My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0388

After kidnapping Serenity, Leonardo and Lucius fled to Davos in the Swiss Alps. It was the ideal place to rest and strategize, not to mention the seat of the World Economic Forum. Their choice wasn’t random; Leonardo already had a plan. With the money secured and the truth about his relationship with Lucius no longer a secret, he could finally cast off the weight of Alexia Levett’s blackmail. She had played her last card, leaving him free from her manipulative grasp and the exorbitant payments that came with it.

“Father, what’s the next step? It feels like everything’s fallen apart, but you seem so calm,” Lucius said, his curiosity evident.

“Lucius, my son, I’m an old sea wolf. Do you think I wouldn’t have stopped things if I hadn’t wanted them to play out this way?” Leonardo replied, sipping the amber liquid from his glass.

“You’re leaving me intrigued. Explain,” Lucius demanded, his skepticism growing.

“Patience, son. I’m waiting for someone who’s going to help us,” Leonardo said with a faint smile, his tone unnervingly calm.

Leonardo had once been a model son during the glory days of the company. As an exceptional CEO, he was widely recognized for his tireless work and the remarkable growth of Palmer Group under his leadership, despite his youth. Alongside his wife, he basked in Valeria province’s admiration. But when Catherine stripped the family of what was rightfully theirs, it deeply wounded his pride. Everything he had sacrificed for, even neglecting his family, was now in the hands of two families who had never contributed to its success or endured its hardships. It felt absurd to him.

Much of his resentment was directed at Maximus. At first, Leonardo had felt ashamed of his affair with Maximus’s ex–girlfriend. But over time, it turned into a form of silent revenge, continuing his illicit relationship with her out of spite. His anger over losing control of the company blinded him to the dangers of allowing Alexia into his life. He hadn’t expected her to become pregnant, let alone be unsure of the child’s paternity.

It was only through Matthew’s help that he managed to recover. Yet, all his suffering, in his mind, traced back to Maximus and Mary. Though he knew it was irrational, he blamed them for everything. If the Preston family hadn’t appeared, and if the
