The Sister Disagrees with the Marriage

Drake immediately narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the car license plate. As Richard's trusted confidant, he had been keeping a close eye on Leonardo's movements and was quite familiar with his car.

"That's strange..." Drake muttered to himself. "What is Leonardo's car doing here?"

He hesitated for a second and then dialed Richard's phone again.

"Mr. Richard!" he said in a hushed tone. "I just saw Leonardo's car! It's near the Windsor Group!"

On the other end of the phone, Richard's breathing audibly hitched.

"... Are you sure?" His voice suddenly turned cold.

"Absolutely sure!" Drake said with determination. "I couldn't be mistaken!"

There was a few - second silence on the phone, and then Richard simply replied, "Keep watching."

The call ended. Drake put down his phone, his eyes glaring malevolently at the departing Maybach, and a cold smile slowly formed on his lips.

At the Windsor Manor at this moment.

The light from the crystal chandelier danced on Eileen Windsor's diamond - studded watch. Her slender fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of the mahogany desk, her knuckles turning slightly white from the pressure. Emma, the secretary, carefully handed her a glass of ice water. The water droplets on the glass wall slid down along Eileen's fingertips as she held the cup, leaving dark marks on her expensive silk cuff.

"Please don't be angry." Emma softly tried to soothe her, her eyes catching a glimpse of Eileen's tightly - set jawline. She knew this expression all too well - whenever the eldest young lady was angry, she always suppressed her fury in such a composed manner.

Eileen's gaze landed on the crumpled guest list on the table. The gold - embossed letters left a glaring blank in the position of Richard's family name. Her fingernails scratched a mark on the paper, and her red lips pressed into a tight line.

"I wonder how much grievance she'll have to endure after getting married there." Emma couldn't help but mutter in a low voice. Her fingers nervously twisted the cuff of her silk blouse, her brows knitted tightly. "They even dare to treat us like this for the engagement party..."

Eileen's brows furrowed even deeper, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were faintly visible under the light. She picked up the water cup and took a sip, her throat rolling. But the cold liquid couldn't extinguish the anger burning in her eyes. "Hasn't Luna come back yet?" Her voice was a few decibels lower than usual, tinged with suppressed anger.

Just then, the carved wooden door of the office was gently pushed open. Luna Windsor's figure appeared at the door. She was wearing the latest Chanel pink suit today, with her long golden hair casually tied behind her ears, and a few wayward strands falling beside her cheeks. When she saw her sister, she unconsciously bit her lower lip. This habitual small gesture made two shallow dimples appear on her cheeks.

"Sister, I'm back." Luna's voice was clear and carried a hint of flattery. Her eyes widened slightly, like a little deer that had done something wrong.

Eileen's expression softened a bit instantly, but then tightened again. Her gaze passed over her sister's shoulder and landed on the tall and slender figure at the door. Leonardo Black was standing there gracefully. His dark - blue suit set off his tall and straight posture, and a proper smile hung on his lips, with a hint of cautious exploration at the corners of his eyes.

"You..." Eileen's voice stopped abruptly. Her red lips parted slightly, and a flash of surprise crossed her eyes. She quickly searched her memory - in the past twenty - odd years, Luna and this billionaire should have had no interaction at all.

Leonardo took a step forward, his movement as graceful as a cheetah. He slightly bowed, and his thick eyelashes cast a shadow under the light. "Miss Eileen, I'm Leonardo Black." His voice was deep and pleasant, carrying the ease of the nobility.

Luna quickly walked to her sister's side, reaching out to grab Eileen's sleeve. Her fingertips were slightly trembling due to nervousness. "Sister, I have something important to tell you." Her eyes sparkled with unease, yet also with a certain determined resolve.

Eileen's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, finally settling on her sister's face. She raised one eyebrow, her red lips pursed tightly. "What is it?" Her voice carried obvious vigilance.

Luna took a deep breath and suddenly turned to link her arm with Leonardo's. This movement made her fair arm contrast sharply with Leonardo's dark - colored suit. "I'm going to get engaged to Leonardo." Her voice was soft, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

The air in the office seemed to freeze instantly. Emma gasped, and the pen in her hand dropped to the ground with a "clatter". She quickly bent down to pick it up, her cheeks flushing bright red.

Eileen's eyes widened slightly, and her pupils contracted. She slowly stood up, her hands propping on the table, her knuckles turning white from the force. "What did you say?" Her voice was soft, but it made Luna unconsciously take a half - step back, her shoulders slightly hunching.

Leonardo stepped forward in a timely manner. His movement was elegant and restrained. "Miss Eileen, please allow me to explain..." His brows furrowed slightly, and a sincere look appeared in his eyes.

"I'm talking to my sister." Eileen coldly interrupted him. Her ice - blue eyes stared directly at Luna, her gaze as sharp as a knife. "Do you know what you're saying?" Her jawline was tightly set, showing her suppressed anger.

Luna's fingers tightly grasped the hem of her dress, her knuckles turning white. "Richard went to Paris to find that woman," her voice trembled a bit, but then quickly became firm. "Just a week before our engagement party."

Eileen's pupils suddenly contracted, and her breath visibly stopped for an instant. She turned and walked towards the French window. The sunlight filtered through the curtain, casting mottled light and shadow on her face, making the outline of her tense side - face sharper.

Eileen's pupils contracted slightly. She had long known what kind of person Richard was, but she didn't expect him to be so blatant.

"The news has been sent out, and the guests have been invited." Luna raised her head, her emerald - like eyes shining with a stubborn light. "I can't let the Windsor family become a laughingstock."

"So you just randomly find someone to get engaged to?" There was disbelief in her voice. When she turned her head, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes. "Do you know who Leonardo Black is?" Her fingers unconsciously rubbed her watch, a small gesture when she was upset.

Luna walked to Leonardo's side, hesitated for a moment, and then gently linked her arm with his. Leonardo's body visibly stiffened for a moment but then quickly relaxed, a soothing smile curving his lips.

"It's not random." Luna's voice was gentle yet firm. She looked up at Leonardo, a trusting light shining in her eyes. "We... we met in high school." Her golden hair swayed slightly with her movement. "Besides, I can't let Richard humiliate us like this anymore."

Eileen's sharp gaze swept back and forth between the two of them. Finally, she walked back to the desk, her fingers gently tapping on the table as she fell into thought. The sunlight shone on her blond hair, casting a soft halo around her, forming a sharp contrast with her tense expression.

"If..." Leonardo suddenly spoke, his voice deep and firm. "Miss Eileen has concerns, we can sign a prenuptial agreement." As he said this, his chin lifted slightly, showing an unassailable confidence.

Eileen let out a cold laugh, a sarcastic arc curving her red lips. "What kind of agreement can guarantee that my sister won't get hurt?" Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if trying to see through Leonardo's thoughts.

Leonardo calmly took out a gold - embossed envelope from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Anna. His movement was elegant and precise, and his long fingers looked particularly good in the sunlight. "This is the draft prepared by my lawyer." His voice was as calm as water. "The terms include: if I have any act of infidelity during the marriage, I will leave the marriage with nothing; if Luna files for divorce, I will unconditionally transfer 5% of the shares of the Black Group to her."

Anna's hand trembled visibly as she took the envelope. Her eyes widened, and her lips quivered slightly. Eileen quickly browsed through the document, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper, and the suspicion in her eyes gradually replaced by surprise.

"Why?" she asked bluntly, staring intently at Leonardo with a piercing gaze. "What's in it for you?"

Leonardo's gaze landed on Luna, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on his face, but he didn't say anything.
