After being discharged from the hospital, he was ordered to drop out of school. The Walter family’s company also suffered from this incident and soon went bankrupt. The whole family moved away from New York with a dejected look.
“Cough, at that time Lenny got arrested, Robert was really angry and specifically ordered to keep him in custody for a few days. But Bella felt sorry for him and cried in front of Robert all day, which annoyed Robert. Later, Lenny was released by Robert. The Stark’s villa also gave the Walter family a huge compensation to reach a settlement. Because of this, Lenny also got a beating from Robert.”
After speaking, Darryl looked meaningfully at Mariela and said, “Sister, at that time, I was completely clueless and didn’t realize that Lenny was hitting someone because he liked you. I thought he was just standing up for you as your older brother when you were being bullied. It was only recently that I found out that this guy Lenny had been planning this for a long time.”
Mariela listened and felt a mix of emotions, her fingers gripping the glass turning pale.
She didn’t expect that Lennon had also fought for him and almost killed someone.
She felt a wave of fear in her heart.
She was afraid of dragging him down.
Lennon was always seen as a good child in the eyes of his parents, a good student in the eyes of his teachers, and an unreachable prodigy in the eyes of his peers. His future seemed bright, but if he were to bear the burden of taking someone’s life, she would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Mariela blinked her eyes, feeling a slight sourness in her nose.
Returning to Eclipse Apartments was already early morning.
The night wind was cold, and the moonlight was chilly and desolate.
After getting off the car, Mariela walked forward without saying a word.
Lennon followed her into the neighborhood and said, “Marie, don’t be angry.”
Mariela still did not speak.
Back at the apartment, Mariela was about to close the door when Lennon squeezed in, looking hurt.“Marie, are you afraid of me?”
He explained somewhat flustered, “Don’t be afraid of me, I don’t have a violent tendency, let alone domestic violence. That day, I was just provoked by what he said, I can’t stand anyone speaking about you like that.”
Mariela looked up at him and sighed helplessly, “Lenny, I wasn’t afraid of you, let alone afraid of domestic violence. I was just worried about you.”
Lennon lightly pursed his lips and gently pulled her into his arms, “It’s okay, it’s all in the past.”
Mariela leaned against him, her eyes welled up with tears, her voice choked a little, “Don’t be so impulsive in the future. If you really end up killing someone, you will ruin your whole life unnecessarily. It’s not necessary to do this for me.”
