Chapter 356: HE IS NOT LIKE YOU

Marco walked up to Axcel right after the latter had finished testifying against Leon and said something to him as the man was about to get into the car.

It wasn't clear what Marco said to Axcel, but it managed to make the man widen his eyes in surprise and nod his head obediently. From the expression on his face, it was clear that he was scared.

But then Marco patted his back kindly and smiled at him. He even opened the car door for Axcel and let him get inside first.

Axcel complied, what else could he do? After that, the car drove away from the court premises.

The trial that day lasted almost all day and it was exhausting.

Meanwhile, not far away, Ramon could be seen standing at the exit of the courthouse, while the reporters were waiting outside, hungry for the latest news on the feud between the Tordoffs and the Dawsons.

This was very big news during this time, because recently the Dawson family had a feud with the Smith family, where the case was still ongoing, because the divorce decision between Giana and Aidan was still pending.

They were both very difficult to find and their divorce case took a very long time, because both refused to attend and were only represented by their respective legal representatives.

Before Ramon stepped out of the place, Leon approached him and stood right by his side, while David and two of Ramon's bodyguards immediately tried to keep the man away from him.

However, Ramon raised his hand, indicating that he was okay with this and letting Leon say what he wanted to say.

"I didn't think that we would meet again under these circumstances," Leon said. "So, how is your wife?" There was a sneer in Leon's voice when he asked this.

There was absolutely no way Leon didn't know that Hailee had miscarried after what he had done.

On the other hand, Ramon didn't respond to the question and just stared at him with an expressionless face and this prompted Leon to speak again.

"You don't have to look at me like that. I didn't cause your wife to miscarry," Leon said with a shrug, as if he was completely innocent of what had happened to Hailee.

The same thing was said by Axcel or anyone else involved in the absurdity that day.

But, if no one was responsible for the incident, then who was to blame for the loss that Ramon and Hailee suffered?

Ramon still didn't respond to Leon's words, but he didn't leave either, letting the reporters take photos of this moment.

Camera flashes went off like crazy while they tried to hear what Leon and Ramon were saying, but of course they were stopped very far from them; they couldn't hear a single word.

"Are you done?" asked Ramon when Leon said nothing more and just stared at him. "If you're done talking, I'll leave."

Leon then laughed and shook his head. "You really do look like your father."

Ramon's eyes glinted when he heard this and this didn't go unnoticed by Leon, so he took up the topic to talk to Ramon. "You are very much like your father. Your coldness and that look in your eyes."

And then, Leon started rambling nonsense about how the three of them used to be friends, himself, Lucas and Lis.

Leon started to talk about the past that Ramon didn't know about and also reminisced about the memories of the three of them. Lis never said this to Ramon.

Not only that, Leon even started making some kind of crazy list about Ramon that reminded him so much of Lucas, how much they looked alike, what were their similarities and so on.

"Yeah, you two are very similar, cold and not very social," Leon said.

And this time, Ramon responded to it. "Yeah, and Lexus doesn't look like you at all. Lexus is very grateful for that."

Ramon knew what he had to say to leave a desirable impact on Leon, and he said exactly that.

Because after that, Leon's facial expression changed and this made Ramon smile, not the kind of smile that would make you feel like smiling too, but the kind of smile that would leave you fuming mad.

"Lexus told me himself that he really hates the fact that you are his father." Ramon looked at Leon with scornful eyes. "He likes it better to think that Lucas is his dad and I'm quite happy to share a dad with him."

This time, Leon clenched his fists as his jaw tensed, as if he would punch Ramon if the man in front of him spoke one more word.

Lexus was his soft spot and he couldn't help but feel infuriated when Ramon discussed his only son.

"You'll see how Lexus turns against you," Leon said.

"Just like you betrayed my father?" Ramon raised his eyebrows when he asked this. "I do not think so. Haven't I told you, that he doesn't look like you at all?"

"You won't know until that happens," Leon said sarcastically and Ramon just smiled.

"I'm pretty good at judging a person's character." Ramon's eyes then shifted toward the person behind Leon for a moment. "And you're as stupid as your niece."

Ramon said this, indicating the fact that he managed to get Giana to tell him everything about Leon and made Leon think that he had fallen into his trap and actually had genuine feelings for Giana.

The fact that Ramon asked Giana to divorce Aidan of course couldn't be separated from his desire to ruin the relationship between the two big families, because to deal with the two families, it would take too much energy while it would be easier to face them one by one.

And now, Giana was doing it herself even when Ramon lost his memory, didn't that mean his plan was going smoothly?

It was Giana herself who asked for the termination of the collaboration between the two families and caused the initially very strong relationship to split and caused many problems to arise in both companies.

This was an advantage to Ramon, given that he also owned shares in both companies.

Perhaps, if there was one thing that didn't change about Ramon, it was the fact that he would always make the most of everything that happened.

And approaching Giana, bringing her to her knees, brought him many advantages.

Well, that was before he met Hailee… but, come to think of it, Ramon also approached Hailee with the same goal in the first place, before he discovered how unique his wife was and found himself completely addicted to her presence.

"Enjoy your time while you can," Ramon said with a smile on the corners of his lips, then walked away, while David and a few other bodyguards cleared the way for Ramon from the reporters' 'ambush'.

On the other hand, Giana quickened her pace, but didn't manage to get to Ramon and couldn't reveal her intentions in front of the media personnel who were so wild to get a piece of news they could make headlines.

"What did he say?" Giana asked Leon.

However, Leon didn't answer her and instead walked away. He was not arrested, due to the influence of the Dawson family and several supporting factors behind him, but Leon had to report every day.

And that was something he didn't like, especially when he was acutely aware of the feelings Giana had for Ramon which made it difficult for him to bring him down.

Giana often procrastinated on things Leon asked for and this made the man angry.

In the game of feelings played by Giana and Ramon for two years, of course whoever fell in love first, should be declared as the loser.

And as Ramon said, not only did Giana lose, but she was stupid too…

================

Today had been a tiring day for Candice, but remembering that there were still a few loyal reporters waiting for her in the parking lot made her grumble again. How could they be so patiently waiting for her when she had even stated clearly that she had no relationship with Lexus Tordoff?

Well, it did look fun when you were associated with someone like Lexus Tordoff, but really, it was disrupting Candice's life, even her family asked for the truth and tended to be disappointed when she said they were all just rumors and didn't have any truth to them.

After all, who wouldn't want to be related to the Tordoffs?

Just when Candice was about to walk to her car, four journalists immediately approached her. They had been waiting for her there because Candice's work schedule was so predictable.

Unfortunately again, out of frustration, Candice dropped her car keys, preventing her from escaping in time, so the four reporters managed to swarm her before she could get into the car.

"I don't have anything to do with Lexus Tordoff," Candice grumbled, repeating the same line. She had absolutely no idea how to deal with these people.

"But, you spent a night with Lexus Tordoff, it's impossible not to have any relationship," said one of the female journalists.

When Candice heard this, her eyes widened in shock, where else would such a lie come from?

"You're intruding on her privacy," said a male voice, which automatically made the five people there turn their attention to him.

And there, not far from them, the figure of Lexus Tordoff that was being talked about, was walking toward Candice with several bodyguards behind him.

Candice almost had a heart attack when she saw Lexus. Ugh! His arrival would only make matters worse!
