Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 9

Mila had no intention of causing a scene on the street over such a trivial matter.

After taking the photo, she grabbed Miranda's arm and headed toward the car parked across the street, ready to leave.

But as soon as they stepped out of the bar, they were stopped.

Blocking their path was a young man with a stern, sharp face, dressed in a crisp black suit that accentuated his tall and commanding presence.

Mila recognized him immediately.

Leonard, Lysander's personal aide, had been sponsored by Montgomery Holdings since childhood and had been chosen in high school to shadow Lysander. He was fiercely loyal and the most trusted person in Lysander's inner circle.

Leonard was known for his aloof demeanor; he only ever heeded Lysander's words, making him appear almost inhuman.

Mila didn't have the best impression of him.

His presence now, coupled with Lysander's earlier expression, signaled trouble. Instinctively, Mila tightened her grip on her phone.
