Female Novel
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 987
Chapter 987
“You’re right, but an hour has gone by, and Leon is not home yet. What could’ve
happened?” Iris asked worriedly. She knew that Louisa was right and that George and
the rest of the Collins would be able to protect Leon, but nothing was certain-the
Youngs were at an advantage over them, and one could not possibly overpower so
many people. Leon and George were significantly outnumbered, and it would not be
easy to escape the Youngs and the Lowes’ forces combined!
Seeing that Leon was yet to return, Iris could not help feeling more and more
concerned.
“Um, perhaps Leon and Elder Collins were delayed somehow,” Louisa replied rather
vaguely.
“What could that be? Who could’ve delayed them in the middle of the night? ” Iris was
beginning to despair, and then, all of a sudden, a thought popped into her head, and
her voice began to shake. “Louisa, do you think something could’ve happened to
Leon?”
“No. Don’t overthink this. Iris. I’m sure Leon is fine,” Louisa’s heart leaped into her
throat and she quickly tried to reassure Iris, but even she herself was losing
confidence.
After all, so much time went by without any news from Leon, and if nothing bad
happened, he would have been home by now!
“No, I have to go find him!” Iris finally could not hold off her worry any longer and
strode straight toward the front door.
“No, you can’t go!” All of a sudden, her father’s voice rang out behind her as he
sauntered out of the living room.
“Why can’t I, Father? Leon hasn’t returned yet, and he must’ve gotten in trouble
somehow, or perhaps the Youngs and Harold have caught him! We can’t possibly
stand by and watch him die, can we?” Iris said in a panic.
“Iris, stay calm! Even if Leon ended up in the Youngs and Harold’s hands, what will
you be able to do? You’re just going to humiliate yourself!” Gilbert replied.
“That’s not true! Father, we used to be a part of the Youngs, so why don’t we go there
together and beg Grandpa Melvin to have mercy on him?” Iris asked in despair. She
knew that Harold and the Youngs were determined to kill Leon, and if he ended up in
their hands, there was no doubt he would not make it out alive!
However, if she could convince Melvin to have mercy on him, perhaps the Youngs and
Harold would choose simply to cripple Leon but spare his life!
Therefore, she did not care whether this would succeed or not-trying was at least
better than waiting at home!
“You’re asking me to beg the Youngs for Leon’s sake? That’s impossible! I won’t
humiliate myself this way!” Gilbert refused to do so. He was thinking the same as Irisnovelbin
—the fact that Leon was yet to return meant that things probably took a turn for the
worse, and nothing he or Iris could do would change anything.
Besides, Daisy was the one who possessed most of the Youngs’ power, not Melvin.
Even if he and Iris begged him for mercy, there was nothing much he could do at all,
so why would he go to so much trouble for this?
“What on earth are you saying, Father?”
