From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 171

Leonard took Marianna back to the hotel.

After Eileen saw that scene, she vaguely guessed something.

Eileen had noticed Marianna’s abnormality before and suspected that the Rodgers family might force Marianna to do something she didn’t want.

It was obviously not so easy for Leonard to take Marianna away from the Rodgers family.

Since Leonard appeared in the hotel with Marianna, it showed that Leonard had won that confrontation.

“Leonard, how many means have you hidden?” Eileen thought to herself.

At the same time, when Eileen looked at Marianna and Leonard holding hands, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

“Eileen, didn’t you go out for a walk today?”

Marianna did not realize until now that Leonard was still holding her hand, so she hurriedly withdrew her hand from Leonard’s palm and came to Eileen.

“Eileen, I am going back to Newden with you this time. Thank you in advance for your help in the future.”

“You are welcome. We are friends. If you have any trouble, just come to me directly.”

Eileen said.

She thought, “Sure enough, Marianna’s relationship with her family broke down.”

“I’m going back to Newden this afternoon. Yannick, do less immoral things in the future, and don’t bully simple people. If you want to bully someone, it is only reasonable to bully a big family like the Rodgers family.”

Hearing Leonard’s words, Yannick nodded hurriedly.

Next to them, Marianna and Eileen were speechless.

It was embarrassing that Leonard said such things to Yannick in front of them.

“Mr. Santos, I didn’t treat you well this time when you came to Parasoly. I originally wanted to introduce you to a few prostitutes, but looking at the two people around you, I’m afraid you don’t like those commonplace women. I’ll send you this Mercedes-Benz. Do you like it?”

Leonard shook his head. “Thanks, but your car is too dazzling, and I don’t like it very much.”

“Mr. Santos, I know you are low-key, so I prepared multiple options for you.”

As Yannick spoke, he opened the hotel window facing the parking lot.

Yannick pointed downstairs.

They saw a row of luxury cars parked in the parking lot, all brand new, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Maserati, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley.

“Mr. Santos, please choose one.”

Leonard looked a little dumbfounded.

Eileen and Marianna were a little speechless next to them. They thought, ‘Yannick really spent a lot of money to please

Leonard.

These cars look like they are newly purchased because they all have temporary license plates.

“Mr. Santos, if you refuse, you must be dissatisfied with me.”

Yannick looked at Leonard plaintively.

Leonard suddenly got goosebumps when being looked at by a six-foot strong man with such eyes as a martyred wife.

Leonard pointed to one at random. “That one.”

“Okay, I’ll ask my subordinate to bring the key to the Rolls-Royce immediately.”

Yannick said excitedly.

“What I pointed to is that Audi…”

Before Leonard finished speaking, Yannick hurriedly ran out of the door.

“They all went out for a walk today Let’s also stroll around Parasoly in the afternoon and return to Newden tomorrow.”

Eileen suggested.

12.00

Leonard was about to nod, but the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

It was from Barrett.

“Mr. Santos, where are you now? Something happened in the institute.”

On the phone, Barrett’s tone was full of anxiety.

“What happened?”

Leonard couldn’t help but also become anxious.

He thought, “Barrett calls me must be related to the Elixir of Longevity.”

As expected, on the other end of the phone, Barrett said, “The samples and information of Elixir of Longevity are lost. Please come quickly. I don’t know what to do.”

“Don’t be anxious. Hold on. I’ll rush over right away.”

Leonard comforted Barrett for a few words. After hanging up the phone, he saw Yannick walk up with the key in time. Leonard took the key from Yannick’s hand and said to Eileen, “I have something urgent and must rush to Blueville now.” After saying that, he didn’t have time to explain anything else, and he rushed out of the door, arrived at the parking lot, and drove off.

Four hours later, Leonard arrived at Barrett Institute, Gilles Street.

Leonard braked suddenly and stopped the car.

Walking into the research room, he saw Barrett and several researchers, all with sad faces, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Seeing Leonard, Barrett lowered his head and said, “Mr. Santos, I’m incompetent.”

Léonard gave

him such a valuable thing for research, but he lost the information. That was all due to his negligence. He felt he was very incompetent, and he felt guilty about Leonard.

“You don’t have to blame yourself. Those things are not so important. Tell me what happened.”

“Yesterday, since everyone had been busy for a long time, Aria suggested we go for a meal to relax. Unexpectedly, everyone drank too much and slept until almost noon. We found all the information lost when we came to the research room.”

“Aria? Who is Aria?”

Leonard frowned, and his eyes showed a bit of coldness.

He thought, “Just when they ate together, the information was lost. How could such a coincidence happen?”

“Aria is my female assistant whom you met last time.”

Barrett said.

“She must have stolen those things. She didn’t answer my calls after I came to the research room today. I went to her home but found no one there.

“Besides, the institute has several layers of security doors, and only insiders can open them.”

“I remember she is your favorite student. How could she betray you?”

Leonard asked.

Barrett shook his head with a look of pain on his face.

“I didn’t expect that. I originally planned to train her to be my successor.

“I brought her with me in every experiment. I trusted her, so she knew all the passwords in the institute. I didn’t she would do such a thing.”

Leonard fell into silence.

expect

that

“Sure enough, there is a mole.”

Leonard remembered that Aria’s eyes lit up when she heard about the prescription the last time he was in the research

institute.

He thought she was just amazed at the magical function of that elixir, but now it seemed that she was probably greedy to get it at that time.

“Cats hide their claws!

“However, does she think it is so easy to steal my thing?”

There was a hint of coldness in Leonard’s eyes.
