Chapter 290 You’re Not Worthy of This Marriage
Leonard was astonished, and the cigarette in his mouth dropped.
Bella, standing around the corner, was similarly stunned. She had merely taken Lia for a stroll and hadn’t anticipated overhearing Leonard and Yelena’s conversation. Before she could react, Lia had already charged ahead.
Yelena was caught off guard and knocked to the ground. She held her face in a daze before standing up and glaring furiously at Lia. “Who the hell do you think you are? Do you know who I am?”
The tense atmosphere was abruptly broken by the ridiculousness of the situation as blood began to drip from Yelena’s nose. Her face flushed from embarrassment. Lia’s slap had destroyed her pride.
Liascotted. “I don’t care who you are. You’re just another example of someone with an undeveloped brain. You must not have had a proper education when you were young, which explains why you’re so stupid.
“Who do you think you are to spit nonsense like that? How dare you insult someone from the Sawyer family on their turt? Should I reward you for your stupidity?” Her rapid–fire insults flowed seamlessly, leaving everyone around speechless.
Yelena was at a loss for words and tumed her glare to Leonard. “Are you just going to stand there and let her talk bad about me? I’ll tell my dad about this, and we’ll never do business with the Sawyer family again!”
Leonard cleared his throat and said, “Well, you can do whatever you want. But perhaps you’ve got things mixed up. In Joville, the Miller family is ranked first, followed by the Sawyer family, while your family is ranked tenth.
“Technically, you’re not worthy of this marriage. And for the record, if I hadn’t had a rule against hitting women, I would’ve slapped you”
As he finished speaking, a frigid smile appeared on his lips. He casually lit another cigarette, the flickering light adding a menacing glitter to his gorgeous eyes, emitting a sense of mischief and threat.
Yelena stood frozen for a moment before grasping her face and fleeing as if she had just had the most humiliating experience of her life.
Leonard turned to Lia and Bella, “I’ll deal with this matter. You two do whatever you want.”
Lia realized she might’ve caused trouble but didn’t feel she had done anything wrong.
Once he had walked away, she hesitantly approached Bella and suggested, “should we follow him? After all, I’m the one who hit her, I hit her because she deserves it. She deliberately said that to hurt Leonard.”
Upon hearing her words, Bella sighed. “Let’s go, but we can’t get invo

“But you need to control yourself and choose your fights carefully. The elite circle is way more complicated than you think.”
The two followed Leonard into the main hall, anticipating Yelena would cause trouble behind closed doors. To their surprise, she was crying and complaining in front of everyone.
Yelena’s parents were furious when they saw their daughter in such a situation. Justin Klein’s expression hardened as he stared at Leonard and questioned, “What happened? My daughter had just left with you for a moment, and someone hit her? who did it?”
Daniel and Diane were likewise astonished, knowing their son would never do such a thing.
Diane regained her composure and handed Yelena a handkerchief. “Wipe your face. I’ll have someone bring you an ice pack Leonard, what’s going on here?” Leonard, completely unfazed, responded casually, “Let her explain.”
Yelena instantly shot him a vicious glare but hesitated. She couldn’t bring herself to repeat the harsh things she had said to him in front of his parents.
