Chapter 57: Conflict Escalates

Right now, the Genting restaurant is by the window.

Sophie Evans and her son are still making fun of each other.

"Who knew Oliver Hayes, a loser, could still be the boss? God is so blind!" Nathan Thompson was indignant.

"Hum! He's just a boy with a soft spot! If it wasn't for Miss Williams, where would he be today?" Sophie Evans curled her mouth.

"That's right! After the novelty of Miss Williams, he will kick Oliver Hayes away, and then see how arrogant he is!" Nathan Thompson was jealous.

"A man who relies on a woman to get to the top is nothing after all; Only a talented, well-educated young man like Leonard can truly be one of the best!" Sophie Evans began to stomp on it.

"Speaking of Brother Leonard, it's a shame, if you hadn't gone abroad, you would have been my brother-in-law!" The way Nathan Thompson shakes his head.

"Yes, yes! -Sheldon: Leonard, you have no idea that Lily has been sad for a long time since you went abroad to study." Sophie Evans chimed in.

"Mother! What are you talking about? " Lily Thompson frowned.

He looks very unhappy.

"What nonsense is that? If Leonard hadn't gone abroad, why would you have married that Oliver Hayes loser?" Sophie Evans is right in her words.

"You --"

Lily Thompson is about to have an attack, Leonard Richard hurriedly began to talk back: "All right, all right, let's not mention the past, here, eat food first, the taste is very good."

See this, mother and son two people very give face shut the mouth.

Then he began to eat.

"Well, Nathan and I will go downstairs and get something and you two can eat."

Halfway through the meal, Sophie Evans stops and winks at her son.

"Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm going out with mom."

Nathan Thompson was quick to understand and immediately followed Sophie Evans away.

Obviously, they're trying to give Lily Thompson a chance to be alone.

"Lily, I was sorry when I left without saying goodbye. I hope you can give me another chance."

After they left, Leonard Richard finally spoke up.

"The past is the past. I don't care about it." Lily Thompson's way is neither salty nor bland.

She has no other person in her heart, naturally does not care.

"That's good... You've really grown up in a few years."

Leonard Richard smiled his signature smile

"Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom."

Lily Thompson did not answer. She wiped her mouth and left the table.

Looking at the curvy figure, Leonard Richard curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Then he took out a packet of powder and poured it all into the wine glass.

And then when you're done, you give it a little stir.

And this scene, just happened to be seen by the restaurant manager.

The manager did not hesitate to go into Oliver Hayes' private room and tell him what had happened.

"Drugged? Are you sure?"

After hearing this, Oliver Hayes suddenly frowned.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes!" The manager is sure.

"I didn't think he'd let the cat out of the bag so quickly." Ava Williams narrowed her eyes.

"Brother Lu, this kind of person just needs beating, do you want me to teach him a lesson for you?" The Lucas McDonald opening next door.

"No, I'll handle it myself."

Oliver Hayes didn't say much. He got up and walked out of the room.

Lily Thompson just came back from the bathroom.

Leonard Richard, on the other hand, offered a glass of red wine.

"Lily, to make my apologies, I propose a toast."

Leonard Richard smiled and raised his glass.

"After this drink, I have to go back. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow." Lily Thompson's subtle words.

"All right, drink and go."

Leonard Richard nodded, not reluctantly.

Just as Lily Thompson was about to drink it down, a sudden sound sounded behind her.

"I wouldn't drink that wine if I were you."

"Huh?"

Lily Thompson looked back to see Oliver Hayes coming and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The wine has been drugged. If you drink it, you will be slaughtered." "Warns Oliver Hayes.

"Drugged?"

Lily Thompson frowns slightly and looks at Leonard Richard.

"Oliver Hayes, have you misunderstood something?"

Leonard Richard's face stiffened slightly, but he quickly recovered.

"You know for yourself whether it was a mistake." Oliver Hayes cold track.

"Lily, do you think I'm a mean person?" Leonard Richard turned around and looked sincere.

Lily Thompson looked from left to right and finally asked, "Oliver Hayes, what proof do you have?"

"The manager of the restaurant saw it with his own eyes. He can testify." "Oliver Hayes said.

"That's right! I saw very clearly just now that it was he who put drugs in the wine!" The manager pointed his hand at Leonard Richard.

"Everyone knows you are a gang. If you conspired to make a false accusation, I have nothing to say." Leonard Richard shook his head.

You look like you've been wronged.

"Oliver Hayes, in public, if you don't have solid evidence, you better not say anything!" Lily Thompson looks serious.

If she knows Leonard Richard, he's not that kind of guy.

"Someone has already seen it, what more proof do you need?" Would you rather believe him than me?" Oliver Hayes frowned.

I just feel like I'm holding my breath.

"I..."

Lily Thompson was lost for words.

Leonard Richard is the master of the Richard family. He is a noble man with excellent manners. Why would he use such dirty means?

But when Oliver Hayes says that, it doesn't sound like a lie.

For a moment, she had a hard time deciding.

"Lily, it looks like Oliver Hayes is wrong about me, but that's okay. I can prove my innocence."

"Didn't he say I drugged your wine? Then we'll have another drink."

Leonard Richard said, picking up Lily Thompson's glass and drinking it down.

It was a simple act that instantly dispelled Lily Thompson's doubts.

If you really take the medicine, how can you drink it yourself?

"Oliver Hayes, I don't know what I have done to offend you. I need you to humiliate me in this way. If I did something wrong, I apologize." Leonard Richard nodded slightly.

Looks humble, polite and personable.

The gentleman two words, show incisively and vividly.

"Oliver Hayes, how do you explain that?"

Lily Thompson turned her head, her eyes questioning.

"If I am not mistaken, he must have taken the antidote in advance." Oliver Hayes said solemnly.

'What nonsense!

Lily Thompson's face sank: "Oliver Hayes, your words are getting too much! Leonard Richard has proven his innocence. Why are you so obsessed with him? "

"I'm telling the truth."

"Hum! I think you are using the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman!" Lily Thompson was angry.

Of course she knows. Oliver Hayes doesn't like Leonard Richard.

But if that's all it is, you have to smear a man's reputation.

This is evil!

"If you don't believe me, go through his pockets, there should still be powder in them!"

Oliver Hayes said, reaching out to rummage through the clothes, to prove innocence.

This move, however, completely angered Lily Thompson.

"You've had enough!

Lily Thompson throws a glass of red wine directly in Oliver Hayes' face.

"Are you finished or not? Why does this always happen? "

"You are a big man, can you stop being so small?" "

"If you're jealous of Leonard Richard, then improve yourself and play fair, not be unreasonable and use such dirty tricks to plant evidence!"

"Your behavior will only make me look down on you more!"

As soon as he said that, Oliver Hayes froze.
