Chapter 156 It Won't Happen
Lia grabbed the takeout and started eating without a second thought. Bella sat down next to Diane and asked in
a low voice, "What's going on? Why do you want her to leave Joville?"
Diane sighed. "Do you think | want to? | suspect Leonard might have feelings for your friend. | don't mind if he
marries an ordinary woman, and if he wants to marry her, I'll be happy for him.
"But his father won't allow it. For your friend's safety and future, it's better to nip this in the bud. I noticed
something was off when Leonard, who's always been into fighting and sports, suddenly got interested in wood
carving.

"| did sdigging and found out he placed two orders with this studio. Also, when your friend grabbed his tie
that day at the office, he didn't even fight back. | knew something was
up.”
Bella was speechless. She had never seen any sign that Leonard liked Lia. It didn't make any sense. How could
there be feelings between them when they had only met a few times and things were always tense between
them? Not to mention the two orders... So, the money Lia made from her last trip was actually from
Leonard...
Seeing Bella stay quiet, Diane assumed she was upset. She explained herself, "Bella, please don't think badly of
me. I'm really looking out for your friend. In families like ours, marriage isn't something you get to decide on your
own. Leonard's two older brothers won't be any different.
"Although | brought him into our family, he's not Truman's biological son. And because our family treats him so
well despite that, he can't afford to live recklessly.
"You have no idea how complicated things are in our family. Leonard's second brother had someone he loved
before he got married, but Truman tore them apart. In the end, his brother had to give in.
"That woman... didn't fare well after that. | couldn't do anything to help her... | just don't want your friend to go
through that. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Bella shivered just hearing the story. "Mrs. Sawyer, you don't have to worry. As for now, Lia. doesn't like Leonard
at all. If anything, they act more like enemies, You don't have to make her Jeave Joville. As long as Leonard
doesn't bother her again, nothing will happen." Diane sighed. "If that's the case, I'll trust your judgment. I'm not
unreasonable; it's just my troublemaker son who started this. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
After seeing Diane out, Bella felt a wave of dread wash over her. Looking over at Lia, who was happily devouring
her food without a care in the world, she walked over and gave her a light

"All you do is eat! Tell me, have you had any contact with Leonard when | wasn't around?"
Clutching her head, Lia looked at Bella with a mix of confusion and indignation. "What are you talking about? I've
been avoiding him like the plague! The first t| met him was at
Dominic's place. Then, we bumped into each other again at dinner when he was with Amber and Dominic.
"After that, we had that huge argument, | cursed him out, and he started messing with me. | went to his office,
found out he placed those orders, and now, here we are."
Bella breathed a small sigh of relief and asked, "So, how do you feel about Leonard now?"
Lia rolled her eyes and said, "How do | feel? | hate him, obviously! He's a jerk, plain and simple. What else could |
possibly feel? His mom's nice, though. She even offered to helpstart a company, but I don't want to leave
Joville... Wait, where did she go?" Bella waved her hand dismissively. "Don't worry about it. I turned her down for
you because | know you don't want to leave. Just promiseone thing... don't fall for Leonard. Seriously,
don't."
Lia burst out laughing as if Bella had just told the funniest joke in the world. "Me? Fall for him? He may be
handsome, but a man can't rely just on physical appearance alone. "Also, | don't care about his money. | can
support myself. Bella, the only thing | want is to tear him to pieces!"
