Entwined With the Villainous Guardian
Chapter 341: Leon Michaels

Chapter 341: Leon Michaels

Leonardo reached Vito only to see Ferdinand Arment on his father’s feet. "Help me find who that is, Don," Ferdinand kissed Vito’s feet. "I’m a dead man walking and I will die after killing the vermin who ruined me."

Vito looked at the bald head of Ferdinand and stared at him for a minute letting him kiss his feet. Leonardo had a feeling that his father wanted Ferdinand dead. He put his hands on his gun waiting for his father’s order.

"Leonardo, send our people to salvage every possible gold," Vito said looking up. "And collect every detail you can find about the explosion. Don’t let the cops near."

"Yes, Dad," Leonardo nodded and walked away.

He had a lot of questions. His father was under the impression that Leander Kastello might do something to that ship. And now, the ship has exploded. If his father asks him to pretend, he didn’t know, who did it, then it means that his father still suspects that Leander was behind it.

He is trying to protect Minerva.

By taking up this job, his father is taking control of the narrative. It’s like giving the keys to the locker to the thief. In the end, whoever his father points at would be the culprit, not Leander, if he was the one behind it.

He will do what his father says. His father will deal with this the best way he can. He too wanted to know if Leande indeed was the person behind this.

He also wanted to know what Leander’s plans were. To touch the untouchable gold is the goal of many robbers. But what was he doing by just blowing it all up? It’s such a waste.

Leonardo ordered his men to do what his father asked him to do. Ignazio went with the men and so Leonardo was relaxed.

As she was about to return back to the party hall, he got a call from his dad. "Make sure to check the camera footage in our compound," he said. "That guy might come for Ferdinand next."

Leonardo wondered what that was about.

Maybe Dad thinks that Leander was in here to meet Minerva... By the way, where is she?

It was not hard for Leonardo to find Viviana. He sighed seeing her going through the list of the names of the staff in the house.

Did he already meet her.

"Did you find him?" he whispered in her ear.

"Who?" Viviana jerked. She didn’t even notice her brother getting near her.

"Your dead husband," Leonardo whispered in her ear.

"Isn’t he dead?" Viviana raised her brows. "You kept on saying that."

Leonardo rolled his eyes.

"Whose ship sunk?" Viviana asked.

She had a feeling that the explosion might be related to Leander.

Leonardo shrugged. He cannot reveal too much to her right now in this place.

"Did you find him?" he asked.

Viviana wetted her lips. She thought he might use the name Michael but almost every male appeared to have the name Michael. There were almost hundred catering staff hired officially for the party and she saw more then twenty Michaels and Michels, and Mikhails in them. She was lost.

Maybe Leander sneaked in wearing the caterer’s uniform. His name probably isn’t here in the list.

"He wouldn’t have registered if he was sneaking in, you know," Leonardo said.

"But he wanted to let me know," she said. "I heard him say..." she bit her lips. She didn’t want to let everyone know what his nickname for her is. Leonardo wouldn’t let her hear the end of it if she says her nickname, is Lemon.

"He could have just walked in and met with you," Leonardo said. "We wouldn’t have stopped him."

Viviana glared at him. Why is he making sense?

"Maybe he still has unfinished business." Viviana took another look at the tab.

Leonardo didn’t say anything more. He didn’t want to rain on her parade. Plus, he was doubtful. Even if that guy came here to meet her on the way of destroying the gold, why did he leave without letting her know for sure that he is alive? What game is he playing?

He ended up getting angry at Leander for taunting the fragile heart of his sister this much. If he loved her, will he taunt her like this? What a prick!

Viviana looked through the names once more. This time, rather than looking just for the name Michael, she read each name in her heart. There were a lot of names. But one name made her stop.

Leon Michaels.

She read that name again and again as she couldn’t get past that name. Just like the day she met Leander on that rooftop, she got reminded of Leona as she read that name.

"Do you have any contact details for the staff here?" she asked the manager of the catering service.

"Yes, Ma’am," he said.

"Mind telling me the address and phone number of Leon Michaels?" she asked.

"Ah, Micky... He should be here," the manager said. "He’s been with us for more than a month and he’s a hard worker," he said.

"He cooks?" Viviana asked.

"Yes. He made the crab cakes today. He is the best," the manager said.

Viviana’s heart sank hearing that.

Her Leo doesn’t cook. He doesn’t even know how to properly butter a bread. He wouldn’t be cooking crab cakes for a bunch of people.

It can’t be him.

"Someone find out where Michael Leon is," the manager asked.

Viviana wetted her lips. "Do you have a picture of him? Do you know what he looks like?" she asked.

The manager was stunned. He thought the princess of the Vitale family was asking about the guy because she found him attractive. But it appears that she has other reasons.

"Benny over there is his friend. You can talk to him," the manager said.

Viviana went to Benny who was at the end, frying snacks. He probably didn’t hear the conversation they had with the manager.

"Tell me everything you know about Leon Michaels," Viviana asked.

Benny blinked.

"What does he look like? What is his family like? Tell me everything. Do you have a picture?" Viviana stacked her questions.

Billy almost said that he didn’t know anything. But when he saw Leonardo, he changed his mind.

"Mickey? Mickey didn’t like to be called Leo. He has a beard and..."

"How tall is he?" Viviana interrupted him.

"About this... He’s almost the same height as Mr. Vitale," he [ointed at Leonardo.

Viviana let out a deep breath. "What is he like?"

"He... he kept to himself... and... he didn’t like to be photographed... he almost killed someone because he photographed someone. He disappears at times and..."

"We cannot find Mickey anywhere," the manager came to Leonardo and spoke. His face was pale as he was worried. The heirs of Vito Vitale are asking about his employee and now he disappeared. He could see his death.

"Where is his stuff?" Viviana asked.

Benny looked around. "Ah... he must have taken everything... except..." he handed her the fanny pack.

Leonardo covered his mouth and giggled. Why is his sister thinking that some gay guy is her husband.

Viviana gulped seeing the fanny pack. It was not even a dark colored or camouflage printed fanny pack. It was pink in color. She got a little doubtful seeing the baby pink fanny pack. Leander is the most masculine man she knew. He would not carry a pink fanny pack to save his life. And he cannot cook. He wouldn’t be working in a catering company.

Is he not the guy?

She got the fanny pack anyway and looked inside.

Please Leo... Please tell me you were here... Please...
