CHAPTER 437 HERE COMES JUDITH

Actually, Rebecca had doubted about it at the moment she ran away—the escape was too much easier

than she had ever expected.

She still remembered the glass fragments scattering on the ground, the ladder and the window from

which she squeezed herself out—everything seemed to be purposely arranged for her.

But it was such a haste that she couldn’t take time to think about it. She was so overwhelmed with the

urge to escape.

So her every single move after that was still within Leo’s expectation.

He knew Rebecca herself would never grow the gut to hire a killer unless she was backed up by

someone else.

It turned out that he was right about his guess.

Standing behind him, Caroline shouted at Rebecca helplessly with her eyes filled with tears, “Mom!

Why don’t you tell us about it? Why do you still insist to revenge!”

William stared at her, looking sullen.

Actually, they had been standing at the gate for a while, from which they could clearly capture the

content of their conversation.

ON their way there, William was hoping that Leo might allow Rebecca a pardon to some degree. But

after hearing her evil plan, he knew that possibility had gone zero. What was more, she had even

incurred herself the worst punishment.

“We know nothing about it! Don’t arrest us!” Jayden was scared. He suddenly said to Sandra, “It’s her!

It’s Rebecca who has been conspiring all these! We were all deluded because of her!”

“Oh, really?” Sandra then questioned with a weird sneer, “As far as I know, it’s the Fords who have

been conspiring altogether to assassinate William.”

“Now we have arrested the killer, who had already confessed!”

What she said smashed Jayden’s every excuse he was trying to make to keep themselves clean.

Now his face grew paler out of panic.

Sandra looked around and said, “Whoever paid the killer is guilty! Get them arrested! All of them!”

Soon, more than half of the Fords were under arrested.

Though the Fords had been known to be close to those families in the first tier, they were still actually

depending on the support from the Nicholson family.

However, ever since the Nicholsons was doomed, the Fords had been declining.

The downfall of a family always brought misfortune. The weaker a family, the more snobbish they

would turn to be. So the Fords started to scramble for the property remaining

Among all the Fords, there were about ninety percent of them contributing a share to paying a million

for the killer while Rebecca had paid two hundred thousand all by herself.

The villa soon fell into silence as all the Fords involved had been arrested.

While leaving, every one of them paid Rebecca a look filled with hatred.

In less than a minute, she was left alone.

As expected, she drew the attention of all.

“Mom, tell me! Why did you do that?” Caroline questioned with great pain. Now her face was covered

with tears streaming down from her eyes.

Though Rebecca had committed such an unforgivable crime, as her daughter, Caroline still cared

about her.

Her plan to conspire another murder had been scuttled. With that knowing, Rebecca looked blank while

slouching on the ground.

Not until quite a while later did she utter again with a bitter smile, “Alright, I will tell you why.”

Leo stared at her. Of course, he would also like to know the reason.

But William simply turned his back on her. A drip of tear ran down his face.

Rebecca answered while looking at Caroline seriously, “I did that for you!”

“For me?” Caroline was shocked.

Rebecca nodded and her eyes turned bloodshot, “Lydia is actually your sister from the same father!

Both William and I have been keeping this secret for more than two decades, believing that no one

would have ever found out anything about it. But the truth still leaked…”

“After she married Leo, she would be back to the family in another way as the in-laws. Because of that,

your father would definitely shift his concern to her. If that happens, you and I would end up being

inferior to her!”

While speaking, Rebecca suddenly suffered a breakdown. She covered her face to burst into tears.

“But you only deem me a snob preying for money! I allowed you a chance to be part of a privileged

family by marriage! I planned all these just for your sake! I just want you to live a life with no worries!”

“William is part of the royal families in Valenham. Even if a servant working for them could enjoy a

status much more superior than others. If there will be a day when he could return to Valenham, even

the value of the property he owns would be greatly skyrocketing. But what if Lydia, his eldest daughter,

returns to his side? Do you think we still have chance to get even a mere share from the property?”

She stared at Caroline with her eyes wide open, from which tears kept dripping, “Caroline, you are the

second daughter he got from his second wife! There’s no way you can outweigh Lydia in his heart. We

must struggle for any opportunity all by ourselves! Do you read me?”

Caroline stood still, looking blank. Tear still overwhelmed her face all over.

“Enough!” William, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly let out an angry bellow.

He walked over to Rebecca and refuted, “You said both you and Caroline would suffer inferiority once

Lydia returns. But think about it! Have you ever been treated unfairly for all these years?”

“We are family! You mean everything to me and of course you will have everything passed down from

me! I was just trying to make up for Lydia.”

As soon as he finished, Rebecca looked dumfounded.

But then she kept yelling, “No! Impossible!”

Caroline shouted again, “Mom, that’s true!”

“The company, and the house we live both belong to me! Dad has my name written on all certificates of

property title!”

“You were being too paranoid about your own assumption.” Leo also walked over to Rebecca and said,

“Your worry rooted from your assumption that Lydia and I would scramble for the property from you,

right? But do you have any idea about the property I own in total?”

William echoed, “You are still kept in the dark. Actually, it’s Leo who offered us everything we have right

now.”

“He offered us both Virgil Corporation and Atlas Beauty.”

“He made an acquisition of Vesper Corporation and then he gave it to me.”

“It’s he again who got us the sponsorship worth 880 million.”

“The property he owns has gone far beyond your greatest expectation. While the property we own only

look like a penny when compared to his.”

Rebecca was stunned. She shook her head, freaked and disturbed.

“No, you are lying…you are all lying!”

“We are not lying.” Sandra added, “Do you know how powerful he is?”

“Among the four prestigious families in Emerdale, some were smashed by him while the rest have

yielded to him.”

“He dissolved the feud between the Perries and the Spencers.”

“Even Alan, the richest guy in Emerdale, has been one of his followers.”

“But you actually wanna murder him and Lydia out of your selfishness. How pathetic!”

As Sandra finished, she didn’t continue. Then she got Rebecca back to the police office.

Caroline was still lost in shock for quite a while.

Leo walked over to her and gently asked, “Do you hate me?”

Caroline finally collected herself, shook her head and forced out a bitter smile, “She deserved it. But

after all, she’s my mom. I am sad when seeing her being arrested.”

Leo smiled and only replied with silence.

Caroline wiped off her tears and smiled again, “I should take the blame for what happened to the

company. I will quit my job tomorrow.”

After that, she was about to leave.

“Wait!” Leo stopped her.

Caroline paused and gave a slight shiver all over.

Leo added casually, “You should know how great the impact you brought to the company. Do you think

simply quitting your job is gonna help anything?”

After a short pause, he continued, “Stay and work. But you won’t be paid until you have fully covered

the financial damage. Are you okay with that?”

Once again, Caroline burst into tears. But it was happy ones this time, “Yeah!”

Leo smiled and walked out of the gate.

He looked up at the night sky, planning to revive the business again.

But then his phone buzzed. It was a call from Nadine.

“My lord, Music Maestro is here for you.”All content is property © .
