Chapter 367
Life for Leo was extremely difficult in the Smith family.
He was kicked out of Coraland by Ben and was ordered not to return to the country.
Leo wanted to sneak back to the country several times.
But Ben’s power was overwhelming.
Not to mention returning to the country, he couldn’t even book a plane ticket.
After several attempts, Leo gave up.
After all, even if he used all his scheming to return to the country, what would it matter?
In Coraland, Ben’s power would only be greater. If he went back, he would be like a sheep entering a tiger’s den.
Leo chose to accept his fate.
But life in the Smith family was different from what he had imagined.
First of all, Isabella’s parents did not approve of him.
The Smith family was considered a prestigious family in Riowert, but Isabella chose to be with him.
The members of the Smith family constantly whispered malicious words to him, trying to drive him away so that Isabella could marry someone else.
After so many things, Leo had already lost his feelings for Isabella.
But if he left, he had no place to go.
Although the Smith family didn’t treat him well, they were a family that cared about their reputation. As long as he was thick–skinned, he would always have food and drink.
If he ran out of money, he could still ask Isabella for some,
But this kind of life was completely different from before.
Leo sometimes regretted it.
He thought, ‘Why did I insist on opposing Ben at that time?
I know him. After all, we are brothers. As long as I didn’t cross his bottom line, Ben would definitely arrange a good future for me. But I chose a completely different path. Who is responsible for all this?”
Leo couldn’t help but think of Isabella.

In fact, if Isabella hadn’t appeared, if she hadn’t awakened his ambition, he would probably still be a coward and live a comfortable life under Ben’s suppression.
But now, he found himself living under the Smith family’s roof and couldn’t keep his head up.
Leo regretted it, but he had no choice.
The only thing he could do now was to hold onto Isabella’s thigh.
He couldn’t understand as a grown man, he would end up like this.
But he didn’t dare to venture out on his own.
The more Leo thought about it, the more distressed he became, and the more he felt that he was unlucky.
He was about to open his computer and play a game to distract himself when he noticed a new email.
Leo casually clicked on it.
Originally, he just glanced at it, but after a while, he was shocked.
This email contained a report on Susan’s fertility test.
At the same time, there was a seductive message.
The person who sent the email told him Susan had difficulty getting pregnant, but Ben was lovesick and would never
abandon her.
So, the lineage of the Landor family would definitely end here.
The person who sent the email also said Charlie was dissatisfied with Ben and Susan because of this, and Charlie thought of his goodness and eagerly wanted him to come back home.
Leo originally had some regrets about his opposition to Ben before.
But after reading this email, He didn’t regret it at all.
He thought, ‘This is truly a blessing from heaven.
The people of the older generation, like Charlie, definitely value inheritance.
“Now, Ben is willing to sacrifice his future generations for a woman. Isn’t this suicidal?
‘Now, I am the only person who can have descendants of the Landor family.
‘If I can go back home, Grandpa will definitely value me!
‘That huge Storm Group, is it going to be passed on to an outsider in the future?
“If I have children, the group should be passed on to my children.

“Ben has struggled all his life, and it turns out that everything is mine.
‘Indeed, someone like me is destined to be extraordinary.
The hardships of the first half of my life are just to make my second half soar!”
Leo forcefully calmed his excited state and continued reading.
The mysterious person who sent the email also mentioned that she could find a way to bypass Ben’s surveillance and let him return to Coraland.
Leo’s face lit up.
He didn’t think this email was fake.
After all, someone like him was not worth being deceived.
The reason why this person was going to great lengths to help him should be because they had a grudge against Ben.
After all, Ben had many friends and enemies due to his position.
But Leo didn’t think this had anything to do with him.
As long as he could return to Coraland, as long as he could return to the Landor family, Leo didn’t care about anything else.
Excitedly, he gave a positive reply.
Then he closed the computer and went to find Isabella.
Isabella was dressed up and ready to go out.
Leo was not doing well, but Isabella was living a good life. Besides listening to some gossip, she ate and drank well and often went shopping and attended banquets.
Leo felt a little heartbroken about this, but considering that he was living in her home, he dared not say much.
But now, Leo felt confident!
He said in a deep voice, “Where are you going today?”
Isabella glanced at him sideways, not bothering to even respond, and walked straight out.
Originally, Leo would have endured it.
But now, he didn’t want to endure it anymore..
He confidently said, “Isabella, if you dare to leave this door today, we will get a divorce.”
Isabella stopped
Isabella stopped in her tracks and looked at Leo with surprise.

