My Supermodel Wife (For Sale!)

Chapter 866 - The Adler Family Banquet



Leonard stood in the corridor facing Filincia. He licked the corners of his mouth and answered without hesitation. "The arrangement was done by the Adler family, I didn't partake in any of it. Auntie, don't worry, I will solve this problem without making it big."

"That's good, don't be careless. I've heard that the Grahams have been in the limelight recently, and they're definitely not people to mess with. If you have a problem that can't be solved, remember to tell me or go to my family's house."

"Okay, I'll go if I need it, you don't have to worry about me."

After hearing this, Filincia didn't say anything else. After all, it was a matter of the Adler family, and her words could not affect the final result.

When Leonard and Mellisa returned to the parking lot and entered the car, the woman said, "Aunt Filin... Is she a member of the 7 big families in Bandung?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Leonard smiled.

Melissa said. "She asked where we met, and she was pretty sure I wasn't from this town. In addition, her attitude towards you is also very good, and it doesn't look like you just met her."

Leonard chuckled and whispered his explanation, "We can trust her, even her entire family can be relied on."

Hearing this, Mellisa subconsciously nodded, not continuing this topic.

... 

After that, they had dinner at a western food restaurant in the city center.

Before the time hit eight o'clock, Mellisa and Leonard had returned to the Adler family's house.

Immediately after entering the door, the butler came to inform that the Patriarch asked Leonard to go to his building.

After Leonard left, Mellisa also changed into her maid outfit, sat in the room and pulled out the Adler family member's report from under the pillow, about to study it again.

She could only read it for a few minutes when there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Melissa put down the file in her hand and opened the door for a moment, looking surprised. "Why are you here?"

Kevin stood at the door, holding several books in his hand. When he handed it over, he said, "The patriarch asked me to give you these books."

"Starting tomorrow, he has arranged for a financial consultant from our family to come and teach you. You must first become familiar with financial flows. At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, the lesson will begin in the big master's study room."

Mellisa took the book and nodded firmly. "Thank you, I'll read it tonight."

"Tomorrow, young master Leonard will follow the Patriarch to handle the company's business. So while he is away during the day, the Patriarch wants you to use this time to study. He also left a message so that you don't get carried away because the current situation seems peaceful. The road to the Adler family's wife is not that easy."

Mellisa heard Kevin's flat and straightforward tone, then smiled lightly. "Thanks for helping me, I won't forget my words."

Hearing this, Kevin nodded his head, paused for a moment, and added. "What you need to learn now is the most basic knowledge of family management. I also heard that if you can make good progress, he might consider sending you to study abroad for a period of time. So... be prepared!"

Melisa was taken aback. She looked at Kevin and the corners of her mouth twitched, but there was no sound.

Perhaps because the position of the wife in this family was so important, Leonhart didn't want Melisa to be only half-hearted in her progress.

And Mellisa couldn't comment about this planned arrangement.

If the man really needed to send her to study abroad in the end, she was willing to accept the kindness.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!" Seeing that Mellisa hadn't spoken for a long time, Kevin turned and walked towards the elevator after saying goodbye.

Mellisa held the book, stood at the door looking at his figure, then sighed lightly. After that, she went back into the bedroom.

From tonight onwards, Mellisa devoted herself to all kinds of lessons arranged for her by Leonhart.

As Kevin said, the next morning, Leonard left with his father.

Mellisa also had enough time to go to Leonhart's study to learn important things.

...

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Three days then, just before 8:30 am, Leonard sat down at the dining table and looked at Mellisa. "Are you tired today?"

He knew that Mellisa had started various lessons at his father's request.

Even though he had not directly participated in them, seeing Melissa spending most of her time working hard reading books, Leonard felt a little uneasy. 

Melissa took a sip of her milk, and shook her head calmly. "I'm not tired, I'm just reading a book, there's no need to worry!"

Leonard's nose fluttered, his voice choked. "Actually, you don't have to try so hard. As long as I…"

"Since when did you become so fussy?" Mellisa put down her cup and teased him. "I'm not only fighting for you, this is also for myself. Why are you complaining!"

Leonard. "..."

He was helpless. Seeing Mellisa's innocent expression, he couldn't bear it.

If not for him, how could Mellisa be willing to read all those books diligently?

In the past, Mellisa was a free and unruly child, and what irritated her the most was being restrained and studying.

Now, for Leonard's sake, she had to do something she hated the most.

Leonard's heart was hot, and all his persuasion was flatly rejected.

A few minutes later, he adjusted his mood and saw that Mellisa had finished her breakfast. "There's a family dinner in the Flower Hall tonight, so I can't accompany you by then. You have to eat alone for the evening."

Mellisa wiped the corners of her mouth. "It's okay, I have a lot of classes this afternoon. I also plan to talk to a financial advisor for the time being."

"Alright, try not to go out at night. If you want to go out, wait until I get back."

Leonard's instructions made Mellisa sense something unusual. She narrowed her eyes and asked. "Is there something different in this banquet?"

Leonard then replied casually. "Today's family dinner is to celebrate my recovery."

Melissa raised her eyebrows. "Are you serious?"

"Of course!" Leonard smiled deeply, lifting his chin. "My uncle's family pays great attention to me and coincidentally has a family dinner tonight, I'll let them see the truth one by one!"

Mellisa suddenly remembered one thing. "Are you also going to talk about what Lyle heard that day??"

Leonard's eyes shone as he heard it. "Of course!"

...

At 5:30 pm, Mellisa was still in the study room and the Adler family's financial advisor was still teaching her. In the Flower Hall pavilion, several people were already seated at a long table. 

Basically, all family members of the main and branch are invited to attend.

Leonhart and his wife Michelle sat in the place of honor, Leonard on their left side, and Lockhart and Luke sitting in front of them.

The aura surrounding these people wasn't too pretentious at the beginning, all of these smiles and laughters, be it genuine or not, shouldn't spoil anyone's good mood.

At this time, Luke was staring at Leonard with a grim face.

There was hope in his left eye, even after three days, a bruise that hasn't healed was still visible at the corner of his mouth.

Before eating, Lockhart gave the Patriarch a faint look, and took a sip from his teacup on the table. "Leonard's eyes... Have they healed?"

Leonard raised his eyes and stared at him, lifting the teacup to give him a faint gesture. "Uncle, you don't have to worry anymore.. The doctor my mother brought from abroad is really great. Thanks to the medicine and treatment, my eyes can finally see!"
