Supreme Mars novel Chapter 114

It was when night fell that Forrest finally called Leo.

"Mr. Cohen, I’ve got the information you asked for," Forrest began his introduction of Benedict. "His name is Benedict Hudson, and he comes from City S. He’s one of two sons of Stephen Hudson. At present, he is the marketing manager of the Hudson Group, his family business. The Hudson family is quite influential around Sallton and Winham, and they are as well-established as the four most powerful families from Emerdale. International Commerce Center used to be their private property. Later, they sold it to Justin Cox for some private reasons…"

Leo remained silent. Holding the phone and looking grim, he said in a cold voice, "I want the history between Lydia and him, not such useless information."

Sensing anger in his tone, Forrest replied cautiously at once, "Mr. Cohen, Ms. Henderson didn’t have a deep relationship with Benedict. Basically, it was Benedict who had a crush on her. It’s said that he used his shares in The Hudson family’s business to purchase International Commerce Center to win Ms. Henderson’s heart. But later, it seemed that something went wrong with his family business, and he sold International Commerce Center after he went back to City S."

"What went wrong exactly?"

Leo paid attention to anything related to Lydia, and wouldn’t ignore any detail.

"Benedict was fighting against his brother," Forrest continued earnestly. "Benedict isn’t Stephen’s biological son. The truth is, Stephen’s wife cheated on him with some other man and gave birth to Benedict. Benedict’s brother wanted to drive him away from the household, but instead, Benedict broke his limbs and kicked him out of the house."

Leo narrowed his eyes slightly as he heard that. "Sounds like Benedict is a man of character."

Forrest added as Leo said that, "Mr. Cohen, I wonder if I should tell you that…"

"What is it?" Leo raised his brows.

"Benedict will also attend the dinner party held by Peter tonight, and Caroline Ford will go with him."

"What?!" Leo was surprised to hear that, and then his eyes darkened. "So she’ll be his female companion tonight?"

"It seems so," Forrest told the truth. "Besides, our informer just took pictures of the two coming out of the hotel an hour ago."

After that, Forrest sent the pictures to Leo’s phone. In the pictures, Caroline was snuggling up to Benedict, her cheeks flushed. It was not hard to imagine what the two had done in the hotel room a little while ago.

Somehow, anger welled up inside Leo as he saw these pictures. It was not that he cared about Caroline, but he was enraged by her low self-esteem. Truly, the two of them fell out and became enemies, but Caroline was William’s biological daughter, and Leo felt obligated to take care of her.

Leo checked the time and said, "I’m going to Riverside Club right now. You’ll join me later."

"Yes, Mr. Cohen!"

Leo hung up the phone, stopped a taxi and rushed to Riverside Club, looking sullen.

He thought to himself, "Caroline, it seems that you’re lacking in self-respect, and I don’t mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of dad!"

Ten minutes later, Leo arrived at Riverside Club. Just as he was about to get in, the doorman stopped him. "Sir, please press your finger here."

Riverside Club was a membership-based club, and not all the rich people could just join it. Each club would register each of its members’ fingerprints, and the members could get in after their fingerprints were checked.

As Leo pressed his finger, the machine beeped and the red light flashed immediately. After that, a manager-looking man came out and drove Leo away.

"You’re not the member of Riverside Club. Get out!"

Just as Leo was about to speak, a scream of surprise came from behind him.

"Leo! Why are you here, loser?"

Leo looked back, only to see Caroline coming out of the underground parking lot holding Benedict’s arm.

Caroline looked at Leo with contempt. "Don’t tell me someone like you also wants to join Riverside Club! Stop dreaming! Do you know what kind of place this is?"

Benedict stared grimly at Leo beside Caroline. "It’s you again, huh?"
