From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 61

Although Leonard was recognized as Waylon’s distinguished guest, a bigger crisis followed.

The Loftus family had a special relationship with the Governor, and the Governor was another force

that Waylon also needed to flatter.

Even if Waylon valued Leonard more, he would not be able to offend the Governor for just a young

man.

So once the Governor bullied Leonard, Leonard would still end in no good.

This was the thought held in everyone’s mind.

“Well…”

Cheryl also looked worried.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the Governor’s side.” Leonard gave Cheryl a slight smile.

Hearing this, Cheryl just sighed.

It was not that she didn’t trust Leonard but that the Governor had too much power; if it couldn’t be

handled properly, there would be big troubles.

But looking at Leonard’s appearance, it seemed that he didn’t take the Governor seriously, which made

her more worried about him.

Leonard was a billionaire at such a young age, which was indeed extraordinary.

It was just that if you got carried away because of this, you would definitely get punished.

And at this moment, there was a cheering excitement in the hall.

Waylon Lambert, the protagonist of today’s banquet, and Parker Evans, the Governor of Newden City,

came together.

“Waylon finally reached cooperation with Parker. It seems that the news revealed by Mr. Loftus is not

false at all.” Someone commented.

“Mr. Evans attended the celebrity dinner in person today and stood for Mr. Lambert. Mr. Lambert’s

position in the business community of Newden City is firmly established.”

Many people were talking in low voices.

Although Waylon was the director of the Newden Chamber of Commerce, there were still many

business leaders in Newden City who were no worse than Waylon.

Even his position as the director was not so secure.

Every year uncountable people wanted to replace him.

But with the support of the Governor of Newden City, Waylon’s influence would reach its peak. No one

would dare to compete with him for the position of director.

The Governor might not necessarily be more powerful than Waylon in finance, but he could bankrupt

any financial giant like Waylon with a single word.

“Mr. Evans is here; he must help the Loftus family; this Leonard is going to be doomed.” some people

commented.

“Although Mr. Evans is a domineering man, he always respects his teachers. He has repeatedly

advocated that one should treat his teacher like his father and respect him for his whole life. Since the

Loftus is the descendants of his teacher, he will definitely stand up for them,” some people added.

“Mr. Evans is tough, and he had never been softhearted towards the enemy…” Others added.

The appearance of Parker and Waylon brought the banquet to a climax.

Even when Waylon stood in front of Parker, his face was full of compliments.

If it weren’t for Leonard’s reasons, Waylon would not be able to meet Parker.

“Mr. Evans, finally, you’re here.”

As soon as Parker walked in, Kylo hurried up to meet him.

“Kylo, glad to see you here!”

Seeing Kylo, Parker smiled.

Because of his teacher, he visited the Loftus family once, so he knew Kylo.

“Mr. Evans, if you don’t come, I will be kicked out of the banquet,” Kylo hurried to explain.

“What happened?”

Parker frowned suddenly.

He noticed Kylo’s swollen cheeks.

“It was me. I gave him a lesson.”

At this time, Leonard also came over and stood directly in front of Parker.

Hearing Leonard’s words, everyone was sweating for him.

The Barton family almost fainted from fright.

“This was too risky. How dare he talk to the governor like this? Didn’t he be afraid of being doomed?”

And hearing Leonard’s words, Parker was shocked for a while.

It seemed that Kylo offended Leonard.

He was furious instantly.

If Kylo just swaggering about in his name, Parker wouldn’t think it was a matter. However, he offended

Leonard. Didn’t Kylo actually get him into trouble?

“Mr. Evans was extremely irritated. I can even feel his anger. I’m afraid Leonard is going to be

doomed.”

“The person who beat the Governor’s relatives dared to show off in front of the Governor. Isn’t that

courting death? No one else can bear it.”

“Do you think the Governor will directly put Leonard in prison? After all, it will work with just a word from

the Governor.”

“Kylo, what’s going on?” Parker asked with a sullen face.

Kylo exaggerated the situation by saying, “Leonard is arrogant and domineering because he deemed

himself a distinguished guest of Mr. Lambert. He hit me at the banquet and injured Mr. Woods, a

righteous man. Mr. Evans, you got to uphold justice for me.”

Hearing this, Parker’s expression became more and more serious.

How could a sophisticated man like him be unable to tell whether Kylo was lying or not.

He must have provoked Leonard first and then used his relationship with Mark to bully Leonard, but

unexpectedly he failed, and instead, it was him that was beaten.

“Mr. Evans, it was Mr. Loftus and his wife who framed Mr. Santos’ cousin first…” Cheryl hurriedly

defended Leonard.

After knowing the ins and outs just now, she was very disgusted with the behavior of the Loftus couple.

Hearing Cheryl’s words, Kylo was immediately annoyed.

“Mr. Evans, have you seen that? Leonard and Waylon’s secretary have teamed up to bully me. They

didn’t show their respect to you at all.

“In my opinion, you’d better stop cooperating with Waylon.”

Hearing this, Parker’s expression completely changed.

Kylo was talking nonsense before; what was worse, he was trying to sway his own decision now.

Originally, because Kylo was the grandson of his mentor, Parker was still thinking about how to protect

him from Leonard.

But when he heard this, he immediately knew that Kylo deserved it.

“OK, stop.”

Parker interrupted Kylo’s words.

“I have already known what happened here, and I cannot blame Mr. Santos for this matter.

“Kylo, you are using my name to show off your power outside and ruin my reputation; aren’t you the

one to be blamed?

“Although Mr. Loftus was my mentor, it doesn’t mean that the Loftus family can do whatever they want

in Newden City.

“I declare that all the crimes committed by the Loftus family in the name of the Governor’s Mansion will

be investigated, and the public will have the justice.

“Also, all cooperation between the Governor and the Loftus family will be terminated, and tomorrow I

will ask the butler

to go through the formalities.”

Hearing Parker’s words, everyone there was dumbfounded.

What was happening here?

Kylo was deeply shocked, an incredulous look in his eyes.

“Dear Mr. Evans, is there anything wrong? You should punish this h ick.”

“Shut up!”

Parker interrupted coldly, “Don’t call me like that. I don’t have such a close relationship with the Loftus

family.

“And this is just the first step. You haven’t apologized for offending Mr. Santos. Mr. Santos would decide

how to punish you.”

Then, Parker looked at Leonard.

He did not care whether the Loftus family was doomed or not. The important thing was to calm Leonard

down.

At this time, Waylon suddenly said, “Why don’t we deal with it in another place?”

Indeed, with so many audiences, it might be harmful if they spread this thing to the public.

After getting Leonard’s nod, they left directly.

Kylo and Emily followed anxiously.

“Darling, what can we do?”

Emily was a little panicked at the moment.

“Relax, it’s simply a show Mr. Evans put on for others to see. Just wait. Leonard would soon get what

he deserves.”

Hearing this, Emily finally calmed down, and her face recovered a little.
