Leonard ignored his surprise, but narrowed his eyes dangerously at Lyle.
In the next second, Lyle immediately sat up straight, looked at Melissa with an indescribable look in his eyes, and said, "Brother-in-law..."
Mellisa couldn't laugh or cry!
He patted the back of Leonard's hand, and when he withdrew his hand, Mellisa reminded him. "Hurry up and tell the truth, don't play around!"
Lyle was surprised to see Mellisa's change in attitude. He then remembered that this one servant dared to oppose Lyn in front of everyone, of course his bravery wasn't something he could question again.
Perhaps his stern attitude had melted his brother's heart!
Leonard smiled at Mellisa and nodded stiffly. "Alright, listen well." As the words fell, he turned his head and looked at the opposite side. "Lyle, tell me, why did you hit Luke that night?"
Lyle said 'Ah', and then lifted his chin and said arrogantly, "I didn't like seeing his face, so I just hit him. I've always found his face unsightly, and my hands were really itchy yesterday, so well... I just hit him."
He said it as if it was perfectly normal!
Leonard sighed and rubbed his brows silently. "Lyle, if you don't tell the truth, you will stay here forever!"
Lyle's heart tightened, his eyes swaying. "No, I'll tell you the truth!"
He straightened his posture pretending to confess. "After you left last night, I saw Luke come out. Then I was curious and followed him secretly. When he was outside, he called someone but I didn't know who he was calling. That time, I heard that he said something about the medicine didn't working and his eyes weren't blind."
"After thinking about it for a while, I knew he was talking about you. I got angry and called my friends. Then we beat him."
"Brother, if you don't want to tell me what he has done to you, I can understand it. But when I heard it directly from his mouth, I really couldn't contain my anger. I also happened to dislike him for a long time, so I take this opportunity to teach him a lesson."
Lyle then lowered his head, but faintly glanced at Leonard's reaction.
At this time, Leonard looked at him calmly. "You beat him but you got taken to the police station. Up to this point, don't you know what you did wrong?"
Lyle nodded very seriously. "I know I was wrong."
"What is it?" Leonard asked in a low tone.
Lyle glanced at him and muttered angrily, "I shouldn't have hit him..."
"Wrong!" Leonard said sharply. "It's fine to hit him, but you can't do that in front of other people!"
Hah?!
Mellisa and Lyle looked at Leonard at the same time, very surprised.
Seeing this, Leonard chuckled and leaned back casually on the back of his chair. "Lyle, the dumbest thing to punish your enemy is to beat him with your own hand in public! If you want to teach him a lesson, no matter how angry you were yesterday, you shouldn't have hit him!"
Lyle heaved a sigh of relief, and slumped his shoulders lazily. "Brother, I thought you were angry when you heard me beat Luke!"
"Even if you beat him to death, I won't be angry. Lyle, no matter what you do in the future, you have to think about your identity first. This made our father very angry. After you leave, you should think about how to apologize to him later."
Hearing this, Lyle nodded obediently. "Yeah, I know. Then, let's go now!"
Leonard tapped his finger on the table. "Where are you going? Before this matter is resolved, you will stay here for a while."
"Ah? Brother, didn't you come to pick me up? Are you... just here to visit me?"
Lyle was completely dumbfounded!
Leonard looked at him with an indifferent smile. "To be more precise, this is a family visit in prison. In short, you will stay here for a while, and our parents will not interfere in this matter for now, so... you must obey me. Otherwise, I will not get you out!"
When Leonard left the police station with Mellisa, Lyle stared at their backs from the interrogation room's window with tears in her eyes.
Seeing the two of them about to get into the car, Lyle opened the window and shouted. "Brother, I will be waiting for you, don't forget me..."
Leonard turned around and saw him trying to pop his head out of the frame, so he couldn't help but laugh. "Yes yes!"
Lyle pursed his lips and continued to scream. "Brother-in-law, I'm waiting for you!"
Melissa. "..."
The two then got into the car. Then, Mellisa saw the police station through the window. "I can feel that Lyle really respects you as his older brother."
Leonard said as he fastened his seat belt. "I am his older brother. Even though he's been pampered since he was little, as long as I'm the one who talks to him, he's always been an obedient child."
Melissa smiled meaningfully. "He's a good little brother, you should get him out as soon as possible. In the end, everything he did was because he couldn't accept the fact that you were hurt by Luke."
Leonard glanced at her suspiciously, his lips pursed slightly. "As a sister-in-law, you care too much about him!"
Melissa looked at him helplessly. "Can you please stop talking nonsense? I'm just your personal servant now. If you reveal my identity, aren't you afraid of something happening?"
"No, as long as you don't leave, then there's nothing to be afraid of." Leonard took Mellisa's hand and held it. "Mellisa, I am not that weak. I will protect you with all my soul, so stay by my side forever."
These words are very intimate, like a gentle breeze blowing, and it makes Mellisa feel more comfortable and warm.
...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Leonard reached the beach area after driving approximately 3 hours more.
Looking around , the beach is surrounded by white sands, and villas with beautiful ocean views.
The wooden stair bridge adds a touch of old-fashioned charm to the seaside view.
Standing in the parking lot by the beach, Mellisa looked around and asked in confusion. "Your company is here?"
It seems that this beach is a beautiful resort for leisure and tourism. Did the man open his company here?
Leonard sighed slightly, looked at the beautiful beach in front of him, and whispered, "Most of these beaches are privately owned by my family."
Mellisa was taken aback by this, and faked a smile. "I see...!"
"Let's go and have a look. If you feel that my family's house is too boring, you can come here for a vacation whenever you want!"
Leonard said as he took Mellisa's hand and the two walked side by side on the walkways along the shoreline, feeling the warm breeze.
Mellisa looked at their intertwined palms, and sighed. "Then what do you plan to do next? This time Luke was injured by Lyle, he definitely won't drop this case."
"This is really not easy to solve, Luke won't let this matter go away. Everything… depends on him!" Leonard looked at Melisa meaningfully, and then pointed casually. "Did you see that?"
Mellisa rolled her eyes, and a distant corner of the shoreline was faintly visible. A merchant ship was moored at sea. "What's the matter?"
"This is Queen's Harbor, all imported and exported goods must pass through here!"
Mellisa looked back at his face, and said with a big smile. "You already know the countermeasures."
Leonard pursed his lips faintly, casually replying, "Let's see the results in three days!"
