Chapter 90: Mother-in-law.
The trio got in the car and then they drove down the mountain. The journey down the mountain was more exciting for Lily than it was to climb the slope. Leo had been taking lessons in the virtual realm to improve his driving skills.
After a few minutes, they were on the highway and Lily said, "How come good rides end so quickly?"
The parents smiled and Leo said, "Love, open the tab and try to learn the music sheet for the song you have to play for the recital."
Sounded like Leo was a slave driver, but actually he was going to train her imagination. Lily asked, "How do I remember it without playing the keys?"
Leo smiled and said, "Do you remember the tone of the keys?"
Lily nodded and replied with a yes. Then the young man said, "Close your eyes, and imagine that you are sitting in front of the Piano. Then you can imagine yourself playing the music notes. No need to be fast, just remember the key placements. You can move your hands accordingly as well."
Lily nodded in agreement and she began to follow the tips just as Leo told her, and they drove on the highway. After fifteen minutes, Lily fell asleep, and Snow asked, "Did you do this so that she could sleep?"
Leo nodded and replied, "Imagination takes a toll on the energy we have, and I just want her to get used to this consumption. Gradually she would be able to visualize things better and a lot of skills would improve."
Snow smiled and nodded, she turned on the music in the car, and it played soft romantic songs. The couple hardly had the air where they could be romantic with each other. Thankfully, Lily was a heavy sleeper.
On the way they passed the research center, but Leo didn't go inside and continued heading back to the city. Snow and Leo took turns to drive continuously. The young man had the stamina of a horse, but Lily was exhausted.
After coming back home the young man carried the little girl inside the bedroom and tucked her in. Snow also took a shower and retreated to sleep. Leo approached Kyle who was on the night shift and asked, "How is it going Kyle?"
The guard replied, "All good, Sir. How was your trip?"
Leo nodded with a faint smile and then said, "Find me the details on Carlor Elliot, and I want his daily routine, also use the sources of the Pristine Security Company to leak the news that Trevor Marlin has been killed."
Kyle was surprised but he nodded. Leo went back in and after a shower, he fell asleep as well.
…
In the morning, he woke up a bit late from his sleep and then he headed out to find that Snow was setting up breakfast and Lily was sitting all dressed up. He asked, "Why are you up so early Lily? You can sleep when it is vacation time."
Lily shook her head and said, "Early worm gets the bird."
Snow froze, and Leo broke out in laughter as he said, "Baby, it is 'early bird gets the worm.' not how you said it."
Lily looked at Snow, who nodded and she stuck out her tongue. The family of three had breakfast and just Leo dressed up to head out to work, when Kyle came over, and said, "Young Miss, Miss Symphony is here."
Snow nodded and said, "Lily, you will stay with Sister Symphony, and be good. I will monitor you through the cam."
Lily nodded and said, "I will practice the Piano with her. Also, Ma, can we take Momo to the vet? She hasn't been checked lately."
Leo smiled as he scooped up his little darling and said, "In the evening, I will drive you over to the vet and we will drop Sister Symphony to her house as well. Okay?"
Lily nodded and kissed his cheek. The young man returned the gesture as he pinched her little nose gently before heading out. Symphony greeted him at the door before getting inside the house. Snow also had work and she was followed by another couple of guards.
…
Leo and Kyle sat in the car, and the young man asked, "Any progress about what I asked you?"
Kyle smiled and replied, "Fortunately, we have found that Carlos Elliot used to do a few shady dealings in the past. He has a record in the crime registry. Also, these days, he is busy seducing a young girl from the Angkor City University."
The young man smiled and then he replied, "Well, click some pictures and then send them to his wife with a detailed letter, giving her enough time to secure wealth and assets for herself and her son. Tell her to divorce Elliot as soon as possible before I launch a stroke on them."
After a few minutes, they reached the office and then Leo headed to his office. He used the triple extreme system to the fullest, on one screen he opened the emails that he received from Percie Hibiscal. On the other two screens he opened the dark net to trace the movement of his enemies.
As he suspected, the Marlin family has used their own method to suppress the video he leaked. He smirked and then he looked at Carole Primus, after a few searches he found that Spring had indeed tried to contact him, but thanks to the blockade set up by Leo in the past she couldn't get through directly.
It took him a few minutes to detect that Spring was going to attend the same event as Carole. However, looking at the country they were in, Leo chuckled and said, "Spring season is about to end too."
The young man picked up his phone and dialed a number. The call was connected swiftly, he asked, "Mark, am I bothering you?"
…
In a distant country, Mark was having a good time with a couple of beauties in his bed, then he put up a bitter smile and replied, "President, do you need anything?"
Leo spoke on the other side, "How about I tell you that a certain type of witch is currently dwelling near you? Would you like to inspect her?"
His ambiguous tone surprised Mark. The young man said, "Spring Marlin is in the country, how about you go and nab her. Tap her till you train her. What do you think?"

Mark was shocked, he sat up quickly and asked, "President, are you serious?"
Leo chuckled and then his voice suddenly turned cold as he said, "That woman dared to have ideas towards my child. She dared to slap my wife. She needs to die the most brutal kind of death that is possible. Make a video while fucking her, and then give it to me through the dark net. I will handle the rest."
Mark took a deep breath and said, "Yes, sir. It will be done."
Leo disconnected the call, and then he got to work. On the other hand, Kyle was busy preparing everything for the package to be sent to Elliot's house. The day passed normally, before a breaking news flashed before Leo's eyes, 'Just now we have received the news from the ambassador of the Stag Nation, it appears that the second lady of the Noble house of Marlin has decided to retire and give up on her noble rights.
It is being said that she did this to prevent internal struggle from consuming the harmony of her family. However, some experts are saying that it could be because of the recent debacle of Spring Marlin. She is being blamed for taking the fall.'
Leo raised his brow and said, "It seems that my mother-in-law has decided to leave one last gift for her husband."
It was evening when he received the call from Snow, and the latter said, "Leo, can you take a trip to the airport?"
The young man was at a loss, and then he sighed and replied, "Fine."
…
In the evening, Leo drove a sedan to the airport to pick up his Mother-in-law, Mrs. Anastasia Marlin. He arrived ahead of time, because Snow told him that her mother didn't like to wait for anyone.
While Leo was waiting in the parking area, Jock was standing outside the arrival terminal with a placard marked with Anastasia's name. Leo was going through a few details on his mobile when Jock arrived and knocked on the door.
The young man alighted the car and saw another guard placing the luggage inside the trunk. He looked at the other side and found a middle-aged woman dressed in an elegant cotton olive green blouse paired with a beige loose pant.
She was scrutinizing Leo from head to toe. The young man was also looking at her before he bowed her head and said, "Greetings, Madam Marlin."
The lady was surprised and raised her brow, "Are you that slow on catch up? I am no longer a noble lady."
Leo smiled and replied, "Nobility doesn't need a title, it comes from inside."
His words caused Anastasia to smile and she said, "I think I know how you managed to charm my daughter."
Leo shook his head and replied, "She was the one who charmed me, and I must say, the last rumor you created, very nicely done."
