Leon was stunned. He looked at Eloise’s mocking expression and couldn’t help but take a step back.
He had never seen Eloise like this before. If the previous Eloise was gentle and pure like lilies, then the current Eloise is like a thorny rose.
“How did you become like this now?”
Eloise knew what he meant, she chuckled and crossed her arms, looking at him, “Didn’t you used to find me boring with that attitude of mine?”
Leon’s body shook, with dark shadows overlapping in his eyes. At this moment, he deeply regretted the things he had done in the past, but it was already too late.
The next moment, Eloise slowly spoke, “Leon, this is all because of you pushing me, but thank you for helping me become who I am now.”
After saying that, Eloise turned and walked into the Bronner’s manor, instructing the security guard, “If he comes back again, just throw him down the mountain.”
The security guard replied, “Yes, Mrs. Bronner.”
Zackery saw his wife approaching and immediately stood up, feeling a bit dizzy. Eloise walked over and helped him up, saying, “You’ve been squatting for so long, you should stand up and walk around.”
Zackery scratched his head like a clueless teenager, “Elle, you go in first.”
Eloise was feeling a bit strange, but she didn’t say anything and walked straight into the Bronner’s manor.
The moment Eloise entered, Zackery walked over to Leon and, before he could react, punched him hard.
Leon was instantly knocked down to the ground, feeling a sharp pain as his body made contact with the ground. A metallic taste filled his throat, and blood slowly dripped from the corner of his mouth.
He looked up at Zackery, who happened to be looking at him with his arms crossed, his gaze as if watching some kind of animal performance.
“I told you before, if you appear in front of me again, you will regret it. As soon as the words fell, Leon’s head was covered, followed by a sharp pain in his body. He felt like his bones were about to break, and his internal organs were all in pain.”
The next moment, someone grabbed his hand. Leon immediately had a bad feeling, and just as he was about to pull his hand back, he felt a sharp pain in his fingertips.
His nails were pulled out.

Ten fingernails were pulled out one by one, and Leon could no longer speak. Cold sweat kept sliding down his fore- head, wetting the clothes on his chest.
Fingers intertwined, it turned out that Elle felt so much pain when her nails were pulled out. Before passing out, Leon thought this in his heart.
I’m sorry, Elle. I caused you too much pain. I didn’t realize my true feelings earlier, and I disappointed you time and time again.
Watching Leon, who had already passed out, Zackery casually threw away the blood-stained pliers in his hand and in- structed the servant.
“Clean this up and make sure Madam Bronner and Mrs. Bronner don’t see it. Throw this person down the mountain.”
“Yes! The bodyguard tied Leon to the back of the car and dragged him down the mountain.”
When he reached the bottom of the mountain, Leon’s back was already covered in blood and flesh. He was awakened by the pain, slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself filled with pain all over, almost unable to move.
The heavy rain fell, and the icy raindrops hit Leon’s wound, causing him to wince in pain. The cold rain felt like nee- dles piercing his wound, making him break out in a cold sweat.
It was already night, the sky seemed unresponsive, the earth seemed indifferent, and this was the first time Leon felt despair. He lay on the ground and suddenly remembered the time Eloise searched for her mother’s belongings in the heavy rain, and then developed a high fever.
That time, Leon had intended to take her to the hospital, but Aurelie called him at the last minute, so he had to leave her in the car. Later, he forgot about her, and when he remembered in the morning, there was no one in the car.
Leon smiled bitterly, perhaps Eloise was also so desperate at that time.
He no longer struggled, accepting the battering of the torrential rain. The physical pain was able to lessen the pain in his heart, bit by bit.
This way he could feel a little less indebted to Eloise.
