Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 239

"We ought to pick up Leo first and have him apologize at the hospital."

Susan responded immediately, "Alright, let's get going."

As Daly and Susan were about to head out, they turned to Olivia. "Oli, you coming with us?"

Olivia, with a sour look on her face, retorted, "Why should I care about that good-for-nothing Leo?"

Susan looked somewhat embarrassed at this but didn't refute. Listening on the side, Maja felt a spark of anger but knew she couldn't intervene in the family business.

When she arrived at the police station with Daly and Susan, they could hear Leo wailing even before they stepped in. Hearing this, Susan felt a knot in her stomach. They walked into the lobby to see Leo severely beaten, probably by some brutes on the way to the station. He looked a sorry sight.

"Leo, how are you?" Susan hurried over and took Leo's hand.

Leo looked helpless and burst into tears.

"Mom, can you get Maja to help me out? I really don't want to go to jail. I know I messed up."

Following behind Susan, Maja didn't feel Leo was truly remorseful, just scared. Who knows how many beatings he'd get if he really ended up behind bars.

Leo was sobbing pitifully. At the sight of Maja, he almost seemed ready to kneel. "Maja, we used to live in the same house. Please help me out. We're cousins after all."

Maja had long known Leo was a deadbeat with no dignity. Seeing him like this, she felt irritated.

"Now you regret it, huh? Then why did you start the fight?"

Confronted with this question, Leo's crying halted.

Maja snorted, "Still don't want to talk? Then enjoy a few years in jail. I'm done with this."

Leo froze, his face full of anger, "Once money enters Olivia's pocket, do you think it's coming out? Haven't you seen what she has been like these past years? If she wasn't so horrible to me, would I have run away? That so-called brother she brought home, that was a load of crap! He was her lover. I saw them fooling around on my bed the one time I came home. Those shameless people!"

At that time, Leo was still working at Neil's company.

Maja frowned, asking in a flat tone, "So you took the money and ran, deciding never to come back, leaving all these problems for your parents? Right? Because your pride was hurt, you couldn't bear it, so you chose to run away?"

Leo had no comeback. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! I didn't want to come back! I didn't want to see that despicable woman! Seeing her made me sick!"

"Smack!"

Maja slapped him hard enough to spit blood.

Now, not only was Leo on his knees, but Susan and Daly also dropped to their knees.
