I deliberately revealed it to Leon, so that he can stand up for me. Mike has always been harassing me. I can't stand the way he looks at me with his disgusting eyes."
Of course, Wynn didn't believe her at all. He then asked her if she only approached Leon so that she could take Mike out of the picture for Jon.
At that moment, Valerie panicked and denied everything.
"As long as you tell me the truth, I'll find a way to convince Leon to set you free," Wynn promised.
But Valerie only sneered at that. "Are you kidding me? Leon is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Do you really think he will just let me go that easily? And why should I admit it? I shouldn't have got close to him. I never said that I would be his girlfriend. He was the one pursuing me. And when I got back with Jon, I told him to stop wasting his time on me. Who could have known that he would do this to me? People think he's gentleman, but it turns out he is very good at pretending. He's so disgusting."
What she said pushed Wynn over the edge. In a fit of anger, he pushed back his chair and pointed at Valerie. "I dare you to fucking say that again! Who the fuck are you calling disgusting? A woman like you who plays around with other people's feelings is the disgusting one. You seduced him. After you got what you wanted, you dumped him. You really are a bitch, Valerie Feng."
Valerie was frightened by the ferocious look on his face. His words cut deeply into her, leaving her feeling guilty. She wanted to leave.
Wynn pounded his fist on the table. It shook upon impact. "How dare you leave now? If you don't tell the truth now, I will kill that bastard Jon."
Valerie froze in her tracks. She turned around to glare at him. "If you dare hurt Jon, people will put the blame on Leon."
"Damn it!" Wynn's eyes widened in anger. "I knew that this has been your plan all along!"
In the end, Wynn left in fury. Nonetheless, he tried his best to make Leon realize that this was all just Valerie's ploy.
Wynn thought that Leon would get angry at him again, but Leon only said, "I've known that all along. You don't need to keep an eye on Mike anymore. If he has the power, he can go back to Qin family
again."
"So you've always known the truth." Upon realizing that his efforts were not in vain, Wynn began to grow excited. "Then let go of Valerie, and I'll teach her and Jon a lesson."
However, Leon said, "Let her stay in the castle. But you can do whatever you want with Jon."
"What do you mean?" Wynn was stunned to hear this. 'Does he even know he's being used? Why isn't he doing anything about it?'
He had never met anyone like Leon.
He was so maddening.
