Only you in my love novel Chapter 790

Hearing Leon expose her gave Randi mixed feelings and a guilty conscience. Because of that, she could only lower her gaze in response.

Emma became indignant. "The eighteenth floor? You let her walk up eighteen floors?"

Even as a child, Mimi had been a delicate girl with no inclination for sports. Walking up five floors made her out of breath, and her legs would ache for half a day.

How did she manage to climb eighteen floors?

She couldn't imagine it. Emma turned to Michelle and asked, "You really did that?"

"Yeah." Michelle blinked. "The elevator didn't work so I had to take the stairs."

"The elevator didn't work?" This time, James was suspicious. Since Leon had taken it upon himself to scold Randi, things couldn't be that simple.

When he looked at Randi, the girl was so nervous that her hands trembled.

He realized that she must have done that on purpose.

"Mimi, did you personally see that the elevator didn't work or did someone just tell you that?"

Upon hearing James' words, Randi broke out into a cold sweat.

"So there wasn't anything wrong with elevator?" Michelle asked, finally picking up on what the man had been trying to hint at.

"No, there wasn't. I checked the surveillance video," Leon told her.

Michelle was stunned. Why would Randi lie to her?

Climbing all those steps nearly killed her!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt. "We didn't know each other then. Randi, did I do something to offend you?"

Before now, Randi had no intentions of fighting back. Convinced that she was doing what was right, she gathered her courage.

She declared, "You didn't do anything to me, but I despise you because you have an affair with another woman's fiance. You hussy!"

"Who? What fiance? Who did Mimi have an affair with?" James scowled. "Explain yourself. You're not allowed to leave until you clear this all up."

Randi gritted her teeth and pointed at Leon. "He's Valerie's fiance, isn't he? Valerie's in emotional pain because Michelle's having an affair with him."

Leon was unsurprised by this revelation. He had had a feeling that it had something to do with Valerie.

He said nothing in reply.

"Are you trying to tell me that my uncle is Valerie's fiance?" James sneered. "And that Mimi is having an affair with him?"

"Uncle?" Randi's righteous expression turned into one of surprise.

Leon was James' uncle?

And if James was Michelle's cousin-in-law, she should be calling Leon her uncle as well.

Besides, rumors made Leon seem like an escort. Valerie had chosen him to be her husband because he was handsome.

What did that have to do with the Shi family?

Randi became confused by their complicated relationship.

Out of the blue, Emma advised, "Don't preach before you have all your facts straight or else you will look like an ignorant fool."

James added, "Mimi and Uncle Leon have an innocent relationship."

Michelle felt a stab a guilt and promptly dropped her gaze.

Her relationship with Leon wasn't exactly as innocent as James thought.

She snuck a glance at Leon and was surprised to see him looking back at her. He smirked, and his amber eyes glittered playfully.

It was a seductive look, and they both knew it.

Michelle choked on air and coughed to hide her embarrassment.

If they kept making eye contact, she would have difficulty holding herself back.

She really liked being in Leon's embrace now. His arms were strong and warm, making her feel as if she could lean in them all the time.

Leon's smirk grew.

He found it amusing to tease her even without words or touch.
