Chapter 379: The Deadliest Blow to Him
Chapter 379: The Deadliest Blow to Him
When Leigh leaves the villa, his anger still hasn't gone away.
It is only two o'clock in the afternoon, so he drives to the company. Seeing the hostility and gloomy
expression on his face, the employees didn't dare to stay close to him and make a sound.
Leigh vents the remaining anger in the meeting room and scolds the manager after finding his mistake.
In the meeting room, he doesn't stop scolding.
The executives listen silently, their hearts filled with anguish.
Damn it, wasn't Mr. Leigh happy on his birthday, giving everyone candies and saying that his wife was
pregnant? Why does he change after the birthday?
Is it because his wife lost the baby and he treats them as a vent to his anger during this period of time?
Everyone guesses this, but they don't dare to ask.
An hour and a half later, the hell-like meeting finally ends. Everyone rushes out of the meeting room
and prays in their hearts that no more meetings will be held this week.
Leigh sits alone in the conference room for a long time, deep in thought.
It isn't until someone comes to clean up and calls him, "Mr. Leigh, it's time to knock off." Then he
regains his senses and leaves the meeting room.
At a quarter past six, it is getting dark.
Evelyn calls and asks him if he will come back for dinner. He wants to go back, but Evelyn mentions
Jessie and says, "Jessie has been abroad for so long. Do you want to fly over to see her? She's
pregnant. It's very hard for her. Don't let her handle her work abroad. What if she's tired?"
Immediately, anger burns in Leigh's heart again. He says impatiently, "She wants to go there. What can
I do? Mom, don't worry about her all the time. If you have nothing else, go to the beauty salon and have
a beauty care!"
"What are you talking about?" Evelyn pauses and asks him, "Did you quarrel with Jessie?"
"No!"
Evelyn says angrily, "Sounds like you have quarreled with Jessie. Leigh, you should be considerate.
She is pregnant, why are you angry with her..."
"Mom, I still have something to do. I'm hanging up!" He is reluctant to listen and hangs up the phone.
He doesn't want to go home.
Coincidentally, a friend asks him if he is free to come to the DM club for a drink. Leigh replies him and
immediately drives to the DM club.
After entering the clubhouse, he pushes open the private room door and finds that there are quite a few
people inside.
"Leigh, good evening!" When his friend sees him, he immediately stands up to welcome him. He hugs
his shoulders and smiles, "I heard that you took over the Lewis Group. I'm afraid you won't have time to
hang out with us!" C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Leigh sits down on the sofa and kicks him lightly. "You've already invited me. Even if I don't have time, I
still have to come here. Otherwise, I might be cursed by you guys."
The group of people in the private room burst into laughter.
Those who can join Leigh's circle are all bona-fide rich second generations. Everyone sits down to
drink and chats in twos and threes, exchanging resources and connections.
Now that Leigh has taken over the Lewis Group and is on good terms with Mr. Smith, the others are
much inferior to him. Therefore, Leigh becomes the center of them. As long as he wants the resources,
no one dares to refuse him. They hope to have a good relationship with Leigh so that they will be able
to share a piece of cake in other projects.
After drinking and chatting with his friends in an intoxicated atmosphere and easily obtaining a few
resources, Leigh does not feel so uncomfortable anymore. After drinking for a while, he is tired and
moves to a quiet place to rest.
Lazily, he rests his legs on a soft chair, takes out a phone with broken a screen from his pocket, and
slides it open.
This phone belongs to Jessie.
He was doubtful about Jana's words and the screenshots. Now Jessie is locked up in the villa, Leigh
could easily unlock her phone after confiscating it.
The plans in Jessie's cell phone memo, especially the plan that she wants to cheat him with Jana, stab
him in the heart like a knife.
These are only minor injuries. He can put up with them.
The most fatal blow is when he saw Jessie who had killed the child in the ward that day. The woman's
cold expression and indifferent tone make him want to strangle her to death.
The more Leigh looks at these things, the more he wants to torture her.
At this time, Chace who has been gone for a long time comes in and complains, "Holy shit, my dad is
here too! He finds that I am here and calls me over. Guess what? Mr. Clay's daughter has returned
home. He wants to work with Mr. Clay, so he tries to get me and that old man's daughter together!"
"Wow, your father is making a match for you?" Someone teases, "That's good. It spares you the hunt."
"Shut up!" Chace rolls his eyes and says unhappily, "Who doesn't know about Mr. Clay's daughter?
She's getting uglier from what she's done with her face, just like her mother!"
A few friends burst out laughing at him.
After the teasing ends, someone asks, "Did Mr. Clay participate in that matter?"
"What matter?"
The group of people seems especially curious about this and pursued.
"You didn't know about what happened in DM club a few years ago?" That person lowers his voice and
says, "I heard that when Mr. Clay was discussing business with the other bosses, he took a fancy to
the special assistant brought by the Boss of YX Group and wanted her. The Boss gave her to him
without saying a word, and he even got involved himself."
"This is quite common in their circles. Actually, it can be solved with money. But the special assistant
was such a strong character that she committed suicide on the night of her miscarriage."
"Wow, how very exciting!"
Sighs sound one after another.
"It's exciting!" The man shrugs his shoulders and does not notice Leigh looking up. "Those people used
money to keep others’ mouths shut and pour dirty water on her parents. They committed suicide too.
It's been ages. They manage to keep it a secret. I overheard when my uncle talked about this with
others. "
Leigh plays with his phone and smiles lazily, "Really? I heard that Mr. Clay is the model of Yorkshire.
Everyone in the circle envies him and his wife!"
"Some people look honest but are rather disgusting in private! However, Mr. Clay has a lot of
resources, and working with him can earn a lot of money. This is true." A man cries out in excitement.
"Really? Then I'll go meet him." Leigh stands up and puts his phone in his pocket. "I just took over
Lewis Group. I can't miss such a good opportunity."
Someone teases, "Leigh, I heard you have a wife? Be careful. Don't cooperate with Mr. Clay. If he
drags you in, you'll be in trouble."
Leigh's eyes darken. He shakes his head and says, "I don't have a wife. I was joking. I would be asking
for wedding gifts from all of you if I have."
"Look, I told you he was lying. How could he have a wife? Give me the money!"
"You're asking Leigh this on purpose, aren't you?"
"On purpose? Fuck. When you lose a bet, you give the winner money!"
"..."
Everyone bets over whether Leigh has a wife. Now the truth is out, they can declare winners and
losers.
While everyone is bustling with excitement, Leigh's heart is riddled and hurt and his expression is
cold.
