“That mysterious person has good insight and knows to invest in you,” Isabella snorted coldly, then asked, “By the way, who is that person? Did he mention what he wants in return?”
Leo furrowed his brow and replied, “I don’t know who that person is, either, and as for the reward, he didn’t mention anything specific, probably some money and such. I guess he will reveal himself once I inherit the Landor family. At that time, I can just give him some money.”
Isabella nodded in agreement and eagerly asked, “So what do we do next?”
They had already returned to Coraland, which was the first step.
Leo said confidently, “Now that we have returned to Coraland, we have completed the first step, which is also the most important step. Next, I will go find Grandpa and Mom. Ben is so unfilial that he wants to end the Landor family lineage. Grandpa must regret driving me out of the Landor family now. I bet he will cry and beg me to return to the family as soon as he sees me. Once I am back, we can consider the second step completed.”
Isabella nodded repeatedly and couldn’t help but ask, “How do we meet Grandpa then? The Smith family has announced their disownment of me, and Ben will definitely notice something.
Ben might realize that they had returned to Coraland.
With just a few words, Ben could prevent them from ever seeing Charlie.
You can rest assured about that. That person said he has already arranged everything for us,” Leo said confidently.
That person must have extraordinary abilities to have sent them back to Coraland, which reassured Isabella.
side the room, Penny stared at the computer screen, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

together?
“We haven’t gone shopping together for a long time. Just accompany me, okay?”
Penny coaxed, and Susan couldn’t resist and agreed.
Penny hung up the phone deadpan.
Everything was ready.
Tomorrow, the show would officially begin.
The next day, Leo and Isabella briefly disguised themselves and left early in the morning.
The mysterious person had instructed them to wait in the lobby of Tarniko Mall at ten in the morning and said they would meet the person they wanted to see there.
Leo thought, Will it be Grandpa?‘
Leo couldn’t help but speculate, his heart filled with hope.
They arrived early, well before ten.
They sat in a corner booth of the lobby, feeling like thieves.
isabella whispered, “Is that person really so powerful? How could he know Grandpa’s whereabouts? What if it’s all a lie?”
Leo was also nervous, but he said, “What benefit would there be in deceiving us? We will find out soon enough.”
sabella nodded.

With that, Leo stood up abruptly and walked straight to Susan.

“Penny, it’s taking so long for you to go to the bathroom.” Susan glanced at her watch, feeling a little strange.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her. Susan raised her head in surprise and saw someone unexpected.
Leo had disguised himself today and even wore sunglasses.
a glo
However, Susan still recognized him at a glance.
“Leo?” Susan frowned.
She didn’t expect to see Leo here.
“Susan, I didn’t expect you to still remember me,” Leo said with a strange tone..
Susan ignored him and noticed Isabella next to Leo, her brows furrowing deeper.
She thought, ‘How did these two come back? I remembered that Ben had said he would never let them return to the country
In this lifetime.”
“What’s wrong? Disappointed to see us back?” Leo said with a smile.
Susan looked at him expressionlessly and turned to leave.
She didn’t need to get entangled with this couple in such a place.
“You want to leave as soon as you see me, Susan. Are you feeling guilty?” Leo suddenly shouted.
Susan didn’t even stop for a moment and walked straight out.
A hint of anger appeared on Leo’s face.
He thought, “How dare this Susan be so disrespectful towards me. I will make her beg for mercy once I inherit the Landor family and kick her out of the house. But that’s a matter for the future. Right now, I can’t let Susan leave like this.

Leo’s voice grew even louder. “Esteemed wife of the richest man, are you so afraid to face me?”
His voice was loud, especially when he said “richest man’s wife“.
The hall was already bustling with people coming and going.
Leo’s shout attracted the attention of many people.
The bodyguards who were secretly following Susan discreetly protected her and looked at Leo with vigilance.
Leo was not panicked at all. He shouted loudly, “As expected of the richest man’s wife, even going out creates such a scene. But the bigger the scene, does it prove that you’ve done something wrong?”

