Only you in my love

Chapter 790 You Are Ignorant

Hearing Leon expose her gave Randi mixed feelings and a guilty conscience. Because of that, she

could only lower her gaze in response.

Emma became indignant. "The eighteenth floor? You let her walk up eighteen floors?"

Even as a child, Mimi had been a delicate girl with no inclination for sports. Walking up five floors made

her out of breath, and her legs would ache for half a day.

How did she manage to climb eighteen floors?

She couldn't imagine it. Emma turned to Michelle and asked, "You really did that?"

"Yeah." Michelle blinked. "The elevator didn't work so I had to take the stairs."

"The elevator didn't work?" This time, James was suspicious. Since Leon had taken it upon himself to

scold Randi, things couldn't be that simple.

When he looked at Randi, the girl was so nervous that her hands trembled.

He realized that she must have done that on purpose.

"Mimi, did you personally see that the elevator didn't work or did someone just tell you that?"

Upon hearing James' words, Randi broke out into a cold sweat. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"So there wasn't anything wrong with elevator?" Michelle asked, finally picking up on what the man had

been trying to hint at.

"No, there wasn't. I checked the surveillance video," Leon told her.

Michelle was stunned. Why would Randi lie to her?

Climbing all those steps nearly killed her!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt. "We didn't know each other then. Randi, did I do

something to offend you?"

Before now, Randi had no intentions of fighting back. Convinced that she was doing what was right,

she gathered her courage.

She declared, "You didn't do anything to me, but I despise you because you have an affair with another

woman's fiance. You hussy!"

"Who? What fiance? Who did Mimi have an affair with?" James scowled. "Explain yourself. You're not

allowed to leave until you clear this all up."

Randi gritted her teeth and pointed at Leon. "He's Valerie's fiance, isn't he? Valerie's in emotional pain

because Michelle's having an affair with him."

Leon was unsurprised by this revelation. He had had a feeling that it had something to do with Valerie.

He said nothing in reply.

"Are you trying to tell me that my uncle is Valerie's fiance?" James sneered. "And that Mimi is having

an affair with him?"

"Uncle?" Randi's righteous expression turned into one of surprise.

Leon was James' uncle?

And if James was Michelle's cousin-in-law, she should be calling Leon her uncle as well.

Besides, rumors made Leon seem like an escort. Valerie had chosen him to be her husband because

he was handsome.

What did that have to do with the Shi family?

Randi became confused by their complicated relationship.

Out of the blue, Emma advised, "Don't preach before you have all your facts straight or else you will

look like an ignorant fool."

James added, "Mimi and Uncle Leon have an innocent relationship."

Michelle felt a stab a guilt and promptly dropped her gaze.

Her relationship with Leon wasn't exactly as innocent as James thought.

She snuck a glance at Leon and was surprised to see him looking back at her. He smirked, and his

amber eyes glittered playfully.

It was a seductive look, and they both knew it.

Michelle choked on air and coughed to hide her embarrassment.

If they kept making eye contact, she would have difficulty holding herself back.

She really liked being in Leon's embrace now. His arms were strong and warm, making her feel as if

she could lean in them all the time.

Leon's smirk grew.

He found it amusing to tease her even without words or touch.

But such a playful expression was reserved only for Michelle. When he turned back to look at Randi,

his eyes were cold.

Randi's scalp tingled again. Her intuition told her that she was really in trouble this time.

Biting the bullet, she said, "Mr. Lu, since you are Valerie's fiance, you should keep your distance from

other women."

"I wasn't even aware we were engaged," Leon taunted. "Did Valerie tell you that I'm her fiance?"

"No," Randi admitted. "But everyone knows that you and Valerie are a couple since you two are always

together."

"That's an assumption, not the truth." Leon's tone became contemptuous. "You have good intentions,

but it's a pity that you are ignorant."

Randi had mixed feelings about being scolded so mercilessly. She felt both angry and ashamed.

Her face turned red in indignation, but the color eventually drained from her face.

She tried to rebut his statement. "Isn't your relationship with Valerie public knowledge?"

"I broke up with her seven years ago," Leon answered with no hesitation. He side-eyed Michelle and

noticed that she looked stunned by his response.

When he focused his gaze on her, he realized that her eyes were sparkling with surprise and joy.

As he expected, Michelle felt insecure because she had misunderstood his connection to Valerie.

He initially Randi brought to the hospital for questioning, but now, his suspicions were confirmed.

"We broke up seven years ago. It seems to me that Valerie has misled you to believe otherwise," Leon

asserted more firmly.

His words not only stunned Randi but also Michelle.

Michelle's mouth dropped slightly as she blinked in disbelief.

Joy filled her heart like a tidal wave, causing a giggle to bubble out of her.

"You broke up seven years ago?" Michelle murmured. After a pause, she asked Leon cautiously, "And

you didn't become a couple again after that?"

"No," Leon assured her. "We never got back together, not even once."

"Ahhh!" Michelle couldn't help but scream.

Everyone looked at her in confusion, prompting her to cover her mouth with both hands.

Her bright eyes sparkled with awareness.

"Seriously, Leon?" Michelle asked one more time.

Leon chuckled in amusement. "Seriously. But let's deal with Randi first. Apparently, she let you walk up

eighteen floors for no reason. What should we do with her?"

Finally realizing that she had made a big mistake, Randi silently stood there, awaiting whatever

punishment they intended to impose on her.

But Michelle was in a good mood. She was grinning as she decided, "She should also walk up

eighteen floors. After that, let's call it even."

"Good idea." Leon beckoned to Amy and muttered in her ear, "Let the girl go up and down eighteen

floors for one night."

Amy nodded and led Randi out of the room.

Now that it was the four of them left in the ward, the atmosphere lightened. Emma perched on the edge

of the bed. She cared about Michelle deeply, but she had to talk about Valerie.

"I just saw Valerie downstairs. Did she visit you?"

"Yes." Michelle nodded.

Emma had some follow-up questions. "Are you two on good terms? Based on what Randi just told us,

you and Valerie don't get along, do you?"

"Huh?" Michelle tilted her head in confusion.

The two men in the room also wondered what Emma was getting at.

Emma frowned. "You're clearly not on good terms. But it that's the case, why did she pay a million

dollars in damages for you?"

"What damages?" James demanded.

"I'm currently working on a play about Esports, and a few days ago, I visited a player named Joanna.

When she learned that I was Mimi's cousin, she told me that Mimi owed money for leaving the club.

She saw that another woman had paid for Mimi, and the manager called that woman Miss Feng."

Michelle felt as if she had been thrown back into the past.

"I didn't pay for anything and the manager just let me go. I would have forgotten this incident if you

hadn't reminded me."

"So Valerie was the reason you had to go abroad?" Emma asked, grabbing onto her cousin's

shoulders. She had to know!
