CHAPTER 399: CHAPTER 399: LIFE DOESN’T OFFER SECOND CHANCES

Seeing Leon Keane’s "innocent face," Ivana Monroe’s face turned even redder. Wasn’t what she said clear enough? With Leon Keane’s intelligence, he should be able to understand, right?

He must be doing it on purpose.

Leon Keane saw Ivana Monroe’s cheeks turn red, like a shy peach blossom, her eyes blazing with fire.

Leon Keane suddenly understood, realizing the meaning behind Ivana Monroe’s words.

Leon Keane smiled, reached out to embrace Ivana Monroe, his thin lips close to her ear, whispering, "Wifey, are you talking about the tender care your husband gives you at night? Ha... Don’t worry, that kind of thing is just between us; no one else will know. Because when you moved into this hospital room, I had the head of the hospital turn off the surveillance. I only had the surveillance turned back on after I dropped the kids at school today."

The purpose was to protect Ivana Monroe.

If anything happened in the hospital room, someone would notify him immediately.

While he was on the road today, his bodyguard called him, saying his mother had arrived, and the hospital surveillance room also called him.

Ivana Monroe felt her ears tickled by his warm breath. After hearing his words, she looked at him suspiciously, "Really?"

Leon Keane said, "More true than gold. Otherwise, how could I dare to act like that toward you in the hospital? I don’t have a dubious hobby of being watched by others."

Ivana Monroe believed Leon Keane; he wasn’t that kind of person.

Feeling they were too close, Leon Keane’s gaze almost transformed in nature while looking at her.

She blushed and pushed him away slightly, whispering, "Don’t hold me so tight. Aunt Golding is here! Let go of me."

"Okay."

Leon Keane agreed readily.

As he let go of Ivana Monroe, he stole a kiss on her cheek.

Ivana Monroe’s face turned bright red instantly.

Leon Keane opened his phone video, just as he said, the content showed shortly after he had dropped the kids at school. It started with fast playback for about a minute, revealing the scene where his mother and two maids came to her hospital room, and at this point, the video switched to normal playback.

They watched for a full half hour.

The truth was evident.

Leon Keane’s handsome face was cold as the devil; he felt a flicker of disappointment toward his mother. She had agreed to accept Ivana Monroe as her daughter-in-law but broke her promise soon after and did something like this.

Leon Keane saw Auntie Chamberlain push his mother down at the end, and Ivana Monroe immediately sent the bodyguards to call the doctors and then had Aunt Golding come over to stop his mother from getting up.

His mother’s life... was saved by Ivana Monroe.

"Wifey, the Kane family owes you a life," Leon Keane said hoarsely.

Huh?

What?

Ivana Monroe was puzzled, what did he mean the Kane family owed her a life?

Ivana Monroe rolled her eyes at Leon Keane, "Don’t go on about owing me a life. As long as your mother doesn’t come to bother me anymore, I’ll burn incense and thank heaven and earth."

"She won’t. From now on, my mother won’t bother you anymore."

"That’s what you said... What if she comes and bothers me again in the future?"

Leon Keane thought seriously.

"Whatever you say, we’ll do it," Leon Keane was ready to take Ivana Monroe and the two kids away from his mother.

Who knew...

"Then a divorce immediately," Ivana Monroe said decisively.

Leon Keane’s handsome face darkened, "No way."

Divorce is absolutely unacceptable.

"Ha... Men..."

Didn’t he say whatever she wanted they’d do? Why change his mind so quickly?

"Anything but divorce, I can promise you," Leon Keane said again.

"Then fine! We’ll separate."

"You..."

Leon Keane was infuriated by Ivana Monroe, either divorce or separate, did she just not want to be with him?

"What about me?"

"You’re being unreasonable. If your mind’s preoccupied with leaving me, then forget it, I’m taking back what I said."

"..." Ivana Monroe was speechless.

~~

Aunt Lee was tied up, lying on the ground with her face covered in blood, looking as if she could die at any moment.

The sound of leather shoes stepping on floor tiles echoed.

Aunt Lee slowly raised her head; suddenly a phone was tossed over, playing a recording of Aunt Lee’s instigating words.

"Hit her, just hit her, don’t be afraid of her, what does she count for? How dare she tell servants to lay hands on Madam, such people deserve to be hit."

Aunt Lee turned pale, her eyes lingering on the video playing on the phone, showing everything that happened in Ivana Monroe’s hospital room.

It was over, finished...

Aunt Lee’s body started shaking, a pair of elegant black leather shoes appeared next to the phone, Aunt Lee was trembling even more violently.

"President Kane, I know I was wrong, forgive me this once, please! I’ve already been punished by Ivana Monroe hitting my head, please, boo hoo hoo..."

"Throw her into the sea."

Leon Keane’s eyes were cold, his words like those of a ruthless demon.

Into the sea?

Aunt Lee was utterly petrified; she didn’t expect Leon Keane would be so merciless, directly wanting her life!

"President Kane... You can’t do this... Killing is..." Aunt Lee’s wretched cries were muffled by the bodyguard’s hand.

Leon Keane didn’t spare Aunt Lee a glance, turning to return to the hospital room.

"Save your strength! If President Kane wants you dead today, you won’t see tomorrow."

The bodyguard hoisted Aunt Lee over his shoulder, taking her into the car, driving towards the sea.

Aunt Lee’s mouth was taped shut, unable to scream for help, tears streaming down her face as terror overtook her, regret filling her heart. She never imagined that after instigating Ian Keane with Auntie Chamberlain to come looking for trouble, she’d end up here.

If she had known this would be her fate, she would’ve never set foot here.

She might have advised his mother to get along well with Ivana Monroe.

But alas, it’s too late to regret; life offers no do-overs.

The car reached the seashore.

The bodyguard dragged Aunt Lee out of the car, putting her over the shoulder again.

Crashing waves sounded endlessly, boundlessly.

Aunt Lee’s eyes were swollen from crying, feeling herself brush closely past death.

"Next life, be reincarnated as a kind person."

The bodyguard set Aunt Lee down, said these words to her, and then lifted her again... throwing her towards the sea.

Aunt Lee was so scared her eyes rolled back, fainting.

"Scared so easily, how useless."

The bodyguard hadn’t thrown Aunt Lee into the sea.

President Kane didn’t really want to kill Aunt Lee either; he merely left strict orders to frighten her, teaching her a profound lesson.

After this experience, Aunt Lee would never dare to provoke gossip or talk nonsense again.

The bodyguard took Aunt Lee back to the hospital, handing her over to the doctors, helping treat her head injury.

Ivana Monroe scanned her completed design sketch into the computer. After saving it, she opened Weibo, clicked in to have a look, and was stunned.

Leon Keane went to the restroom, and upon coming out, he saw Ivana Monroe staring at the computer in a daze. His heart suddenly sank, striding over to reach for the computer.

Ivana Monroe suddenly grabbed his hand, "Something happened at GK."
