Chapter196.

My words provoked Nataly’s anger, and she stepped forward, ready to slap me.

Just at that moment, Leland appeared and actually stopped the slap.

Leland pressed Nataly’s hand down, and the serious expression on his face was replaced with a smile. I never expected that the usually proud Leland would suddenly appear somewhat submissive.

“Ms. Sandoval, please calm down. It’s not appropriate to turn physical at the signing ceremony. Of course, if you have any grievances, you can tell me.”

Upon hearing Leland’s words, Nataly snorted and glanced at me, hugging her arms.

“Leland, this woman has been plotting against you and Caitlyn, and yet you still side with her? Do you realize how much Caitlyn loves you? Are you really sure you don’t want to give yourself a chance?”

Leland actually lowered his head and said, “Caitlyn, I’m sorry. It’s true that I am not worthy of you, but if there’s anything, you can just come at me. Now, I really have nothing to be afraid of.”

What did Leland mean by “I am not worthy of you”?

After saying that, he looked at me. What did he mean by “I really have nothing to be afraid of”?

Did it mean that he had already put the money into the Leslie Group, and he just needed that 3 billion dollars to be worry-free?

Wait, was this man acting again? He had clearly agreed with Caitlyn to deceive me out of 3 billion dollars, but why did he deposit 700 billion in the Leslie Group’s financial account today? I was momentarily confused.

I couldn’t really see what this man was up to. Was he helping me now?

But why? What did he want again?

Nataly said with a hint of disdain, “True. Caitlyn is my best friend, and the Sandoval family supports her. You really don’t measure up to her, but if you can maim this woman for me, regain control of the Leslie Group, and handle that project with the municipal government, I suppose I can consider letting Caitlyn be with you.”

Leland stood with his hands in his pockets, and I could tell that his features were tense. He had been holding back as if enduring great pain. What was Leland doing exactly? Was he angry because Caitlyn wasn’t with him anymore?

At that time, I was like a bystander, feeling a bit confused.

Leland continued, “Caitlyn can find someone better, and I have indeed lost everything now. I don’t want to hold her back anymore!”

Caitlyn was furious. “Leland, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Let me tell you. Your attitude is not one of someone seeking help. It seems like you really want the one you care about to die.”
