The area of ??this old castle looks very grand at first glance, and there are many buildings and carved statues all over the courtyard.
Even Lilia felt that the Adler family's house looked even more magnificent compared to the extended family in Surabaya.
Currently, the man was sitting beside her, looking calmly at the buildings on both sides of the street.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, "The Adlers are considered a powerhouse in Bandung. They have deep roots and power everywhere. To be able to survive in Bandung for years without falling is already incredible. Their background cannot be underestimated at all."
Lilia was still leaning back in her chair. Hearing the voice, she sighed in sorrow. "If things weren't so ssed up, sis llisa wouldn't be here. But it's precisely because she's involved in this that I'm a little too worried. I don't know if our arrival can help Leonard in stabilizing his position. As you said before, the situation at the Adlers' house isn't as peaceful as it seems."
"Don't worry, it doesn't look too bad at the mont."
Lilia looked at the scene outside the window and pulled the corner of her mouth. She then shook her head with a frown. "I've always felt that people from big families in Bandung lack good manners. At tonight's banquet, I can see that Leonard's stature isn't that bad. Given that llisa is pregnant, if these things can't be resolved as soon as possible, the two of them will not be able to live in peace."
As the words fell, Jean narrowed his eyes in surprise. "lissa is pregnant?"
Lilia said. "You don't know about it? If not pregnant, how could she be that fat?"
Hearing this, the man laughed. "I didn't notice it though!"
"Before this, you compared to how fat lissa was!" Lilia smiled and leaned close to him, still scratching her chin with her finger.
The man squeezed her ssy fingertips, rubbed them, and said. "Don't walk around the house for a while."
"I know, you don't have to worry about . Since you want to help them, I can't make trouble for them."
Lilia rembered one thing. "How are you going to help him? On the ship, I saw the fiancée and it seems she has a good relationship with a person nad Luke, which I don't think makes any sense."
The man took her hand and looked out the window. "The Grahams are none other than Luke's puppets… As for the outco of this ga, it all depends on Leonard!"
At this ti, the car slowly stopped in front of the villa.
Clifford got out of the car and opened the door for them, and the butler also ca to greet them enthusiastically along with the servants.
"Master, you are back!" The old butler said with a smile, then took a step forward and whispered, "The Patriarch is waiting for you in the living room!"
Leonard frowned. "My father is here?"
The butler nodded. "He has been waiting for a long ti! Are you going to et him first?"
"Okay."
Leonard nodded, and just as he was about to arrange for the butler to prepare a residence for Lilia and Jean, Kevin appeared from within the hall. "Young Master Leonard, Young Master Jean, the Patriarch wants to see you."
Hearing this, Leonard furrowed his brow and licked his back teeth, he then turned around and hesitantly asked Jean, "Jean, do you want to et him?"
He respected all of Jean's decisions. If he didn't want to, then he wouldn't force it. Even if he violated his father's arrangents, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Right now, Jean was standing by the car, and answered Leonard's question without hesitation. "At a friend's house, we should always greet the host."
Leonard pursed his lips and nodded. "Okay then."
As he stepped forward, Jean looked at Lilia beside him. Before speaking, Lilia was already smiling and waving her hand. "Go, I'll be waiting for you here!"
llisa also took a step forward in ti. "I will be with Lilia, don't worry."
Seeing this, Jean took a step forward, walking into the hall side by side with Leonard.
The butler and the others, who were standing in the moonlight, looked completely absent-minded.
How could this tall and beautiful girl be so similar to their little maid?!
Are they brother and sister?
...
In the living room, Leonard and Jean entered side by side.
Kevin walked behind the sofa where Leonhart was and stopped quietly.
Under the blinding light, Leonhart slowly got up.
He looked at Jean intently, his eyes showed a hint of shock.
Jean stared back without a doubt, the eyes of the two n collided. One stared sharply, the other indifferent.
No one knows how long until Leonhart finally stepped forward and held out his hand, saying, "Leonhart Adler."
Jean ca forward and shook hands with him, then nodded slightly. "Nice to et you. I'm Jean Widjaya!"
This kind of etiquette made one sideline Leonard.
His father was fifty years old, but he clearly looked at Jean the sa way.
In general, this was a fierce battle.
At this mont, Leonhart ignored the twists and turns in Leonard's heart, and when he invited Jean to sit down, he frankly said, "Are you and my son old acquaintances?"
The man pursed his lips and said, "We are good friends."
"Projects for real estate deals are also the result of your clandestine operations?" Leonhart's gaze stared at Jean for a mont as he spoke.
Hearing this, Jean said aningfully. "The only thing that was kept secret during the bidding eting was the identity of my company. But the process and final outco of the bidding are completely in line with the industry rules, no behind-the-scenes operations!"
Leonhart glanced at him deeply, shook his head and laughed. "So he won the bid on his own?"
"Yes!"
At this point, Leonhart looked at Leonard.
It turned out that his own son was still standing beside him.
"Sit down!"
Leonhart gestured to him, and then pushed the teacup on the table in front of Jean. "I've heard quite a bit about what you did on the dock just now. Doing such an extre thing, aren't you afraid of what kind of bad things will happen at that mont?"
The man glanced at the teacup in front of him, and facing Leonhart's tentative tone, Jean replied unhurriedly. "Since my actions have shocked people's hearts, naturally no one dares to retaliate."
"Hahaha!" Leonhart burst out laughing, his eyes were full of admiration.? "Such courage… Your future is truly imasurable!"
Jean lowered his head humbly. "I still need to learn more!"
There was a smile on Leonhart's mouth, and his eyes narrowed. "Leonard, leave this room. I need to talk to young master Jean!"
Leonard rolled his eyebrows, imdiately refuting. "Father, why can't you talk about it in front of ?"
"If I tell you to leave, don't argue with !"
Leonard curled his lips in anger. After seeing Kevin standing beside him, he got up and left the living room first.
Not long after, Leonhart and Jean sat across from each other in the living room.
In the silence, Leonhart pondered for a few seconds, and asked bluntly, "You ca to Bandung not just for real estate projects, right?"
