A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 372

Chapter 372 It’s Not Because of the Inheritance

In the VIP room, the three of them continued drinking, and no one asked about Ashton. It was as though nothing had happened earlier.

Toby had already donned his signature smile as he strode to Leo and sat beside him. Then, he picked up a glass of wine in front of him and started drinking.

As Toby knew about the situation in Leo’s family, something popped into his mind, and he asked after finishing half of the wine in his glass, “I heard that Chandler is back. Is that true?”

Leo merely grunted in reply, “Yeah.” But there was no emotion in his voice.

Louie shot him a look from the other side of the room, signaling him not to speak more on the topic.

Everyone present knew that it was almost impossible for Leo to have a cornea change back when he lost his sight because of his body’s unique condition.

At that time, Chandler was placed as the next heir of Genesis with the help of Melissa, who seemed to have abandoned Leo.

Although the mastermind behind the heir change incident was Melissa, Chandler’s name was still Leo’s biggest shame and pain as it reminded him of his dark past.

Since Josiah and Louie had important things to do the next day and had to start the day early, they didn’t hang around for long and left after a few drinks.

The only ones left were Leo and Toby, who was lightly holding the glass in his hand as he kept his eyes glued on Leo the entire time while silently observing him.

Leo had been drinking quietly since arriving, looking serious and depressed the entire night.

Although he had always been a man of few words, he spoke even less now.

“Leo, I met Amelie today,” Toby started.

Leo’s hand that was holding the wine glass froze briefly before he mumbled a curt reply and continued drinking.
