CHAPTER 420 PRESENCE OF THE BROOKS FAMILY

Michelle said as she broke off from his hands, trying to keep away from the strange man.

Lydia still had no idea what was going on. She thought the man was just Michelle's admirer.

However, Leo narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and had a light flashing in them.

His hand also reached into his pocket subconsciously and felt the identity badge of the Cohen family.

Kate knitted her brows tighter, which indicated that she knew more about this.

She looked pretty displeased and asked, "You said she was your family?"

"Yes, she's the pearl of our family that had been long lost!"

The young man looked very serious. Then he looked at Michelle and made a standard aristocratic bow.

"Sorry for my rudeness and abruptness. I didn't mean to scare you."

"My name is Hayden Brooks, and I come from Valenham."

Leo's eyes radiated with a sparkle as soon as he said that.

His surname was Cohen, and he came from Valenham.

The simple introduction was enough for other people to know who the young man was.

At the same time, they finally figured out who was behind Kate's back.

The Cohen family, one of the royal families in Valenham.

Lydia's face became serious, too. Except for the Matthews family, all the other nine royal families were

bringing her huge pressure.

Michelle didn't know what was behind this. She thought the guy was just pursuing and harassing her.

She asked, "So what?"

Her thin and slanted eyebrows were raised as she said sullenly, "You come from Valenham... Were you

taught to get your hands on strangers there?"

"You get me wrong. You're the lady of our family who was lost over 20 years ago."

Hayden seemed like a very nice young guy. He still hadn't been mad and explained, "Our family sent

me here to find you and bring you home."

Michelle widened her eyes in surprise upon hearing that. "I'm the lady of your family? How's that

possible?"

"He was just telling you the truth!"

Just by then, a loud and clear voice came from outside.

When everyone turned around, they saw a white-haired old man striding in. He was giving out a

domineering and aristocratic aura.

"It's you?"

Seeing the old man, Leo raised his eyebrows and exclaimed in surprise.

The person coming in was Robbie, the housekeeper of the Cohen family.

He gave Leo a small smile and passed by him. Then he fixed his eyes on Michelle.

"Miss Brooks, we've had your background investigated. You're an orphan and grew up in an

orphanage. When you're five, you got adopted by a kind couple and have been with them ever since."

"They sent you to school. With your excellent ability and good grades, you were admitted to Valenham

Film and Television University. However, you dropped out of school and started to work for your family,

because your foster parents were seriously sick.

"Later, you were picked up by the Music Maestro, one of the seven personages in Country X, and

became his disciples. That was who you ended up in the entertainment industry. Am I right?"

Seeing her personal information getting exposed, Michelle's face turned ashen.

"How dare you pry my privacy?"

She clenched her fists tightly. They seemed to have dug almost all her information, which meant that

her family was under their spy, too.

Hayden shooks his head, "Prying? How about calling it 'learning'?"

"Actually, we paid a huge price for the badge. We've used a priceless identity badge as the bait.

However, instead of finding you, we got a fake."

Hayden said pointedly, and his gaze drifted to Leo, who had been standing aside and watching this

with cold eyes.

His mouth arched into a disdainful smile, and his eyes were full of hostility.

Hayden then continued, "It's a huge thing for the Cohen family, and we had strictly checked this time to

block those impostors before we found you. Your experience matched the timeline when we lost you.

That can't be a coincidence. You're our lost pearl!"

Hearing that, all the other chairmen looked at Michelle with their eyes taken over by shock and

admiration.

Ronnie was the most shocked one. He was the second eldest son of the Stewart family, and he had

heard so much about the royal families in Valenham

If Michelle could be taken home by the Cohen family and become a lady, the sky would be the limit of

her future.

However, Michelle's face turned gloomy when she heard that.

"That's just your side of the story. Do you really think I'll buy it? I'm not interested in being your lady. I

have my life and have things I want to do. I can't leave you just because of a story you made up."

Her face looked very decisive.

Hayden said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Miss. Our mission is to get you home, regardless of what you

think."

Robbie also said loudly, "Please go back with us, Miss!"

The sturdy men behind them strode over to Michelle.

Michelle kept stepping back and stammered, "What... What do you want?"

"Wait!"

Hayden remembered Something and suddenly stopped them.

A man stopped and looked back to wait for Hayden's instructions.

Hayden squinted his eyes and said, "We seemed to have forgotten something."

As he said that, his eyes stopped on Leo, flickering coldly.

"Turns out we've found the wrong person. You're not the missing child of our family, so you don't

deserve to have that badge. Now be smart and hand it over to us!"

All the on-lookers were more than surprised to hear that. They quickly stared at Leo.

They didn't know what the identity badge that Hayden referred to was, but there was one thing that

they knew for sure. Mr. Cohen, the person they relied on, had offended the Cohen family from

Valenham.

Leo's face seemed grim, but he didn't feel angry. Instead, he only said coldly, "That's odd. The badge

was just an unowned item at auction. Who paid for it owned it. I bought it, so it's mine now. What made

you think you can have it back?"

Hayden replied unsmilingly, "You paid 1.5 billion for the badge, and we'll pay as much. You have to give

us the badge!" This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

His tone sounded very commanding. The atmosphere of the place became tense and chilling.

Just when everyone thought Leo would hand it over, he suddenly scoffed contemptuously.

"I like this badge and want to keep it as a toy. I may give it to my daughter. How about I find Something

else for you?"

Hayden and Robbie looked at each other, and their face instantly darkened. They asked in a low voice,

"Something else? What will that be?"

Leo stood up and took out a black garbage bag from the trash can. With everyone watching, he threw it

in front of Hayden and said, "Here it is. Take it to the trash can downstairs!"

"Wow..."

As soon as he said that, other people felt their hearts losing beats and their breath accelerating.

Even Lydia looked at Leo in disbelief.

Hayden was representing the Cohen family, one of the royal families in Valenham!

It was as powerful as the Matthews family!

They couldn't believe Leo just threw a garbage bag at them, and ordered them to take it downstairs.

Hayden and Robbie paused for a second, and then their eyes were taken over by murderous intention.

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

However, Leo was sitting on his seat with a naughty expression.

"I've heard that people cherish everything from the Cohen family like treasure, even if it is garbage. In

that case, why can't you just help me to throw this out?"
