Chapter 118
After Evan’s warning, Leon decided it was better to keep his distance where he should.
Monique stared at him. “You’re unbelievable. You’re really throwing away a lifelong friendship over a woman ? ”
Leon gave her a cold look.
“If you were actually a guy, then sure, I’d call you one of the guys. But you’re not, so what exactly are we?”
Monique was speechless.
“Go,” Leon said impatiently. “Why are you still standing here?”
He had already made himself perfectly clear. The longer Monique stayed, the more irritated he became.
And now, Leon was starting to regret everything.
If he had listened to Evan back when Jennifer was still in Harbor City, maybe he wouldn’t have pushed her so far
that she left.
Funny how once she was gone, his head had suddenly cleared.
Even the way he handled things had become much more decisive.
He could only hope…
That after leaving the country, Jennifer was still keeping an eye on what was happening with him.
Maybe if she found out he had pushed Monique away, she would feel a little better.
Then he thought about their baby.
The regret hit even harder.
He had caused all of this.
Back then, no matter what anyone told him, he simply wouldn’t listen.
Maybe it was also because Monique had suddenly become so determined to “act like a woman.”
The change was too obvious.
With how lazy she used to be, would she really bring him lunch every day if she didn’t have feelings for him?
Every single day?
Something was clearly off.
With a loud crash, Monique shoved herself to her feet so abruptly that the chair toppled over.
For a split second, hurt flashed through her eyes.
Leon caught it.
And that only confirmed his suspicion.
At some point, Monique really had developed feelings for him.
“Leon, you’re seriously going too far!” Monique snapped. “You know better than anyone what kind of relationship we’ve always had. And now, because of some woman…”
“Is she just some woman?”
Leon cut her off coldly.
Monique froze.
“Don’t come see me anymore.”
This time, when Monique tried to use their years of friendship as leverage, Leon was even more direct.
Her heart jolted.
“You…”
“She doesn’t like it.”
“She doesn’t like it?” Monique shot back. “She’s not even in Harbor City anymore. For all you know , she’s overseas hooking up with some other guy.”
Monique finally lost her temper.
She had felt guilty when Leon first confronted her.
But now she was furious.
Especially when every other sentence out of his mouth was about Jennifer.
Jennifer this. Jennifer that.
How long had Leon even known her?
Monique and Leon had grown up together.
And yet all those years apparently meant less to him than Jennifer?
Now he was even willing to cut Monique out of his life because of her .
Monique’s breathing turned ragged.
She was already panicking because she could no longer stay with the Redson family.
And now Leon was doing this too.
“Shut the hell up!”
The second Monique suggested Jennifer might be fooling around with another man , Leon exploded .
That was exactly what he was most afraid of .

Chapter 1117.
Jennifer had always been ruthless when she decided she was done.
Back when she couldn’t stand the situation between him and Monique anymore, she had said she would terminate the pregnancy without hesitation.
And in Hamilton , she had actually tried to go through with it.
By now …
The baby was almost certainly gone.
The thought of losing their child made Leon’s chest tighten painfully.
That damn woman.
She had walked away so cleanly.
So completely.
Couldn’t she have trusted him even a little?
And if the baby was gone, then was it really impossible that she might move on to another man?
Jennifer had always lived however she pleased.
Leon’s mood was already foul from the thought.
Seeing Monique still standing there only made it worse.
“Why are you still here?” he snapped.

Chapter 1118
Monique stared at him. “ You … you’re unbelievable ! ”
Leon’s bluntness left her completely at a loss.
They had known each other for so many years, yet he was cutting her off without the slightest hesitation.
In the end, she stormed out of the office.
And the moment she stepped through the door, all traces of her usual tough–girl image disappeared .
She left in tears.
Leon rubbed his temples irritably.
“This is so damn annoying.”
But after seeing the way Monique reacted, he finally, completely believed what Evan had told him over the phone.
Monique had feelings for him.
He had no idea when those feelings had started.
But if she really did see him that way, then there was no chance she had said anything nice to Jennifer during those private conversations.
No wonder Jennifer had reacted so strongly back then.
So that was it.
He had simply been too careless.
Before Monique returned to Harbor City, the Redson family had already given Jennifer plenty of trouble, but Jennifer’s reactions had never been quite that intense.
It was only after Monique came back that Jennifer seemed to lose control at every turn.
Why hadn’t he trusted her a little more back then?
Leon was overwhelmed with regret.
Shane walked in.
“Mr. Redson.”
“ Speak.”
Leon was already in a foul mood, and the single word came out ice – cold.
Working around him lately had become incredibly stressful for Shane .
When Shane had first started working for Leon , she had actually considered herself lucky.

Compared with bosses like Evan and Felix , Leon had always been relatively easygoing.
He was approachable enough, and working for him had never been particularly difficult .
But apparently , that was only because he had never had anything serious to worry about before.
Now?
He wasn’t easygoing at all.
Ever since Jennifer disappeared from Harbor City, Leon had been losing his temper almost every day.
Shane took a breath.
“Ms. Monique left crying.
Leon had always cared about Monique before, so Shane hadn’t dared leave something like that unreported.
But today, she had clearly picked the wrong thing to mention.
“What the hell does that have to do with me?” Leon snapped. “Am I supposed to go after her and comfort her? ”
His temper flared instantly.
Why did everyone around him act like Monique mattered so much to him?
Now she left crying, and someone actually felt the need to report it to him, as though he was supposed to care.
Shane froze.
Especially at the anger in Leon’s voice.
This was nothing like the way he used to react whenever Monique was hurt.
“What?”
When Shane stood there too stunned to answer, Leon shot her an icy look.
She quickly came back to herself and shook her head.
“N–Nothing.”
“From now on , don’t report anything about her to me. I don’t need to know . ”
Shane hesitated.
“Anything at all?”
Even after hearing him clearly , she still couldn’t quite believe it .
After all , this was Monique.
Leon had once been willing to leave Jennifer behind because of her .
And now he was saying he didn’t want to hear anything about her ?
Chapter 118
Shane wasn’t sure he truly meant it.
Leon was already irritated .
Her hesitation only made his temper flare even hotter.
“What? Was I not clear enough?”
“No. No, you were.”
It wasn’t that she hadn’t understood him.
She just thought there was a good chance he might change his mind later.
This was Monique, after all.
When she had returned from overseas before, Leon had personally gone to the airport to pick her up.
And everyone in the Redson family had always liked her.
Sure, things were awkward now.
But awkward situations eventually passed.
Didn’t they?
Leon’s expression hardened.
“And if she comes here again, don’t let her in.”
Shane fell silent.
