She Got A Better Man

Elvira's eyes widened in shock. "Have you been stalking me all this time?"

Leonard nearly spat out his water and quickly corrected her, "It protection Protection!"

"It's still stalking! Just admit it-what's your real motive?" Elvira glared at him, clearly displeased. Anyone would be upset knowing they were being followed constantly, leaving her no sense of privacy

"If I said I had no ulterior motive and just wanted to resolve the grudge between your husband and me, would you believe it Leonard replied, looking at her with a hint of helplessness.

"If you want to resolve things with him, go find hind Why are you following me? Elvira shot him a displeased glare.

"If I followed him, wouldn't that just cause trouble? You're the person he cares about most. If I could save you a few times by chance, wouldn't that lessen his hostility toward me and my family?" Leonard explained Elvira looked at him with disdain. "If you truly want to resolve things with my husband, you shouldn't be putting in effort on our side. It would be best if you focused on your parents and those bizarre siblings of yours. Maybe get them to act normally instead of constantly scheming against others!"

Leonard was momentarily speechless. Surprisingly, he found her words quite reasonable. "If I could change them, would I need to do this? Besides, I'm just repaying a favor. You saved me, so protecting you is the least I can do," he said with a dismissive wave. Elvira looked at Leonard's casual demeanor, feeling a chill in her heart. She had no shortage of bodyguards, and they were far from incompetent. Yet, none of them had noticed someone following her all this time. It was clear that Leonard was no ordinary man. Leonard didn't seem to harbor ill intent for now and had even saved her once. She thought, 'But what if he were a villain? What if he did have malicious intent? Wouldn't I have already been captured and at his mercy? The thought alone sent a shiver down her spine. "What's with that look? What kind of person do you think I am? Leonard instantly bristled, not needing to guess to know she wasn't thinking anything good about him.

"What look? What do you expect me to think? Aren't you here to tell me about the assailant? If you have no ulterior motive, go ahead and tell me now," Elvira said, forcing a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

Leonard stared at her, clearly irritated by her gaze, but he still spoke. "The assailant is targeting Zach."

"What? Are you saying Zach is in danger?" Elvira immediately gasped in shock.

"They couldn't get to him, so they went after you instead," Leonard said, looking at her with sympathy. "If you want to stay alive, it's better to distance yourself from Zach."

Elvira stared at Leonard, clearly shocked by the turn of events. What do you mean by that?" she asked, confused. 'Are you saying he has too many bodyguards?"

She thought, "Why couldn't they go after Zach and have to target me instead?

"You usually serni pretty smart, so why are you acting so dumb now?" Leonard said, shaking his head. "It's not that they can't kill him. It's that they can't. Zach is important, but you..."

Leonard didn't finish the sentence, but his meaning was clear. It she stayed with Zach, another attempt on her life could very well follow.

"This matter hasn't been discovered by Zach yet," Elvira quickly urged Leonard. "Help me make sure he never digs too deep Tue, Dec

into it. He must never find out about this." She believed that since he had already uncovered so much, he could handle what she asked.

Leonard was taken aback by her words, staring at her in disbelie"What do you mean? If he finds out, he can protect you better. Why wouldn't you want him to investigate?"

"I can't let him know I was hurt because of him. Let him think it was the Miller family who sent someone after me. Otherwise, he'll feel more guilt and pain. You've always protected me, right? Keep doing that. I'll pay you to do it. Name your price-I think you're quite capable." Elvira thought it thoroughly; she understood how much Zach layed her. If he found out that his presence danger, he would be filled with unbearable guilt and regret. She didn't want that to happen.

Leonard was somewhat confused, struggling to understand her reasoning. "Do you think I have that much free time? I'm busy. I'm about to go abroad and have things to take care of. I don't..." *20 thousand dollars! Per month!" Elvira felt that offering this amount was quite generous.

"An ordinary bodyguard charges at least 20 thousand a month, and you're offering me that?" Leonard crossed his arms, his tone full of pride. "Do you think I'm just any bodyguard?" "You're so great, yet you still got injured and almost died." Elvira retorted mercilessly, causing him to blush with embarrassment.

That happened for a reason! Things are never as simple as they seem!" Leonard immediately retorted.

Then how about 40 thousand dollars? Alright, 100 thousand dollars? I can't go higher. I'm short on cash right now. The movie I invested in is draining my funds!" Elvira said, feeling the sting of it.

"Fine, 100 thousand dollars it is. It is a special rate; I'll only do it for two months. We'll talk about the rest later. Now, transfer the money, Leonard said, pulling out his phone to show his account number.

Elvira winced at the thought, glaring at him. "Didn't you say you wanted to fix things with my husband? You never asked for money before."novelbin

"I don't ask for money, and you think I'm worthless. Stop stalling and pay up," Leonard insisted, bringing his phone closer. Feeling helpless, Elvira reluctantly transferred 200 thousand dollars-A hefty sum that pained her.

"If I weren't taking your money, I'd still arrange for someone to protect you. Don't worry, Leonard explained.

Elvira was left speechless, thinking she could thank him well.

"Your husband truly loves you and is going all out against the Miller family, but as for Carmen, I think you should still be cautious. Do you believe everything that's happened is just a coincidence? Leonard raised an eyebrow as he looked at her.

"That's none of your business. I can handle it myself," Elvira replied. Her mind was still on the 200 thousand dollars he had taken, still feeling pain. "If you're done, then leave."

"Come on, you're a billionaire, right?" Leonard suggested. "If you're willing to divorce Zach, you could walk away with billions in assets, and you'd be the wealthiest person."

"Get lost! Mind your own business! I'm not divorcing my husband! Elvira shot him a glare. "The door's over there, don't let me show you qui."

Leonard grabbed an orange, waved at her, and left. After he was gone, Elvira fell into deep thought again. She had a hunch that Carmen had done it intentionally, using Zach to target the Miller family. She hadn't said anything because she didn't want to put Zach in a difficult position.
