"Are you kidding?’ Olivia was shocked.
‘How could it be him?’ She looked at Leonard in disbelief.
Olivia frowned.The disgust between her eyebrows were obvious.
"Since your father is fine, I'll leave now.Goodbye’ Leonard glanced at Olivia, nodded at the couple, and then turned around to leave.
Master Langston grabbed the man’s arm and said.
"Young man, don't leave in such a hurry!"
As he stood still, Master Langston turned to his family and said.
"It's all thanks to this guy that I'm fine today.This child happened to be passing by.When he saw our car flip into the river, he immediately called for help.It was only when we finally got ashore that he realized it was me!"
Olivia paid attention and was left in awe as her father told a riveting story in just a few words.
Just the thought of it scared both Olivia and her mom.
While it's true that the Clements disliked Leonard before, but because of what happened, they had abandoned all their previous dissatisfaction.
The couple was extremely grateful for the young man.
"Thank you, Leonard.I'm lucky you were there.Fortunately, I'm fine.I really didn't know what to do"
Madam Enya wiped her tears and bowed gratefully to him.
Leonard politely responded.
"Auntie, it's not a big deal.Even if it was someone else, I would still try to save them.I just didn't expect that it would be uncle who was in danger.'' Madam Enya nodded.
It was a pity that such a kind person, even if he was essentially her son-in-law, would not be able to be her official son-in-law.
After repeated requests, the couple arranged the guest room so Leonard could take a bath and change his clothes.
He had gone into the water to save Master Langston, so his entire body was soaked.
They couldn't let him leave in that state.
That would make their family seem ungrateful.
The news of Master Langston being rescued quickly spread in the city.
Maggie, who was at the hospital, heard about the news.
She was getting her wounds checked.
When she heard the news, she avoided others and hid in the bathroom to call Donald.
She scolded him.
"We had an agreement and I've negotiated well with you.The weather is obviously favorable.You can't even accomplish this.What kind of a father are you?" Maggie was furious.
Yesterday, Olivia hadn't returned home.
This was good news for Maggie.
After all, Madam Enya was the only one in the family who she could deceive.
She sneaked out of her room in the middle of the night and sneakily destroyed the brakes of Master Langston's car.
At the same time, she asked the driver to take the highway after they passed the traffic, so that he would need to use the brake once he started driving at a higher speed.
As soon as they realized that the brakes were broken and as the car went out of control, Master Langston told his driver to swerve to an empty lot where there were no people.
As Maggie had expected, everything worked out according to plan.
Master Langston’s car fell into the river.
However, what she did not realize was that Leonard could be passing by that same river.
He immediately called for help and rescued Master Langston.
It was indeed a seamless plan.
After she scolded him, Maggie still couldn't calm down.
"Do you know how much risk I took? If their family suspects me, it's all over!"
Donald stomped his foot in frustration.
"But I didn't know that Leonard was going to be there.If it wasn't for him, it would've been successful"
"Alright, alright.We're here now.There's no point arguing about it."
Maggie hung up irritably.
She looked at herself in the mirror and then at her backpack.
She remembered the medicine Madam Sophie gave her.
This medicine will determine whether or not she can successfully become Mrs.Tubman.
The plot to murder Master Langston had failed.
Next time, she will make sure that she does not fail.
