Chapter 2307
Leighton was still trying to wrap his head around how he could have kicked a ghost when the lights flickered on, revealing what
lay on the ground. It wasn’t some ghastly hanged specter; it was unmistakably a man.
His kick had been forceful; the man lay there clutching his stomach, unable to get up right away. Upon seeing the light, he didn’t
bother lifting his head, but clenched his teeth and said coldly, “Nicole, you’ve really outdone yourself this time!”
Leighton was speechless.
What was this thing? Why did it speak so disgustingly? It was even more repulsive than the lines he delivered as a boss
character.
Nicole furrowed her brow. “What are you doing here?”
“How did I end up here? Who else has the power to make me come to this dump-” The man paused, then glanced toward the
foyer. When his eyes met Leighton’s, his voice abruptly trailed off, and he frowned. “You brought someone else?”
Nicole replied calmly, “He’s not someone else; he’s my boyfriend.” Then she introduced Leighton, “This is Kaden Brooks.”
She leaned close to Leighton’s ear and whispered, “He’s the son of my stepfather I mentioned earlier.”
Kaden propped himself up and stood, staring at Leighton with a stern expression.
The other man’s face was somewhat pale; Leighton knew he had hit him hard.
After all, he genuinely thought it was some hanged ghost and had used almost all his strength to kick the person away. It was
probably going to hurt for a few days.
Feeling somewhat apologetic about his kick, Leighton reached out his hand to greet the man.
Kaden averted his gaze and didn’t respond. With a cold face, he said to Nicole, “This is the Brook family’s house. Why did you
bring a wild man here?”
Leighton’s eyelid twitched. He should have kicked him harder! What kind of nonsense was this? He had been formally
introduced! Kaden was the wild one!
Their whole family was a bunch of wild ones!
Nicole gave him a glance. “This house was given to me by my father. It’s in my name, and I have the freedom to bring whoever I
want here. You’re the one trespassing.”
Kaden sneered, “Just because it’s in your name doesn’t mean it’s yours. My dad didn’t sign any transfer documents. As long as
the Brook family wants it back, we can reclaim it anytime!”
Nicole pursed her lips. “As long as Uncle doesn’t ask for it back, it’s mine.”
Kaden mocked, “You’re as insatiable as your shameless mother!”
This seemed to hit a nerve with Nicole; her face suddenly turned somewhat pale.
Leighton couldn’t stand seeing her like this, being so weak in front of this disgusting man. How could she become so cowardly i
front Of M someond who spoke so disgustingly?
He could tolerate being ridiculed by Nicole, but he couldn’t tolerate Nicole being bullied into silence by a man who spoke so
disgustingly! It made him lose face, worse than this disgusting creature!
How did you decide she’s insatiable? Isn’t it because she’s being considerate to you that she accepted it? otherwise, who would
want this rundown house?”
“Is this house worth five million? With renovations, over six hundred thousand?” Leighton suddenly spoke, “She attends events
where the sponsored jewelry alone costs more than this. How can you accuse her of being insatiable for accepting this rundown
house from your stingy family?
Kaden’s face suddenly darkened. “What are you, and what does it have to do with me talking to her?”
Leighton was the type who only respected strength and was uncouth.
Upon hearing this, he sneered m directly, “123 herboyfriend, so her business is my business! If you can’t stand your stepmother,
make your dad divorce her! You can’t win against your dad, so you’re picking on a woman-what kind of skill is that?”
