Chapter 136 A Big Short's Prisoner

• Leonard got out of the taxi on the streets of Newden. He couldn’t help but sigh as he noticed his bicycle was still there, indicating that the quality of people nowadays was much higher. The bike was not lost after being left there for a long time. Of course, publ, bicycles were around, and no one would steal others‘ bikes. When Leonard got on the bike, he received a call from Eileen. “Leonard, come here quickly. Marianna’s mother wants to take her away, and we can’t stop her. Marianna is at my house.” When Leonard came to the Wolff villa, Samuel was not around.
• However, Eileen’s second uncle, Mason, was together with them. After seeing Leonard, he hurriedly greeted him. Mason explained to Leonard, “Marianna came to play with Eileen, but Marianna’s mother and brother came to the door. It is a family matter, and we, the Wolff family, don’t dare to offend the Rodgers family.” “Understood.” Leonard nodded. Jason grabbed Marianna’s arm at that time while Melanie persuaded her earnestly, “Marianna, come back with me. I have come to Newden in person to deal with your matters. If you don’t return with me, you will be a bit willful, and I will be angry.” Marianna shook her head firmly with determination in her eyes. “I won’t go back. If I return, you will force me to marry that bastard Zavier.
• Don’t even think about it.” Eileen, beside them, looked anxious. The mother and daughter were having a tense argument. She was an outsider who couldn’t comment on anything. Melanie continued, “What’s wrong with Zavier? He might have had some gossip in the past, but every heir from a wealthy family has such scandals. It will be fine if he is willing to restrain himself after marriage. Besides, it will be your Grandpa’s seventieth birthday in a few days. He used to dote on you the most. Are you planning to not go back for his birthday?” “It’s true that Grandpa loves me. However, the decision to make me marry Zavier was his idea. It shows that he thinks the family’s interests are still above me, so I will not go back. Mom, don’t waste your time convincing me.”
