Chapter 233
As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Leonando to say anything, Margery went straight
into the ward.
After being slapped twice by Margery. Maria got so angry that her eyes were almost spewing fire. She
was about to rush in and demand an explanation from Margery, but Leonardu stopped her.
As she watched Margery enter the ward, Leonardo showed no intention of stopping Margery. Maria,
fueled by some unknown strength, pushed Leonardo forcefully, causing him to sta gger.
Raising her hand, she fiercely slapped Leonardo’s handsome face twice.
“You ungrateful wretch! You’ve been enchanted by that fox. Are you really my son? When that woman
hit me, you just stond there. How can I love a son like you?”
As if that wasn’t enough to vent her anger, Maria clenched her fists and punched Leonardo’s chest
hard, as if she wanted to unleash all her fury toward Margery on Leonardo.
Leonardo frowned and grunted a couple of times but showed no signs of stopping her, allowing Maria
to vent her anger on him.
However, the quieter Leonardo remained, the angrier Maria became. She used both her hands and feet
without any hesitation, showing no mercy as she attacked Leonardo,
The onlookers were stunned. They had witnessed rural old women throwing tantrums and causing a
scene, but they had never imagined that the mother of the Brooks Groups CEO could be even more
fierce than those rural old women.
Not only did she lack the elegance and grace of wealthy families, but she also even seemed less
refined than the rowdiest ruffians. She didn’t care about her son’s reputation at all and didn’t hesitate to

“Mrs. Maria Brooks, please stop! If you keep hitting Mr. Leonardo Brooks, he will get hurt.”
When Maria rushed over, Jacob had already turned off the live broadcast.
Knowing about the commotion Maria caused at BUT Group yesterday. Jacob was worried that she
might cause even more serious trouble. If everything were broadenst live, there would be no way to fix
the situation. So, without seeking Leonardo’s permission, Jacobs turned off the live broadcast.
Now, witnessing this succession of dramas and Maria relentlessly punching Leonardo, Jacob sighed
inwardly, feeling relieved that he had acted preemptively.
Otherwise, there would be such headlines. Jansen Group’s CEO’s Mother Slaps Brooks Group’s
CEO’s Mother in the Face”
“Brooks Group’s CEO Gets Slapped by His Mother”
“Brooks Group’s CEO’s Mother Causes Chaos in the Hospital Like a Shrew
Each would take over tomorrow’s headlines if it was broadcasted.
If all of these headlines were to be broadcast, they would dominate the hottest search terms for at least
half a year, greatly damaging Leonardo’s reputation and credibility.
Although he thought this way, even as an outsider, Jacob couldn’t help but feel sorry for Leonardo as
he watched Maria relentlessly assault Leonardo.
Deep down, Jacob wondered if Maria was truly Leonardo’s biological mother. How could a mother not
care about her son’s reputation so much? Morcower, Leonardo’s identity was far from ordinary.
As much as he pondered, Jacob didn’t dare to say a word. All he could do was to silently sympathize
with Leonardo. Even Leonardo’s past outbursts and cold demeanor could be attributed to Maria’s
violence and irrational behavior. After all, it was impossible for anyone to have a good temper with such
a mother who constantly caused trouble and made a scene. At that moment, Jacob’s heart went out to
Leonardo, and he couldn’t help but think of his own kind mother back home. Once this situation was
resolved, he was determined to buy something nuraningful and send it back to his mother to thank her
for all the years of care and affection.
With this thought in mind, Jacob realized how fortunate lie was to have relatively few troubles, even
though he didn’t possess much wealth.
“What are you? Get lost!”
Maria didn’t spare even Leonardo, and her aggression toward his secretary Vas even likite severe.
While it was awkward for Jacob to intervene, he knew his own grievances were insignificant compared
to Leonardo’s suffering. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward, attempting to stop the chaos.
However, Maria completely disregarded Jacob and continued her violent attack, even hitting Jacobs a
few times. Jacobs cried out in pain, further adding to the chaos of the scene.

Observing Lardo’s apathetic expression as if nothing was happening, his face showing no change
except for indifference and cold. Jacob stifled his impulse to shom for help.
After a king une, Maria seemed to have tired herself out, punting heavily as she glared at Leonardo
with intense hostility. It didn’t look like she was looking at her own son: instrail, her gaze held the
bitterness of an enemy with a deep grudge.
Meeting Maria’s eyes Leonardo felt a pang of heartache, but he swiftly buried Isis emotions. He then
turned his attention to Jacobs, who was rubbing his arms in pain.
“Arrange for someone to clean up this place. 1 don’t want anyone else disturbing Rosalind’s rest. I also
won’t tolerate any more harmful rumors spreading online. If anyone dares to test my patience again, let
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThomas deal with them!”
Leonardo’s words sent a shiver down Jacob’s spine. It was the first time he had heard such a stern
command from Leonardo.
Jacob thought, “Harudle it… what did that mean? It could be dealing with a company, or… lives…”
“Yes, yes. Jaralı bowed slightly, his expression serious and apprehensive.
Leonardo took a deep breath, glancing at the ward door nearby. He yearned to go inside and see the
woman he had been thinking about, but he understood that he lacked the right to do so at the moment.
After a long stare at the ward, Leonardo turned around and calmly carried Maria on his shoulder. He
remained steadfast, even in the face of her punches and curses.
Jonas, Kyle and the rest observed Leonardo as he walked away, their eyes fixed on his retreating
figure for a long time.
“Leonardo caused Rosalind to get hurt. I initially wanted to give him a good beating, but now I can’t
help but feel like he is… somewhat pitiful!
Hearing Jonas words. Kyle, for the first time, didn’t argue
“I also find him a bit pitiful”
Both Maria and Rosalind were the people Lunardo loved and cared for the most. However, now these
two were at olds like water and fire, with Leonardo caught in the middle. He couldn’t raise a land or
scold his mother, and he couldn’t see Rosalind either. How could he not be pitied
Damian impatiently patted both of their shoulders.
“What’s so pitiful about him? As the CEO of Brooks Group, he is a powerful man, but he can’t even
protect his own woman. Why do you still pity him?”
Damian was truly disappointed in Leonarda Knowing he had such a mother, Damian made up his mind
to follow Margery’s example and ensure that Rosalind and Lennards would never cross paths again
With this thought, Damian glanced at Jonas, who was handsome but lacked stability. Since Jonas had
deep feelings for Rosalind, Darnian wondered if they would have a better life together.