Chapter 367
She didn’t understand where Leo got the confidence to speak to her like this!
Leo said with full confidence, “You can go ahead, but in the future, you won’t have a penny of the Landor family’s wealth.”
Isabella burst into laughter directly, saying. “The Landor family? Are you still thinking about inheriting the Landor family? Leo, what kind of daydream are you having!”
Even though they had a period of true love between them, in the face of reality, it had already been completely shattered.
Now, Isabella only felt disdain and unwillingness towards Leo.
Disdain for being with such a man.
Unwillingly, she thought to herself, ‘How did I end up with such a man?”
“Daydreaming?” Leo retorted loudly, “What if Susan cannot bear children? Do you still think I’m daydreaming?”
Isabella hesitated for a moment and instinctively said, “That’s impossible!”
She clearly remembered in her past life that Susan had given birth to children, and even twins, which was a perfect
outcome.
“Why is it impossible?” Leo confidently replied, “Susan was forced to give blood to Yana, and it damaged her body. The doctors said it would be extremely difficult for her to conceive.”
Isabella blinked.
She suddenly realized that this was not impossible.
In her past life, she did not intervene.
The Nicholas family was able to find Susan smoothly without any interference from Yana.
But now, because of her meddling, the Nicholas family was initially misled to Yana’s side.
That was why Susan was forced to give blood.
So, even though she couldn’t change the fact that Susan and the Nicholas family recognized each other, her meddling still made an impact.
She thought, ‘Is Susan really unable to conceive?
Isabella’s heart suddenly raced.
She felt like she had caught a huge opportunity.
Suppressing her excitement, Isabella asked, “Who told you this? Are you really sure?”
Leo snorted coldly, arrogantly saying, “Ben has been at odds with Grandpa because of the issue of succession. If I have a child, Grandpa will definitely hand over the Landor family to me. Even the Storm Group is worth considering. Now, I am in a
Chapter 367
rare position, so naturally, there are people who are willing to cooperate with me. It doesn’t matter who told me. What matters is that I can return to Coraland soon,”
Isabella said, “That person has a way to avoid Ben’s surveillance and bring you back to Coraland?”
“Of course,” Leo proudly replied, “Someone without skills wouldn’t have the ability to cooperate with me.”
Isabella’s expression Immediately changed.
“Alright, you can go now,” Leo said, looking at Isabella with confidence.
A radiant smile appeared on Isabella’s face.
She softly said, “We’ve been married for so long. There’s no need to speak so formally. A wife should follow her husband wherever he goes. If you’re going back to Coraland, of course I’ll go with you. Do you need anything prepared? I’ll take care of it immediately.”
Isabella had always been dissatisfied when she left Coraland.
Now that she had the opportunity to go back and even had the hope of inheriting a huge family fortune, how could she let go of such a good opportunity?
Isabella’s attitude was extremely gentle.
Leo smiled, his face full of arrogance. “Nothing else. Just prepare some money. If we want to inherit the Storm Group, we need to spend money to establish connections.”
“Okay, I’ll go ask my parents for some money,” Isabella said naturally.
“Go ahead. Leo waved his hand.
Isabella didn’t attend the banquet anymore and happily went to find her parents.
Although her parents were not satisfied with the husband Isabella had found, they still loved her dearly as their only daughter.
When they saw Isabella, her mother, Sloane, smiled, “Isabella, you look so beautiful. Are you going out to have fun?”
“That was my original plan. But now there’s something more important. Mom, how much money do we have at home? Give it all to me,” Isabella said directly.
Her father, Oliver, frowned. “What do you need the money for?”
Isabella told her parents what Leo had told her.
She added, “Mom and Dad, this is the entire Landor family plus the Storm Group. If you give me all the money, consider it an investment. When my child inherits the Storm Group in the future, won’t you get a return on your investment?”
After Isabella finished speaking, she eagerly waited for her father to give her the money on the spot.

