The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 34

“I’ve made it very clear that I won’t accept it! Are you deliberately trying to protect this kid, Miss Summers?” Joseph’s expression sank. He insisted on handing Leon over to the police because that was the only way he could douse the burning flames of anger in his heart!

Ariel was irritated by Joseph’s unrelenting insistence. Mister Conrad, I’ve repeatedly discussed this with you in an amicable manner and treated you with the utmost respect and dignity. Please don’t cross the line!”

“Leon is Iri- I mean, my friend! The point is, this matter is now behind us regardless of whether or not you agree!”

Ariel was a little annoyed, more so because it was that time of the month. As a result, she could care less about whether or not it would cause an uproar.

Sure enough, her remark carried a different meaning when everyone else heard it.

“I

The onlookers began to gossip as soon as Ariel said that.

“I get it now!”

זיי

guess it’s no surprise then that this kid was brave enough to challenge Mister Conrad. Who would’ve thought that he was one of Miss Summers’s people!”

“Time to get the popcorn out!”

Everyone was taken aback by what they heard and started chatting with each other the next second. No one

expected Leon to be good at fighting, much less have a strong backer like Ariel!

The situation became even more complicated as a result.

“Bravo, Ariel! I see that you’re trying to use your

authority to put me down! You might be the president’s assistant, but I’m not some pushover that you can just mess with! You and I are equals, and you can’t be more delusional if you think you have any control over me!”

Joseph was furious. Though his authority was indeed inferior to Ariel’s, his status was at least on par with hers.

Other people might be afraid of Ariel, but not him!

“Are you done with your nonsense? Let this be my warning to you, Joseph: my patience is limited, so don’t push your luck any further!” Ariel shot back icily.

“Don’t try and scare me, Ariel. I don’t buy any of your threats! I know that you and the president are close. You don’t need to hide it! She’s the kind to know right from wrong, and she always draws a clear boundary when it comes to matters of personal and professional nature! This kid right here has seriously violated the company’s rules and regulations, and if you insist on covering for him, then don’t blame me for reporting your abuse of

power to her! When she eventually decides that you are at fault, I guarantee that you’ll be the one to bear the

consequences!” Joseph sneered and laced his words with threats.

“Ungrateful, much! If you think you’ve got what it takes, you’re more than welcome to report this incident to her. But allow me to remind you that there’s nothing in it for you if this incident rattles the president!” Ariel sneered.

“You brought this upon yourself! I don’t believe everything you said, and I’m quite certain that the president won’t be as fond of this kid as you are!” Joseph laughed despite his anger.

While he acknowledged that he was no match for Ariel, he knew that he would not gain a firm footing in the

company if he could not deal with a pesky colleague like Ariel!

“Suit yourself, birdbrain! Let’s go, Leon!” Ariel snorted coldly, turned around, and brought Leon away without looking back.

“You’ve all seen how Ariel abused her power to cover up for that, right? You’re all witnesses, so come with me to see the president!”

Joseph rallied everyone to join him as he charged angrily into the president’s office.

He knew very well that Ariel’s behavior made her liable to be suspected of abusing her power. Iris would never

protect Ariel when it came to matters of justice and integrity, and certainly not an insignificant little pest like Leon!

Inside the president’s office, Iris sat at her desk with some work.

Leon, Joseph, and the rest of the people rushed over one after another.

Iris was startled to see Leon’s disheveled look and injured hand. She got up and walked over to him. “What

happened to you, Leon?”

“Miss Young, Leon has committed grave acts of

insubordination, even going so far as to injure me and several of our security guards. You have to do something…

Joseph did not wait for Leon to answer and played the victim while giving a brief explanation of what happened.

“Is that true, Leon?” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Iris’s delicate expression sank and she turned her sharp gaze toward Leon.

She just warned Leon to focus on performing his duties, but in response, he turned the entire president’s department upside down as soon as he reported back!

Who would expect Iris to smile at him after what

happened?
