Chapter 1017
Leon grabbed her hand and said shamelessly, “Cynthia, if you believe me now, can you give me the Panax?"
"No way! I said no!" He snorted and pulled her hand away from his grip.
"Why not?" His jaw dropped. He thought that he managed to appease her anger, but women were simply far to
read and he underestimated how angry she was.
"I'm upset that all you think of is Iris! Is there a problem?!" Cynthia said wilfully.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"But," Leon widened his eyes, “Cynthia, why would you do this to yourself? You know better than anyone that I love
Iris and if possible, I would much rather be your friend forever," Leon sighed and said.
He felt conflicted in the face of Cynthia's love toward him.
Though Iris gave Cynthia a chance and he did have feelings for Cynthia, he already had Iris and could not possibly
make Cynthia happy.
Leon was not a selfish man and if he could not give her his promise, he should let go of her as soon as possible so
that she would not waste her youth waiting on him.
He was willing to see Cynthia as his best friend, but deep down, he wished that Cynthia could eradicate the
romantic feelings she had for him and find her own true love.
He did not want Cynthia to spend the rest of her life waiting for him to reciprocate her feelings.
"No way! Leon, I know that you're in love with Iris, but she;s already given me a chance to win you over. I won't
ever give up!” Cynthia said with determination.
Both Iris and Cynthia were waiting for the other one to cave and back away and the one who persevered won.
Naturally, if neither of them was willing to give up, they would continue to fight over Leon.
Since Iris agreed to it and Cynthia also accepted the current situation, Leon's opinion did not matter to them since
they reached a consensus.

He repeatedly told Cynthia that it was Iris he loved and he rejected Cynthia countless times so that she would not
waste her time with him, but Cynthia refused to give up no matter what and there was nothing he could do.
"Forget it! Whatever," He muttered with resignation.
"Damn you, Leon. My mood was kind of improving just now and now I'm more upset than ever because of you!
Forget about the Panax. Go running back to your Iris. I don't want to see you!" Cynthia said angrily.
"Don't say that!" Leon was startled when he remembered that he was here for the Panax, not to reject Cynthia.
Cynthia was always soft-hearted and he knew that she merely vented her frustration and all it took was for him to
cheer her up.
