Supreme Mars novel Chapter 44

Caroline hung up after saying this.

Leo held on to the phone and pondered for a long time. It seemed that the news of the O'Brien family had reached the ears of the Ford family and they had come to denounce him.

There wasn't a hint of panic on Leo's face. He returned to the car and said indifferently, "Take me the Ford house."

Nadine quickly stepped on the accelerator and the Rolls Royce sped toward their residence. In less than 15 minutes, they arrived at the gates.

Leo asked Nadine to wait outside and walked into the courtyard of the residence by himself.

However, as soon as he went through the front door, Leo felt the atmosphere in the room become charged; as if a storm was coming.

Everyone in the Ford family was seated in the living room. There was grim expression on all their faces.

Caroline and Rebecca sat at both sides of the center, looking at Leo with disgust in their eyes. William, who was seated in the middle, also looked helpless. "Leo, are you out of your mind?"

Leo immediately understood that the O'Brien incident had affected Caroline and Rebecca's discussion. They had been rejected by Atlas Beauty and were venting their anger on him.

"Tell me, what have you done?!"

Samuel took the lead in launching an attack. He banged on the table and shouted angrily.

"What have I done?" Leo asked calmly.

"Okay, you don't want to tell us, do you? If you don't, I'll tell them for you!"

Samuel was so enraged that he smashed the cup on the table and said in a loud voice, "It's not enough that you beat up the O’Brien’s and made them bleed, but then you broke into their company with your thugs! Not only did you smash things up, but you also injured them."

"Leo. I've lived for a long time now, but I've never seen anyone as heinous as you. It's alright that you did bad things alone, but you’ve also implicated us in this. What do you want? Do you want us all dead? Will you only be satisfied if that happens?"

"You can do whatever you want, as long as it just affects you. But this time, you ended up implicating us. You are truly an ingrate."

Samuel's wife, Marla, also rolled her eyes at Leo and said, "When William wanted to adopt you, I advised him not to do something like that. If he raised an ingrate, he would regret it. Looks like what I said really came true."

Marla had a glib tongue, and enjoyed pouring salt on other people's wounds.

Some words could be said, but others could not. After Marla finished speaking, Leo's eyes also became much frostier looking.

"Leo, I didn't think you were someone like that, but I am very disappointed in you now."

Caroline also looked at Leo and said coldly, "Mr. Dwayne has always been helping us with the cooperation with Atlas Beauty. Now, after what you did, the O'Brien family has turned against us, and Atlas Beauty is very likely to terminate their agreement with us as well."

"It's all because of you; you've ruined everything!"

The others also looked at the Leo coldly and wanted to drive him out.

However, Leo remained calm. "You don't know anything, and you still want to push the blame onto me?"

"A few days ago, when you all asked me to let you be the representative for this, I reminded you all that it could fail. Did you listen then? It's better to rely on yourself whenever you can. If you count on others, you will always be inferior to them!"

"You... you have the gall to make it seem like this is our fault?"

Caroline and Rebecca's faces alternated between red and white after hearing Leo's words. Rebecca even pointed at Leo with trembling fingers.

How could he say that they were inferior?

"Did I say anything wrong?"

Leo narrowed his eyes at Rebecca and said lightly.

"How dare you, how dare you!"

Rebecca screamed angrily and suddenly turned her head to look at William. "It's all your son's fault. He did something wrong and dragged us down. He can't be reasoned with. This can't go on..."

As she spoke, she covered her face and looked like she was about to cry.

William also looked very upset, and he remained silent.
