Supreme Mars novel Chapter 42

"What?!"

Caroline's pupils narrowed when she heard Wayne's words. Rebecca was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she nearly dropped the teacup in her hand. She looked extremely uneasy.

Leo had damaged Dwayne's father's property with his men?

How was that possible? What gave him the courage to do so?

After the initial shock had passed, Rebecca realized that something was wrong. She said with a smile, "Dwayne, why don't you go and ask if there is any misunderstanding?"

"That's right, that good-for-nothing doesn't even have a job. How would he afford to barge into your business with his men and trash it?" Caroline said anxiously.

Caroline had the sudden urge to kill someone.

After this incident, their hopes of him getting them a celebrity endorsement were up in flames.

"A misunderstanding?"

Dwayne suddenly stood up and looked at Caroline and her daughter coldly. He sneered and said, "The gangster who broke into my father's company said that he was named Leo Cohen. Apart from that deadbeat in your family, who else goes by that name?"

"Not only did he destroy my father's company, but he also beat up a senior executive of the business and disfigured him."

"What? He injured someone?"

Rebecca's face suddenly turned pale and ashen.

"Dwayne, let me explain. He is not a member of our family..."

Caroline hurriedly stood up and explained to Neil humbly.

It had not been easy for her to build a good relationship with the heir apparent of the O'Brien family. How could she give up this opportunity to ingratiate herself with the rich and powerful family?

The only thing she could do now was to keep apologizing, hoping that Dwayne would forgive her.

However, just as Caroline stood up, she was pushed aside by Dwayne "Screw you, I know he’s one of yours!"

"To think that I actually helped you all. You really don't know what's good for you!"

Dwayne said coldly, "From now on, you can forget about us doing you any favors. Just wait for our lawyer's letter."

With that, he snorted, picked up the artist materials he brought with him, and left.

Caroline and Rebecca were left completely stunned, as they sat dumbly on their seats.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over..."

Caroline put her hands on her head and tugged on the hair she had meticulously combed in the morning. She said with a sorrowful expression. "We could have collaborated with Atlas Beauty and received financial support from the O'Brien’s. Now, it's all gone."

"It's all that asshole’s fault! Why doesn't he just disappear again and leave us alone?"

In the next instant, Caroline's eyes were filled with intense hatred.

"I told you five years ago that he was an ill omen who would only bring disaster to us, but you didn't believe me."

Rebecca was also very annoyed. She glanced at the equally angry Caroline and replied, "Look at him now. Five years ago, he caused us to suffer the Lawson family's wrath. Now we've finally gotten back on our feet, but that brat screwed things up again."

"How could I have known that he was such a heartless person at that time?"

Caroline was furious.

Rebecca thought for a moment and said, "The most important thing to do now is to show our loyalty to the O'Brien's. We have to tell them that our family has had nothing to do with the actions of that trash. We need to excommunicate him immediately, and cut off all relations with him!"

"And that should be the least of it!" Caroline said hatefully. "I want to make sure that he can't survive in Emerdale."

Just then, they heard a crisp sound of high heels striking the floor in the corridor. A short-haired woman wearing a professional suit stopped in front of Caroline and Rebecca.

She asked coldly, "Are you the representatives from the Ford’s?"

"We are."

Rebecca hurriedly stood up, sorted out her emotions, and squeezed out a smile. "When will the meeting begin?"

"I'm Miss Ward's assistant. I'm here to inform you of this matter."

The woman continued lightly, "We've just received a notification that Ms. Henderson has an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with. Miss Ward will represent her in the discussion. You two can go and speak with her instead."

"Why is Miss Ward dealing with this? Where is Miss Henderson?" Rebecca's expression changed when she heard that.

"There's no need for you to know that. Just do as I say." Instructed the woman.

The woman did not say another word.

Was this the way they were supposed to treat their partner? Even if they were superior and subordinate, they should not be as mean as they were now.

Caroline and Rebecca were angry but did not dare to say anything. The International Commerce Center was located in the top financial circle of Emerdale. Atlas Beauty was the leader of the pack. The core group of the Emerdale business circle was gathered here. They couldn’t afford to offend the CEO’s assistant.

Reigning in their indignation, they followed the woman into Rachel's office.

Rachel knew that someone had entered, but she didn't raise her head and continued to deal with her documents.

She didn't look up until she was done with them. She glanced at Caroline and Rebecca, "I remember that the representative of your corporation was Mr. Cohen. Why are the two of you here instead?"

Rebecca said with a flattering smile, "Leo has something to do at the moment, so we'll take care of it."
