Chapter 159: Chapter 159: The Feeling of Happiness
Derrick Stern saw the signed contract, a cold smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He reached out to put the contract in his briefcase, and walked out of the Young Group building, feeling very pleased.
"Bullying the future Mrs. Kane and the young master of the Kane family comes at a heavy price. Why can’t these people get it?"
The Young Group was ruined by Old Madam Young, and Bella Young, these two women.
Derrick Stern eagerly anticipated Hugo Young working at the lowest level of the Kane-acquired Young Group. Five years would be enough to wear him down.
However, it won’t take five years. President Kane said that after tormenting Hugo Young for three months, he would disclose the real reason for the Young Group’s collapse to Hugo Young and his elderly mother.
As for Bella Young...
Derrick Stern’s smile deepened; that woman wasn’t easy.
In short, there will be a good show.
Derrick Stern opened the car door, got in, and dialed a number to Leon Keane: "President Kane, the acquisition of the Young Group is successful, and all shareholders have signed their five-year labor contracts."
Leon Keane slightly curled his thin lips, his handsome face cold like Satan: "Assign the toughest and most tiring jobs to Hugo Young in the Young Group, and send a shareholder who was most oppressed by him to be his supervisor."
Derrick Stern’s eyes shimmered with excitement: "Okay, President Kane."
Leon Keane hung up the phone, his dark eyes deep.
Old Madam Young led people to the hospital to assault his woman and son. He counted all this against her son, Hugo Young.
Old Madam Young was elderly; using the same method to hit her would be too crude, and the reputation of hitting an elderly woman wouldn’t sound good.
He’s a civilized person, so he uses civilized methods to deal with Old Madam Young. What in this world could be more painful and despairing for an elder than to use their mistakes to torment their child?
As it approached the time for Timmy to finish school, Ivana Monroe thought Leon Keane wouldn’t come to "GK Trend" to pick her up to get Timmy. The phone call he received in the morning, even though he didn’t tell her what it was about, she could vaguely guess.
Ivana didn’t expect to see the silver Bugatti Veyron majestically parked at the door again as she stepped out of the building.
Seeing Ivana come out, Leon got out from the driver’s seat, opened the passenger seat door to greet her.
Ivana got into the car, and he repeated yesterday’s move, fastening her seat belt for her.
Leon seized the moment when Ivana was distracted to steal a kiss from her lips.
Ivana’s cheeks flushed quickly; he laughed, closed the car door, went to the driver’s seat, and drove towards Wellbright Kindergarten.
After picking up the two little boys, Leon heard the childish voice of Timmy from the back, narrating today’s happenings in class. Ian would chime in occasionally, and Ivana in the passenger seat let out gentle, pleasant laughter.
Leon felt a warmth in his heart; this is the feeling of home he wants, a wife by his side, two sons chatting and laughing, a harmonious and happy family.
Ian requested a stop on the way to the Kane family’s old mansion to return to the Rolls-Royce trailing behind.
Leon dropped Ivana and Timmy home first, but this time he didn’t stay for dinner; he just bid them farewell.
"Uncle Kane, aren’t you staying tonight?"
Timmy Monroe’s clear eyes showed a hint of disappointment; he hoped Leon would stay. Even during the day at kindergarten, he couldn’t help thinking: Daddy is so capable, what doesn’t he understand? At night, he wanted to ask daddy more questions so in the future he could become as strong as daddy, strong enough to protect mommy, and protect his brother.
"Call me Daddy." Leon bent down, reaching out to touch Timmy Monroe’s tender cheek.
"Daddy." Timmy Monroe’s cheeks reddened slightly, calling "Daddy," he furtively looked up at Ivana, noticing she wasn’t angry, his little lips pursed slightly, holding back a happy smile.
"Yes, from now on, you mustn’t call me Uncle Kane anymore; you must call me Daddy like Ian does, alright?" Timmy being his son, Leon now felt that "Uncle Kane" sounded awkward.
He liked being called "Daddy" by the little boy; it’s such an affectionate term.
"Okay." Since mommy wasn’t angry, Timmy decisively agreed with Leon.
Leon lovingly caressed Timmy’s small head, gently said, "Daddy has things to attend to tonight and can’t stay with you and mommy, but once Daddy finishes, next time I’ll stay here with you and mommy, okay?"
The little boy was sensible, his eyes shining with excitement as he revealed a delightful smile, "Okay, Daddy."
Before leaving, Leon gave Ivana a deep look, a gaze filled with yearning and reluctance, as if compelled to leave her side tonight.
Ivana felt overwhelmed by his blatant gaze, lowering her head, thinking this man is too much; staring directly at her even with the child present, without the slightest restraint.
Leon’s mood brightened; he curled his thin lips slightly and turned away with a smile.
On his way, Leon received another call from the old mansion; it was from his mother.
"Leon, when will you arrive at the old mansion? Ian and I are waiting for you to have dinner."
"Mom, you and Ian can start without me, don’t wait up. It’ll be some time before I can return to the old mansion."
Leon didn’t tell his mother he was already on the way home because it takes at least half an hour from here to the Kane family’s old mansion, considering the traffic lights.
In this half hour, the dishes would become cold, re-heating everything would be troublesome, and the taste wouldn’t be good.
Because of this, Ian would also go hungry.
Upon hearing Leon say such things, his mother’s face immediately changed; he was definitely at that vixen Ivana’s house again?
Surely, before calling Leon, she had phoned the Kane Group, where the receptionist told her Leon had left work punctually over an hour ago.
From the Kane Group to the Kane family’s old mansion is only a twenty-minute drive. So where had he gone during this time?
It could only be to that vixen’s house.
Suppressing her anger, his mother didn’t explode over the phone: "Whenever you get home, we’ll eat dinner then, Ian and I will starve if you waste your time outside frolicking."
She finished speaking and hung up, not giving Leon a chance to reply.
Her hand trembled as she ended the call, her heart also trembling constantly, Auntie Chamberlain stood behind her, reaching out to support her.
"Madam, you mustn’t get agitated, if you injure yourself now with anger, how will you deal with that vixen Ivana later?"
His mother’s pupils contracted suddenly; through gritted teeth she said, "You’re right, I can’t be angry. I can’t let that shameless vixen take away my son and ruin my precious grandson."
