The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 93: Won’t Leave

The voice on the other end of the line, Sean Grant, burst out laughing, "Whatever Leo can give you, I can too. Your friend is with me, so think carefully about your options."

Nancy Miller is in his hands, and that’s his best bargaining chip.

Holly Sawyer’s skills are incredibly strong; she’s really proficient at hacking. Sean believes that winning her over is the best move. Even if he can’t win her over, he cannot allow Holly to stand against him.

His demand is simple: Holly leaves Leo.

He doesn’t intend to harm Nancy; as long as Holly agrees to his demand, he’ll release her immediately.

"Do you think I’m someone who’s lacking anything?"

Holly sneered coldly.

She never felt she was missing anything. If not for Leo’s kindness to her, if she didn’t want to repay Leo, she wouldn’t have appeared by his side.

She lacks nothing; even if Leo gives her nothing and even treats her with indifference, she’d still stay by his side until he accomplishes his goals.

"Your intentions with Leo are anything but pure."

"Do you think you’re clever? Do you think Leo really believes you’ve lost your memory? I’m afraid not. I can expose you."

"Choose: leave on your own or be forced out. You can weigh your options."

Sean’s tone carried a hint of menace.

Holly curled her lips. As she spoke on the phone, her hands never stopped moving.

"Sorry, the game is about to end soon."

Her fingers tapped the final key on the keyboard, and she stretched with a yawn.

She had discovered Sean’s location, and The Pantheon had arrived, leaving Sean no room to negotiate.

"What?"

Sean was bewildered, still not understanding the meaning behind Holly’s words.

"Nancy Miller is with you now, right?"

Holly asked, a deep smile on her lips.

Sean glanced at Nancy, tied to a chair with her mouth gagged. Before he could speak, commotion erupted at the door.

"Sean, you’re not worthy of negotiating terms with me."

Swiftly, Holly hung up the call. Her personnel had arrived, ensuring Nancy’s safety.

Sean was stupefied, watching helplessly as The Pantheon’s team took Nancy away.

Sean had come to Bexley with only two people in tow, initially believing his plan was flawless, but he didn’t expect...

He had been hasty.

Their team was too large, leaving Sean no choice but to let Nancy go, watching her leave.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The man in the suit frowned, looking at Sean after witnessing Nancy’s departure.

Their goal was clear and almost achieved, but unexpected circumstances arose...

"Return to Arkenfall."

Sean shook his arm and said.

In Bexley, he had neither power nor influence. If Holly intended to deal with him, he’d be in grave danger.

Who knows if Holly simply didn’t plan against him or forgot to issue such orders? It’s better to leave promptly.

"Brother..."

Someone messaged Holly, informing her of Nancy’s successful rescue, finally letting Holly breathe a sigh of relief.

She eagerly looked at Leo, her eyes filled with an ingratiating smile.

"Let’s talk, what happened."

Leo sat in the chair, looking at Holly, asking slowly.

Holly had never revealed anything in front of him before, so he always pretended not to know. Now Holly exposed herself, and he couldn’t pretend ignorance any longer.

"Brother, I..."

Holly gently bit her lip, looking pitifully at Leo.

Using this gaze on Leo used to work wonders, but now Leo remains unmoved.

It’s not that he’s unaffected; he’s just forcing himself not to soften too quickly.

"Leo, I’ll confess. I haven’t lost my memory. I remember everything. I lied just to get close to you."

Holly took a deep breath, biting her lip lightly, and after a long mental struggle, finally admitted.

"I know that part. Tell me something I don’t know."

Leo nodded, not surprised at all.

Clearly, the girl’s identity isn’t simple, and he had known she intended to get close to him.

Memory loss due to heatstroke?

Ha, he wouldn’t believe a word of it.

Back then, Holly acted like someone who had lost her memory, and the doctors conducted thorough check-ups with no results, so they fabricated this outcome.

While memory loss due to heatstroke is possible, it’s exceedingly rare, barely a plausible scenario.

"I... we are not enemies."

"Sean knew about my situation from the start, attempting to bribe me multiple times, even resorting to kidnapping Nancy."

"As for my identity, I choose not to disclose it now; it’s not the right time. However, I assure you, Holly Sawyer will not harm you."

Holly gently bit her lip, her gaze at Leo sincere.

Everything else could be shared, except for her identity, which she wasn’t ready to reveal.

"So, will you be leaving me?"

Leo seemed to disregard Holly’s words, gazing at her softly, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

While he heard all the rest, Leo found it wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

His focus was on whether Holly would leave him.

Holly might not realize how anxious he felt when Sean told her to leave him.

He was terrified, truly terrified.

The girl’s true identity actually matters not; what matters is that she stays by his side.

"Huh?"

Holly was bewildered; she had explained thoroughly, and all Leo asked was this?

"Will Holly leave Leo?"

Leo steadied his nerves, calmly asking, and looked at Holly with tenderness in his eyes.

He just wanted an answer.

"I... won’t."

Holly hesitated for a moment, then met Leo’s gentle gaze and slowly shook her head.

Holly would not leave Leo.

At this moment, Holly solidified her thoughts. Leo treated her so well; what reason could there be for dissatisfaction?

Unless Leo no longer treated her well, only then would she consider leaving.

Leo’s eyes suddenly brightened, "Say it again."

Holly repeated, "Holly will not leave Leo."

Holly would not leave Leo.

"Really?"

Leo was like a child receiving a candy, happiness seeping into his expression.

He’s delighted that Holly could say such a thing, and regardless of her identity, Leo believes having Holly stay with him is the best outcome.
