Chapter 1271 - 1270: Will You Still Wear Off-Shoulder, Low-Cut Dresses?
The man was always training, with a slender figure in clothes and muscles when stripped. He pinned Leah against the wall, and even with her agility, she couldn’t move him an inch.
Leah quickly surrendered, feeling like a fish on a chopping board.
Ever since the banquet where he saw her in that dress, the man had imagined pinning her against the wall like this, wanting her recklessly, to see if she’d dare wear such revealing clothes again, seducing him was one thing, but she even dared to wear it outside.
"Still planning to wear off-the-shoulder low-cut dresses in the future, hmm?" The man bit her delicate neck and asked hoarsely and dangerously.
"I look good, can’t even show my collarbone?" Leah gave him a sideways glance, her voice soft and weak, softly protesting.
So the next day Leah indeed couldn’t get out of bed, naturally, she didn’t return to the South Seas.
Meanwhile, this affair stirred up in the Imperial City reached the South Seas in detail.
Griffith Squire noticed Leah hadn’t called or returned, his subordinates reported she stayed at the hotel for three days, and at the Shaw Mansion for one.
This time, Griffith Squire was furious, feeling like his precious cabbage had been eaten by the most detestable pig.
Why didn’t he kill Richard Shaw, that bastard, when he came to the South Seas?
"Miss booked two flights but canceled them both, one due to the young master’s fight and another because of rumors spread by the Winton Family," Cornelius Turner, with little to do lately, could only report on the Imperial City’s affairs.
"The Winton Family?" The man squinted his peach blossom eyes, showing a fierce light, daring to provoke a deity?
"These years, the Winton Family has had a vague upward trend, Family Head Alessandro Winton is a provincial-level cadre, and Winton Family’s Miss Serena Winton always fancied Richard Shaw, causing many false rumors upon seeing Miss Leah, though Richard Shaw quelled them. Richard Shaw also didn’t retaliate against the Winton Family, firstly because simply spreading rumors isn’t serious, and secondly the Shaw Family has been being low-key as if planning something big."
Griffith Squire sneered, what big move could the Shaw Family of orphans and widows make? According to him, Richard Shaw, that bastard, fancied Leah’s beauty and wants to discard old grudges and forcibly take Leah; where can such fortunate things happen?
If Richard Shaw truly cared for Leah, he should first settle the Cox Family’s two lives. Then, Griffith might look more favorably upon him.
"How are the old couple from the Landon Family now?" Griffith Squire squinted and asked. He was still hesitant about moving against the Shaw Family. If he wanted to act against the Shaw Family, reopening old cases, the Landon Family would be a good breakthrough. Firstly, the Shaw Family, due to Leah’s matter, harbored resentment towards the Landon Family. The Landon Family, having lived a life of luxury, has been oppressed for years, living in poverty and distress, surely bears some grievances. Secondly, they had once depended on the Cox Family and received the Cox Family’s care, so having them appeal and reopen the old case was reasonable. Thirdly, the old couple from the Landon Family were mercenary people who would do anything for money, making it the easiest task.
"The Landon Family is living poorly; both Clark and Pearl are lazy and have picked up gambling habits. The household expenses are covered by Clark Landon alone, and Pearl Landon got married early. Her husband owns a small company and indulges outside, making their married life a struggle and very tight financially." Cornelius Turner explained the Landon Family’s situation and asked, "Boss, if we move against the Shaw Family, it might be hard to explain to Miss."
"The grievances should be addressed, but not as Cox Family members, nor targeting the Shaw Family, we’re just reopening the Cox Family’s case." Griffith Squire squinted his eyes and said casually; this was his final concession for Leah and his nephew. They could choose not to act against the Shaw Family but must clear the father’s name. As for the role played by the Shaw Family during the case reopening, it was irrelevant to him.
"Contact the Landon Family, but do not expose your identity." Griffith Squire furrowed his brows and instructed in a low voice.
Cornelius Turner nodded, proceeding to the Landon Family’s ancestral place.
