Chapter 86 A Big Short's Prisoner

• Leonard left the cruise ship at three o’clock in the afternoon and returned to Newden City. He participated in Reg Dewey’s birthday banquet this time because of the medicinal herbs. But these medicinal herbs let him down. Anyway, it was better than nothing. Leonard finally spent 10 million dollars and bought half of the medicinal herbs. Although they were not as good as Millennium Ginseng, they were large in quantity and could maintain Leonard’s usual use. All the way back to Shoal Manor, when he returned to his villa, he saw a black car parking there. When Leonard got out of his car, the door of the black car opened, and a middle-aged man in black got out. The man was obviously waiting for him. Leonard frowned, and he could vaguely see that there was a woman sitting in the back seat of the black car.
• This middle-aged man was a driver or a bodyguard. He walked up to Leonard directly and said, “Madam Rodgers wants to talk to you; please get in the car.” At this moment, the car window was rolled down, revealing a graceful and noble face. She was in her forties, wearing sunglasses, and a strong aura and coldness could be felt from her a few feet away. This kind of pride came from inside, and those who had not been in the top position for a long time could not cultivate such a temperament. Just as Leonard’s gaze was roaming over her, the woman in the car said, “Are you Leonard? I’m Melanie Rodgers, Marianna’s mother. Can I have a word with you in another place? “Don’t worry; I won’t do anything to you. I just want to make some things clear to you.” Leonard frowned slightly. When this woman spoke, her attitude was very blunt, giving others a feeling of domineering, which made Leonard very uncomfortable. But Leonard wanted to know what she would say. So he immediately nodded, “OK.” After the words, he directly opened the rear door of her car and sat in. Seeing this scene, Melanie’s face suddenly turned cold.
• The bodyguard even had anger in his eyes. The rear seats were not for anyone to sit in. “Let’s go.” Melanie instructed the bodyguard. After receiving Leonard’s sign, Rex did not follow behind. The car soon arrived at a coffee shop. When Leonard walked into the box, the woman motioned him to sit down. Then he waited quietly. The waitress beside, wearing a light blue dress, skillfully made the coffee. Melanie pinched a coffee cup with her slender and fair fingers, and her face in the steaming mist was beautiful and queenly. She took a sip of coffee lightly and said straight to the point, “My daughter rejected a family marriage because of you, so I hope you can stay away from her.” Leonard took a sip of coffee, too, then turned the coffee cup in his hand with his fingers and said nothing as if he was thinking about the meaning of her words. Marianna was the girl Leonard rescued last time at the entrance of the bar. Later, she treated Leonard to dinner and had no contact with him since then. Now a middle-aged woman came suddenly, saying that the girl rejected a family marriage for him. To be honest, Leonard felt it was kind of nonsense. “You can afford to live in a villa of Shoal Manor, and you can drive a mega luxury car. To be honest, your status has surpassed most of your peers.
