Chapter 93
The girls were visibly surprised when they heard Marianna’s introduction.
Just now, they had a**umed Leonard was Marianna’s personal driver or bodyguard.
They didn’t expect him to be Marianna’s boyfriend.
In the crowd, a woman in white boots couldn’t help but frown.
“Marianna, are you kidding? He’s your boyfriend?”
The woman was Kayla Hall. She was a good friend of both Eileen and Marianna.
She knew Marianna well, so she found this hard to believe.
“Of course, it’s true. Do I look like I’m joking?”
Marianna tightened her grip on Leonard’s arm as she said this.
Seeing this, Kayla frowned slightly.
“Marianna, be careful with your behavior. Even if you want a fling, you can’t go overboard.”
“If Zavier finds out, he won’t be happy,”、
she warned Marianna.
Marianna’s face showed some displeasure.
The Zavier Kayla was talking about was Marianna’s fiancé, arranged by her family.
The Olsen family and the Rodgers family were well–matched.
However, Zavier, the Olsen family’s heir, was not a good match. He was a playboy. He had countless rumored girlfriends.
When she heard that her family wanted to marry her off to him, Marianna immediately refused. She even chose to run away from home in protest.
But Zavier was very domineering. He claimed that Marianna was already his woman.
He even claimed that he would break the legs of whoever dared to approach Marianna.
“I don’t like Zavier at all. I have nothing to do with him. Whom I choose as my boyfriend is none of his business,” Marianna said.
Kayla shook her head. “Marianna, I’m saying this for your own good. You know how domineering Zavier is. If Zavier finds out about your boyfriend, your boyfriend might get hurt really bad.”
“Screw Zavier. Let him come if he wants to.”
Leonard was also upset when he heard this. He spoke up loudly.
He then turned around, held Marianna’s face, and kissed her pa**ionately.
“Soft, sweet, nice feel,”
Leonard thought to himself, smacking his lips.
Marianna blushed, lowering her head.
Kayla and others were shocked by Leonard’s bold action.
“Kiddo, you’ve got guts,”
Kayla sneered, “I hope you’re this brave when you face Zavier.”
“Let’s go inside now.”
Eileen stepped in to break the tension.
Leonard also followed them inside.
There were a few other girls and boys in the room.
When they heard that Leonard was Marianna’s boyfriend, they all looked surprised.
When Leonard went to the bathroom, they all burst out.
“Marianna, what’s going on? Where did you find such a boyfriend? Are you trying to stir up trouble?”

Chapter 93
“Yes, Marianna, even if you don’t want to marry Zavier, at least marry someone of equal status. Your family wouldn’t agree to this guy,” they said.
“Marianna, be honest now.” a voice began. “You just want to have some fun, don’t you? You can find a male model or something. They’re usually head over heels. Just make sure you can shake him off when it’s over.”
Marianna’s face turned cold. “Let me make it clear,” she replied. “I genuinely like Leonard. I’m not playing around as you
think.
“I’m the one who pursued him,” she continued. “As for Zavier and the family, I’ll handle it.”
The room fell into silence at Marianna’s words.
It was clear that Marianna was serious this time.
This might stir up trouble.
Could Zavier let Leonard off if he found out?
Could anyone who dared to cheat Zavier have a good outcome?
“You’re fussier than the ones involved,” a voice commented. “Leonard just told us he isn’t afraid of Zavier at all.”
Kayla spoke up with a sarcastic tone.
“Really? Is this guy that brave?”
“He doesn’t know how influential Zavier is,” another added. “He’ll be crying when Zavier shows up.”
“Your boyfriend seems reckless. He dares to act.”
Everyone shook their heads.
“Enough,” Marianna interjected, “He’s my boyfriend. If any of you dare to mock him again, you’ll be crossing me. Don’t blame me for turning against you.”
Marianna’s face was dark as she spoke.
Everyone in the room instantly shut their mouths.
Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Leonard walked out. “Why did everyone stop talking? It was lively just now,” he said with a smile.
He then sat naturally next to Marianna, putting his arm around her waist.
Marianna stiffened for a moment before leaning against Leonard’s chest.
A few men in the room watched, envy flashing in their eyes.
They all desired someone as beautiful as Marianna.