Curious gazes multiplied.
Susan frowned. “What are you trying to do?”
“What am I trying to do?” Leo shouted, “My brother suppressed me, misunderstood me, and drove me away. I accepted all of that because we are brothers, and we share the same blood, so no matter what he does to me, I can forgive him! If he doesn’t want to see me, I can even stay in Riowert forever, never returning to the country! But now, I have to come back. If I don’t come back, the entire Landor family will be destroyed.”
Leo wished for more people to know about this. He spoke loudly, almost attracting all the attention.
“What is this person saying?”
“The richest man’s wife? Isn’t the richest man Ben?”
“Who else could it be? Since Ben became the richest man five years ago, he hasn’t fallen from that position.”
“The richest man’s wife? Isn’t that Susan?”
“That’s right. That man is Ben’s younger brother, Leo. Mr. Landor cut ties with him publicly, and since then, he disappeared.”
“Now it seems like there’s more to this matter.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. In wealthy families, there are always hidden secrets.”
As the crowd discussed, they took out their phones and eagerly aimed them at Leo and Susan.
They loved the drama of wealthy families.
If they could ride on the popularity and gain some attention, that would be even better.
With so many people watching, Leo became even more arrogant, and his voice grew louder. “Susan, if you have any conscience left, you should proactively divorce my brother and stay away from him forever.”
Susan looked at the growing crowd, feeling annoyed.
She couldn’t help but say in a cold voice, “Leo, I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“Don’t know? Stop pretending!” Leo said without hesitation, “I already know. The doctor said that due to excessive blood
oss, your body has been damaged to the core. It will be extremely difficult for you to conceive in the future. In other words, you, Susan, are now an infertile hen! By clinging to my brother, you are condemning the Landor family to extinction. Susan, you are the eternal sinner of our Landor family.”
f it weren’t for the bodyguards, Leo would have loved to poke Susan’s nose with his fingers.
Susan listened, even more bewildered. She couldn’t help but say, “Leo, have you gone mad?”
“Are you still pretending?” Leo sneered and handed her a test report, saying, “Isn’t this your medical report? It clearly states chat you can’t conceive.”

The bodyguard instinctively intercepted the report.
But Leo was not flustered. He took out a bunch more and, along with Isabella, distributed them like handing out flyers, saying. “These are Susan’s medical reports. Everyone take a good look. This woman is almost impossible to conceive in her lifetime. Yet she clings to the position of Ben’s wife and refuses to let go. She takes advantage of my brother’s love for her and constantly stirs up trouble between my brother and grandfather. My poor Grandpa, at his age, just wants to hold great–grandchild. What’s wrong with that? But he keeps getting angered by this poisonous woman over and over again! Let’s discuss. Is this woman malicious? Is she selfish?”
Leo passionately recounted the story.
Susan ignored him, but she took the report and looked at it herself.
Then, her brows slightly furrowed.
A faint uneasiness rose in her heart.
She thought, 1… can’t conceive? If that were true, it should have been discovered long ago. But Ben has never mentioned this to me. And Grandpa? Does he know, too? Then why hasn’t he said anything?”
Susan couldn’t help but feel panic.
“Mrs. Landor, don’t believe these. Most likely, they are fake,” one bodyguard couldn’t help but say.
Susan shook her head, her expression somewhat dazed.
She wasn’t a foolish person. On the contrary, she had always been sharp–witted.
If this report didn’t have some degree of truth, how could Leo dare to come back to the country? How could he be so confident?
In this report, let alone anything else, the fact that it was difficult for her to conceive had an 80% chance of being true.
Susan faltered for a moment, then forced herself to calm down.
hile. Leo and Isabella continued to accuse.
Meanwhile, Leo
Susan took a deep look at the two of them, then decisively left.
No matter what, she had to confirm this matter.
