My Nephew Leonard 409 Chapter 409 Jean's temper flared quickly but faded just as fast. Or rather when it cto Dylan, she had always shown a level of tolerance she rarely afforded others.

So now, after just a few coaxing words from him, her anger dissipated.

At that moment, Dylan took the chance to say, "Alright. I really do need to make a call. You should head back in first. After all, you were the one who set this dinner up, so it wouldn't look good if neither of us were there." "Fine. I'll go in first, but hurry up with the call." Got it." Dylan smiled, standing in place as he watched Jean return to the private dining room.

The moment she shut the door behind her, his smile vanished instantly. And in its place was obvious exhaustion and disgust.

Yet when he met her gaze, there was nothing but sincerity in it.

He clenched his teeth involuntarily.

He had no regrets. If given the chance to do it all over again he would still make the schoice.

of this, Dylan was certain. He knew exactly how the outside world saw him now, including his own colleagues at the university.

After all, in their eyes, he had always been the golden boy distinguished and untainted by the filth of the world. His life had always been smooth sailing. His mother was the only daughter in the family, while he was the only grandson. So from a young age, his academic path had been paved for him. Combined with his good looks and sharp mind, he had never truly faced hardship.

In the beginning, he couldn't even comprehend those who compromised themselves for money It was pride, but also arrogance. So, he was well aware that behind his back, there were far more people who resented him than admired him.

Chapter 409 And now that he had fallen from grace, many were naturally eager to watch the spectacle.

But none of that mattered to Dylan.

The only person he cared about was Noelle. Anyone could see him

bowing his head, but only in front of Noelle did he try to preserve his last e spred of dignity. And yet, fate refused to grant him even that.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to think about what Noelle had m overheard Just the thought alone was enough to break him. "I'll be heading back first," Noelle said.

With that, she walked past him, but Dylan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. Today's Bonus Offer mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
