Chapter 242
Samuel tapped the group chat to open it and took one look at the contents. He simply thought Nina and Leila were joking around on the group chat. “Focus on your breakfast. Just ignore them.”
“But Leila mentioned that Nina brought her new boyfriend home! Josie stared at Samuel curiously. “Aren’t you curious at all
“You don’t know Nina well. Even if she does bring her new boyfriend home, it’s because she’s afraid of Grandpa Lewis finding out about her divorce. She’s just putting on an act for him. Don’t fall for it.” Samuel remained nonchalant.
“But… Mandy said he’s better-looking than you, Josie was eager to meet the newcomer. I really want to head home and check him out.”
Samuel became moody immediately. “She’s definitely lying. You can only check me out.”
“Leila also mentioned that the guy is super generous. He can easily afford gifts that are tens of thousands of dollars,” Josie continued.
“Huh?” Samuel’s suspicion grew. “Nina spent all of her money on developing her own projects. Even if that guy’s an actor that she hired, there’s no need for him to spend this much money on our family, is there?”
“Leila and Mandy posted the pictures of the gifts on the group chat! They aren’t lying at all!” Josie seemed more curious. “Just look at this! I’ve seen this handbag featured in magazines before! Even top-tier celebrities need to pre-order the handbags because of the limited stock!”
Samuel grabbed Josie’s phone and looked at the screen. Then, he sent a question mark on the group chat.
Soon, Leila tagged Josie on the group chat. [Jo hurry up and come home. You’ll be able to receive a special gift from our new brother-in-law if you do that.]
“Money is as powerful as expected. To think that Leila is quick to refer to that man as her brother-in-law… Josie looked very shocked “She has just kicked Gabriel out of her life, and now she’s already bringing another man home. I’m seriously very impressed.
Samuel almost choked on his drink when he heard Josie’s laments. He never knew that she was capable of humor in the past “Hurry up and finish your breakfast. After this, we can go home and check that guy out.”
Josie took two bites out of her food instantly. “Isn’t it lunchtime already? We might as well go home and have lunch with the others.”
Samuel raised his hand and tapped a finger on Josie’s forehead gently. “You’re such a gossiper.”
Josie just giggled as she got up from her seat before changing into fresh clothes as quickly as she could. “Let’s go home!”
“Are you eager to go home because you want to meet the new guy, or is it because you want to gossip with the others?” Samuel leaned against the doorframe, already feeling like laughing at Josie’s excitable antics.
“Leila did mention that he’s hotter than you” Josie felt like teasing Samuel at that moment.
“Then let’s not go home I have a feeling I’m going to be in danger With a smile curled on his lips, Samuel quickly stopped Joe trom leaving
Dous be afraid, Sanuel. I won’t leave you even if he turns out to be the world’s hottest guy Let’s go already!” Josie tried her
particles as she grabbed Samuel’s wrist and rushed out of the door.

At the same time, he was very curious as to what Nina was up to
He wondered if Nina was trying to piss Gabriel off or shut Lewis up by bringing a man home.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Turner residence was awfully tense.
Lewis sat on the couch with a frosty expression on his face. It was obvious that he was enraged.

Lewis slammed a palm on the coffee table before him with a loud bang, his chest heaving up and down heavily due to rage.
Nina, Leila, and Mandy sat up straight immediately. Things tended to be very serious whenever Lewis became furious.
Mandy’s face mask even fell off her face, which was saying something. She could only sit there obediently alongside her sisters. They looked like kindergarten students at that moment.
Leonardo was also stunned after witnessing Lewis’ domineering display. He shuffled into a proper sitting position. subconsciously, going so far as to place his hands on his lap properly.
“Gabriel… I would never have expected that he’s an ungrateful traitor! Lewis berated.
Tania quickly served the elderly man some hot coffee. “Dad, please calm down. The reason why we didn’t tell you this is that we didn’t want you to get mad.”
After that. Tania turned to glare at Nina. “Why didn’t you tell us about your divorce for so long? How long are you planning on keeping us in the dark if Leonardo hadn’t decided to visit us today?”
Speechless, Nina decided to shoulder the blame.
She never expected that her mother would refer to Leonardo in such a close manner.
It was Leonardo’s first time visiting her family, after all, Yet, he was successful in gaining their favor.
Thank goodness George was still on a business trip. Otherwise, he would be angry at Nina as well.
“What’s your family business, Leonardo? Lewis forced himself to calm down. After all, his new son-in-law was here to visit the family. He couldn’t possibly spend the whole time berating about Nina’s divorce.
“My family dabbles in investment,” Leonardo replied formally.
Lewis nodded in satisfaction. “How long have you known Nina?”
Nina in question tensed up immediately. She had just met Leonardo one day and decided to get married to him. Lewis would most definitely fly into fits of rage once he heard this.
“It’s been three years.” Leonardo remained formal and proper.
Meanwhile, as they stared at Nina, Leila and Mandy’s eyes widened, clearly itching to gossip.
Of course, Nina looked even more surprised than them.
So, you’ve known each other for three years, hmmm? Leonardo is clearly the superior choice, Nina Why on earth did you choose Gabriel in the end- Are you blind?” Leila asked sharply.
Nina gritted her teeth as a threatening gesture to stop Leila from running her mouth.
Oh you’ve known each other for this long” Lewis let out a sigh before nodding his this manager You didn’t even talk about this with both families
head. “Then what’s the reason behind
Naturally, Lewis was stall angry at the fact that Leonardo and Noja had obtained their marriage cerulcate on a whim..

