Chapter 1043 – Smart Hunter
A moment later, Leo stood up straight, copied his hands into his pockets, and looked at Dennis with a smirk, “Talk?”
As he spoke, a pair of almond eyes looked askance with ulterior motives.
Dennis sniffed at me, thought for a moment, then lifted his feet and walked into the bathroom, “I’ll see you in the den.”
When he finished, he banged the bathroom door shut.
Leo reached out with one hand and scratched his forehead before turning around and walking out of the bedroom.
After twenty minutes of the overhaul, Dennis came out with a change of robe and semi-dry hair, and threw in the towel and headed for the door.
“Wait a minute.” I called out to him, “I’ll go with you.”
After saying that, he turned to cover the two little ones, and only then did he feel relieved to follow them out.
Leo was sitting on the sofa with his coffee at the bottom of his hand when he pushed open the study.
When he saw us come in, he didn’t forget to ask the maid for another cup, “That one who, give me another cup, put less milk and sugar, it’s killing me.”
The words were said in a shady way, and I don’t know who was connoting.
I obediently passed a wink to the maid guarding outside and instructed, “Don’t bother, you go down first.”
Turning around and closing the door, he went on to remind Leo, “Too much coffee is not good for your health, so you might as well switch to tea.”
“It’s hard to change when you’re used to it.” Leo said unconcerned.
At this point Dennis interjected in a low voice, “Studies have shown that long-term heavy coffee consumption can cause heart rate disorders, stomach bleeding, nervousness and a host of other side effects.”
“Is it that exaggerated? You don’t think I’m that gullible like Snowy and the others, do you?” Leo was a little impatient.
I directly snatched the cup from his hand and put it on the other side of the coffee table, “I’d rather believe it than not, you’re not too young, you have to think about Deborah and Tommy.”
Leo had nothing to say, and smacked his lips sadly without answering.
“But suddenly stopping the input of caffeine intake can also result in cardiac arrhythmia, irregular secretion of gastric mucosa, nervousness and other consequences.” Dennis added another sentence without a head.
“So what is it now?” I dropped my face, who was this man siding with?
Dennis sat down across from me without changing his face, “Keep the intake up, taper it down, and stop in moderation.”
“…”
Leo and I a wave of silent white eyes, said equal to did not say.
“All right, get down to business.” Leo probably waited too long and was a bit impatient, asking, “Did you guys encounter any blockage when you went back to resign today?”
“It’s not a good idea to talk about blocking, but it was a success.”
Then, a cursory explanation of the situation at the George Group was given to Leo.
Leo nodded after listening and said thoughtfully, “So, Edgar and Benjamin didn’t even show up?”
This is what I have been assured, “the news are spread out, show up is sooner or later, just sooner or later.”
After thinking about it and feeling that it wasn’t right, he asked one more question, “Did your people hear something?”
Hearing me say this, Leo’s expression was much more serious, with a deeper look in the direction of Dennis, the eyes, obviously distrustful.
I followed his eyes and was about to explain when Dennis spoke up before me.
“Someone contacted the elders of Country M in my name and Clara’s, is that what you’re trying to say?” He leaned on the sofa with an expressionless face, his expression calm and self-possessed.
When he turned his head to look at him, he found that Dennis had already locked eyes with Leo.
Now each is entrenched on one side of the mall lord, eye warfare saber rattling, and can not tell who is more powerful.
Only Leo looked even more aggressive, “You know about this, so it’s really you who did it?”
Spare me outside the situation, but heard the cold questioning in his words, rushed to inquire about the situation, “What contact Country M, you can not let me guess here alone?”
Leo then suppressed his anger and explained to me in a good-natured manner, “This man you want to repeat the same mistake, sent someone to cross my eyes in City P and ran to Country M to deliver a letter, saying that you and the children want to settle in the country and want several elders to come back to discuss it properly, huh? Despicable!”
These last two words were completely squeezed out from between the teeth through clenched teeth.
The general idea is that someone is intending to swindle the elders back in the name of Dennis and me, and then try to hold them hostage and blackmail us.
It must be said that those who can come up with this trick are not generally deep-rooted in mind.
Even after I came to my senses, I tried many times, but I could only take into account the situation at home, and the person who designed all this, actually managed to respond in such a short time, and reached directly to the Country M across the ocean.
Had Leo’s vigilance not been what it used to be, we probably would have lost sight of the other side and fallen into passivity again.
But this time, I don’t doubt Dennis.
In the face of Leo’s questioning, I reached out and put my hand on the back of Dennis’ hand and held it together with him to make my position clear, “Brother, Dennis didn’t do it, there should be some other misunderstanding here.”
Leo let out a long breath and looked at me with hatred, “Didn’t you hear him admit it himself?” Clara, wake up, feelings are not the whole life, you’ve already died once, be sensible.”
I knew he was thinking of me, but still wanted to be firm for once.
I laughed bitterly and said to myself, “It’s because I died once that I know how valuable Dennis who is willing to put down his pride of heaven for me and willingly become a superfluous son-in-law without dignity.”
There was a pause before I continued, “Brother, you do not know, do not know how Dennis grew up to today, even if it is the fault of Edgar and his wife, Dennis still in those nearly twenty years of revenge career, will be honed into a machine without feelings, indifferent to everything, those six years, it is because of that kind of character, because the words of the next of kin , to my married wife’s I do not care.”
I turned my face and looked at Dennis with a tearful smile, “At all times, Dennis is the one who will not be absolutely constrained, stinky guy, otherwise now, Mr. George’s position would have fallen elsewhere.”
Dennis listened attentively while his eyes gradually grew smiles, more and more sweet, backhandedly holding my hand in the palm of his hand.
Leo looked like he wanted to wash his eyes, boom stood up, condescendingly said, “I have no time to see you two you and me, anyway, I have sent someone to check, if the final result is not as satisfactory, Dennis, you do not blame me not to give you a chance.”
Dennis turned around slowly at this point, “What’s with all the excitement brother-in-law, when did I say I did it?”
Leo’s face was even more ugly, his eyes downcast, and his face had the words “hurry up and explain to me” written on it.
Dennis twisted my hand, his palm dropping to the tiger’s mouth of his large hand, he kept rubbing my knuckles back and forth with his thumb, staring at his own movements with interest, and said unhurriedly, “A clever hunter, often in the form of prey, my people did go to Country M, and did ask a few elders to return to the country, but not to be hostages, but to to be bait.”
After saying that, the dragonfly pecked me on the back of my hand.
Itchy.
Just like the phrase, it inexplicably screams excitement.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
