CHAPTER 435 A PERFECT ESCAPE PLAN

Having watched Leo and Lydia leaving, Kate looked at the messy courtyard covered with corpses, a

smile spreading across her face.

"Ask them to clean the yard."

Then she went back to the house as she spoke.

Seeing that, Chris let out a sigh.

The situation in Emerdale would become tense and turbulent again after tonight.

Now that the Hamilton family was eliminated, there was no one who was able to compete with Leo in

Emerdale from now on.

Chris asked the servants to clean the yard and went back to the house after Kate, only to find her

staring blankly at a plum tree in the garden.

"What are you looking at, Kate?" After some hesitation, Chris finally plucked up his courage and asked.

Kate looked back at him and gave a smile. "I’m waiting for the plum blossoms to bloom."

Chris was stunned to hear that, and then he shook his head.

"It’s October now, and plum blossoms don’t bloom in this season."

"They will," Kate whispered, saying no more.

Seeing that, Chris remained silent and looked at the bare branches with her.

"I’m leaving," Kate stood up and said.

"Where to?" Chris could tell something was going on, his heart racing.

Kate looked into the distance. "To Valenham."

Hearing that, Chris collapsed to the ground.

In fact, Chris knew this day would come sooner or later when a man called Hayden appeared in Kate’s

life.

Actually, Kate wasn’t a member of the Lawson family. She changed her last name into "Lawson" to play

up to the real Lawson family when she was young.

Kate said nothing else, lending an air of melancholy to the scene.

"Kate!" Chris suddenly rose to his feet and stared at Kate, saying loudly, "You’ll always be my cousin,

no matter what happens in the future, and nothing can change the fact!"

A touch of surprise flashed across Kate’s eyes.

Then she came up to Chris and gave a faint smile. "From now on, you’ll take over the Lawson Group.

Don’t mess it up without me."

"I won’t!" Chris said in a choked voice, his eyes red.

"Besides, I’m glad to meet you." For the first time, Kate gave a genuine smile. "Tell me what’s my

original last name."

"Spencer, Kate Spencer."

Chris left after saying that, tears streaming down his face. At this moment, he suddenly remembered

the question Leo had asked him a long time ago.

"Do you want to be the master of the Lawson family?"

Now, Chris attained his wish. He finally became the master of the Lawson family.

However, everything else had changed!

Bang!

Suddenly, Chris dropped on his knees and made a kowtow to Kate’s back.

"Thank you for what you’ve taught me, Kate!" Chris said firmly, which made Kate pause.

Kate, nevertheless, didn’t look back. "Take care of the plum trees in the garden for me. Tell me when

the plum blossoms bloom."

Having left those meaningful words behind, Kate Lawson, to be more exact, Kate Spencer, left the

Lawson Residence she had lived in for 20 years.

"The future will be more exciting. Leo, I’ll be waiting for you in Valenham."

…

Meanwhile, Leo and Lydia didn’t go back home together.

"Lydia, Nadine will drive you back. I have some business to attend to." A sense of hostility glinted in

Leo’s eyes as he spoke.

Now that he had solved the Lawson family’s problems, he had to deal with Rebecca.

Lydia knew what was on his mind, so she replied in a whisper, "Take it easy."

After that, Lydia left alone.

Leo went to the address given by Nadine with Zakariya and Luna. It was a shabby warehouse located

in the suburbs. Since it was in a low-lying area, the air was humid over there.

As soon as they entered the warehouse, they saw Rebecca, who was tied up to the chair, and

Caroline, who was curling up in the corner.

Caroline arrived after what had happened, and William had already woken up by then.

"Dad!" Leo walked in and saw William standing there, heaving a sigh of relief.

"Finally, you came, Leo." William threw an indifferent look at Rebecca and Caroline as he spoke.

One of the women was his wife who had lived with him for over 20 years, the other was the daughter

he had taken care of for over 20 years, but both of them were fooled by some strange man.

At this moment, William felt more disappointed than angry.

Caroline saw Leo and opened her mouth, wanting to greet him, but no word came up.

Rebecca, however, didn’t even dare to look up at Leo, shivering with fear.

Leo didn’t pick on Caroline, because he already knew about her motive, and now, he had to figure out

Rebecca’s.

Leo came up to Rebecca and asked calmly, "Why would you do that?"

Flustered, Rebecca squirmed restlessly and stuttered, "I… I know nothing. I… I was forced to do that."

"What did Jaxon threaten you with?" Leo asked sternly.

Rebecca’s mind went blank as she heard the name "Jaxon". She had kept in contact with him for so

long, yet she had no idea what that man was called. On the contrary, Leo had figured that out so soon,

and that could prove two things. Firstly, Leo was an excellent observer; secondly, he came from a

powerful background.

Rebecca would rather believe the latter to be true.

Then she fell into a daze, and her face turned pale at that thought.

"I can’t tell you!" Rebecca kept shaking her head.

Leo wasn’t surprised at all. "It’s OK if you don’t want to tell me. Well, let me put it this way. Why did you

hire a hitman to kill my wife?"

All the color drained from both Rebecca and Caroline’s faces as Leo asked that question.

"Mom, just tell him!" Caroline urged tearfully, "It’s not too late to turn back now!"

"What do you know?" Rebecca roared, watching Caroline with tearful eyes. "I did everything for you!"

Leo shook his head upon hearing that. "Leave her alone here until she tells."

After that, he asked William and Caroline to leave first before he closed the gate of the warehouse.

Rebecca fell into a panic. "No! Leo, you can’t leave me alone here! It’s a crime to imprison me here!"

Bang!

The gate clanging shut was Leo’s reply.

"Someone… Help…" A deep sense of despair overwhelmed her, but at the same time, she was filled

with hatred for Leo.

"Leo, if I survive this time, you’ll pay for this!"

After some time, Rebecca was suddenly woken up by a glimmer of light. She looked closely and found

the light was reflected by a long piece of glass on the ground.

Rebecca looked up immediately and glanced at the corner. The warehouse’s width was less than two

meters, and one of the windows was broken.

Suddenly, she cheered up and figured out a perfect escape plan.

The next moment, Rebecca used all her strength to throw herself on the ground, and then tried to rub

the rope against the broken glass. It took her a long time to do so, but she persisted.

Finally, she cut all the ropes.

Then she grabbed the ladder and jumped out of the broken window carefully. Original from .

The moment she landed, Rebecca felt as if her life was full of hope again.

At last, she melted into the darkness…
