Chapter 69 Who Are You Exactly As soon as the manager left, the living room fell back into an awkward silence. All eyes were on Leon, especially Ronald's, whose resentful glare made Leon squirm.
"Leon, have you really thought this through? Are you sure you want to get engaged to that woman?" "Grandpa, I've made up my mind." Ronald snorted, turned away, and went back to playing with Flora.
Sam and Barry exchanged a look, then sidled up to Leon, each grabbing one of his arms. "Daddy, kids with stepmoms never get treated well," they whined.
Tiffany burst out laughing. Leon shot her a glare, and she quickly stopped, looking away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTiffany always knew the kids wouldn't accept Bronte. Leon's hesitation probably meant the engagement party with Bronte might not go smoothly. Even so, Tiffany didn't want to pry; it wasn't her business anymore.
Leon knew staying here would only make him feel worse, so he headed back to his study. He sat at his desk, picked up the picture with the butterfly mark again, and studied it, replaying the details of that night in his mind. He stared at the picture, comparing it to the birthmark behind Bronte's ear. Something felt off.
Could he have remembered the mark wrong? Or was Bronte not the person five years ago? Leon sighed, put the picture down, and his phone buzzed. Hugo had sent Harper's location again-still at the Cooper Mansion, no change in the IP address.
Hugo: [Mr. Cooper, I double-checked. This address is correct.] Leon gripped his phone tightly. He opened the blurry photo Hugo had taken of Harper. She was wearing a mask, but her figure looked a lot like Tiffany's.
Now, only Tiffany was at the Cooper Mansion. Could Tiffany be Harper? He thought about all the coincidences. Every tthere was news about Harper, Leon rushed over, but he never saw her. Instead, he always ran into Tiffany. At first, he thought it was just a coincidence. But now, thinking back, it seemed too convenient. Could it really be that easy to run into her every time? Leon put down his phone, left the study, and found only Tiffany in the living room. He frowned. "Where's Grandpa? Where are the kids?" Tiffany replied, "They're in the backyard planting flowers with Grandpa," and then got up to leave. She felt uneasy being alone with Leon and wanted to get away.
Especially now, with Leon's eyes lingering on her, Tiffany felt like he was seeing right through her.
Just as she was about to leave, Leon called out, "Tiffany." She stopped and looked at him, confused. "What's up?" "What's your relationship with Harper?" Leon took a step forward, his eyes locked on hers, probing. Tiffany's heart skipped a beat. She took a couple of steps back, trying to keep her distance. She collected herself, looked at him calmly, and played dumb. "Who's Harper? Leon, what are you getting at?" Suddenly, Leon grabbed her wrist and said in a low voice, "You don't need to hide it from me, Tiffany. I know where Harper is! Do you still dare to say you don't know?"

Tiffany suddenly remembered that Hugo had been reaching out to her over the past few days. She had only replied politely, never expecting to reveal her location.
Her expression turned grim, and Leon noticed. He gradually approached, leaned close to her face, and asked slowly, "Tiffany, who are you really?" She looked at Leon's suspicious eyes and knew that sthings could no longer be hidden from him. Even if she lied now and tried to cover it up, with Leon's speed of investigation, he would soon figure out that she was lying to him.
Since that was the case, Tiffany decided to cclean. "I am Harper." Even though Leon had mentally prepared himself, hearing Tiffany admit it still caught him off guard. He looked at her as if she was a stranger.
Five years ago, Tiffany had nothing. But after returning to the country, she took over a major real estate design project, started her own studio, and established her own brand. Now, even though he had known she was Harper, Leon still felt a twinge of suspicion. What else was she hiding? Seeing Leon still in a daze, Tiffany quickly pulled her hand back and rubbed her reddened wrist. "Leon, if you have nothing else to ask, then I'll leave." "Wait!" Leon shouted. He quickly stepped in front of her, looking serious. "Tiffany, I need you to hypnotize me." "Why?" Tiffany asked.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! "That's your business, Leon. I refuse to help you." Tiffany wanted to cut ties with Leon and was unwilling to agree. After all, he was about to get engaged to Bronte, and she and Leon should no longer be entangled. If it weren't for her kids, Tiffany wouldn't even be here.
Leon's eyes darkened, and he said.
firmly, "Tiffany, I will pay for the consultation. I must know the truth about that matter. If its not for money, then we can cooperate. You helpwith hypnosis, and in the future, if your stuencounters any problems, the Cooper group will be willing to help."
If it were someone else, they might have agreed long ago. After all, it was the Cooper group, and many people wanted to cooperate with them when O they didn't even have the chance to meet Leon. But Tiffany didn't hesitate at all and refused Leon again. She didn't want to know anything about Leon. If it weren't for the children, Tiffany wouldn't even be here. Tiffany stared at him coldly, her tone flat. "No need, I don't need it." Tiffany didn't want to explore the secrets deep in Leon's heart, so refusing was the best choice.
Leon gritted his teeth and glared at her. "Tiffany, what will it take for you to agree?"
From his tone, Tiffany could tell that Leon was very anxious. It seemed that what he wanted, Shed to know wasl important to him. The more it very was so, the less Tiffany wanted to be entangled with him. "Leon, you should find someone else. It's getting late, I should go." Tiffany didn't wait for Leon to speak and quickly left the Cooper Mansion. Leon stared at her back, his eyes dark and his face cold.
At this time, Leon received another message from Hugo, and this tthe news shocked Leon even more.
Hugo: [Mr. Cooper, they found sthings from back then. It seems that night, Miss Grey also appeared by your car.] Leon's pupils dilated in disbelief. Tiffany? She was there too? Who was the woman that entangled with him back then?
