The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky novel Chapter 4

Leon gained unlimited power after coming back to life, and although he could not master it right away, it was more than enough to deal with those two thugs. The remaining person was stupefied when he saw what happened, and Leon seized the opportunity to grab him before tumbling down into the water.

Iris saw the whole thing and wondered if they were going to die together.

A conflicted expression appeared on her face. The man might be annoying, yet he was willing to sacrifice his life to save her even though their encounter that day was only by sheer chance.

Iris’s legs were already weak at that point, and she had to crawl to reach the water’s edge. Her emotions were a complete mess because she was unsure whether or not she wanted Leon to resurface. He might have saved her, but her chaste body was touched and seen by him, not to mention the fact that he practically kissed her during the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Iris bit her lip and waited, but he showed no signs of resurfacing. She wondered whether he died or survived and was unsure of his fate.

Tears unconsciously welled up in her eyes and nothing she did was able to stop them from coming…

Moments later, she heard the sound of a car horn. The Youngs’ bodyguards already commenced their search for her.

She wore Leon’s clothes and continued to wait. Once she confirmed that Leon did not come out of the water, she said gently to the river, “My name is Iris Young. Come and see me sometime…”

Iris turned around and left but she did not know that Leon heard everything she said from underwater.

‘Iris… What a beautiful name!’

After returning home, Iris seemed to have lost her mind as she ordered the group of bodyguards to go dive into the river and find Leon. In the end, however, no trace of him was found.

All they knew was that his name was Leon Wolf, famously known as the son-in-law who lived like a dog with his wife’s family.

One of the bodyguards also found his ID card, which was said to have been discovered at a recycling center.

Something just seemed off about the whole situation.

…

Marilyn and Helen both waited outside the Civil Records Office.

From time to time, Marilyn raised her wrist to check the time on her watch. Her anger only increased with each passing minute.

She already agreed with Leon to get their divorce finalized that morning, but it was almost noon and Leon was still nowhere to be seen.

Furthermore, Leon did not return home the entire night, and his cell was unreachable when she tried to do so earlier. She had no idea where he went and had no means of contacting him at all.

As Marilyn’s impatience grew, Leon showed up at last. He was almost out of breath as he ran over from some distance away.

His clothes were torn, and he looked like the epitome of embarrassment!

After Leon bullied Iris, he came to discover that Iris was the daughter of an influential family. As a result, he did not dare to resurface from the water and decided to lurk underwater instead. After Iris presumed him dead and spoke to the river, Leon could still sense that there were bodyguards searching the area. He thus decided to swim along the current and go downstream, but later fainted in the water because of everything he went through that night.

By the time he woke up, it was already around nine in the morning.

He immediately remembered his divorce from Marilyn, which prompted him to rush over because he wanted to free himself from her as soon as possible.

Marilyn, however, ran up to him and raised her hand to give Leon a resounding slap.

“Where the hell did you go last night, you worthless piece of trash! Didn’t I tell you last night that we’re getting divorced this morning? It’s almost noon now! You’re wasting so much of my time!” Marilyn lambasted.

“I was busy last night…”

Leon covered his face. How he wished he could slap her back if only he had the guts to do it! In the end, all he could do was grit his teeth and endure the humiliation.

“What can a useless b*stard like you possibly be busy with? Did you go out and sleep with someone else because you were angry with what happened last night?”

Helen walked over with a strange look on her face.
