The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 530

"Sit on Leah's chair. I am sure her mother will find another spot for her," he said, and I sat on the chair with pleasure.

It was presumptuous of Joan to do this.

To my surprise, Linda was beside me, and I looked and saw Theo. Avery and Marcel sat at the head of the table.

Leo whispered that since Sylvester wasn't here, Marcel was the highest person, followed by Theo, then him, and so on. I looked at the seating arrangement and noticed Leo's explanation matched what I saw.

It was really presumptuous for Joan to place Leah between Linda and Leo. Leo wasn't dating her, and she was not higher than Leo.

Soon everyone came and settled down. Leah came to where I was; honestly, I missed her face.

"You are in my seat, maid," She said through gritted teeth. Her mother wasn't anywhere near to caution her.

"Hey, watch your tone! Is that how you speak to Councilman Albert's mate?" Linda asked, Leah tried to calm down not to offend Linda, but I knew she would offend Linda. It was in her character to do so.

"She isn't his mate. She is his maid. She clean..." She started, and Leo shut her up. He used his authority, and everyone was affected.

"How dare you insult my mate, Leah? Why would you want to place yourself beside me? Have I ever shown any interest in you? I want you to apologise to Amelia immediately, or I will have a serious problem with your family.

"Councilman, please," I heard Joan's pleading voice coming from the entrance.

She had either waited by the door thinking her daughter would succeed and rushed in when it blew up, or she honestly had no idea what was happening and walked in.

Either way, they were going to fail tonight. At least everyone now knew Leo and I were together.

"Please forgive her. It was my fault. I was presumptuous to place her tag beside you, and she was really eager to sit with you tonight. I am sorry for the misunderstanding," Joan said with a smile and then looked at her daughter.

"Come, I will create a seat for you beside me." She said, motioning her daughter to walk away, but Leo grabbed Leah's hand, and I heard Black growl. From the way Leah flinched, it was definitely painful.

"Apologise to my mate now," he said with a low dangerous voice.

Leah was uncomfortable, and she looked at her mother. Her mother did not dare speak. It was clear they were linking each other.

"I am sorry for my outburst, Amelia," Leah said, and I noticed Leo squeeze harder.

"Ouch," Leah whimpered.

"Not good enough, Leah. I want a proper apology. You did not only yell at her to get off your seat; you insulted her, calling her a maid. Apologise," he said, and I felt his alpha command. Tears began to stream down her cheek.

"Leo, you're hurting me," she said, trying to appeal to him, but Leo didn't flinch.

"It is Councilman Albert to you," He corrected her, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

Leah looked hurt and betrayed. Had I not known the truth, I would think he had something with her and broken her heart by bringing me to their house, but I was there in the east. I heard and saw everything and decided Leah's mind had nothing to do with reality.

"I am sorry for insulting you, Amelia," She said in tears, and he let her go. Her mother motioned her to sit, but Leah was too embarrassed. She left the dining room immediately, and Joan thought of a stupid excuse for her telling the guest she had gone to gather herself.

We all know she was just too ashamed of what happened.

Honestly, I did not care.

I was glad Leo stood up for me, and I did not need to say a word. I wondered how the rest of the night would go. One thing was sure, Joan and Leah would stay clear of Leo and me.
