From Divorced Wife To The Top Heiress novel Chapter 416

Richard’s face shifted when he heard Leon’s voice. He had no clue what went down last night.

But when his daughter got up this morning, her eyes were puffy and red.

He could tell she’d been hurt.

No matter how much he tried to talk sense into her before, she never listened. She always had to crash and burn before she’d finally learn her lesson.

“Come in,” he said coldly.

As Leon walked in, Serena finally got a good look at him. He was lean, but there was something sunny and handsome about him.

He stood tall with a straight back, his features sharp and defined.

When he smiled, it was as if he was bursting with life, confident and almost perfect.

Serena finally understood why Jolie had fallen for this guy.

Just one look, and it was obvious that he was seriously magnetic.

His eyes seemed to have a story to tell. Compared to Chris’s cold and distant demeanor, Leon was definitely more vibrant.

But honestly, the more Serena looked, the more she felt that Chris was the kind of guy who just got better–looking the longer people stared at him.

Leon had caught a glimpse of Serena last night, and even that brief look had left him stunned.

Now, seeing her face–on, he was blown away. He thought, ‘She is breathtakingly beautiful.

Leon couldn’t help but stare, totally lost in the moment.

Serena really didn’t like the way he was staring at her.

She gave Leon a slight nod. She thought, ‘He definitely got something to do with the poisoning.”

The Ellington family wanted to handle this themselves, so Sere kept quiet.

Richard chuckled. “Serena, go grab some breakfast. No, wait, you slept in so late, it’s basically lunchtime now.”

Serena pressed her lips together, giving an embarrassed smile. “Okay!”

She’d stayed up late last night and had a midnight snack, so honestly, she wasn’t even hungry

The group headed toward the dining room.

Leon’s eyes were glued to Serena. He’d never met a woman as gegeous as her in his life

He just couldn’t help himself, and his gaze kept getting pulled bk to her.

Serena calmly took a seat beside Chris, not giving anything away

When Leon saw Chris and Jolie sitting together, he looked annoyed.

Jolie didn’t get up to greet him as she used to.

Chapter 416

Annoyed, Leon took a seat next to Jolie and shot Chris a quick smile, just to say hi.

Leon had no clue about Chris’s real status.

Leon’s social circle never intersected with Chris’s.

Chris was part of the elite crowd, while Leon was still hanging around his college friends.

Leon couldn’t stand Chris because he was just like those domineering CEOs from idol dramas, and he treated Jolie as if she were the most important person in the world.

As a guy, Leon could totally tell Chris was into Jolie.

That was why he’d made that unreasonable demand, telling Jolie to stay away from Chris.

And she actually listened.

“Jolie, did you not sleep well last night? You don’t look so good,” eon asked.

Jolie handed Chris a piece of his favorite steak and said, “No, I slept fine. Someone just disgusted me, so I’m feeling a bit down.

“Hurry up and eat, and don’t get too close. There’s something off about your scent. Did you skip your shower last night?”

Jolie was in a bad mood, and her inner heiress attitude was starting to flare up.

Leon’s face instantly showed his discomfort. He looked downright embarrassed.

He took a quick sniff at his shirt, confused. He thought, ‘There is nothing weird, just a light scent of the perfume Jolie liked.

He’d even gone out of his way to spray on the exact perfume Jolie preferred before coming over.

Chris watched Leon sniff himself and couldn’t help but laugh.

Jolie just rolled her eyes, totally speechless.

Jolie knew exactly what she wanted. Someone who’d be real with her, and someone who’d be her forever person,

Jolie thought, ‘But in a world this big, where do I even find a guy like that?

Turns out, I already had one right next to me!

Last night, Jolie tossed and turned, her mind running in circles.

All these years, Chris had always been there for her, his eyes filled with nothing but gentle affection every time he looked at

her

She realized she’d been taking him for granted, but that was ove now. She wasn’t going to let him down again. Jolie was finally ready to let go of the past and open her heart to what really mattered

Leon tried to steer the conversation away “Jolie, how’s your grapa doing? Is he feeling any better?
