The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 33

Lily trembled uncontrollably, for she knew that Joseph held a high position in the company. Even if she told the

truth, the most Ariel could do to Joseph was reprimand him, and it was not like any severe action would be taken

against him.

Things would only go south from then on because Joseph would almost certainly exercise his authority to fire

her!

Lily began to hesitate when she thought about her sick mother on the hospital bed, her younger brother's tuition

fees, and the high hopes all her relatives placed on her.

“Go on. Tell me,” Ariel urged.

“I... Mister Conrad and | were just discussing work in the office. He didn’t do anything inappropriate...” It was

challenging for Lily to say that. She lowered her head the entire tand did not dare to look at Leon.

Despite her eternal gratitude to Leon for saving her, the burden of being fired was too heavy a consequence for

her to bear. There was nothing else she could do other than apologize to Leon in her heart.

“Huh?”

Her statement was like a bolt from the blue for Leon and his smile instantly disappeared.

He could never imagine that Lily would be the one to dismiss his kind gesture even though he risked it all just to

save her!

“You heard that, didn’t you, Miss Summers? He's making wild accusations against me!”

Joseph smiled smugly.

“This was all your doing then, Leon! Iri- Ahem, the company has rules and regulations that you must comply

with. It’s not a place where you can just do whatever you want!” Ariel chided.

Iris just reminded Leon to do his job well, yet it took him no tto rely on Iris’s backing to oppress other people!

‘We can't just let this go on. If worse comes to worst and he gets fired, I'll just take him in and raise him myself,”

Ariel thought.

“That's not what happened, Miss Summers. Please letexpl-“Leon glanced angrily at Lily and felt a sour

twinge in his heart.

What Lily gave him that day was a very vivid lesson that forced him to realize the cruel reality of society!

“Enough, | don’t want to hear your arguments!” Ariel interrupted Leon's words with a wave of her hand and did

not take kindly to his vile conduct.

“Now that the truth has cto light, it’s clear that Leon

committed a serious violation of the company’s rules and regulations, in addition to injuring several of our

people. It’s only right that he should be fired immediately...” Joseph said coldly.

“This was all just a minor misunderstanding. Leon will apologize to you and the matter will be put to rest!” Ariel

said curtly.

Leon was yet to answer when Joseph expressed his unhappiness. “Just an apology? That's not enough! He hit me

and injured me! And you're just going to overlook all that as long as he apologizes to me? | won't accept it!”

Ariel glanced intently at Joseph. “What do you want then?

“I want him fired and handed over to the police!” Joseph demanded.

“Mister Conrad, while there’s no denying that you're injured, Leon’s hand is injured too. This situation went out of

control, and you-as the head of the president's department—are responsible to sextent as well. I'll ask Leon

to apologize, so just accept his apology for my sake. Shake hands with him, make peace, and just let bygones be

bygones! As for your injury and medical expenses, the company will bear the full cost.”

Ariel frowned and said in a negotiating tone.

She knew that Leon was Iris’s savior, so even if it was all Leon’s fault, Iris would never fire him, much less agree

hand him over to the police!

Besides, Leon was not all to blfor what happened, because Joseph indisputably instructed the security

guards to beat Leon up.

Leon only wounded them out of self-defense.

With the situation coming to a head, both parties were equally responsible.

Ariel wanted to mediate the situation to downplay the whole issue and resolve it quickly.

By then, Ariel gradually calmed down and stopped acting on impulse.
