A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 237

"Dad, am I that terrible?" Leigh is very dissatisfied, "Since I say so, I will definitely treat Jessie well. Do you not like Jessie?"

"Yes, her family background is not up to standard!" Derek says, "Her family doesn't own a company. How can she help you? You're still young and you are not considerate enough."

"Her parents are both professors. Why is her family background not good?" Leigh doesn't like his father's tone, "Don't be so harsh. Not everyone is running for money."

"What's more, I own several companies and earn quite a bit. If you're so worried, I'll return all of the shares of our company to you tomorrow."

"Leigh, how dare you!" Derek is more than angry. He slaps Leigh fiercely, "Say it again!"

"Honey!"

Evelyn is dumbstruck with terror. After she comes to herself, she tightly grabs Derek' arm to prevent him from attacking again. "Leigh doesn't mean that. Sit down first."

Derek scolds, "He talks back to me for a woman. What does he mean then?"

"He thinks that he can make money now, and he can do everything. But he wouldn't be here today if I didn't pay thousands every year for his everything including his good schools!"

Derek slaps hard. Blood oozes out from the corner of Leigh's mouth. Jessie wants to help him wipe it off, but Leigh stops her.

Leigh wipes the blood with his hand. He looks unruly, "You're my father. You can hit me. If you don't think it's enough, I'll offer my left face to you."

Derek' chest heaves violently. "I don't care how you want to play with her. But if you want to get married, you can only marry a daughter of a rich family."

"No, I don't want to. You can marry one yourself if you want."

"Leigh!" Evelyn scolds, "That's enough. Apologize to your father!"

"He is the one who looks down on people first!" Leigh says, his face filled with disgust. "Because of him, I hate getting married and losing the life for money."

"You have grown up, haven't you?" Derek smiles angrily, "If you think I'm not good, that's fine. Just disown me. Do you think I really need you?"

Leigh sneers, "Do you think I care about a father like you? If you hadn't done so much evil, would my mother be kidnapped and lose the twins?"

"Get lost!" Derek shouts, so angry that he knocks over the dining table.

"Honey, don't be angry. Leigh is still young." Evelyn hugs Derek' waist tightly and winks at Jessie, who drags Leigh away.

They can hear something smashing when they get out of the house.

Leigh's face darkens. He gets in the car and drives without a word while Jessie doesn't say anything.

Later, the car stops by the lake.

After Jessie gets off the car, she walks down the stairs and sees Leigh standing beside the railing, lighting a cigarette with one hand behind the lighter. Then, white smoke envelops his face.

He is so handsome that he can really charm a lot of women.

"I'm sorry." Jessie hugs him from behind without any guilt in her eyes. "I shouldn't have followed you back to dinner, and nothing like that will happen."

"It's not your fault." Leigh says mockingly, "He is such a selfish person. He just judges people according to his own taste."

"I make you quarrel."

Leigh turns around and hugs her, wrapping her in the coat. "There will always be the quarrel. If it's not because of you, there will be other causes. Come on, smile."

Jessie tiptoes to kiss him.

Of course, Leigh does not restrain himself. He holds the back of her head with his palm and kisses her skillfully. Soon, Jessie can only lean in his embrace to catch her breath.
