Chapter 417

Richard immediately looked at Jolie nervously, hoping she wouldn’t accidentally spill the beans.

Leon was the only one who knew about the poisoning last night

Then, he heard Jolie snap in anger, “Last night, that bastard poisoned my grandpa’s wine. My grandpa’s already been sent overseas for treatment. Once I find out who did it, I’ll make sure to curse their whole family.

“I’ll ask if the Ellington family ever did anything to deserve this. Why would someone poison an old man? People like that deserve to have their bloodline wiped out.

“All I can do is wish them an early trip to the afterlife.

“Leon, what do you think?”

Jolie arched her brow at Leon, grinning slyly.

Leon felt a little uneasy as he muttered, “Maybe.”

“Ugh! Why do you still smell weird? Go freshen up and come back,” Jolie said, scrunching her nose in annoyance. She definitely didn’t want to eat with him right now.

Leon paused, the irritation in his eyes growing. He was pretty sensitive, and he could tell Jolie’s attitude wasn’t quite the same as before.

‘Is this because of Chris?‘ Leon thought.

Leon smiled indulgently, his gaze soft, “Alright. I’ll go change and be back for breakfast with you.”

Jolie nodded, totally deadpan. “Go on.”

‘Honestly, the smell of a jerk is just revolting,‘ Jolie thought.

There was no way she was having breakfast with him.

“Chris, here’s your favorite marbled steak and some egg rolls. Make sure you eat plenty. Looks like you’ve lost weight since I last saw you,” Jolie said.

He glanced at Chris’s gentle, handsome face, then at the bright sile on Jolie’s lips. That old insecurity flared up inside him. Right now, Jolie felt like she was on another level, totally out of s league.

Leon left awkwardly, his face stormy. He thought, ‘Chris hadn’t come to Christmas in ages, so why show up now?

He still remembered how Jolie’s big eyes would light up whenever she mentioned Chris.

Leon thought, Jolie might have been attracted to my looks, but he one she truly loved was Chris

“We’d been together for four years, but Jolie never even wanted kiss me. I knew there was never going to be a happy ending for us.

I can’t afford to lose Jolie. There’s no going back for me now‘ Hegazed at the snowy world outside.

He was determined to marry Jolie, become the Ellington family son–in–law, and shoot straight to the top in an instant

He gave himself a quick sniff, just a light scent of perfume, nothing else.

Still, he went back to his bedroom in the Ellington manor and changed into a fresh outfit.

By the time he got back, Jolie and Chris had already finished breakfast.

Jolie and Chris were gone.

Only Serena and Richard were left in the dining room, discussing business.

Breakfast was already cleared away.

Leon turned to the servant and said, “Hey, could you fix me som breakfast? I haven’t eaten yet.”

The servant shot Richard a look.

Leon’s eyes flashed with disappointment. He thought, ‘These servants never gave me any respect.‘
