Supreme Mars novel Chapter 196

Leo got nervous. Since Sharon was hurt so badly, he wanted to tell this to Lydia after bandaging her up.

However, hardly had he said to Lydia when she came down.

They looked at each other. There was a puzzled look on Lydia’s peaceful face, ‘Why does such a beautiful woman come to our home at midnight?

Lydia was high-headed. There were only a few women she deemed beautiful, and Sharon was one of them.

But soon, she noticed a pool of blood, becoming serious about this, “Who is she…”

Leo stood up at once and introduced, “She is my sister-in-law.”

“Sister-in-law?” Lydia frowned and weirdly glanced at Leo, then saying with a smile, “Hello, I’m Leo’s wife, Lydia.”

“Sharon Bell,” said Sharon briefly.

As she looked in indifference, Lydia came to the point and said coolly, “Are you injured?”

“I’m okay. It’s just a small injury,” said Sharon in a low voice. Then she got up from the sofa, “Sorry to trouble you. I’ll go right now.”

After saying that, she stood up with a sharp pain, walking towards the door.

Leo worried about her. When he was about to speak, Lydia said peacefully, “Hold on.”

Sharon looked back at Lydia in astonishment.

Lydia got a bit angry, blaming Sharon, “You are hurt so badly. You can’t go.”

“Why not?” asked Sharon, raising her eyebrow.

“Come in with me.” Lydia glanced at her. Then she turned and walked towards a guest room.

However, Sharon still stood at there, “I’m here just to tell something to Leo. Now I’ve told him so I have to go.”

Lydia’s eyes got cold and she said seriously, “I think you’ve misunderstood. I let you stay here just out of my kindness.”

What Lydia had said was like a command, which made Sharon get nervous and then fall silent.

At this time, Leo added, “Just stay here. Even if Lydia didn’t say this, I would let you stay here, too.”

Slightly biting her lip, Sharon responded, “All right. Thanks.”

Lydia didn’t say anything, taking Sharon to a guest room.

It was late at night when Leo and Lydia went back to their room.

“Lydia, I…” Leo still felt sorry for Lydia and wanted to explain.

Lydia gave him a glance, peacefully saying, “She is your sister-in-law, isn’t she?”

“Yes.” Leo confusedly looked at Lydia. He had no idea why she asked this question.

Lydia said with an inexplicable smile, “She is beautiful.”

Finishing her words, Lydia turned over and cuddled Emilia, going to sleep.

Leo got more confused and perturbed. He softly climbed into bed and slept.

He knew that Lydia must had perceived something.

----

After embarrassingly leaving Emerdale Tower, Bertie Stewart didn’t go back home, but stayed in a pub owned by himself, drinking alone till midnight.

Bertie felt dizzy and his face became distorted under the influence of alcohol.

He hadn’t been threatened in his life and even been thrown from the Emerdale Tower. He was still frightened as long as he thought of what had happened.

After drinking a cup of hard liquor, he smashed the glass on the table into pieces.

“Leo and Lydia, I will kill you!” Bertie looked black in his face. His vicious curse echoed in the empty pub.

He found it was late so he hurriedly stood up, intending to go back home.

At this moment, however, a huge Range Rover was parked in front of the pub.

Marcus anxiously got out of the car and came to Bertie, “Bertie, there’s something wrong.”

“What’s the matter now?” said Bertie with a scowl.

Today was really a terrible day to him. He not only had failed to win over the city construction project, but also had nearly been thrown from the tower by Leo.

Marcus said seriously, “Leo and Lydia’s car was found in the suburbs. It was crashed severely.”

“What? They had a car accident!” Marcus’s words made Bertie become sober with his eyes widened.

“Yes.” Marcus nodded.

“Hahaha. That’s great!” Bertie suddenly laughed evilly, “Then they can’t carry out the project. No one will dare to throw me from the tower any more.”

However, Marcus didn’t laugh. He said with no expression, “The police will investigate the case thoroughly. They have already assured that this accident was intentionally caused someone.”

“So what?” Bertie indulged in the joy of the car accident, keeping laughing.

Soon he stopped laughing. Instead, he was overwhelmed by fear, “You guys suspect me?”

“Not just us. Every normal people will suspect you.”

Marcus said seriously, “You just had an irreconcilable feud with Leo and Lydia. You used the video from five years ago to force Lydia to kneel down, and scrambled for L Group’s city construction project. Then Leo and Lydia had a car accident on the way home. Do you think it was just an coincidence?”

Marcus paused and added, “In addition, I’ve let someone to ask about the details. Leo and Lydia got a designated driver. The driver was speeding. And finally, they were hit several times by a large truck of reverse driving.”

“But, how to prove I did that?”

Bertie looked very gloomy. He couldn’t believe that he unconsciously became a scapegoat.

“Not just you, I became a suspect, too.”

Marcus said in a low voice, “This time, we are all used by someone.”

“By who?” Bertie suddenly asked.

Marcus signed quietly, “Emerdale is not a big city, but not small either. We are the only people who always show up. Of Emerdale’s four prestigious families, who was absent today?”

Bertie’s face also became gloomy, saying a name, “Jaxon of the Hamilton family?!”

“And one more,” said Marcus, “Kate Lawson of the Lawson family.”

“…”

***

Meanwhile, in the Lawson Building, Kate steadily stared at the handsome man siting in front of her. The man squinted at her, too.

Dozens of guns pointed at Kate and Chris’s heads

Chris’s legs were shaking with fear. If Kate were not with him, he would pass out.

Kate was calm. Looking at the man, she coldly questioned, “Terry Henderson, What do you want to do?”

“I just want to give you a heads-up.”

Terry’s eyes looked terrifying, “I want you to deal with Lydia rather than threaten her life.”
