Chapter 62
Heated discussions broke out throughout the banquet hall.
“What happened? Mr. Evans wants to break off relations with the Loftus family for Leonard.”
“Does Leonard have any great background? No wonder he is so calm.”
“I’ve never heard of Leonard before. Where does he come from?”
“Appearances are often deceptive!”
Mark, who fell to the ground, was despairing now.
Initially, he expected Kylo to save him, but he didn’t expect that even Kylo could not save himself now.
Some people around him showed pity.
Mark was used to being arrogant, but he finally brought trouble himself this time.
On the other side, the three members of the Barton family looked at each other speechlessly.
Kenia was puzzled and said, “I never expected Mr. Evans to support Leonard, and I don’t know how Leonard established the relationship with him.”
Flora was extremely excited.
“Great, my nephew is succeeded and brings honor to the Santos family.”
But Willie was still in a daze.
In any case, he couldn’t connect Leonard with those superior big shots.
But if Leonard didn’t have a great background, how could Parker with such a high status directly draw a line with the Loftus family and uphold justice for him?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he felt.
“Mr. Barton, congratulations.”
Judy also came over and said sincerely.
To be honest, she was a little envious. Had she known Leonard’s unusual status, she would have been kinder to him.
“You guys are too optimistic.”
At this time, Yule spoke.
“Mr. Patel, what do you mean by that?”
Willie looked up at Yule in astonishment.
“Mr. Barton, I heard that Leonard has just got released from prison, so he probably has no chance to meet so many important people in such a short period.
“He is your nephew, so you know his identity and background best.”
Hearing Yule’s words, Willie nodded and said,
“He and Waylon met in the antique market, which is reasonable, but it is inexplicable that he knew Mr. Evans. However, Mr. Evans indeed supported Leonard and said he would break off relations with the Loftus family just now.
“It’s just a surface.”
Yule said.
“Mr. Evans is the Governor and the highest-ranking person in Newden City. No matter how domineering he is in private, he has a reputation to keep in front of the public.
“If he showed partiality to Mr. Loftus and punished Leonard, you can imagine how others will talk about him after the word gets out.”
Hearing what Yule said, Willie suddenly realized.
Flora and Kenia, who were excited beside them, turned pale instantly.
Willie said, “Mr. Patel, you mean Mr. Evans just sided with Leonard on the surface. In fact, he just did it for others to see?”

Chapter 62
“Yeah, otherwise, why would Waylon propose to deal with this matter in another place? I’m afraid Mr. Evans will change his attitude immediately after they get to the other place, and the Loftus family will not leave the matter at that. Great misfortune would fall upon the Barton family.”
Hearing this, Willie’s face turned pale, and his voice began to tremble, “Well, what should we do?”
Yule sighed, “Go back home and be ready to give up all your property to the Loftus family, which may quell their anger. There is no other way now.”
At the same time, Kylo and his wife followed Waylon and others to the hotel’s top floor.
Clouds Hotel was a well-known building in Newden City. A luxurious restaurant was on the top floor, surrounded by huge floor-to-ceiling gla**. Standing here, people could overlook the entire Newden City.
At the moment, there were no other customers in the restaurant, and Kylo walked in after them.
As soon as he walked through the door, Kylo said, “Mr. Evans, there are no outsiders now, so there is no need to act.”
Emily, who was standing next to him, also looked relaxed. “Yeah, Mr. Evans, you acted so realistically just now that it scared me.”
“Who is playing with you?”
Parker was very serious, and his eyes were full of anger.
Kylo had not figured out the situation until now.
He glanced at the couple coldly, with a bit of disgust in his eyes.
“Kneel and apologize to Mr. Santos.”
Kylo was confused by Parker’s words and stood in disbelief.
Emily beside him also widened her eyes.
“Uhh…”
Kylo wanted to say something, but Parker kicked him on his lower abdomen. “I told you to kneel. Didn’t you understand?”
Parker was furious. A superior who had a life of luxury and privilege like him usually wouldn’t beat someone up.
All of a sudden, Kylo knew that something was really going wrong.
“Mr. Santos is my best friend. Kylo, if you don’t get pardon from Mr. Santos today, you, and also the Loftus family, should brace yourselves for the wroth of the Governor’s Mansion.”
Kylo was really scared when he heard this.
Emily couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Evans, did you make a mistake? Leonard is a prisoner who has just been released from prison. He is just a poor guy who must have lied to you.”
After finishing speaking, she looked at Leonard again.
“Leonard, come on. Admit that you are lying. If Governor finds out the truth in the future, you will die an even more miserable death.”
“Shut up!”
As soon as Emily finished speaking, she was slapped by Parker.
“How dare you be rude to Mr. Santos? You must want to die.”
“Mr. Evans, please calm down. My wife has no malicious intentions.”
Kylo said hastily.
He also didn’t believe how powerful Leonard could be, but it was obvious that Parker had already been confused by
Leonard.
Parker couldn’t listen to what he was saying now, so he could only deal with the situation in front of him first and then slowly investigate.
Wasn’t it ridiculous that Leonard had become Mr. Santos just a few days after being released?
The slap made Emily see stars.
Thinking of the ba stard Leonard showing off his power before her, she felt angry. “Mr. Evans, please distinguish right and wrong. Leonard is indeed a liar.”

“You stu pid jerk. I witnessed that even the Acosta family in Imperial City was destroyed by Mr. Santos. You still dare to sow
discord.” Parker cursed.
