Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 156 A Chaotic Night

Before Alistair could react, he was dragged into the dimly lit woods nearby by none other than Leo, moving like he was up to something sneaky.

Alistair was thoroughly unimpressed.

Perfect. One look at this and people will think we snuck off to make out.

Still, he didn't resist. Leo wasn't entirely insufferable, and Alistair was willing to be patient-up to a point. Once he was sure no one was around, he finally shook Leo

off.

The bruises on Leo's face had healed, and he was back to looking like the idol that made fans lose their minds.

Truth be told, good looks ran in Caroline's family. Paige had a soft, elegant beauty. Leo was, undeniably, a knockout. Gordon, too, had a sharply defined, dignified face-one could find his photos all over the internet. Even Mabel, now older, still carried the refined features of someone who had once been stunning.

Alistair said nothing. He simply stared at Leo with a neutral, unreadable expression.

Leo gave a sheepish smile. “Didn't expect to run into you here. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised."

Alistair replied flatly, "You don't need small talk. Just get to the point."

Leo hesitated for a moment. "I'm sorry... about what happened with Caroline. I-I really didn't know how much damage my mom caused her. I always thought Caroline just had a bad temper. I didn't know-"

Alistair cut him off without mercy. "It wasn't entirely your fault. Back then, you had no idea just how extreme your mom's control issues were."

He could sympathize with Leo. But he would never forgive him on Caroline's behalf.

Leo flinched, visibly shaken. A shadow crossed his face.

Maybe he was thinking about Miley.

Before this encounter, Alistair had wondered how Leo planned to face his mother again.

He'd been surprised to find out Leo still kept Ezra around. Later, he understood why-Ezra continued to report to Paige like always, except now everything he sent was dictated by Leo himself.

Leo had grown into a man with his own mind. He had no interest in being

monitored under the guise of "love." He kept up appearances in front of Paige with award-worthy acting, but it
