Supreme Mars novel Chapter 22

In their white uniforms, the security officers of Oceania stood in stark contrast to the black-clothed men standing behind Peter.

"Mr. Sharp, are you planning to stop me?"

Peter strode forward and looked at Victor Sharp with a grim expression. "Do you still want Oceania to continue operating in Emerdale?"

Victor was also under great pressure at the moment but he still forced a smile on his face. "Mr. Lawson, it doesn't seem right to break up a wedding like this. Don't you think you're being a bit rude?"

"Rude?"

Peter's sneer intensified. "Go ask Lydia Henderson about that. She's the one being rude by lying to me and faking this entire wedding. You've been fooled by her appearance. Did you really think she's a good woman?"

"Mr. Lawson, don't talk nonsense or you'll have to pay the price..."

Victor's face darkened after hearing Peter slander Lydia in such a manner.

He had met Leo Cohen in person. He was a young man that he could not get a firm read on at all. How could this wedding be fake?

"Either way, I'm the only one who can be Lydia's husband. No one else is worthy."

Peter glared at Victor and added, "Step aside if you know what's good for you. Don't think you're a hotshot just because you're the manager of Oceania. I can shut this place down tomorrow if I feel like it."

"Mr. Lawson, is that really necessary?"

Victor looked upset. Knowing how influential the Lawsons were, he knew it would be easy for Peter to shut down Oceania's business.

"Yeah, that's how I like doing things. What can you do about it?"

Peter looked at the guests around him. "Ladies and gentleman, you all agree that I'm the only one worthy of Lydia, don't you?"

Following a brief moment of silence, the representatives of the other families began to take Peter's side.

"Mr. Lawson, you're a perfect match for Miss Henderson."

"It'd be devastating if they don't end up together."

Caroline and her mother were about to pay lip service as well, but William stopped them with a glare.

Noticing this, Peter narrowed his eyes at him. "It's you Fords again. Don't you think your situation is already bad enough?"

"If you can't have something, you'd rather destroy it. Someone like you doesn't deserve Miss Henderson," William retorted.

Caroline and Rebecca became anxious after hearing his words, while the other guests looked at him like he was a fool.

They felt that William, along with everyone else, would be better off stroking Peter's ego right now, rather than go against him.

It seemed that the Fords would meet their demise soon.

"Mr. Sharp, have a drink with me."

Suddenly, an indifferent voice came from behind the crowd.

Everyone turned around and saw a young man in a black suit walking toward them with a faint smile.

"Leo!"

Caroline and Rebecca looked as if they had seen a ghost. "How did you get in?"

No matter how they racked their brains, they could not figure out how Leo was allowed entry.

Leo ignored them. He went straight to the chair beside William and sat down.

"Mr. Cohen."

To everyone's surprise, the manager of Oceania made a beeline for Leo.

Leo handed him a glass of wine. He pointed to his adoptive father and made the introduction. "Let me introduce you to someone. This is my dad."

Victor immediately offered a toast to William. "Mr. Ford, I apologize if our hospitality today didn't meet your standards."

"It was perfect. Don't worry about it."

William raised his glass in return, feeling flattered.

Peter's expression grew darker. Not only did Victor refuse to give way to him and his men, but he even ran off to entertain other guests.

"Mr. Sharp, who is he?"

Leo took a sip of the red wine in his glass. "This is pretty nice."

"Mr. Cohen, that's from my private collection. This bottle is from the year 1988."
