Hearing that, Leo seemed to have a slight fluctuation on his composed face.
Caroline stared at him expectantly, trying to capture something different from his expression.
Unfortunately, the fluctuation simply flashed away in an instant. Then his face regained composure. He then smiled while looking at her gently, “Happy wedding.”
Caroline stared at him blankly. Her eyes were soon filled with frustration. She forced out a bitter smile, unspoken.
They grew up together since childhood, during which they once promised to each other, though it sounded quite ridiculous at present—they would step into the wedding hall someday they grew up. However, everything changed ever since the alliance between the Fords and the Lawsons.
The stronger their love once was, the stronger the hatred grew. At that time, she deemed that it was Leo who caused the doom of her family. From then on, they were no more lovers, but enemies.
But now all the hatred had been dissipated as she was about to be part of another prestigious family by marriage.
Females were all born to be emotional, especially when they were facing the greatest event in their lives—marriage.
However, Leo showed no hint of struggle. Not even a sense of sadness.
Benedict had witnessed all these. His calm-looking face suddenly gave a twitch. His eyes were bearing hostility while he was staring at Leo.
But calmness soon replaced the sign of hostility.
He could tell that Caroline still had feelings for Leo though she still restrained herself from cheating.
“No!”
Rebecca was the first to shout out, “Everyone in the city could be on the guest list but not this wimp!”
Patricia, Samuel and everyone present simply watched but no one stood out to stop her.
William pulled Rebecca behind and huffed, “Why can’t Leo? I, as the one in charge, have never expelled him from the family. Don’t’ judge him with your own bias.”
“William Ford, listen, now your last name has been changed into Ford ever since you married me. As the one backed by the power of ours, you never have the right to refute!”
Perhaps it was because of the attendance of her family, Rebecca acted like a shrew. She then turned to shout at William, “Listen! Both you and that wimp are the same! Without out aids, you would have starved yourself on the street.”
“Mom, stop it!”
Embarrassed, Caroline hurried to grab her arm to stop her.
But Rebecca shook off her grip. She pointed at Leo while saying to Caroline, “That wimp only brings bad luck to all! I can’t believe you were even once in relationship. Listen! Your wedding with Benedict should be carried on smoothly. If he dares to mess it up, just get ready for my revenge.”
Hearing that, Leo just sneered, “Are you sure he does love Caroline?”
As he finished, Caroline was shocked with her eyes wide open. While Benedict was wearing a displeased face.
“How dare you question him! I gotta tear you apart!”
Rebecca rushed to his front with burning anger and was about to slap him.
However, her hand was grabbed in the air by Leo.
Leo stared at her coldly as if she were already dead.
“You…how dare you fight back! Let go of me!”
Rebecca was scared. She struggled to pull her hand off from his grip.
But no matter how she struggled, Leo still grabbed her wrist just like a strong clamp. Little could she draw her hand off.
