Chapter 233 Leo’s Promise
Chapter 233 Leo’s Promise
“Are you the one who was behind Leo the last time?”
Benedict looked at Forrest and showed an astonished expression.
He had met Forrest before when he was in the International Commerce Centre. Forrest used to follow
Leo respectively, like his secretary. Benedict naturally regarded Forrest as a small figure and didn’t take
him seriously.
Now it seemed things didn’t go as he expected.
“How dare you!”
“How dare the Hudson family being rude to head Barker? Are you tired of living?”
Alan and Justin, who were following behind Forrest, immediately showed cold gaze and scolded him.
Although those well-known presidents behind didn’t say a word, they had expressed their supportive
standings by showing sharp eyes.
Seeing Forrest’s face, Ewan suddenly changed another expression and immediately slapped Benedict,
saying, “Unfilial thing, shut up!”
Benedict was slapped in stiff by his father and looked at Forrest in astonishment.
Why would his own father show respect to head Barker? What was his real identity?
Ewan hurriedly came in front of Forrest. He bowed politely and remarked, “Greetings, head Barker, I
am the intermediate member.”
Forrest slightly nodded and didn’t respond him.
Benedict suddenly got frightened. He looked at Forrest in astonishment. Did he belong to HY Business
Association?
People from the Ford family also got so startled that they didn’t even forget to greet Forrest.
What would the charger in the HY Business Association do by coming to the Ford family?
Alan walked in front of Caroline. A smile suddenly crossed his serious face when he remarked, “Miss
Caroline, I have heard you are going to get married. I haven’t given you gift to congratulate. Here is my
blessing. Wish you have a happy marriage.”
Alan took out a sparkling necklace which worth more than ten million and handed it to Caroline.
Rebecca liked his present so much that she couldn’t even move her eyes. When she was about to
reach out to grab it, Caroline suddenly pushed her away. She hurriedly waved her hands and noted,
“President Russel, this gift is too precious. I can’t accept it.”
“Just take it.”
Alan gave her the necklace with a smile and replied, “To be honest, I felt warm the first time I saw you. I
am already fifty years old and still don’t have any child. Are you willing to be my god-granddaughter?”
Wow…
All people here got startled when hearing his words.
Caroline also couldn’t find out what was going on.
She had only met Alan for one time. Why he would feel familiar with her?
Leo stood beside her and suddenly remarked, “Just agree.
”
Caroline got startled for a while. Seeing Leo’s smile, she suddenly understood something. She
hurriedly nodded and noted, “Yes, president Russel, I am willing to!”
Alan laughed out asked, “Are you still calling me president Russel?”
Caroline understood his meaning. She hurriedly changed his title and called again, “Grandpa Russel!”
“Ah.”
Alan showed a bright smile when Leo also slightly nodded towards him.
Alan was the richest man in Emerdale. If he was willing to look after Caroline, villains didn’t dare find
her trouble.
William felt delighted from the bottom of his heart. However, he also felt a sense of worry.
He was supposed to have two daughters, one was his child with his ex-wife, and the other was
Caroline.
However, now Caroline successfully recognized Alan as her god-grandfather, while the other still got
nowhere to be found.
Both Benedict and Ewan showed extremely terrible expression. Seeing Alan being so close to
Caroline, a bold conjecture appeared in their mind.
Was Alan the mysterious big figure behind the Henderson family?
As for Forrest, Ewan directly excluded him from his guess.
Why identity head Barker was? How would the second-rate Ford family know him?
Alan was different because he was the richest man in Emerdale. As long as he was within this city, he
was able to handle all difficulties for the Ford family.
Now Alan decided to recognize Caroline as his god-granddaughter. Which young lady could get this
change in Emerdale the same as Caroline owned?
Forrest showed cold eyes towards Benedict and asked, “Why was disrespectful to you as you just
said?”
Being asked by the person from upper class, Benedict got so scared that it was hard for him to respond
anything. Ewan hurriedly explained, “Head Barker, my son is still in his young age. He had said words
he was not supposed to. I hope you won’t take it seriously.”
“Should he have nothing to blame simply because he is in the young age?”
Forrest looked at Ewan in sharp gaze and remarked in a cold voice, “Although the Hudson family has
made a progress in the past few years, you have to remember that there are lots of power to eliminate
you.”
“Yes, yes, yes…You’re right.”
Ewan hurriedly echoed in a humble voice, completely different from his tranquil behaviour just now.
“Besides, did you cause injury to that child?”
Forrest rested his eyes on Caroline. He suddenly changed the focus of his speech and asked coldly.
Slash…
Both Benedict and Ewan immediately changed another face when hearing his words. They lowered
their head and cold sweat appeared on their forehead as they remarked, “There is some conflict
between Caroline and Benedict…”
“Remember this thing can’t be solved easily. I like that child very much. If the same thing happens
another time, it’s time for the Hudson to be eliminated!”
Forrest’s words were bossy.
Not to mention Benedict and Ewan, even Caroline and the others got startled when hearing this.
Only Leo was the one who watched all these with a smile.
Ewan immediately made a promise, “Don’t worry, head Barker. We will treat Caroline as our own child.”
Forrest didn’t say anything but showed a sneer. Afterwards, he brought people away from the Ford
family.
The Hudson family didn’t know that their good life was in its end.
The pressure on Benedict and Ewan finally went away after Forrest left. However, their gaze towards
Caroline was not disdainful as it used to.
“Caroline, let’s go.”
Benedict was about to put arm around Caroline’s shoulder while Caroline dodged it.
“I will not go back with you!” She glared at Benedict.
“…”
A flicker of homicidal intent passed over Benedict’s eyes. Afterwards, he returned calm and remarked
towards Rebecca and William, “Uncle, aunt, she will stay with you if she is not willing to leave. Please
take good care of her.”
After saying this, he left the Ford family together with Ewan.
Leo observed clearly that both of them suddenly showed a dark expression right after they turned
around to leave.
There was only Leo, Caroline and her parents left in the house. Rebecca immediately ran towards her
daughter and asked in excitement, “Caroline, when did you get acquaintance with Mr. Russel? He is
the richest man in Emerdale!”
Caroline couldn’t help looking towards Leo and remained silence.
Rebecca didn’t take it serious but remarked in a delightful way, “It’s really a good thing to get
acquainted with the richest man in Emerdale. I have to tell father this good news…”
Afterwards, she hurriedly left to make a call.
Caroline immediately looked at Leo and asked, “Did you tell Alan to do so?”
Leo didn’t say anything but nodded.
“Then why didn’t help me to cancel the engagement? I don’t want to be in the Ford family!” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“The Ford family doesn’t deserve to simply cancel the engagement.”
Leo then shook his head and continued, “I will let them pay a great price to compensate your injury.”
The rims of Caroline’s eyes suddenly turned red. She asked with a slight smile, “Does this count as
your promise to me?”
Leo thought for a long time and finally nodded seriously, “Yes!”
“Thank you.”
Caroline was crying and smiling at the same time. She watched Leo to leave, and still remained stand
still until his figure disappeared from her sight.
