Supreme Mars

Chapter 267 Give You Happiness

Lydia's words were shocking, but Leo found it reasonable.

Given how beautiful Lydia was, her mother must be as beautiful to pass the genes.

What Leo hadn't expected was her mother used to be the most beautiful woman in Valenham, too. He

couldn't imagine how beautiful she was.

"She has not only a rarely beautiful face but also an excellent sharp mind. Soon she became famous

all over the world."

Lydia recalled and continued, "Back at that time, her pursuers could be found everywhere in this city,

but she fell in love with my father who was as poor as a church mouse at that time."

Leo didn't interrupt her and listened carefully.

"With my mother's help, the Henderson family rose from a no-name to one of the wealthiest families,

and eventually become the loyal family in Valenham. Everyone knew that the Hendersons wouldn't

have achieved this without my mother's help. She enjoyed all the compliments and praises, and my

father ended up being a stay-at-home dad."

Leo sighed and had mixed feelings. He never thought that Lydia's parents would have such a story.

"But he didn't complain; he worked hard and never complained until something happened that caused

a rift between them."

"What happened?" Leo asked.

Lydia's beautiful peace was as calm as a lake. She touched her smooth belly and continued, "My

mother's infertility."

Leo's face froze.

He could imagine how much this defect would affect a family. No matter how beautiful Lydia's mother

was, or how capable she was, people would still speak ill of her for her infertility. They would even look

down upon him.

Because in their eyes, marriage was not just for love; it was for reproduction and making the family

prosperous.

"The first time they had the rift, they had a big fight. I was five years old at that time."

Lydia sounded calm, her gentle eyes looking at Emilia who was sleeping soundly.

"My father was angry at her infertility, but my mother was a firm familist, thinking that children weren't

the most important thing."

Leo nodded. He could see the conflict between the two person's personalities.

Suddenly, he froze and then looked at Lydia in surprise. "Wait... your mother's infertile, then how did

she have you?"

"My father told me that Mom was fertile before. She lost her fertility after my birth."

Leo frowned. That answer seemed right, but he could vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Lydia added, "There's one more thing... I heard that on the day I was born, a servant couple in my

family was expelled."

Leo didn't seem to care about that; his eyes became stern. "What about Marie?"

According to Lydia, her mother lost fertility after giving birth to her; so where did Marie come from?

"My father had her with another woman, and Marie doesn't know that."

Lydia said, "After my father found my mother's infertility, he treated her coldly, and during that period,

he met another woman."

"My mother couldn't live with his betrayal.

She was irritated and chose to divorce, while before that, she decided to give my father a chance. She

said she would stay if my father persuaded her to stay."

"Sure enough, he disappointed her again. This time, she chose not to stay and left the family without

taking anything with her. Later she left Valenham. Since then, she was no longer the influential Miss

Valenham, but a woman who failed marriage."

"After the mother left, Karl inherited the Henderson family, which my mother built from sketch. He

brought the Henderson family to a whole new level and then married the woman he cheated on my

mother with. Marie was their daughter."

Leo was astonished by what Lydia had just said. The complication of her family relationship was

beyond his imagination.

"That's the story of my family. As for Terry and others, they were just my cousins."

Lydia continued imperturbably, "When my family broke, they all wanted my mother to be kicked out.

They are all demons."

That was how the story ended. Leo looked at Lydia with a complex face, with a deep pitiful look in his

eyes.

That was what her family was like. She was born into a rich family, but she wasn't happy at all.

Her father ruined her happy family, and now he was coming to destroy the family she had managed to

build.

"Please don't tell Marie about it. She still thinks that that woman was our mother."

Lydia looked at Leo and added, "I don't want her to get hurt."

Leo understood Lydia's kind intentions. He admired how generous Lydia was.

Technically speaking, Marie wasn't her real sister, but the daughter of the woman she hated the most;

however, Lydia still chose to live with Marie like a real sister.

"I know what you're thinking. I really didn't like Zhaoyun before, and I even bullied her, but she still

clung to me like my little follower."

Lydia's face relaxed for a bit. "I accepted her as my sister with sincerity. She's an innocent kid."

Leo was deeply touched. He looked at Emilia who was sleeping deeply and agreed, "Yes, kids are

innocent."

Her family had already fallen apart once, and Leo would never let her go through that again.

Leo looked at Lydia with thoughtful eyes and pulled her into his arms. Then he said with a deep voice, Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"I'll give you happiness!"

Lydia didn't resist; she hugged Leo gently and said, "I never doubted that."

Instead of being scared by Lydia's family background, Leo made up his mind to be with Lydia together.

No one could part them.

No one!

Lydia told Leo something more about the loyal families in Valenham.

They were all named after their family names, and the Henderson family was just one of them. In

addition, there are nine other families.

The ten families had powerful backgrounds, which meant that Leo could no longer get away with things

like he did in Emerdale. He needed to be more careful.

The forces in Valenham were also stronger than those in Emerdale.

A second or third-class force was enough to make the four prestigious families yield. The scales of the

first-class families and the ten loyal families in Valenham were beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"It seems that we need to address Emerdale before we go the Valenham."

Leo muttered to himself.

The next day, Marcus came to Leo with a large pile of documents.

"Mr. Cohen, these are all the property documents of my family. You can take a look. Please sign here if

there's no problem. After that, all properties of the Wilson family will be transferred to you."

Leo skimmed over it. When he saw the headquarters of the J Group, his eyes narrowed slightly. "The

headquarters of the J Group is in Hopkins Metropolis?"

"Yes."

Marcus told Leo everything he knew, "The J Group developed with the support of Ted. He's from

Hopkins Metropolis. So we set the headquarters there."

"The J Group you're looking at now is just its Emerdale Branch. The headquarters is currently

controlled by some wealthy families in Hopkins Metropolis."

A cold light flashed in Leo's eyes, "Are you fooling me by bringing me this incomplete document?"

Marcus hurriedly knelt. Soaked in cold sweats, he said, "I wouldn't dare! The J group was one of the

top companies in this country. The Emerdale branch alone is enough to make my family one of the four

prestigious families. That may be Ted's last resort. He deliberately split the branch and the

headquarters in case we failed. He wanted you to focus on the Hopkins Metropolis market..."

"He's cunning, but that's alright..."

Leo grinned a light smile. Fingers tapping on the table, he said, "Now that he wanted me to get

involved in the Hopkins Metropolis market, I'll do as he wishes. Who's in charge of the headquarters of

the J Group now?"

"The Watts family controls it. The headquarters always looked down upon the people from the

Emerdale branch!"

"The Watts family..."

Cold lights crossed Leo's eyes. He suddenly came up with something. After letting Marcus go, he

dialed a number.

Soon, Alan Watts's voice came from the other side of the phone, "What can I do for you, Boss?"

"Alan, what’s your connection with the Watts family in Hopkins Metropolis?" Leo asked calmly.

After a long silence, Alan spoke again, but in an furious tone.

"That's my family." reading more
