Steven was even more stunned.
He wondered if Leonard was just too shocked.
“You don’t you have anything to say?” Steven asked Leonard.
After all, Leonard was Steven’s cousin. Even though he wasn’t as likable as his sister, Celeste, and
often got beaten by Steven during their childhood, Leonard was still quite lovable when he was a kid. If
he was really hurt by this, Steven would definitely feel bad
Leonard nced at him, “What do I have to say? Are you suggesting that you’ve been lying to me to
prevent Liam from snatching your dear sister?”
Steven instantly choked and then lightly coughed, “Not that! I saw your concern for Celeste, I was
worried you would be heartbroken.”
Leonard sneered in his heart.
What a shameless guy! How could he have the audacity to say that?
Leonard calmly said. “I’m not that heartbroken, just a bit sad. But when I think about it, Celeste has
always liked Liam, and I never stood a chance, so it’s okay Besides, we’re family now, isn’t familial love
more stable than romantic love?”
Steven frowned, “How did you figure out that Celeste likes Liam? He’s a divorcee! Is he worthy of her?”
Leonard nced at him.
Now he finally understood who Liam was waiting for downstairs.
He also finally understood what Liam meant when he said, “Celeste sees you as a brother, and so do I.
He had hinted at him long ago, but he had treated the other party as a hypotheticalpetitor without
thinking too deeply.
Why did Liam use his connections to help hispany? Wasn’t it because Celeste was his cousin?
In contrast, what had his cousin Steven been doing?
He concealed Celeste’s identity from him and used him as a tool to restrain Liam!
Leonard was getting angrier, but his facial expression was getting calmer.
Acting was his specialty. When he really disyed his talents, even Steven, who knew him well,
couldn’t see through his thoughts.
Leonard nced at him and said. They’re both talented, and they’re in love. What right do you have to
object?”
Steven’s mouth twitched, and he pped Leonard in a fury. “Has Liam brainwashed you, kid? Whose
side are you on?”
Leonard snorted, “I don’t care what you think.”
Then he shook the box in his hand, asking, “Do you want it or not? If not, I’ll give it to someone else.”
Steven had two hobbies, one was drinking, and the other was collecting lighters
He didn’t smoke much, but he had arge collection of many kinds of lighters. Some were even
custom–made at a high price.
So when he heard Leonard say it was a lighter, Steven reached out to take it.
He opened the box, and inside was a tinum, diamond–studded lighter. It was very beautiful and
something he didn’t have in his collection.
Steven loved it.
This was the first time he found his cousin so likable. He patted Leonard’s head, “You’re finally
sensible.”
Leonard dodged his hand, put on his mask, and said coldly, “I’m leaving.”
Then, he ignored Steven
He walked out of the private room, then ran swiftly down the stairs, like he was escaping from
something terrifying that was chasing him.

A minuteter, the sound of vomiting came from the private room, followed by Steven’s roar, “Leonard!
You…ugh…”
Liam seemed to sense something, lifted his eyes, and nced upstairs.
He didn’t know if Leonard had sessfully escaped, he just hoped he hadn’t been beaten. After all, the
kid was always polite.
The lighter was specially made by Owen for Liam
The exterior of the lighter was dazzling, but the inside was filled with foul–smelling materials. Once
someone lit it, the materials inside would automatically mix, releasing a gas that would fill the air with
an awful smell within a few meters.
For ordinary people, this smell was unbearable. For Steven, who had a keen sense of smell, it was
pure torture.
