Chapter 69: Chapter 69

Facing Clare Smith's fist, Leo Young did not even move, and his expression was calm.But before Clare Smith's fist could even touch Leo Young, it was grasped tightly by Todd Powell.

He exerted a little force and Clare Smith's tightly clenched bones creaked."Let go! What the hell are you trying to do?" Clare Smith felt like his bones were about to shatter.

A raging fire was ignited in his body, and he roared, "Leo Young, are you tired of living?

Who do you think you are? Do you think you are extraordinary just by being surnamed Young?

Do you believe that I will make you disappear from this world forever?"

Looking at the furious Clare Smith, Leo Young felt like he was an outsider who was watching a play.

He was just watching a play, a farce that had nothing to do with him.

He didn't want to watch anymore.Thus, he looked at Clare Smith coldly, and left.When Clare Smith saw that Leo Young was about to leave,

he became even more anxious.Clare Smith could not help but raise his another fist and smash it towards Todd Powell, but Todd Powell dodged it agilely, and kicked at Clare Smith's abdomen.

Clare Smith was in pain, he could not help but scold loudly, "Leo Young, stop! If you have guts, then fight against me one on one!" "

Huh!" Hearing that, Todd Powell laughed loudly, "Mr. Smith, I advise you to stop here.

If our president Young fights against you, then you might not even be able to live."Clare Smith was still not convinced.

He thought Todd Powell was making fun of him, and he swung his fist at him again. This time, it was the same as before.

He did not touch Todd Powell, but got punched again.The pain from being punched was something that Clare Smith could endure.

What truly hurt him was his self—esteem. He had never been bullied like this because no one dared do it since he came into the world.

And even Leo Young's subordinates did not respect him at all.After a few punches, security officers, which always appeared after incidents, came over.

They said, "Mr. Powell, I'm sorry. We came late."Todd Powell released Clare Smith, turned his head, and asked the security officers,

"how do you do things? Even a tramp without an invitation could be let in! Do you think this place is a place for charity?""Mr. Powell."

"Forget it." Todd Powell waved his hand, "throw him out.""Who dares to touch me? I was invited here by Leo of the Zenith Group.

Who the hell dares to touch me?" Clare Smith was also too angry to completely ignore the attitude of the security officers towards Todd Powell.

He was still thinking to use Leo of the Zenith Group as a shield, but he did not know that the person he had offended was Leo —— the overlord in the business world that he had always wanted to get close.

Todd Powell sneered, "tell Clare Smith it he who wants him to leave.""Mr. Smith, Leo does not welcome you.

Please leave immediately, or else don't blame us for throwing you out." The fight just now had attracted the attention of many people, and now, the security officers were talking extremely loudly.

There were already someone talking and looking at Clare Smith.Clare Smith still did not give up and said, "do you all know who I am? I am Clare Smith,

from the Smith Group in Capital City. If you dare to chase me away, you all would have troubles.""I don't know the so—called Clare Smith in Capital City.

We only know the Leo of the Zenith Group. Mr. Smith, please follow us, or else we won't be polite."

The security guards' words were even more embarrassing than slapping Clare Smith hard.At this moment, he finally realized that he had suffered a huge loss today and lost face as well.

Most importantly, he had even left a bad impression on Leo's mind.In order to continue to work with the Zenith Group,

Clare Smith decided to endure it for a while.Clare Smith was followed by security officers through the hall. The gazes of the people around were all on him, and sounds of ridicule could be heard.

It was as if he was a complete clown tonight.He clenched his fists tightly, a vicious and sinister light was vealed in his eyes. He thought to himself—Barbara Jones, Leo Young, you two did not know what's good for you,

so don't blame me for being ruthless.In the banquet hall, Leo Young stood at the door for a minute before opening it.When Hebe Swift saw him,

she retreated from the room and even closed the door at the same time.Leo Young locked the door and looked at Barbara Jones gloomily."Leo Young,

I…" Barbara Jones wanted to explain, but facing Leo Young's gloomy gaze, she could not say anything.It was as if something was stuck in her throat, but she couldn't say anything when she saw Leo Young. "

Explain. I'm listening." Leo Young waited for a long time, but when he did not hear Barbara Jones's explanation, she could not help but remind her.

What could she say to him?Tell him what happened at home?Let him feel sorry for her?But what could he do if he knew this? Let him seek justice for her?

to the mighty Smith Group?Furthermore, no matter what kind of secret was hidden, she had indeed violated her own promise.

She had promised him that she wouldn't see Clare Smith again, yet she had been caught by Leo Young.Moreover, Clare Smith held her just now.

She should have given him an explanation. She didn't want to tell him the real reason, but she also didn't want to lie to him.After a long while,

time seemed to freeze in the air. Barbara Jones was at a loss and didn't know how to start her explanation.She looked at Leo Young, and saw that there was no longer love in his black eyes. There was only indifference and anger.

For a moment, she wished that she could be immersed in his hugs, no longer caring about the chaotic world.But she didn't, and she couldn't."

I don't …" When she decided to speak, she then stopped. This was because every time when she thought of those past events,

the wound in her heart which had healed painstakingly would be ruth lessly torn again.

Not to mention that the person who had injured her appeared in front of her once again.And her sound was like a horn that broke the tranquility.

Leo Young seemed to be unable to endure the silence any longer. He suddenly stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. His right hand pressing on the back of Barbara Jones's head tightly.

Then he kissed her hard.A strong fear struck Barbara Jones. She pushed, refused, and sobbed.These days, she had thought of different kinds of scenes where they would be together,

but she had never imagined that it would be like this.They shouldn't have hurt each other so coldly. When she was with him,

she felt a sense of security that she had never felt before.She felt happy when she was with him.She had thought that he was the one that she could trust and accompany her for the rest of her life."Leo Young, please stop."

Barbara Jones teared up, and from the depths of her throat came a voice that was filled with despair.Her voice was hoarse and exhausted.

The rough kiss came to an abrupt end. The force that was trapping her suddenly loosened, and she obtained freedom suddenly.Leo Young opened his eyes and looked at her.