However, Oliver frowned and spoke in a cold tone, “Isabella, haven’t I told you not to antagonize Ben?”
“Dad, how is this considered antagonizing?” Isabella became anxious. “Susan can’t have children herself. The Landor family’s assets need someone with the Landor family blood to inherit them. Once I have a child, that child will be the only descendant of the Landor family. Who else would the assets go to?”
However, Oliver was not as optimistic.
He said expressionlessly, “Someone like Ben will only give if he wants to. If you try to take the initiative, you’re only courting
death!”
“Dad!” Isabella couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “Such a big opportunity is right in front of us, and you’re still so
timid?”
Oliver glared at her. “In any case, you stay at home, and don’t you dare go Coraland.”
Isabella furrowed her eyebrows. “What if I insist on going?”
“Then I will consider you no longer my daughter,” Oliver said without hesitation.
“You…” Isabella stormed out in anger.
As she watched Isabella’s back, Sloane’s face revealed a worry. “Oliver, with our daughter acting like this, I’m afraid she will step into trouble with the Landor family.”
Oliver frowned. “If she angers Ben, not only will she be in danger herself, but our whole family could be implicated.”
Sloane instinctively touched her stomach.
She hadn’t told Isabella yet
A few days ago, she had just been confirmed to be pregnant, and this time, it was a boy.
Originally, they had wanted to groom Isabella as the heir.
Oliver had been investigating for a while and found that Isabella had no business talent at all. Instead, she often had some strange ideas that she considered clever.
He gave up on this idea and instead decided to find a good husband for Isabella so that her husband could support the Smith family and she could continue to live in luxury.
However, Isabella did not like the person he found for her and ended up marrying Leo.
Leo, who had great ambition but little talent, couldn’t be entrusted with the family business.
Oliver was extremely worried and spent this time looking for the next generation among his cousins to train them.
Unexpectedly, fate gave him a pleasant surprise.
His wife became pregnant again.

It was a boy.
With this, Oliver felt a sudden surge of hope.
As long as he could work for another twenty years, he could nurture this child. The Smith family would then have d
successor.
However, the prerequisite was that the Smith family could continue to prosper.
If Isabella tried to fight for the family assets from the Landor family and angered Ben, that would be a disaster.
In Oliver’s eyes, it was impossible for Isabella to successfully claim the Landor family’s wealth.
Oliver pondered, his eyes filled with a hint of coldness.
If Isabella insisted on returning to Coraland, then he would probably have to give up on his daughter.
Although making this choice was a bit painful, it was still better than burying the entire Smith family with her.
Oliver glanced at his wife’s belly, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
That was his hope, the hope of the Smith family.
Isabella had no idea that her father had already made the decision to give up on her.
She still believed that she was her parent’s only child and thought that no matter how willful she was, she could be forgiven.
So, even though she did not receive any money, she sold all her possessions and raised two million dollars in cash.
Then, following the instructions of the person behind the scenes, Isabella and Leo first went to Tonico and then took a private plane to secretly land in Coraland,
They thought the person behind the scenes was indeed quite capable.
They had actually managed to return to Coraland without anyone noticing.
Isabella and Leo were pondering how to proceed with their plan when Isabella came across a news article in the
newspaper.
Her parents had actually announced in the newspaper that they had severed their father–daughter and mother–daughter relationships with her.
Isabella was shocked, thinking, “I just left secretly. Do they really have to sever ties with me?‘
Leo glanced at it and coldly snorted. “They will regret it in the future.”
Isabella gritted her teeth and decisively nodded, thinking. ‘Yes, they will regret it in the future! When my child inherits the Landor family and the Storm Group, even if they cry and beg me to go home, I won’t return. This is the consequence of them abandoning me today!‘
