The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 33

Lily trembled uncontrollably, for she knew that Joseph held a high position in the company. Even if she told the truth, the most Ariel could do to Joseph was reprimand him, and it was not like any severe action would be taken against him.

Things would only go south from then on because Joseph would almost certainly exercise his authority to fire her!

Lily began to hesitate when she thought about her sick mother on the hospital bed, her younger brother’s tuition fees, and the high hopes all her relatives placed on her.

“Go on. Tell me,” Ariel urged.

“I… Mister Conrad and I were just discussing work in the office. He didn’t do anything inappropriate…” It was challenging for Lily to say that. She lowered her head the entire time and did not dare to look at Leon.

Despite her eternal gratitude to Leon for saving her, the burden of being fired was too heavy a consequence for her to bear. There was nothing else she could do other than apologize to Leon in her heart.

“Huh?”

Her statement was like a bolt from the blue for Leon and his smile instantly disappeared.

He could never imagine that Lily would be the one to dismiss his kind gesture even though he risked it all just to save her!

“You heard that, didn’t you, Miss Summers? He’s making wild accusations against me!”

Joseph smiled smugly.

“This was all your doing then, Leon! Iri- Ahem, the company has rules and regulations that you must comply with. It’s not a place where you can just do whatever you want!” Ariel chided.

Iris just reminded Leon to do his job well, yet it took him no time to rely on Iris’s backing to oppress other people!

‘We can’t just let this go on. If worse comes to worst and he gets fired, I’ll just take him in and raise him myself,’ Ariel thought.

“That’s not what happened, Miss Summers. Please let me expl-“Leon glanced angrily at Lily and felt a sour twinge in his heart.

What Lily gave him that day was a very vivid lesson that forced him to realize the cruel reality of society!

She knew that Leon was Iris’s savior, so even if it was all Leon’s fault, Iris would never fire him, much less agree to

hand him over to the police!

Besides, Leon was not all to blame for what happened, because Joseph indisputably instructed the security

guards to beat Leon up.

Leon only wounded them out of self-defense.

With the situation coming to a head, both parties were equally responsible.

Ariel wanted to mediate the situation to downplay the whole issue and resolve it quickly.

By then, Ariel gradually calmed down and stopped acting on impulse.
