Chapter 53
“Albert, can you go back to work?”
After Joshua and the others left, Leonard looked at Albert with a smile. “Leonard, thank you. I will work hard, and I will never resign again.”
“Take care of the family affairs first, and I will visit your father another day.”
Leonard patted Albert’s shoulder.
And Albert nodded.
Because he was worried about his father, he left soon after.
After Albert left, Judy came over.
“Leonard, why do they call you Mr. Santos?”
“Maybe I look like a boss.”
Leonard said casually.
Judy pouted.
She thought this answer was too perfunctory.
“Then how did you know Michael?”
That was what she was curious about.
For someone like her, Michael was definitely a big shot.
“In prison.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Hearing this, Judy felt a little disappointed. She had thought that Leonard had some hidden identity.
It turned out that he met Michael in prison.
This was slightly different from what she had imagined in her heart.
“Leonard, do you want to have a meal with me?”
Seeing that Leonard turned around and was about to leave, Judy finally couldn’t help but say.
Actually, she still had a lot of curiosity about Leonard.
And regardless of Leonard’s true identity, it was worth making friends with him for the fact of his acquaintance with
Michael.
“I have no time.”
Leonard directly rejected her.
“Come on, Leonard. I still owe you for saving me last time. You gotta give me a chance to repay you.”
Judy grabbed Leonard’s arm and said coquettishly.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Flora calling.
“Leonard, where are you now? Wilder kidnapped Kenia. That ba stard… I don’t know what he will do to her. We are not able to locate him now.
“You know Mr. Lambert, don’t you? He is a man of influence. Could you ask his favor and send someone to find him?”
“Wilder kidnapped Kenia?”
Leonard was taken aback.
He thought that Kenia had run out of the community before, and maybe she was just to see Wilder.
Wilder was cri ppled and impotent by him, plus the collapse of the Acosta family. It was very likely that he would have a distorted psychology.
“Idiot, I warned her many times that Wilder was up to no good. It was a suicide mission to go for him all by herself,” thought Leonard.

Chapter 53
Leonard comforted her by saying, “Auntie, don’t worry, I will call Mr. Lambert right away, and I will definitely bring her
back.”
With that, he hung up the phone and called Eagle.
“Eagle, locate a phone number for me… Yes, right now.”
After hanging up the phone, he calmed down a lot and looked at Judy beside him.
“Did you drive?”
Judy had got a rough picture of it from the call. She nodded hastily and took out the key.
Leonard took the key and walked outside.
However, Judy followed up.
“Why are you following me?”
“Kenia is also my friend, and I want to help.”
Judy said.
“All right.”
It didn’t matter to Leonard whether he took Judy with him or not.
After getting into Judy’s car, Leonard drove directly out of the parking lot.
As soon as he got on the road, he received a call from Eagle, and the location had been sent to Leonard’s cell phone.
Having seen the message, he hit the gas, and the car rushed out.
At this moment, Judy clung tightly to the seat at the back, clutching the armrest, her face turned pale with fright.
She was a timid girl, and she usually didn’t drive faster than forty miles an hour, so such a fast speed was too scary for her.
But soon, she got used to it.
It was just that, looking at the traffic going backward around her, she felt a little frightened.
“Leonard, you always drive so fast?”
Judy couldn’t help asking.
Leonard shook his head and said, “No, I don’t have a driver’s license, and I don’t drive.”
“What?”
Judy’s face turned pale.
And at this time, a sharp turn came.
In a flash, Judy’s face was stuck to the window gla** with a snap.
Before she could pull her face off the gla**, the car turned right again, and she was thrown on Leonard.
Judy was frightened all the way, and after she experienced the nightmarish jolt, the car stopped in front of a villa with a
sudden brake.
“Stay in the car, and don’t come out.”
Leonard gave
orders coldly, then got out of the car and ran towards the villa.
At this moment, inside the villa.
Kenia’s hands were wrapped in tape, and circles of tape were tied around her body, outlining her exquisite figure.
But Wilder, who was sitting in a wheelchair opposite, only had hatred in his eyes.
With a look of fear on her face, Kenia said, “Wilder, it was Leonard who beat you. It has nothing to do with me. Why did you tie me up?”
Hearing this, Wilder showed a bit of madness in his eyes.
“Leonard, I will not let him go, but you are the same. If it is not because of you, will I end up like this?”
As he spoke, Wilder played with the gun in his hand, aimed at Kenia’s head, and made a popping sound.
Every time he laughed, Kenia trembled with fright.

Chapter 53
“Ha ha…”
Wilder had a sinister smile on his face.
“Kenia, you got a pretty face. Do you think if I pull the trigger, your head will explode like a watermelon?”
Kenia was so frightened that she almost wet my pants.
“Don’t kill me, Wilder, please. Don’t you like me the most? I’ll be your girlfriend, and I’ll marry you, and I can do whatever you want me to do.”
“Pooh!”
Wilder spat in disdain.
“You sl ut, who likes you? I just want to play with you. You really think of yourself as a heartthrob?
“I’m engaged, and the woman is right in line with my family. What are you? You want to marry into my family? Stop dreaming!”
Hearing this, even in extreme fear, Kenia was still stunned and couldn’t believe what he had said.
“What did you say? You’re engaged? So you’ve been lying to me before?”
“Yes.”
Wilder laughed loudly.
“You idiot. My family is so rich, and there are so many chicks eager to be my girlfriend. How could I fall in love with you? I’m just playing for fun.
“It’s all Leonard’s fault. If it wasn’t for that motherfu cker, I would have got you. Da mn it.
“That ba stard ruined me, and I won’t make it easy for him. I will kill him after I kill you.
“He made me impotent, f uck. I just want to sleep with his cousin. And you were willing to be f ucked by me, right? It has nothing to do with him. Ba stard, I’m gonna kill you…”
Kenia froze there, tears running down her cheeks.
She thought, ‘It turns out that what Leonard said is true. I thought I was charming and dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family. It’s just a joke.
If I had listened to Leonard and stayed far away from Wilder, I wouldn’t have ended up like this now!
Seeing the cold and dark muzzle of the gun in Wilder’s hand stretching towards her, Kenia was despairing.
“I have made a phone call just now. Why hasn’t anyone come to save me? I’m really going to die here today?” Kenia thought.
