He walked over to Iris and tugged her arm while whispering, “Forget about her, Iris. I’m used to this treatment anyway…”
Iris felt an ache in her heart. She could feel the bitterness and helplessness in Leon’s words, along with a subtle hint of his inferiority complex.
“Miss Young, this is entirely Cheryl’s fault. I’ll discipline her in due time. Please give her another chance to learn from her mistakes,” Wendell pleaded sincerely.
His hatred toward Cheryl started to manifest. He needed to make sure that Cheryl did not continue acting like that in the future. She might have been let off the hook on that occasion, but allowing her to continue with her shenanigans would eventually spell doom for him too!
“Get up! Since my friend has elected to forgive you, I will agree to give you one more chance. I hope you’ll learn to shape up in the future!” Iris snorted coldly.
She was capable of forgiving when the situation called for it.
After all, she never liked using her identity to oppress others, and she did not want to argue with some insignificant people.
“Thank you, Miss Young. Thank you, Sir…”
Cheryl was finally brave enough to stand up, for she felt as if she was just granted a pardon. However, the clothes on her back were already soaked in cold sweat.
Many of the guests there were alarmed.
When they found out that the noble and beautiful woman in front of them was Iris, they all had a look of surprise as their eyes glowed with a fiery light.
Many of them secretly took out their cell phones to snap some pictures, as they hoped to get Iris’s beautiful appearance on camera.
“Let’s go, Leon…”
Iris quickly realized that something was wrong and immediately pulled Leon out of the hotel.
Hotels were tricky places because it was somewhat inappropriate to book a room there with Leon. It would only be detrimental for both of them should any misunderstanding or rumor begin to circulate.
It went without saying that she had a clear conscience and therefore had nothing to fear, but many of her suitors were children of the rich and powerful.
A misunderstanding involving such issues would easily cause unnecessary trouble to Leon.
