Chapter 33 Not So Unacceptable
Leonard admitted nervously, “Yes… I didn’t intentionally hide it from you. You didn’t ask, did you? But none of that matters. I’m just here for the scenic project, Dominic is the investor, and you happened to rent my place… It’s all just a coincidence.”
Bella closed her eyes for a moment. She believed it was a coincidence. Dominic probably wished he never had to see her again, so how could he possibly have any intentions toward her?
She should have realized it earlier. She had felt that the name Leonard Sawyer sounded familiar. No one dared to mess with the Sawyer family of Joville.
Leonard had two brothers, with him being the youngest. Although he didn’t appear in the media often, people inevitably mentioned him.

Bella wasn’t one to be overly compassionate. She knew she had nearly died.
She wasn’t worried that Leonard would get into trouble over this. For the Sawyer family, such trouble wasn’t really trouble at all.
Bella suddenly felt a wave of relief. So, she wasn’t as disgraceful in Dominic’s eyes as she thought. lan finding out about her was a fluke, but if Leonard knew, it meant Dominic hadn’t deliberately kept her a
