Supreme Mars novel Chapter 181

Leo and Lydia were still hanging out in the mall.

Although Lydia tore the cheque with her own hands, she was the kind of person who obeyed the law of reciprocity. In response to her forcible “request”, Leo had to try another suit worth more than 50,000 dollars.

Tinkling, tinkling, tinkling----

At this moment, Marie called a video.

“Dad, what are you doing?”

As soon as the video was switched on, Leo saw Emilia with a face full of excitement.

Leo and Lydia smiled and waved to their daughter, “Dad is shopping with mom. What have you played?”

“Auntie rode the roller coaster, the jumping machine, the free fall, the big pendulum and many others with me. Auntie is so nice!”

Speaking of this, Emilia talked like a lark with rapture.

Marie sat on the side with a pale face, looked obviously depressed and frightened.

Comparing them, Leo couldn’t help laughing, “You really suffered a lot.”

“Yep, for the sake of you, right?”

Marie suddenly sat up like a female cat whose tail had been stepped on, but she stopped halfway through.

Glancing at Leo, he whispered, “How is going now? How is the shopping with Lydia?”

Leo raised the bag in his hand, “I bought a skirt for Lydia, and Lydia bought me a suit.”

“Good.”

Marie said in surprise, “Then I won’t disturb you, bye.”

The moment Marie posted the video, Leo narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn’t know whether it was his illusion. He saw a blurry figure in Marie’s video, watching them vaguely.

“What’s wrong?” Lydia said softly.

“It’s nothing.”

Leo’s expression immediately changed to be normal. He continued shopping with Lydia.

However, his look was not as relaxed as before.

“I hope it’s only an illusion...”

After walking around for a day, the night was getting dark, and before they knew it, the two walked to the bottom of the Emerdale Tower.

Lydia suddenly said, “Let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

The Emerdale Tower was the representative building of Emerdale. The expenses for the hotels in it were of astronomical prices.

Leo nodded and did not refuse.

They should find a romantic place for their first date, shouldn’t they?

Guided by the receptionist, Leo and Lydia went to the pre-booked box.

The box was at the top of the Emerdale Tower. From there, they can stand on the top of the third tallest building in the world and overlook the entire night view of Emerdale.

When night falls, the night of Emerdale was a little less noisy and a little more charming than the daytime.

“This is the first time we have eaten together face to face.” Lydia said softly, looking at the man sitting in front of her.

Leo nodded, “Yes.”

The last time when they had Western food together was a family of three, not just the two of them.

“I’ve always felt that I am a shrewd judge of character.”

Lydia held her chin with both hands, looked at Leo and said, “Until I met you.”

Leo smiled, “Why do you say that?”

“You’ve given me so many surprises, and every time I think I’ve seen through you, you’re giving me a head bang.”

Lydia said softly, “In the beginning, I thought you were a timid and irresponsible scumbag. Later, I thought you should find out with your conscience, but you still have no money, no power, and no job.”

Leo stared at Lydia, waiting for her to continue. However, after waiting for a long time, she did not continue to talk.

Therefore, Leo could only take the initiative, “What happened later? You don’t think I’m a jerk now, do you?”

Lydia shook her head slightly, “Is it necessary to continue? As I said earlier, I have always misunderstood you. You are stronger than me, aren’t you?”

Leo was silent and did not respond. He just asked softly, “Why do you have to see everyone so thoroughly?”

“To put my mind at rest.”

Lydia answered without hesitation, “There are good and bad people. In my previous life with Emilia, we were like a widow and an orphan. At that time, we see everyone like a bad person. The color of this world is neither black nor white, but a mixed delicate gray.”

Leo opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word. His eyes became firmer while he was full of guilt.

When he didn’t come back, his wife and daughter were scorned and bullied.

Now that he was back and everything was getting well. There was no injustice in the world.

“It’s going to rain.”

Lydia raised her head, looked at the sky with dark clouds and said.

“I’ve brought an umbrella.”

Leo said with a smile, “No matter how heavy the rain, I won’t let you get wet.”

Boom----

The deafening thunder sounded, and the dazzling lightning ripped apart the sky, illuminating Leo and Lydia’s pale cheeks.

After that, bean-sized raindrops fell and slapped on the transparent window, making the sound of fried beans.

This was a rainstorm that hardly seen after Leo returned to Emerdale.

Knock, knock, knock----

At this moment, the door of the box was knocked hard.

Before Leo and Lydia could respond, the door was pushed open without permission.

A group of people with wine glasses walked in calmly, and the handsome man at the head gave Lydia an elegant smile, “Good evening, Ms. Henderson.”

Looking at the row of people who walked in without permission, Leo’s eyes gradually became sharp. Lydia also had anger on her face that was rarely seen, “Who are you, why are you trespassing in other people’s boxes?”

When she finished speaking, Lydia pressed the service button.

But after waiting for a long time, no waiter came in.

The handsome man at the head smiled lightly, “No need to try, no one will come in. In Emerdale, no one dares to block our way.”

Next to him was another tall man with two plump young women in his arms, smiling and jokingly said, “Mr. Stewart, you made too much noise that scared Ms. Henderson.”

The people behind him immediately burst into laughter. Lydia put on a long face but she said nothing. Leo’s eyes narrowed dangerously, but he didn’t move.

They could see that these people were all powerful in Emerdale, and most of them were half a step behind the two men, proving that these two men were their heads.

The handsome man on the left smiled lightly, followed standard gentleman etiquette, and said, “Ms. Henderson, don’t be afraid, this is our first meeting, so I want to introduce myself first.”

“My name is Bertie Stewart, from the Stewart family.”

Bertie looked at the tall man next to the plump young women and said, “His name is Marcus, and he comes from the Wilson family.”

Lydia’s face was expressionless and she didn’t react at all. From the disgust in her eyes, it could be seen that she was very disgusted with these young masters.

However, no matter how disgusted she was, she couldn’t do anything out of the ordinary. Bertie, Marcus, and the four giants of the Emerdale came all at once. Even for a person as calm as she was, could feel a little pressure.

“What do you want to do?” Lydia looked at Bertie and asked coldly.

Bertie shook his head with a playful expression, “Ms. Henderson, you think too badly about everyone. I came here just to discuss a business that is a safe bet with you. As for the people behind me and Marcus, you don’t need to care about them, just treat them as transparent.”

Although Bertie said that, the young masters behind him didn’t show any signs of sincerity. They smiled maliciously.

Lydia was silent for a while, and then she said, “What kind of business?”

Bertie came to Lydia and said slowly, “I heard that the reconstruction plan for the downstream of the Emerdale River was obtained by your L Group, right?”

“So what?”

Lydia said coldly, unmoved.

Bertie’s smile deepened, “I will not treat you badly by handing over the urban construction project to my Stewart family.”
