Lyn and Lyle never had a problem.
At this moment, listening to his blatant sarcasm, Lyn's eyes turned red with anger.
However, due to the presence of the two elders, she did not dare to attack so easily.
Lyle saw the woman's patience, sneered, and continued to add fuel to the fire. "By the way, I heard that your cruise ship caught fire two days ago. Have you finished this case?"
"Lyle, Lyn is your future sister-in-law, don't be so rude!" Michelle warned.
Hearing this, Lyle curled up. "Future sister-in-law? Who can predict the future? As long as she is not married to my brother, we should not open the door to our house for her. She is an eyesore."
Lyn. "…"
"Lyle, you..." Michelle was already feeling a headache because of this child, but Leonhart rubbed his brows. "Alright that's enough."
Lyle blinked, and this little man walked over to take a seat beside Leonard.
He glanced at the untouched teacup on the table, picked it up, and handed it to Leonard. "Brother, have some tea."
His eldest brother is now blind.
Today, the weather is hot and dry, so maybe this brother has been thirsty for a long time.
Leonard took the teacup and took a light sip, and continued to mock Lyn."Speaking of a future wife, she doesn't even realize that my brother is thirsty!"
Lyn was very embarrassed after being repeatedly attacked.
Lyn bit the corner of her mouth, then looked at Leonard who was drinking tea with sad eyes. "Leonard, I'm sorry, I..."
"What's the use of apologizing? This is the Adler family, and what you did just now is no longer worthy of being considered my brother's future wife!"
"Lyle, shut your mouth!" In front of everyone, Lyle's words towards Lyn made Michelle very unhappy.
She patted the table beside her and scolded him with a calm face.
Lyle shrank his neck, leaned back in the chair, and mumbled. "I doubt that you really are the daughter of the dignified Graham family."
Leonhart heard Lyle's muttering, and he continued drinking his tea as if he didn't care.
Michelle was already fuming with irritation, she suddenly sighed, and said to Leonhart beside her, "My dear, I have something I want to talk to you."
"Alright, we better talk in the backyard."
Leonhart put down his teacup. He then got up and went to the backyard of the Flower Hall. As he walked to the door he looked behind him and said, "You guys wait here."
"Okay, hurry back!" Lyle stood facing the door and waved.
Leonhart shook his head helplessly, and went to the pavilion in the backyard with Michelle.
Under the four corner pavilion, Michelle stood in front of Leonhart. "Why did you postpone the wedding in front of Lyn? Can't you see she wants to cry? As for Lyle, he openly mocked her sister-in-law, this clearly has hurt Lyn's heart."
At this moment, Leonhart stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the graceful and capable woman in front of him, and he sighed. "I understand your concern. Now, you better rest because you must be tired."
Michelle's eyes flickered, staring at Leonhart in disbelief.
Even after more than thirty years, in her eyes, the man in front of her still looked like the person she was obsessed with back then.
"Lyn is the chosen fiancée for Leonard. In this entire city, only Lyn deserves to be by our son's side. The wedding has been postponed, how can you leave this girl when she has to face everyone's doubt?"
Michelle softened her tone, trying to persuade Leonhart to change his mind.
Leonhart slowly turned his head to look at the green plantation outside the pavilion. "Perhaps the only person worthy of Leonard in this town is Lyn. But outside the city of Bandung? She's not the only candidate. How do you think Lyn passed the Adler family's exam, are you sure she didn't do something?"
Michelle's expression changed drastically after hearing it.
She looked at Leonhart's back frantically, and didn't know how to speak.
After a long silence, Leonhart turned again and looked at Michelle. "I can understand that you like Lyn. But what you have done is not worthy of the Adler family's wife when you disclosed the details of the assessment to her."
Michelle frowned in confusion. "You… know about it?"
"I don't know, but there are a few things that went unanswered after some investigation and surveillance. I can understand you to help her, but don't you ever think that Leonard is incompetent."
Leonhart's reminder made Michelle blink. "I'm doing this simply because I want him to return to our house as soon as possible. Besides, Lyn has good skills and can definitely be a good help to Leonard."
Michelle's explanation didn't make Leonhart smile any more.
He shook his head slightly, turned away from Michelle, looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Leonard's choices are never limited to this city only. No matter how much you love Lyn, her qualities are not worthy of being the wife of the Adler family. She does have abilities, but what about her nature? I know that you also understand the answer!"
Michelle looked disapproving, she immediately objected. "The standards for the future wife of the Adler family are very high, it's impossible to find a candidate as good as Lyn outside of this city! Even if you don't think her abilities are enough, there's no woman more worthy than her! At this rate, you won't be able to find a woman as Leonard's wife!"
These words made Leonhart smile deeply. "Aren't you also from outside Bandung? Why was I able to do it then, but not for my son?"
Michelle was speechless.
She looked at Leonhart's back, with mixed feelings in her heart.
After all these years, she still seems to be pondering about what happened back then.
It is said that the patriarch and the wife of the Adler family have joined hands for years, and their love is very strong.
In fact, only she herself knows how many methods she used to make herself the wife of the Adler family.
And this also causes them to look like the perfect couple on the surface, but in reality… the man doesn't love her.
It's just that… It's been so long, and the reluctance has long since vanished.
They met each other and reached the top together. In the end, it was entirely a responsibility, but the man never had feelings for her.
Michelle's hazy eyes gradually began to laugh at herself.
Leonhart sighed softly, he slowly turned around, and ran into Michelle's somewhat sad face. "I know you don't like Leonard, but since I made a decision back then, you should know that I will definitely make him as the heir to the Adler family."
"You must also know that Lyn doesn't meet the requirements of being the Patriarch's wife. If you can't be fair, it's better for you to never take care of our child's marriage again."
Michelle's face was pale, and the corners of her mouth whispered, "Am I not good enough for Leonard?"
"If you were nice to him, you wouldn't have forced him to choose Lyn. If you were nice to him, you wouldn't have made him leave Bandung and go to Jakarta that time. The Adler family occupies the top of the pyramid in Bandung, you don't know how much profit has been lost over the years because Leonard is far from home."
Leonhart's eyes were deep, and there was no warmth in his calm and gloomy pupils.
He looked at Michelle who had lost her grace and demeanor, and sighed.
"Think carefully about yourself. If you still can't really treat Leonard as a potential heir, then you'd better get out of here with Lyle and return to your own family's home!"
