Always be with you

Chapter 139 A Second Chance (Part One)

Leena looked back at her and was totally confused. Godfather? What was going on? She had no idea

why Alina appeared in Richard's house, and she called him godfather. When did they recognize each

other? Was it bad for Richard to call her this time?

"Come in and have a seat!" Richard ordered. He closed a notebook and put it into the drawer.

Leena saw that the notebook was black, but she couldn't see more details. She was not sure what it

was. She thought of what Richard had given her. Did Alina give the notebook back to Richard again?

What on earth did Alina want to do? Dylan didn't help her escape from the country. She had no choice

but to go to Richard and acknowledge him as her godfather? But what about her brother? Would

Peterson join Alina?

Leena walked in while she was lost in various fancies and conjectures.

Richard said, "You must be curious why I asked you to come here, right?"

Sitting down, Leena looked at Richard uneasily. Seeing that his eyes were sharp and bright through his

gold rimmed presbyopic glasses, she nodded slightly. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"Alina has returned the notebook to me!" Richard suddenly said.

It turned out that the notebook she saw just now was real!

"You disappoint me!" Richard added.

Hearing that, Leena was speechless. She had talked to Richard before, and he had thought highly of

her and gave her the important notebook. But she didn't expect that Alina could deal with so many

men. Even her brother was obsessed with her, so that thing was screwed up. Now, in order to get the

notebook, Dylan, Jack and Carlson, fought fiercely outside. Dylan and Jack couldn't even be relatives,

and Alina returned the notebook to Richard.

"I thought you could do a good job, but in the end, it's Alina who cleaned up the mess for you."

At last, Leena couldn't help saying, "Richard, may I ask if Alina has always been on your side? She

called you godfather?"

Richard replied seriously, "It doesn't matter if she's on my side. I gave you such an important notebook

and you lost it. It was she who helped you find it and finally gave it back to me."

Richard only cared about the result, and he didn't care how Alina got the notebook. He didn't care

about what tricks she had used, or if she had ever thought of plotting against him. He only cared about

the result. As long as Alina finally cleaned up the mess and took the notebook back, she was better

than her.

The reality was cruel. The fittest survive. Richard was such a dictatorial man. People like them who

were on high positions alone had no reason to sympathize with people who couldn't do their jobs well.

At the thought that the old man sitting opposite to her might be her grandfather, Leena felt a little sad.

Even if he was really her grandfather, he didn't have any feelings for her.

Leena asked, "What do you want to say to me?"

"You married to Carlson. Are you in love with him?" Asked Richard.

"I was forced to marry him at the beginning. You can see it on the wedding. I'm not willing to marry

him."

"At the beginning, it means that you are not forced later?"

"But does it have anything to do with you whether I am willing to marry him or not?"

Richard sneered, "Miss Leena, you are from my side. Do you think you can get rid of me like this?"

"Richard, what did you want me to do?" Leena looked at him aggressively.

Richard kept silent and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Leena asked, "I always want to ask you, is it true that Miguel said I am your

granddaughter?"

If this man was really her grandfather, why did he have no feelings for her at all? And where were her

parents? If not, how could she explain that Richard was willing to see her before and gave her such an

important notebook?

Richard thought for a while and answered frankly, "You are indeed my granddaughter, but I have a lot

of granddaughters. You don't have to take yourself too seriously!"

Yes, she never took herself too seriously. But she didn't expect that she was really the granddaughter

of the man in front of her. She really had something to do with the gangs. It turned out that her

background had always been unclean. She had dreamed of living peacefully before, but now it was

completely impossible. She knew that Richard didn't take her seriously, or he wouldn't have left her to

Bowen for raising; or after her father died, he wouldn't have let her suffer outside for so many years. He

wouldn't even admit her as his granddaughter if Miguel hadn't exposed it. It could be seen how much

he had abandoned her.

"But I still don't understand why there are so many things bothering me since I am the granddaughter

that you have abandoned. Why did you ask me to help you before? Maybe you are indifferent to my

family and think that I'm not your granddaughter, but my identity or something must have attracted your

attention. Otherwise, why would Carlson marry me and use me as a tool?"

"You see it clearly now." Said Richard.

"I'm not stupid. Why can't I see it clearly? It's just that I am not sophisticated as you so I've been fooled

and used by you all the time."

"I did use you before because of your identity. Your biological parents brought the secret to the tomb. I

don't want to tell you. But it won't hinder me from using you. You messed up the first thing. Fortunately,

Alina brought the notebook back to me, so I can give you a second chance. It depends on your

performance this time." Richard's words were very cold, without any family warmth. As expected, he

didn't cherish his granddaughter. What a cold-blooded old man!

That was why Richard came to her today. He wanted to use her and cooperate with her for the second

time.

Leena said, "You can't give me what I want."

Richard suddenly smiled as if he was laughing at her and said in a loud voice, "Wasn't the safety of you

and your family and friends what you want?"

Yes, she had thought so before, but later she found that her identity was not in line with that way of

living. Even if she really lived that way, God would forbid her to do so. The gangs will come to her

again. So now she not only wanted to live a stable life, but also wanted to revenge on those who made

her suffer, such as Alina, Dylan, and... Carlson.

"Since you look down on me and you have found a substitute, Alina, why do you still come to me? Mr.

Richard, if there's nothing else, I'll leave now!" After saying that, Leena stood up and walked out

without waiting for his answer.

Richard didn't expect her to be like this. He said coldly, "If you walk out of this door, you will regret."

Hearing that, Leena stopped and said, "Yes, maybe I will regret it. But since I will be controlled by fate

no matter how I live, it's better for me to find a way to go over by myself. Maybe it's not too bad!"

"Don't overestimate yourself!" Richard commented.

Without answering, Leena walked out. It was the first time that she had refused a big shot, the first time

that she hadn't listened to the arrangement of those people and also the first time that she had taken

the initiative to control her own fate. Even if she might fall miserably, she didn't want to be manipulated

by them anymore.
