A couple of seconds passed until Kenneth broke the silence. “Leonel. I saw you from afar. I wasn’t sure at first, but it really is you.”
Leonel stared at him without saying anything.
He studied the man before him.
He could remember clearly. His father was once a small business owner. He was usually well-dressed, and loved socializing in entertainment places.
Soon after, the man cheated on his wife, who ended up killing herself by jumping off a building.
Leonel used to despise his father so much.
To be honest, he never stopped hating him, neither did he think he would see him again. Especially in the state he was in.
Was this what they called karma?

Kenneth grew uneasy under Leonel’s cold gaze. He could barely recognize him.
He seemed nothing like the son he knew.
He summoned all his courage and pressed on. “You know… If I hadn’t arranged for you to leave with the Fowlers back then, who knows where you’d have be now. I’ve heard a great lot about you. You’ve made a fortune, strutting around in Duefron… Even Mr. Fowler would have to show you some respect now!”

He couldn’t be too direct, but he hoped Leonel would realize that he needed to pay him back.
His eyes lit up as Leonel pulled out his wallet.
In the wallet, there were a bunch of cards and a stack cash, roughly around 3000.
Leonel took out all the cash and handed it to Kenneth.
Kenneth counted the money and scoffed in disbelief. ‘You’re kidding right?
I spent years raising you and this is all I get in return? You’re giving me this little money?”
“Give it back then.” Leonel sneered.
The man quickly tucked the money into his pocket as if his life depended on it and walked off.
Leonel watched his retreating figure for a while, and then lit a cigarette.
The following day, the breaking news circulated in Duefron’s financial circles.
The Smith family and Genesis Investment had signed a preliminary contract, poised to receive an investment of 8@ billion. The Smith family bounced back completely catching Edwin off guard.
At the company, Edwin was utterly swamped.
