Supreme Mars novel Chapter 166

Leo slightly narrowed her eyes and instantly understood the conflict of interests.

The Ford family and the Nicholson family had been friends for generations. Both of them intended to match up with Raymond and Caroline. However, they hadn't been together for long before Leo killed Raymond with a silver needle.

The Nicholson family didn't know it yet. Tomorrow was Roman Nicholson's 70th birthday. At the birthday party, someone would definitely ask about it. Leo was thinking about how to answer the question.

Caroline said "let's discuss", but in fact, she only wanted to get rid of Leo and protect herself.

Cold light flickered in the eyes of Leo, and his aggressive vibe became stronger.

"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Leo suddenly looked at Caroline and asked.

Caroline's eyes dimmed for a moment, but her expression became determined in the end. "I'm sorry, Leo. Don't blame me for that, please."

"I'm going to get married soon. The Henderson family and the Ford family already have the support from the Hudson family now. We can't afford to lose anything because of this, so... we have to sacrifice you now."

Leo fell into silence when hearing that, but there was no sadness on his face.

Although they had turned against each other because of their stance, Leo still remembered the happy days when they were young.

Caroline hurriedly added out of guilt, "But don't worry. If the Nicholson family really wants to kill you, I will beg them for mercy on you."

"No need."

Leo interrupted Caroline calmly. "I don't need your rescue. You can give me to the Nicholson family, but I doubt if they have the guts touch me!"

He sounded so domineering and proud. Caroline was stunned; she opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

While they were talking, they had already arrived at the Henderson family.

The living room was packed with people. Rebecca, Patricia, Samuel, and other direct descendants of the Henderson family were sitting on both sides. William was sitting in the middle. He looked at Leo, eyes full of pity; there was nothing he could do.

"Rebecca, that good-for-nothing git is back. Let's begin."

Seeing Leo coming back, Patricia immediately looked at Rebecca and said.

She called him a good-for-nothing, but Leo was just staring at her with cold eyes, saying nothing.

Rebecca also glanced at Leo coldly and said, "Tomorrow is Roman Nicholson's 70th birthday. You should go with us."

"If Roman didn't ask anything, then everything would be fine. If he asked about Raymond, you would admit that you killed him, which has nothing to do with the Ford and Henderson families. Do you understand?"

Leo stood straight and looked cold.

Before coming here, he intended to take the responsibility alone, but now, he suddenly changed his mind.

"I can take the responsibility, but don't you regret it." He said as he looked at Rebecca with a sharp gaze.

Leo stared at Rebecca like a vicious beast, making her hair stand on end.

When she came to her senses, she became angry from embarrassment. "How dare you give me that look!"

Like a shrew, she rushed to the front of Leo. Hands on her hips, she kept cursing, "You'd better pray for yourself that Roman will not ask about Raymond's death tomorrow. Otherwise, given Roman's character, you'll wish you were dead! I will also let you suffer if you get us involved!"

"That's enough!"

William shouted. He glared at Rebecca and said, "Should anything happen to the birthday party tomorrow, I will negotiate with Roman about the compensation, but I won't allow you to lay one finger on Leo."

Hearing William's powerful words, Leo felt so touched.

Rebecca was stunned and then became angrier. She pointed at William and scolded, "I'll be there on behalf of the Ford family tomorrow. Are you sure you want to become the enemy of the Nicholson family for this loser?"

William was silent for a while and said, "Leo would only kill Raymond because Raymond was such an evil man and deserved to be deceased. I think Roman will be reasonable..."

"Then you don't know Roman very well."

Rebecca put her hands on her hips and said in a strange tone, "Everyone knows that Roman is very protective of his subordinates. If he knows that this good-for-nothing killed Raymond, he wouldn't care if he'll antagonize anyone and will kill all of us to revenge his grandson!"

A hint of light flashed across Leo's eyes. Roman seemed to be hard-core.

After pondering for a long time, William gritted his teeth and said, "Leo has done so much for the Henderson family. I can't just stand by and watch the Nicholson family hurt him!"

"What has he done for the Henderson family?"

Rebecca pointed to Leo and yelled angrily, "He brought disaster to this family! If it weren't for him, the Henderson family might have been promoted to a second-rate and wouldn't have to live under others' control ever since!"

"Mom, this is a life-and-death matter."

Caroline also pulled Rebecca back and persuaded, "If Roman really asks, we can just apologize and pay them a fortune. We don't have to ask that good-for-nothing to pay with his life."

Although she hated Leo for leaving without saying goodbye and dragging the family down, she didn't think he deserved death.

"Caroline, what's wrong with you?"

Rebecca looked at Caroline in disbelief and said, "If no one goes out to make amends, the Nicholson family will become enemies with us. This will be a big blow to us!"

Caroline was about to say something when someone grabbed her arm.

She looked back and saw Leo looking at her calmly. "Don't plead for me. I'm telling the Nicholson family that I killed Raymond, and we'll see if they dare to do anything to me."

Rebecca's eyes flickered with lights, and she said, "I heard what you just said... You said you killed Raymond and won't get our family in trouble!"

"I will go to the Nicholson family at noon tomorrow."

After saying that, Leo strode away from the Henderson family.

Caroline gritted her teeth and rushed out. She caught up with Leo and shouted angrily, "Are you crazy?"

Looking at Caroline's angry face, Leo was taken back at first and then smiled faintly. "Are you worried about me?"

"Who do you think you are?"

Death was upon Leo, and he was still joking around. Thinking of that, Caroline became angrier. "Do you know that you'll get yourself killed?"

"Roman is a very vindictive man. If my mother let you take all the responsibilities for Raymond's death, you will be flogged to death!"

"Is it that serious?"

Leo acted as if he was surprised.

"Of course."

Caroline took out a ticket from her bag and said, "This is a ticket I bought, and my mom doesn't know about it. Just leave, before she finds out."

Leo didn't take it. Instead, he stared at Caroline's face and suddenly smiled. "So you don't hate me anymore?"

"I hate you."

Caroline gritted her teeth and said, "Ever since you escaped from the Song family's wedding five years ago and got the Henderson family in trouble, I've been hating you."

"Perhaps you're no longer the loser living on others five years ago, but I'm about to get married soon."

Leo's face also changed slightly when hearing her saying that. "Have you ever thought that Benedict was just using you?"

"That's absurd. He likes me."

Caroline shook her head stubbornly and continued, "I'm going to get married soon. Everything is back on track. All hatred will be meaningless. It's best for all of us to be safe and sound."

Speaking of this, she took a deep breath and said to Leo, "Just leave, Leo!"

After hearing Caroline's words, Leo laughed silently and took the ticket.

However, he didn't put it into his pocket; instead, he folded it and tore it into pieces.

Countless scraps of paper drifting in the air, Leo smiled faintly at Caroline and said, "You underestimate me. I don't care about the Nicholson family."

"If they don't know what's good for them, I'll just put them down for good."

After saying that, Leo turned around and walked out of the gate of the Henderson family.
