Leo?
The name came to the minds of Rebecca, Caroline, and Patricia at the same time. Their expression was as horrified as if she had seen a ghost.
Caroline even mumbled vaguely, "Impossible, it is impossible... It can't be him!"
"Who?"
Lavid suddenly looked at Caroline and roared.
Caroline bit her lip and said with hatred, "His name is Leo, the adopted son of the Henderson family. It's because of him that our family was defeated by the Lawson family."
Because he was an adopted son, Rebecca and others had never taken him to the Ford family. However, Lavid still heard some rumors.
"Is this Leo the one who disappeared at the day when the daughter of the Lawson family got married five years ago?"
"Yes."
As a result, Lavid sank into deep thought. His face turned ashen and gloomy.
Caroline looked at Lavid in surprise and said, "Grandpa, are you suspecting that good-for-nothing?"
After a pause, Caroline continued, "It can't be him. He's been gone for five years and has only returned recently. He doesn't have any money or power. How could he know such powerful figures?"
"Then tell me, who could it be?"
Lavid's face was so gloomy.
"Well..."
Caroline couldn't answer and immediately shut her mouth.
Lavid glanced sharply at all the members of the Ford family in the ward and said in a low voice, "The most important thing now is to find out the big shot behind and ask him for forgiveness. Only in this way can the Ford family avoid a disaster!"
"Think about it carefully. Have you offended anyone recently?"
The ward was quiet. Everyone racked their brains to think about all the people that the Ford family had offended.
However, there was still no clue.
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the door.
Then, with a bang, the door of the ward was pushed open heavily. A group of men in uniforms came in.
Without saying a word, they were going to take away Rebecca, Caroline, and Patricia.
"Who are you? Why did you arrest us?"
"We didn't do anything wrong. Why arrest us?"
Rebecca and Caroline screamed and struggled with all their might, but they were stopped by several short-haired women in uniforms.
"You have the right to remain silent."
The man in the lead swept around all the Ford family members, took out a certificate from his pocket, and said coldly, "We suspect that they have something to do with a case. During the law enforcement period, we need your complete cooperation."
The others of the Ford family were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe but just nodded.
Only Lavid sighed deeply and understood that it had something to do with them.
Rebecca, Caroline, and Patricia were taken away.
There was a dead silence in the ward. Everyone was still immersed in the panic of Rebecca and others being taken away. They were out of their minds, afraid to suffer from a calamity without any reasons.
Lavid seemed to have understood something. He took a deep breath, pointed at Shard, and said, "Break one of his legs!"
"Grandpa!"
Shard trembled all over and fell to the ground. His face was ghastly pale. "What did I do wrong to break my leg?"
