Chapter 680 The Air Conditioner Doesn't Work
Before Wynn went to teach Jon a lesson, Jon came to them himself.
At that time, Jon knew what was waiting for him. But he was willing to give up everything he had and accept any punishment just to get Valerie back.
They had never thought that she would be confined in the castle by Leon.
After all, they had never imagined that Leon was capable of doing such a thing. According to their investigation, he had a girlfriend in high school who fell in love with another boy.
When the girl realized that she had fallen in love with another boy, she confessed it to Leon and apologized, instead of cheating on him secretly. This was the reason why Leon didn't get mad at the girl back then; he even gave her his blessing.
Later on, the three of them became friends. In fact, Leon was the best man when the girl and boy got married.
This was the case Jon and Valerie was trying to imitate. It seemed easy, but it was more complicated than they thought it would be. It was all Valerie's idea, and Jon originally didn't agree to it. However, he couldn't change her mind, so he was left without a choice.
After finding out that she was trapped in the castle, he regretted his decision. He tried every means to save her, but no one could help him for fear of offending Leon. Therefore, he had no choice but to go there himself to get her back.
But he was no match to the people waiting for him in the castle. He was almost beaten to death that he had to beg for help regardless of his dignity. Wynn even thought he was insane.
At that moment, he pitied Jon. He thought he didn't seem to be a bastard who would ask his girlfriend to seduce another man. But he was too angry to realize that earlier, so he had beaten him
up.
In the end, he figured that Jon was not only insane, but also had bad taste in woman.
Just like this guy, Leon had bad taste as well. Wynn couldn't understand why they fell in love with Valerie.
In his eyes, she looked like a hypocrite who knew how to use her own advantages to fool around men. And she always looked innocent.
However, it seemed that men were fond of this kind of woman.
Well, he was an exception. He didn't like her.
Thanks to the princess, Wynn was able to see through people's mind at a glance. Although the princess didn't like to smile or talk, her eyes were so sharp that she could accurately see through people's minds.
Back then, he really wanted to share these abilities with Leon, so he could see Valerie's true colors.
Knowing that Jon had been beaten up by Wynn, Valerie used her life as her trump card to force Leon to free them. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
The castle was next to a cliff. She stood there holding a fruit knife against her neck, threatening Leon to take her own life if he didn't let go of her and Jon.
What Wynn didn't understand was why she threw the knife instead of using it to stab herself if she really wanted to die. She jumped off the cliff, where the sea was waiting below, which meant she wouldn't die that easily.
Based on her emotional state at that time, if she cut her throat with the fruit knife, she would have died on the spot.
It would've been satisfying if Valerie died, so Wynn felt disappointed when she changed her mind the last second and jumped into the sea. He didn't even want to move at all when Leon called for help to save her.
So in the end, Leon had to jump down and saved her by himself.
Valerie's trick worked perfectly. When she woke up, she and Jon left together and had a happy ending.
When Anne found out about what happened, she didn't say anything nor did she punish her son. She simply ordered someone to demolish the castle worth hundreds of millions, regardless of Leon's objection.
The memories Leon shared with Valerie was completely erased when the castle was demolished flatly, leaving no trace of her.
This was the reason why he had not spoken with his mother for a period of time.
The car finally stopped, indicating that they had arrived at their destination. Only then did Wynn come back to his senses.
But when he got out of the car, he realized that they were somewhere near L University. "Michelle, why did you bring me here?"
"You didn't tell me where you lived, so I had to take you here. But that's not a problem. You can sleep with Leon tonight."
"I wouldn't dare!" Just by imagining Leon's reaction, Wynn was instantly terrified.
"Okay." Michelle didn't insist anymore. "But since you're already here, come with me upstairs for a while. I'll give you strawberries!"
"You only know eating." There was a hint of disgust in his voice, but he still lifted his luggage and went with her upstairs.
The two of them chatted while walking. They talked about some trivial things, tacitly avoiding the topic they had back in the car.
It was August, so it was hot from morning to night. They were sweating all over.
As soon as they entered the room, the very first thing Michelle did was turn on the air conditioner. "It's not hot as long as the air conditioner is on."
The air blew out slowly from the air conditioner after it was turned on. Wynn sat on the sofa, while Michelle opened the fridge to get a can of soda and a plate of strawberries.
However, ten minutes had already passed, but the room was still hot. If it wasn't for the sound coming from the air conditioner, they would think that it was not on.
Men sweat easily, so Wynn couldn't stand the heat anymore. "Doesn't the air conditioning work? It's still so hot. Did you turn on the air conditioner properly?"
"If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself." It was indeed strange. When Michelle checked the temperature of the air conditioner, it was twenty-two degrees centigrade. It should have been cool after it was turned on for more than ten minutes.
When Wynn looked at the display on the remote control, he confirmed that it was on the right temperature, so he asked, "Is there no refrigerant? Freon?"
"I don't know. I haven't been here for a long time. I need to ask Leon. He lived here alone while I was away."
What she said rendered Wynn speechless. 'He has never lived here since you left. He has been staying in the presidential suite in a five-star hotel. How could you be so gullible? Alas!'
As much as he wanted to say these words out loud, he didn't dare to.
"The air conditioner isn't working because there's a shortage of refrigerant. Call someone to fix it now. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep at night because of the heat." Worry was evident in Wynn's voice as he spoke. He even took out his own phone and was about to call someone.
"I don't think so. Don't worry, there is an air conditioner in the bedroom as well." An idea suddenly occurred to Michelle. "I'm going to turn on the air conditioner in the bedroom and keep the door open, so it will be cool. But the air conditioner here in the living room needs to be repaired. Otherwise we can only stay in the bedroom."
Hearing this, Wynn unconsciously locked and unlocked his phone. Then he firmly put it away and glanced at Leon's room with an evil smile.
No one knew what he was up to do.
He entered Leon's room and closed the door behind him. After a few minutes, he came out, clapping his hands like he was patting the dust away.
"What were you doing in Leon's room, Wynn?" Michelle asked curiously.
"Nothing. I just went inside and had a look." Wynn calmly walked over to pick up his unfinished soda and left with his luggage.
Before getting in the car, he looked at the room with the light on and chuckled to himself. How cunning he was!
If his plan worked, he would raise his glass to praise his wisdom.
He drank up the soda and threw the can into the trash can like shooting a ball in the ring, obviously in a good mood.