“Grandpa Lewis, I’m sorry that I didn’t let you know about this earlier. I keep telling Nina to inform her family about our relationship so that I can become her official partner, but she’s worried that you might like Gabriel more and reject me in the end.” As Leonardo spoke, an innocent smile appeared on his face.
He was definitely as cunning as a fox.
With that statement, Leonardo successfully became the victim in the scenario.
Almost instantly. Lewis and Tania gazed at Leonardo sympathetically. They both felt that the latter was quite pitiful.
“Nina tends to be overly dominant and demanding. This isn’t good at all.” Lewis started berating Nina as he didn’t want her to ruin her second marriage.
To him. Leonardo was an innocent and naive man.
Nina could barely say anything to refute Lewis. She felt as if she was choking on a fishbone at that time. All she could do was laugh dryly as she didn’t dare to say anything.
“Grandpa Lewis, Mom, my family knows about Nina and me receiving our marriage certificate. My parents are the ones who prepared the gifts that I brought with love and care. They’re currently on their way to Hofcaster and should arrive tonight. Both of our families should meet up and get acquainted with each other,” Leonardo continued as he smiled innocently.
Nina suddenly drew to her feet. “Oh my god… just how cunning is he?” she wondered.
“Your parents are here?” Nina raised her voice subconsciously while looking rather unfriendly.
“Sit down! What’s going on? It’s precisely due to your domineering personality that scares all the other men off!” Tania chided angrily, clearly siding with Leonardo.
Everyone in the family knew about Nina’s domineering side: Gabriel kept complaining about her personality in the past. For a very long time, the family knew that Nina and Gabriel’s marriage wouldn’t last.
Leonardo just smiled proudly. “Grandpa Lewis, is it okay if my parents drop by without informing you in advance? Will their presence disturb you?”
“Stop frightening the poor guy, Nina! Now that you two have received your marriage certificate, what you need right now is a wedding ceremony. How can the bride and groom’s parents not meet each other, huh? You’re getting more and more unruly these days” Lewis glared at Nina sternly, thinking that the latter had been controlling Leonardo the whole time.
She had to learn to respect her man in public.
It was fine if Nina was disrespectful to Gabriel, who was a traitorous and ungrateful fool. However, Leonardo came from a proper family with a good business background, so she mustn’t do the same thing to him,
Nina’s breath lodged in her throat, causing her to be unable to defend herself.
Jo and Samuel are almost here. Let’s have lunch once they’ve arrived. The entire family is here, save for my dad,” Leila quipped happily
their “Your father is coming home tonight! Nina. Look us a hotel right now! For goodness’ sake, our in-laws are already on way to Hofcaster I can’t believe we’re just finding out about there now!“ Tania shot another angry glance at Nina before she turned to amule at Leonardo Jau, Nina didn’t even bother telling us about your family in advance. I hope that they can forgive us for any mishaps”
Leonando por up to his toes burnedly. “Of course Mom if anything my parents are worried that they might trouble you.”
he grand dari teeth and glared at Nira aher noticing how ruble Leonardo was. “You better treat Leo well. Nina! Why

Once again, Nina was speechless and confused. She didn’t even know what to say.
“Who am I? Where am I?” she thought helplessly.
