Chapter 174 - An unwanted visitor

She got informed about it from one of her house help, who saw the news.

She was planning to remain isolated for a while, but Reuben was just too annoying. 

She wasn't the type to switch off her phone, based on the fact that she has loved ones and something might happen. 

She didn't want a situation whereby a big mess occurred because she didn't pick her call. 

The guy had almost frustrated the life out of her. If she blocked his line, he would call with another and didn't stop adding messages in between. 

Asking her to give them a chance to see each other and all. 

She couldn't take it anymore and decided to go and confront Leo for giving Reuben her contact info.

She was shocked when her maid informed her that Leo's residence was attacked and it was fortunate that he wasn't at home that night. 

The media has been trying to probe and requesting an interview with him to find out if he had an issue with anyone that wanted him dead. 

They respected his wish to consult them later after putting together all that were ruined and mourn the loss. 

...

Leo, who had returned back to his usual calm self after getting Mick back and also knowing the woman he loves now loved him back, couldn't bring himself to just kill Jerry.

He was one of the richest CEOs in the country and giving him his own sentence was an easy feat to achieve. 

With that, he got him thrown in prison and requested for him to be treated like they would treat a top criminal. 

The man was now working with hardened criminals that had achieved tight abs from hard labour. 

He was flogged to work harder and not slack off. 

Despite this, the man was cool. It was hard, but the criminals could be manipulated, just like he did with Jimmy and used him. 

Leo just threw him into a gem world. 

They would do anything to taste freedom again and he still has lots of money. He just needed to bribe his way out and get a few of these guys out after. 

And then, he would make sure he put an end to Leo's life once and for all. 

He looked older and tired. His head still bandaged from the torture he received, which could have killed any other person in his place, but the thought of dying and letting that brat claim victory doesn't sit well. 

He needed to survive no matter what and he did. He's nearing a second chance. 

…...

As if stalking Ella, Sharon made sure she joined her in the visit to Leo's mansion and checked up on Mick.

She was shocked when her car crossed her own and since she began pleading with her that even if she and Leo were having a fight, that doesn't mean she shouldn't stop by, when she was so worried about him.

She also mentioned that she wanted to go and console the Lboys on their lost colleagues, since they were familiar with each other before she and Leo broke up.

Ella doesn't take things too far and to be honest, she just doesn't care. Leo is an a.d.u.l.t, he could deal with his love life without her interference. 

What if she helped chase the girl and Leo wasn't planning to let her go completely and later hook up with her? 

He liked Clara, but Tim also liked Clara. 

Who knows who will get the girl. And also, if Clara wasn't sure of her feelings, jealousy could help make her know what she wanted. 

To spice it up, it's also her way of getting her revenge on Leo for giving Reuben her number.

When they arrived at the mansion, Leo doesn't seem to mind her coming, because it was expected of a persistent girl like her. 

They all headed to the main house and Ella asked about Mick's health directly from him. The man replied to her that he was as strong as a bull and they both chuckled. 

Sharon did the same and Mick ignored her question. It was like she didn't exist in the room, but Sharon was calm. 

She came here for Leo, not the annoying old man. 

Refreshments were served, and Ella chatted with Leo casually. 

The atmosphere started to get heavy. Sharon's eyes had been shamelessly following Leo around, since she arrived. 

She finally gets to access his features. She found him kind of more mature and more alluring since they last met at the mall.

To put it simply, she hasn't gotten the chance to look so directly at him in a while. 

Ella was also feeling annoyed as Sharon stuck to her side like they came together, in the same car. 

She just didn't stop the girl, that doesn't mean she drove her here, yet her closeness portrayed another thing. 

Ella stared at Clara who looked unbothered.

Clara was also present in the room but sat a bit far from them.

Leo had no idea why their visit was necessary, since his boys had moved on after two days of mourning. They claimed it's bound to happen as a bodyguard, and most importantly, they got their revenge.

Mick, who could be used as an excuse was perfectly fine, and even refused to get some assistants, claiming he felt more energetic. 

Ella broke the silence. "Since everything is fine now, can I ask why you gave that guy my number?" 

For once, Leo was glad Ella spoke because his mind was with Clara who was sitting a bit far from them with the little princess in her arm.

He was worried Sharon stare might cause some misunderstanding. 

"Oh! I gave him your home address as well." Leo said nonchalantly. 

"What! Are you crazy?" Ella growled.

The little princess finds Clara odd. Even though she was sitting with her, she could tell that her mind was with Leo and the others. 

"Mommy, are you okay?" She asked Clara.
