All people turned to look at Leo with different expressions.
Suddenly, Leo became the target of all people.
Caroline’s expression also changed slightly with a sense of worry passed over. She knew Ewan was referring to Marcel, who got seriously injured after Leo beat him to save her.
Actually, it wasn’t Leo who had beaten Marcel. Leo had called Millie at that time. Millie was the eldest girl in the Henderson family. Naturally, no one dared go against her and allowed her to beat Marcel into serious injury.
Rebecca suddenly stiffed and her eyes were full of anxiety, saying, “Don’t be mad. Is there any misunderstanding in this thing?”
“Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding?”
Ewan sneered and remarked, “It’s the Ford family’s rule to take revenge. We have to handle this thing properly.”
William took a step forward and looked at Ewan fearlessly, saying, “Leo won’t beat someone out of no reason. He took action because your younger son did something terrible.”
“His younger son added drugs in my wine to revenge!”
Caroline stood out bravely at this time and told the public the truth.
However, Benedict sneered and remarked, “Do you think people will believe you? Marcel is my brother. Why will he try to frame up his sister-in-law?”
“That’s real!” Caroline got so anxious that she couldn’t stop stamping.
When she was about to continue, a hand suddenly stopped her to reveal the truth.
Caroline turned around and found Leo was shaking head towards her with gentle look. Leo remarked, “There is no need for you to continue. We will find ways to teach them a lesson if they really have done something wrong.”
Caroline opened her eyes widely and looked at Benedict in astonishment.
Leo could sense that Benedict had a homicidal intent towards him. Benedict simply wanted to use what happened to Marcel to put them in dilemma.
Benedict must have known what happened that night. The reason why he didn’t show up was because he wanted to be the man behind the scene.
First, he wanted to teach his brother a lesson. Second, he wanted to take revenge on Leo via this thing. He tried to achieve two purposes.
Leo also turned around to look at Ewan and asked, “What will you do if I refuse to give you explanation?”
Ewan’s eyes were cold when he asked, “Do you think I can do nothing to you with a big figure in the Henderson family to protect you?”
Leo laughed out loudly. It seemed the Hudson family didn’t realize he was the big figure behind the scene.
“Dear relative, we have no relation with that loser.
You can do anything to deal with him, but don’t be mad at us.”
Rebecca got extremely anxious. She thought for a while, then she crossed the crowd and raised up her hand to slap Leo.
“You’re such a loser. All you know is to find trouble!”
Slap…
However, before she could hit Leo, Rebecca got slapped first. Half of her cheek slowly swelled up.
Suddenly, all people turned silence, looking at Caroline who took action in astonishment.
Even Leo slightly changed his expression.
Rebecca covered her face. She looked at Caroline, whose face was already covered with tears, the next moment, she burst out shouting.
“What’s wrong with you? How dare you beat me?”
“Yes, I dare. Have you ever thought that you’re the one who did wrong things?”
Caroline’s rims of eyes became wet as she looked at Rebecca in frustration, saying, “It was Marcel who added drug in my cup. If it were not Leo, I will be raped by him. Why are you going to hit him instead of expressing thanks?”
“Besides, you don’t even care about me after I get beaten so hard. How can you marry me to that vicious family just for our family’s good? Am I still you daughter?”
“I am so jealous that you’re my mother!”
Caroline got more and more excited as she remarked. She almost cried out to say the last sentence. Her eyelids already got swelled up as tears running down widely on her face.
Leo was also moved. That was why he decided to help Caroline to get out from the wedding with the Hudson family.
