Supreme Mars novel Chapter 197

Chris was confused about what Terry had said.

But he knew this man, which had come to see Kate that night and said he would marry her. Since he was Kate’s admirer, why he pointed the gun at her.

Kate understood and laughed at once.

Her laughter became louder and louder. She finally guffawed, leaning her head back, as if she had heard the most funny joke in the world.

Chris was worried about Kate as now they were pointed by guns. But Kate was not afraid at all, and even mockingly laughed. What if those people fired accidentally when they got annoyed.

Of course, what puzzled Chris most was why he was involved in this issue since he was totally an outsider and he even didn’t understand what they were talking about.

Terry scowled at Kate, saying, “What’s funny?”

“I’m laughing at your ignorance, Terry. You don’t understand me at all and you can never marry me.”

Kate suddenly stopped laughing. Even though she was pointed by guns, she was still brave. She looked at Terry scornfully, saying, “In your eyes, Leo and Lydia’s accident was caused by me?”

Terry looked a bit awkward, but he still said coldly, “I’ve never said you did this. I just want to warn you.”

“I, Kate Lawson, will undertake responsibilities of what I did. But you can never frame me of what I didn’t do.”

Ignoring the guns pointing at her head, Kate slowly stood up from the chair and looked down on Terry.

“I got a hundred ideas of destroying a person in my mind, but the only means I won’t choose is murder. Because it is the stupidest one. But now you suspect me?” She said in a menacing voice.

“No, Kate, listen to me…”

Terry no more looked ruthless. Instead, he smiled embarrassingly, “I feel anxious that Lydia nearly died in the car accident. If Chris nearly died, you would also feel like me.”

Chris was stunned, looking at this guilty man who had been scary just now, ‘Why did you mention me?’

Anyway, since Terry had said that, Chris thus looked at Kate eagerly, wondering whether she would save him if he had an accident.

To his surprise, Kate only gave him an indifferent glance, saying, “I’m not like you, and Chris is not like Lydia. It’s time for Chris to learn how to protect himself as he has grown up.”

“…”

Chris suddenly felt as if he heard a sound of something broken.

It was his heart.

Terry paused and then immediately asked his people to put the guns away, reluctantly apologizing, “Kate, I’m sorry that I was impulsive. Could you please forget about it?”

Kate kept silent, looking at Terry as if he was an idiot.

Terry had pursued her for about seven or eight years. He treated others normally, but only continued pestering Kate by all means.

Today he managed to act violently, but he showed his true colors quickly.

Chris respected Kate from the bottom of his heart given that she just got slightly mad but greatly frightened others. He wanted to learn from her.

“Kate, who do you think is the murder?” Terry quinted his eyes again and significantly asked.

“I don’t know.” Kate shook her head and said, “But, if I were you, I would think about it outside the box. Emerdale is too small to find out other clues.”

“What do you mean?” asked Terry confusedly.

Kate didn’t go on saying. She was clear that if she continued, Terry would insist on getting to the bottom of the matter.

“Figure it out yourself. But I will do what I promised you.”

Kate said with cold eyes, “I will defeat Lydia, not by this stupid means. You just wait and you’ll see.”

“Chris, let’s go.” Kate stood up. She took Chris, striding towards the door of the office.

Terry stared after Kate for a while. Then he shook his head disappointingly but also delightedly, “It was not her…”

He was disappointed that he didn’t find out the people who had managed to murder Lydia while he was delighted that Kate was not the murder.

After leaving Marcus, Bertie went back home.

When he opened the door, he saw Kairo Stewart sitting still on the sofa.

Eyes closed, Kairo seemed to be napping.

He opened his eyes as he heard the sound of the door. He steadily stared at Bertie, “Bertie, You come back?”

Bertie bowed to Kairo right away, “Yes, grandpa.”

He glanced at Kairo in astonishment as he spoke, ‘Grandpa usually sleeps early. Why does he stay up so late tonight?’

Kairo smiled as if he had known what Bertie was thinking about, saying, “My grandson hasn’t come back in this stormy night. How could I fall asleep?”

“I see.” Bertie smiled and concernedly said, “It’s late, grandpa. It’s time go to sleep.”

“Take it easy.” Kairo waved his hand and said to Bertie, “Have you got the project?”

Bertie felt a tug in his chest, sighing. He knew Kairo would ask this.

But he told the truth, “There’s a little accident. But trust me, I will definitely take over this project, which belongs to our Stewart family.”

“A little accident?” Kairo’s opaque eyes suddenly became sharp, saying, “If it were just a little accident, you wouldn’t nearly die and become a scapegoat.”

Holding his breath, Bertie said gingerly, “Grandpa, have you knew that?”

Kairo neither nodded nor shook his head. He said coolly, “You are too impetuous. Lydia and Leo are not common people. You underestimated them.”

Bertie promptly responded, “Then, what should I do?”

Kairo sighed and said, “You know why our family is one of the four prestigious families, don’t you?”

“Yes.” Bertie added, “Because of that sir.”

“All right.” Kairo said with a vicious look, “Since the video has been exposed, Leo and Lydia will try to destroy the original file you have. At that time, we will request the sir to kill them!”

“Good idea!”

Bertie was delighted but soon got worried, “However, will that sir accept our request? Because he is always elusive.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve contacted his people. If Leo dares come, he won’t go back any more.”
