My Billionaire Husband

Looking gloomy, Caroline replied with a nod. After that, a very long silence succeeded, and Rebecca and the others said no more. Before today, they had never got wind of Leo’s wedding, and everyone found the news unacceptable as Caroline broke it.

“How did that loser suddenly get married?”

Patricia was confused. “Now that he’s married, what should we do?”

Their original plan was to have Caroline play up to and learn more about Leo, but now since he was married, Caroline could no longer get close to him.

“That loser! How many secrets is he hiding from us?”

The more Rebecca thought, the angrier she grew. She flung all the glasses on the table down to the floor in a fit of rage.

“How dared he hit my daughter! He’d better not fall into my hands, or I’ll make him suffer!”

Patricia came to comfort Rebecca at once. “Calm down, Rebecca. The information we’ve got about him is wrong, and I’m sorry Caroline got beat up for nothing.”

Suddenly, Caroline got agitated. “What do you mean by that, Patricia? So you mean I was beaten up in vain?”

“Weren’t you?”

Patricia rolled her eyes and continued, “We want you to apologize to him, to fawn on him, and to repair your relationship with him, not to seduce him.”

Now the way everyone looked at Caroline turned a little odd as Patricia said so. Truly, that was the nastiest way to approach Leo, and Caroline also thought of it.

“Now we can only call dad and ask him to deal with this.”

Everyone nodded, and at last, Caroline made the phone call.

“How’s it going, Caroline? Has Leo changed his attitude towards you?” Jayden asked happily as soon as he answered the call.

Caroline replied in embarrassment, “Grandpa, I screwed it up. Not only hasn’t he changed his attitude towards me, but he also beat me up.”

“What? You screwed it up?!”

Jayden raised his voice immediately. “Are you kidding me? How can you blow such an easy one?”

Caroline, who was already dressed down by her family, felt wronged. Now that Jayden scolded her, she felt worse and burst into tears.

“Stop crying! What a bunch of losers!” Jayden snapped, “What did you do that made Leo beat you up?”

Rebecca couldn’t take it anymore, snatched the phone and burst out, “Dad, don’t blame Caroline anymore. Leo is married. Your plan didn’t work!”

“He’s married?” After a long pause, Jayden asked in a serious tone, “Is your source reliable?”

“Of course!”

Caroline chimed in at once, “The woman who beat me up called herself Leo’s sister-in-law. It can’t be false!”

“In that case, there’s no point playing up to him,” Jayden replied. “But, in my opinion, this isn’t bad news.”

Rebecca got puzzled. “What do you mean by that?”

“Since that Leo is married, he must have a wife and children, and that will make him vulnerable and sensitive,” Jayden murmured thoughtfully. “It only takes one step to take him down…”

Everybody shuddered as they heard him.

“Grandpa, so you want to do something to Leo’s wife and children?” Caroline asked in surprise.

“This is our last resort,” Jayden replied. “Did you find out who his wife is?”

“No…”

Caroline shook her head. She had only seen Leo’s sister-in-law, who was so pretty, and presumably, her sister must be beautiful as well.

“Find it out!” Jayden said in a stern voice. “Find out who she is in every possible way! That’s his Achilles heel!”

“Yes!” Rebecca, Caroline and the others replied vigorously.

…

After he sent Marie to school, Leo drove back to Violet Residences. As soon as he got off the car, he received a phone call from Forrest.

“Mr. Cohen, as long as you ask, I’ll kick Thomas out of Kingston Chamber of Commerce.”

Leo, nevertheless, gave a faint smile and replied, “No rush. I have a better solution.”

Admittedly, if Leo simply wanted to bring Thomas down, he could have asked Forrest to drive him out of Kingston Chamber of Commerce. Once Thomas lost the membership, Julton Pharmaceutical would fail sooner or later.

However, that was not what Leo wanted.

What he wanted was the truth of “316 Event” being revealed. Now that Darcey had promised Leo that he would make the truth public, the thing Leo needed to do next was pay Thomas back in his own coin.

“So, what do you think I should do now, Mr. Cohen?” Forrest asked respectfully.

“It’s quite simple,” said Leo faintly. “Promote him. Help him expand the pharmaceutical market around Sallton and Winham.”

“Ruin Julton Pharmaceutical the way it ruined the Ford family three years ago.”

Leo’s eyes glinted dangerously as he spoke. All he wanted to do was take vengeance for his father. The Ford family’s business was established and developed by William. However, Julton Pharmaceutical threw mud at its name and destroyed it. As the master of the Ford family, Willian lost all his reputation, got a bad name and was under a lot of pressure. Who could ever imagine what he had gone through?

Hearing him, Forrest squinted his eyes. “I see, Mr. Cohen. The higher the monkey climbs the tree, the more of his butt you’ll see!”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Exactly.”

“I’ll get it done right away. He who offends you comes to no good end!” Forrest hung up the phone after he finished his sentence.

Leo recovered himself and walked into Violet Residences slowly.

But ten minutes after he walked in…

There was a rustle in the bush across the road from Violet Residences. With that, a grim-looking woman who was wearing a tight leather outfit, walked out of it.

She was dressed in a black jacket, black pants and black boots. Even her hair and eyes were black too. There was only one person around Leo who dared to dress herself this way, and that one was Nadine.

However, this woman was apparently not her. She and Lydia were of similar temperaments, but she was less cold than her. If Lydia was described as an iceberg, then this woman was an untouchable goddess, who was lonely, isolated, and solitary. Besides that, she was also a little sad.

She was a woman with stories.

She stood quietly on the opposite side of the road, looked in the direction Leo disappeared, and grinned. It wasn’t a bright smile, but a faint and light one. However, the smile made her look stunning and glamorous.

“I got you,” the woman whispered to herself happily. She didn’t follow Leo into Violet Residences, but stood for a few seconds and left. Her shiny dark hair flapping in the air and emitting a pearly glow, she exuded loneliness.
