Chapter 325 The Game is on
Dead silence prevailed in the living room immediately and Lydia’s questioning was cold-blooded and
clear.
Tobias, Gabby, Terry and other people all sneered at Leo and even Magnus was jeering.
Lydia clenched her fist and glared at Maisy.
Leo also got quiet when he saw the envelope.
Well, it may seem quite generous with one hundred thousand cash, but all the people knew that Maisy
was humiliating Leo.
Well, the Henderson Family was one of the royal families and how much money can be fitted in this
envelope? Ten thousand or one hundred thousand? This may be a lot of money to normal people, but
to the royal families, one hundred thousand equals a cent.
If this wasn't charity, what was it then? Maisy was just taunting Leo like he was a beggar and Lydia was
fuming at this point.
All the people present were seeing Leo as a laughing stock.
“Leo, auntie Maisy just gave you a big envelope.
Why don’t you take it?”
Terry suddenly shouted and was obviously ridiculing him.
“Aren't you going to appreciate mother Maisy’s favors?”
“It's a time of money.
You can buy many pieces of clothes.”
“Take it!”
Gabby, Elsie and Tobias chimed in and was urging Leo to take the envelope.
“Don't take it!”
Lydia was shaking with anger and turned to Leo with her teeth clenched together.
Though Elena wasn't saying anything, she was gazing at Leo and was obviously afraid that he might
take it.
“What happened? Leo, why don't you take this?”
Maisy was wearing her standard smile and acted considerate, “I can give you more if you want.”
She then wrote a one million check immediately.
“That is enough!”
Lydia cannot hold it back anymore and yelled, “He is my husband. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
You're in no position to humiliate him!”
Maisy looked at Lydia in confusion, “What happened? Lydia.
I’m trying to be welcoming to your husband.”
“Right, Lydia.
What are you so excited about?”
“He married into this family, right? He doesn’t have any power nor money.
Well, this amount of money is enough for him.”
Gabby and Tobias chimed in.
They were either taunting at Leo, playing dumb or looking on them with indifference.
“You...”
Lydia's teeth clenched together and felt terrible to see Leo being humiliated by Maisy.
Then a pair of strong hands held her shaky hands lightly.
She looked up woodenly and met a pair of gentle eyes.
Lydia’s eyes immediately welled up and shook her head lightly.
“Don’t worry about me.
I’m okay.”
Leo soothed her and turned around and took Maisy’s envelope smilingly.
Lydia was taken aback and was really disappointed.
“Thank you, auntie Maisy.”
Maisy nodded and smiled, “Good boy.”
But some of the people just burst into laughers suddenly.
“He really took it! What a beggar.”
Terry caressed his belly and was even crying out of laugher.
“Well, he is only worth of that much.
One hundred thousand? My clothes costs more than that.”
Gabby roared “Lydia, is this the kind of man you like? How cheap.”
Tobias approached Lydia and taunted.
“Leo, I'm really disappointed.”
Angus walked towards Leo and despised, “You don't deserve Miss Henderson!”
Angus then suddenly knocked over Leo’s envelope.
Then all the cashes in the envelope scattered all over the floor, but no one seemed to care.
Leo squatted down silently and put the money back into the envelope one by one.
Maisy’s smile suddenly disappeared and looked down upon Leo.
She turned round and acted like Leo didn’t even exist.
“Why would you take it? Are you short on this amount of money?”
Lydia walked towards Leo and looked disappointed.
She was trying to protect Leo, but he just humiliated himself.
“She is Marie’s mother.
I have to take it.”
Leo wasn't angry and just turned to Lydia’s sad and angry face, “This is the first time I meet here.
I can’t make things difficult for Marie.”
Lydia’s eyes widened and started welling up.
She knew that the reason why Leo took the money was that Maisy was Marie’s mother and Marie
might be in a conundrum.
“But I don't want you to be wronged because of me.”
Lydia choked with tears.
She also knew that Maisy was humiliating Leo out of hatred for her.
She dared not to challenge her, so she just vented her anger towards Leo.
Leo shook his hand, “I’m okay.”
He then glanced at Maisy who was chatting with Angus and became fierce.
Karl then came back in a while.
After he walked in the mansion, the vibe in the living room was less intense and all the people seated.
But Leo didn't get a seat.
Maisy apologized, “I’m sorry, Leo.
We don’t have that many chairs in the home.
You can sit in the sofa.
Is that okay?”
Leo knew what Maisy was scheming and didn’t say anything.
He just sat on the sofa alone with the dishes.
Karl glanced at Leo and remained silent.
Lydia meant to give her seat to Leo, but Elena stopped her, “Be patient.
He is holding is back.
he must be up to something.”
Lydia paused, “What do you mean?”
Elena didn’t say anything and just examined at Leo, “Well, don’t you know him after so many time
together?”
Lydia thought for a while and shook her head, “No.”
“Exactly!”
Elena sneered, “Well, you don’t even know what he is thinking about.
Do you think that Maisy can read into him?”
Lydia‘s heart skipped a beat, “You mean that...”
“To me, he is like an animal.”
Elena then slowly added, “A wolf.”
“Well, if a wolf ever comes back, he isn’t here to show his appreciation but to revenge!”
At the drop of her sound, Leo suddenly stood up and approached Maisy, “Auntie Maisy, I felt weird that
you gave me so much money since we just met.
Let me give you a present then.”Elena’s eyes squinted and said, “The game is on."
