Chapter 240 The Collapse of the Hudson Family
“Father!”
“Lord!”
Ewan sat on the grassland awkwardly with hands covering his chest. His breath was quick and uneven.
All people from the direct line of descent in the Hudson family suddenly changed their expressions and
went to support Ewan, who couldn’t bear such a great strike.
Summer was startled. The disaster happened too fast. She couldn’t react in the first time.
In the next moment, she suddenly turned around to look at Leo on the stage.
She had suggested to replace Caroline with a maid to get married. However, her suggestion was
denied by Leo. At that time, she wondered how could Leo rescue Caroline simply by himself.
Now it seemed there was no need for Leo to cheat because he owned the power to eliminate the whole
Hudson family.
“Why is his real identity?”
Not only did the Hudson family were shocked, but all powers present got amazed astonished and
showed terrifying look.
Was it a coincidence for the Hudson family to undergo sudden revenge?
Everybody present were elites in the business world. No one would naively think it was a simple
commercial dispute.
It was a revenge!
Leo’s expression was cold. His gaze towards the Hudson family was similar with the way he looked at
a pile of dead bodies.
They thought they were relying on Lydia, but they didn’t know they could only rely on themselves.
Chris found he was burning with righteous ardour. He thought it was a wise choice to show his
obedience to Leo before.
Five years ago, his cousin had remarked an extremely rampant sentence: Anyone who is for me will
live and anyone who dares go against me will die!
Now it seemed Leo was more suitable for this sentence. All of Leo’s relatives and subordinates were
having a good life, while his enemies would normally be killed in a miserable way!
“Don’t panic! All presidents from our cooperative companies were here. Let’s figure it out!”
Ewan didn’t lose his pace because of it. He soon returned calm and commanded in rationality.
It was Benedict’s wedding day. The Hudson family had invited many cooperative business partners
here. All presidents who reached commitment with them before were on the invitation list.
Ewan and Benedict brought the whole Hudson family to come towards those presidents in a
threatening manner.
“Everyone here had shared wine with me. I can even call you brothers. I just wonder what did the
Hudson family do that offended you?” Benedict questioned they in a cold expression.
“No, you didn’t.” All presidents shook their heads.
“Then why did you suddenly withdraw your money?”
Every president sneered and seemed to be not afraid at all, remarking, “Mr.
Hudson, you have to ask yourself this question. Have you offended any big figure you’re not supposed
to offend?”
“A big figure I shouldn’t offend?”
Benedict and Ewan looked at each other. In order to expand market in Emerdale, they had to be
humble to negotiate with others. How could they offend someone?
With further thinking, the only one they had offended was Leo, who was chased out by the Ford family
and had the intent to take the bride away.
However, even Leo married Lydia, he couldn’t do anything to them simply by relying on Atlas Beauty.
At this point, Alan and Justin went towards them with members from HY Business Association.
All people who owned strength in Emerdale all startled and showed serious look. Why would so many
members from HY Business Association gathered here?
“Benedict, today is your son’s big day. Do you mind me to ask for a glass of wedding wine?”
Alan poured himself a glass of wine and sneered.
“Alan, it’s you!”
Ewan suddenly reminded of something. His eyes became dark as he pointed at Alan when shouting. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Alan laughed out, “You think too much. I don’t have such a great power!”
Ewan frowned more tightly. Alan was right. Although he was the richest man in Emerdale, he was
simply a junior member in HY Business Association, while Ewan was going to get promoted to be the
intermediate member.
Alan couldn’t compete with him in terms of status.
“Then what that big figure will be?”
Ewan murmured. At first, he speculated that Alan was the mysterious big figure behind the Ford family.
Now it seemed Alan wasn’t.
“Mr. Cohen, Miss Henderson!”
At this point, Forrest came in front of Leo and Lydia to greet them respectfully.
Ewan immediately got startled when seeing this. What would bring the head of HY Business
Association here?
When Ewan was about to greet him, he found Leo was rubbing her daughter’s head and noted, “Emilia,
say hi to grandpa Forrest.”
“I just turn fifty this year…”
Forrest’s face was full of embarrassment. When he was about to explain, Emilia already called docilely,
“Hi, grandpa Forrest!”
“…Ah!”
Forrest could only respond. However, when seeing Emilia’s adorable face, he got delighted a lot.
Ewan completely went shock. Why would the head be in such a good relation with Leo? Although
Ewan was a member of HY Business Association, Forrest had never smiled at him before!
“This is must because of Lydia!”
Ewan guessed in his mind. He knew the inside story that Forrest admired Lydia’s talent and had invited
to join HY Business Association. However, he got rejected by Lydia in a polite way.
No matter how, only Forrest could save the Hudson family at this point.
“President Barker!”
Ewan hurriedly arrived in front of Forrest and greeted him respectively.
“What’s wrong?”
Forrest was unpleasant when being interrupted by Ewan because he loved Emilia a lot and was going
to play with her.
“President Barker, Alan didn’t follow the rules in the association and had blown hot and cold.”
Ewan pointed at Alan and remarked when gritting his teeth.
Alan didn’t defend himself but drank the wine calmly, showing an expression that he was going to
admire a good show.
“Well? Why didn’t he go against our rules? And how did he blow hot and cold?”
Forrest’s eyes were cold and asked in a slight voice.
“He not only gathered a party privately to prevent me from broadening the market in Emerdale, but also
fooled me. He had sighed the agreement with me and our project already started, however, he
suddenly decided to withdraw the money!”
“It is my command to let him withdraw the money. Do you have any questions?” Forrest remarked
coldly.
“What?”
Forrest’s words really astonished Ewan. Even Benedict and other members from the Hudson family got
startled. As if losing their voice in the same time, they couldn’t speak out anything.
“I am coming for this thing.”
A strong and powerful scent from the upper class was surrounding Forrest. He then waited for a while
and told Ewan coldly, “Now I formally inform you that I will deprive your membership in HY Business
Association. I will also confiscate all companies our group has supported!”
Boom…
The sudden changed finally arrived.
Ewan opened his eyes widely and looked at Forrest in stiff. Benedict’s whole body also trembled. His
face went pale, seeming to be desperate in the lowest point.
After a while, Ewan forced a smile and noted, “President Barker, don’t make jokes with me. Ninety
percent industries of the Hudson family were supported by the association. Who will handle them if you
decide to deprive them all?”
“Do I look like I am joking?”
Forrest sneered and remarked, “All industries the association have supported will be charged by Alan.
He will inherit your position to be the intermediate member.”
Forrest’s words completely took away Ewan’s last hope. Benedict already showed blink eyes and felt
his death was near.
“Congratulations to be the intermediate member, Mr. Russel.”
“Mr. Russel, I am Brooke from the Palmer family in City J.”
“I am Caleb Grant from the Grant family in City J.”
Every prestigious family in City J all came forward to congratulate Alan with smile in order to get closer
relation with him.
No one turned to look at people from the Hudson family anymore because they knew the Hudson
family already fell.
