Chapter 70
“What’s with that book? Aaron was dissatisfied
Leen didn’t respond. If Victoria had been willing to accept Eva’s offer, she would’ve accepted his terms long ago.
“From what Eva said before leaving, she’ll probably cause trouble for Victoria” Aaron changed the subject.
He was still unable to figure out what Leon was thinking. “Are you going to talk to her?
Leon’s lips parted slightly. “Talk about what?!
“Tell her not to go after Victoria, Aaron said, trying to reason with him.
“Victoria already divorced you and has no interest in you anymore. If Eva goes after her now, isn’t she just stirring up trouble for no reason?
Leon’s game darkened instantly. The air around him instantly turned ice–cold.
Aaron’s heart pounded. Wasn’t he just stating the facts? Why was Leon so angry?
“She can do whatever she wants,” Leon said, his voice cool and unreadable. “Even if she causes any trouble, I’ll clean up the mess for her.” Aaron was confused. His brain struggled to keep up. “Wait, who are you talking about? Ewa or Viktoria?!
“Who do you think? Leon said, his tone indiferent.
“Are you out of your mind?” Aston pointed at his own head, completely baffled by Leon’s ruthlessness. “You divorced Victoria because of Eva And now, Evals going after her, and you’re still backing Eva up? “Lonly back up my own people,” Leon said, rephrasing his stance.
Aaron tried to talk some sense into him. “You do realize the only reason Eva is going after Victoria is because you won’t stay out of her lite “And** Leon armained unfazed
Aaron was at a loss. What else was there to say? No sane person would act like this.
right?”
“This is her own choice,” Leon’s gaze lingered on Victoria’s figure on the screen, his dark eyes deeper than ever. “If she doesn’t want to deal with it, she can always come back to me. I’ve left her awayout.”
Aaron’s Eps twitched. What kind of “way out”
rout” was this? It was more like a dead end.
A normal person with a shred of dignity would rather struggle in poverty than take the “way out Leon was offering
Just as Aaron was debating whether to try reasoning with him again, Leon’s phone rang. The screen clearly displayed Eva’s name.
Leon answered. The moment the call connected, a pitiful voice came through.
“Leon, where are you?”
“In my office,” Leon replied calmly
Aaron couldn’t bear to watch. Leon’s ability to lie without blinking was truly something else.
“I went to the hospital earlier. I wanted to comfort Victoria and tell her not to worry too much, but she got impatient and even threw her bag at me,” Eva said, her voice breaking
“It hit my forehead. I think it broke the skin.”
“I have a doctor check on you.” Lean’s voice was gentle and patient. “I’ll come back once I finishuphere.”
“okay” Before hanging up, Eva added, “By the way, Leon, could you not go after Victoria? She only threw the bag at me because she was upset. She wouldn’t normally act like that
“Her mood isn“t my concer, Leon sald, his tone light, “Lonly know she hurt you.”
“But-” Eva tried to argue.
Leon cut her ott. “He good Go home first”
Aaron was hailed
