Supreme Mars novel Chapter 98

Next morning.

In the Henderson family's courtyard, an old man and a young man were playing chess face to face.

"Check."

Leo moved one horse to capture a soldier of opponent, took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Looking at the chess game in which he had nothing else but the Queen, William sighed helplessly. He could only move it.

Leo was not in a hurry. He moved his Rook horizontally and said, "Check."

A Knight was in front of a Rook. The Queen would be definitely checkmated.

William admitted defeat, "I lost."

"One more round."

Leo was in high spirits, but William waved his hand repeatedly and said, "No, I will lose again."

Early in the morning, Leo came to play chess with William in the Henderson's villa.

William boasted that he was good at chess and agreed to it. As a result, he lost three rounds in succession.

He looked at Leo in confusion and asked, "Leo, I haven't seen you for a few years. How did you become so good at chess?"

Leo smiled and did not speak.

Leading the troops to fight for the country was depended on military force for 30% and strategy for 70%.

As the God of War in the army, he had never been defeated, let alone the chess game.

William stood up with a smile and thanked Leo, “Leo, thank you for chatting with me these days to relieve my boredom."

Leo waved his hand with a smile and said, "Dad, if you like it, I will come to chat and play chess with you every day. I have to thank them for returning to parents' home. Otherwise, they will definitely drive me out with a broom when they see me."

Upon hearing this, William helplessly sighed: "It's OK for me to live alone. But the company was smashed and the workers were driven away, I am afraid that the company will not able to re-open in a short period of time."

Leo remained calm and even smiled. "Dad, don't worry. I'll take care of it."

"You?"

William looked at Leo in surprise, then shook his head and said, "Little Leo, I know your friends are very powerful, but I can't rely on them every time. Besides, this time, the problem is not money, but manpower. How can I have time to recruit so many workers in a short time?"

Leo smiled and was about to speak. Suddenly, the phone rang.

William was surprised. Who would call so early?

But he still went to answer the phone. "Hello, who is it?"

"Are you William, Rebecca's husband, and Caroline's father?" A man's cold voice came from it.

William immediately realized that something had happened to Rebecca and Caroline. His tone immediately became anxious, "Who are you?"

"I'm from the police office. Your wife and daughter, and Patricia, Marla Ford, Samuel Ford... are all arrested." The man gave a series of names.

"What?! They were arrested?"

William asked loudly.

However, Leo smiled and was not surprised by the result at all.

"What crime did they commit?"

"We suspect that they have something to do with an organized and premeditated incident of deliberately destroying other people's company. You are also involved, don't you know?"

Upon hearing this, William's expression also changed drastically, "Officer, could it be that you suspect that they were behind this?!"

"Yes, they have all confessed after the interrogation last night. Come here quickly."

After hanging up the phone, William's face became extremely awkward. He looked back at Leo and said, "Something happened to Rebecca and Caroline."

Leo knew what was going on, but he still asked, "What happened?"

William sighed and said, "They were the ones who sent people to destroy the Virgil Corporation."

Leo looked at William indifferently and meaningfully. "Dad, what do you want to do?"

He respected William's decision.

After a long silence, William said, "I believe they must be too angry, so they lost their mind. After all, they are my wife and daughter and relatives..."

Leo nodded with a smile. "Since you have decided, I will go with you."

"Okay."

William looked at him gratefully. The two of them quickly rushed to the police office.

Half an hour later, they saw Rebecca, Caroline, and others who had been here for three days.

They sat behind the window with disheveled hair and pale faces, looked glassy-eyed. There were more or less scars and bruises on their faces which were caused by the interrogation.

Nadine had told her men to "order dishes" if it was necessary.

"Order dishes" was called by the insiders. That actually meant cruel torture.

"Rebecca, Caroline."

When William saw them, he couldn't help but cry out.

Rebecca and Caroline immediately raised their heads. When they saw that it was William, their expressions immediately turned angry.

"William, you are a heartless man. Hurry up and save Caroline and me. Do you know how much we suffered last night?"

Caroline also cried out loudly, "They hit me so hard. Dad, save me. I don't want to stay here..."

How could she, who had been spoiled since she was a child, suffer so much?

Patricia, Samuel and Marla also complained, but they still looked at William with anger and hatred.

It was as if William had been the cause of their imprisonment.

"Leo, it's you again!"

Suddenly, Caroline Ford saw Leo Cohen and her voice suddenly became sharp. "Why are you everywhere? Get out of here!"

When the others heard this, they also became embarrassed. They were in prison now. If Leo Cohen see them, they'll feel worse than being killed.

Leo Cohen looked at them coldly without any sympathy in his eyes.

William Ford looked at the staff inside and said, "How can I save them?"

Soon, a notebook was handed over. "Just sign here."

"Thank you. Thank you."

William Ford immediately thanked her. After signing the name, Rebecca Ford, Caroline Ford, and Patricia Ford were released.

However, they were not grateful at all. Instead, they continued to curse.

"Why did you come to save us so late at night? Won't you come earlier? You made us suffer so much."

"Don't think that we'll forgive you just because you're here to save us!"

It seems that William Ford should save them.

Leo Cohen watched from behind, and his eyes became colder and colder.

When it came to money, Rebecca Ford also seemed to think of something. She grabbed William Ford and said, "Give me 17 million of Atlas Beauty."

Upon hearing this, William Ford's expression slightly changed as he asked: "What are you going to do?"

"Pay the debt." Rebecca Ford said naturally.

"What debt?"

At this time, a guard next to him said, "The Ford family's money laundering has been confirmed. All The Ford family's members need to compensate the bank with one billion at least."

"What?! One billion?"

William Ford seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. When he came to his senses, he looked at Rebecca Ford with a livid face and refused, "No."

"You won't give it to me?"

Rebecca Ford's face suddenly became gloomy and she said angrily, "Do you still have any conscience? Something happened to my family, and you are not willing to pay for it. Let me tell you. You must have to pay."

"You are my husband, and a member of The Ford family. You have to pay for it!"

William Ford's entire body trembled. He was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Just then, a cold voice sounded out of thin air.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to end your relationship with Dad and go back to your parents' home? Why do you want to be a family now?"

Leo Cohen slowly walked forward, looked at Rebecca Ford coldly, and said, "Since we have returned to our parents' home, all the debts of The Ford family have nothing to do with Dad!"

"You can pay the one billion on your own. It has nothing to do with us!"

Rebecca Ford looked back and found that it was Leo Cohen. She was even angrier.

"It turns out that you are a good-for-nothing. You have been kicked out of the house. What right do you have to meddle in our family's affairs..."

As she spoke, Rebecca Ford slapped Leo Cohen.

Leo Cohen's eyes turned cold. He grabbed Rebecca Ford's wrist as fast as lightning and exerted force bit by bit. Rebecca Ford screamed in pain.

"Ah hurts. You are a good-for-nothing. I warn you, let go of me..."

"Stop!"

At this time, a loud voice was heard.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several taxis parked at the door.

When the door opened, Lavid Ford got out of the car with all the members of The Ford family.

Seeing this scene, Patricia Ford and Marla Ford seemed to be relieved and suddenly gloated.

Rebecca Ford was even more confident. She looked at Leo Cohen with a proud face and said, "Leo Cohen, I advise you to let go of me and slap yourself. Otherwise, my father comes and he will deal with you..."

"I'm talking about you!"

However, Lavid Ford roared with a livid face, walked to Rebecca Ford, and slapped her heavily.

"I don't have an unfilial daughter like you!"
