My Supermodel Wife

Hearing this, Leonhart frowned unintentionally. "You are too careless to use this method. If there is nothing wrong with them, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Leonard saw his father\'s disapproval, and he raised his hand and knocked on the table, then said with a relaxed posture. "Of course I thought about it, but this is only the first step. If the batch of goods turns out to be safe, and if Luke didn\'t take my bluff, then I\'ll get someone to hold the container at the port."

"In this way, they will try their best to reclaim their cargo. Then, when they don\'t have time and focus on it, I\'ll send a lawyer to appeal Lyle\'s case."

"Father, your worries are completely unnecessary. The ten containers belong not only to Uncle Lockhart, but also the Grahams as well. Even if Luke didn\'t take my bait, the Grahams couldn\'t sit still and watch. Under these circumstances, they can only obey me."

Leonard finished speaking and Leonhart didn\'t say anything.

He held the teacup, his eyes slowly sinking into deep thoughts.

After a while, Leonhart suddenly sighed, and said, "Son, you just tricked them to catch them off guard. But why did you ever think that the key was in the harbor?"

Leonard paused for a moment to tap his fingers on the table, then looked up. He stared into the dark night, his tone becoming very sharp. "Since Luke has used drugs on me before, I asked Lawrence to check the medicine. It is a special antibiotic imported from abroad, and it is prohibited from circulating in Indonesia."

"It\'s hard to find the pill here, but he was able to use it and put it in my meals for two months straight. If it wasn\'t for the illegal smuggling, I don\'t believe he could have gotten so many drugs."

"And because of that, I started investigating the flow of their shipments from overseas. Luke\'s reaction was enough to prove that there must be something in those containers."

Leonhart looked at Leonard for a moment. "When did you find out that he was poisoning you?"

"The second week after I got back to Bandung, there were signs of blur in my eyes. Then I secretly investigated, and apparently, someone in the back kitchen helped Luke to poison my food."

"Such antibiotics… if consumed in a long term use can cause blindness. More than a month ago, I started pretending to be blind, and Luke completely let go of his guard and stop giving me the medicine."

Leonard\'s explanation made Leonhart nod lightly. "I see, you\'re going fast with your development indeed. In the Adler family, you have to be familiar with all kinds of tricks in fighting for the heir position."

"The extended family is still out of the country, but it won\'t be long before they\'ll be back. If you can\'t suppress just one branch family, I am afraid that this Patriarch position is not suitable for you. Even if I hand it over to you by force, your power will only last for a short time."

Leonhart\'s attitude seemed natural for this kind of thing. Leonard pursed his thin lips, and a hint of cold air rose in his heart.

This was his family. In the end, the most powerful and capable will rule the weak and the weak will not stay silent and do as he says.

"I know, don\'t worry."

Leonhart tiredly pinched the area under his eyebrows. "Since you know what you\'re doing, I won\'t say more. Go back and remember to keep an eye on your uncle and his family\'s movements."

"Their import and export trade was their own business, and I never interfered in the first place. As for what was wrong with that batch of items, you should think carefully about how to handle it. Even if the Adler family is in chaos internally, we still have to leave behind a clean and formidable reputation in the eyes of outsiders."

Leonard nodded while looking at his father, he then stood up and said goodbye before leaving the Flower Hall.

...

The next day, at ten in the morning, Leonard didn\'t come out, but sat in his study surrounded by smoke and fog.

Mellisa had gone to his father\'s study, and the servants in the villa were also busy doing their job.

In less than ten minutes, the old butler hastily knocked on the door, his tone filled with excitement. "Young master, young master Luke is here, and young master Lyle is also back!"

He really came!

Leonard\'s cold gaze fell on the cigarette butt in his hand, and his thin lips filled with ridicule.

Luke\'s presence as he sent Lyle back was enough to prove that there was clearly a problem with their delivery at the dock.

Leonard picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

"It\'s me, Leonard."

On the phone, Agung, his subordinate when he was still a police officer in Jakarta, answered in a worried tone. "Captain, have you lost your cell phone? You always call me from your home phone, don\'t you know that your cellphone has a contact saving function now?"

Agung teased him, and his tone was very familiar.

Leonard pursed his lips. "Focus first, you are now sending an anonymous letter to customs to check the shipment held at Queen Harbor. Ask them to open the entire container for inspection, and inspect everything regardless of size, especially… illegal drugs."

After hearing the voice, Agung tightened his face. "No problem, I\'ll do it in a moment. But ... is it useful to send letters anonymously? Wouldn\'t it be more appropriate to report under the real name? Or maybe I\'m using the name of my department so they can investigate it faster!"

As the words fell, Agung heard Leonard\'s cursing. "Fool! If you\'re not afraid of being targeted, just report it with your real name.

Before Agung could even talk back, their call had been hung up.

He looked at his phone\'s screen, and was shocked in cold sweat after thinking for a moment.

Isn\'t he afraid of being targeted?

Agung should have realized that his ex-captain was trying to protect him.

...

In less than five minutes, Leonard stubbed out his cigarette and exited the study.

At the door below the villa, Luke was sitting in the car with a somber expression.

Lyle was walking excitedly in the yard, he can be seen stretching his arms for a while, kicking in the air, seeming to be enjoying his freedom.

Just as Luke was getting a little impatient, a man slowly came out of the hall.

As soon as he saw Leonard he got out of the car, he said, "I brought him back for you!"

Leonard caught a glimpse of Lyle\'s figure and slightly pursed his lips. "Thank you."

"You don\'t need to thank me, I want the problem at the port solved within an hour."

Luke\'s straightforward words made Leonard look at him questioningly. "Luke, did you make a mistake?\'

"What do you mean?" Luke looked at his expression, but felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, Leonard raised his eyes and looked around, then smacked the corner of his mouth, and said, "I don\'t have the ability to let people hold your things. Imported goods must go through strict inspections. Even if your belongings are seized, it\'s not in my control."

Luke\'s eyes widened. "Leonard, what are you talking about?"

"If your belongings have been seized, it has nothing to do with me. It\'s useless even if you try to ask me for help."

Luke felt like he was being struck by lightning, then looked at him with blood stained eyes. "You… Did you really trick me?"

"Yes, and?"

Leonard\'s inner pupils focused on Luke\'s anger. In his heart, he kept chuckling.

"Did you just realize it? Besides, if your belongings are really being seized, you should meet with the police and not me… So what\'s the point of you coming here?"
