CHAPTER 563 CAN'T LIVE WELL!

The entire room was silent, with only Leo's faint laughter.

The people at the table looked at Leo with different eyes.

There was astonishment, fear and anger.

Maisy was the step-wife of Karl, the head of the Henderson family!

Although the status was certainly not as high as that of his ex-wife Aurora, she was at least the hostess

of the Henderson family.

Who dared to be so aggressive?

But it was Leo who insisted that Maisy punish herself with three glassed of wine.

He really had the audacity.

William and Caroline desperately gave Leo a wink, signalling him not to offend Maisy anymore.

Aurora and Lydia were flat-faced and looked indifferent.

Just from the tone of Maisy's words before, they wanted to give Maisy beating.

Marie was the one who had the hardest time in the middle.

One was his own mother and the other his brother-in-law.

Looking back, Maisy's face had surfaced in anger, "Who made this rule?"

As if he didn't notice Maisy's anger, Leo said indifferently, "This is a rule set by our ancestors, since it's

a thank-you banquet, it has to look like a thank-you banquet, otherwise it can't be called a thank-you

banquet."

Leo bit the bullet, not giving any chance to refute it.

Karl gave Maisy a faint look, "Drink it."

Maisy was embarrassed, and her teeth were clenched.

Karl had said so, so she had no choice but to drink.

Only, in his heart, he became even more resentful towards Leo.

Maisy took a deep breath, lifted her glass, pinched here nose and drank it all in one go.

One glass over, Maisy was already a little dizzy.

It was a small glass, but it was alcohol!

"There are two more glasses."

Leo pointed to the remaining two glasses and said with a smile.

Maisy bit her tongue hard, using the pain to keep herself awake.

With an icy glance at Leo, he picked up two glasses and drank them down again.

After all three glasses were finished, Maisy was drunk.

Leo led the applause and said with a smile, "Maisy, good job."

He looked at William and Caroline again, "Maisy has drunk three glasses, she has shown her sincerity,

now you can drink."

William and Caroline looked at each other, unaware that this glass of wine, they felt, weighed a

thousand pounds.

Still, they drank them all.

Maisy had already sat back in her original position, and although the expression on her face could not

be seen as happy or angry, her heart had already made up her mind that she would definitely take

revenge back.

Lydia gave Leo a meaningful glance, and Aurora even had an appreciative look in her eyes.

The banquet was titled as a thank-you party, but could they really made an apology.

It was insulting to Maisy.

But Leo's words completely dispelled her thoughts.

Wine culture?

It was just an excuse.

Karl took his glass of wine and said to William, "William, I am really sorry about Lydia's identity."

After saying that, Karl drank the wine in front of him.

William let out a bitter smile, "All that the family head did was for the sake of the family, and besides, it

has been so many years since it happened that I have long since stopped minding."

Leo and Lydia immediately glanced at William.

Aurora suddenly picked up her glass, "The person who should apologize is me. Because, the person

who came up with the idea of carrying away Lydia was me." Original from .

With these words from Aurora, everyone was astonished.

"Is that you?"

Lydia's face changed for a moment, her expression suddenly turning pale.

Leo, William, Caroline and the others also looked at Aurora in amazement.

They had always thought that it was Karl who had come up with this idea.

They didn't expect it to be Aurora.

Faced with Lydia's questioning, Aurora nodded calmly, "It's me, because I want a baby so badly."

"I can't let anyone know the secret that I can't have children, if this secret comes to light, it will be a

devastating blow not only to the Henderson family but also my family."

Aurora said softly, "It just so happens that when I learned of your birth, I planned to carry you back;

your outer personality is like mine, but your inner personality, like Vanessa."

Everyone fell into silence at the mention of the person 'Vanessa'.

William, in particular, had a face full of remembrance.

Vanessa was the biological mother of Lydia.

First wife of William.

However, after the loss of Lydia, she died soon afterwards after a short illness.

"The person I'm most sorry for is her."

Aurora slowly got up and came in front of William, then lowered his head, "I have sinned so much, I

don't ask for forgiveness, I just ask to treat Lydia well."

"In the days ahead, I will not appear before you if it is not necessary, and any danger I will take for you

is the only salvation I can do."

William hurriedly got Aurora up, "I want to thank you for raising Lydia."

Aurora smiled to herself, "I've never been a proper mother."

Leo put down his chopsticks.

From Aurora, he felt true repentance.

It might be in Karl too, but he was the head of the Henderson family and it didn't show very clearly.

Everyone was looking at Lydia.

At this time, it was time for Lydia to take a stand.

Lydia was silent for a moment, gazing at Aurora for a long time before suddenly shaking her head.

"Since your apology has been accepted by my father, it is the best penance for me not to hold a grudge

against you and to live well."

All the wishes were already contained in these brief words.

"There is one exception to this rule."

Karl suddenly spoke out, following Lydia's words.

The atmosphere, which had been somewhat subdued, instantly turned solemn.

Lydia's eyes were cold as she stared at Karl with a deadly stare.

Karl slowly looked towards Leo who was lightly drinking and eating his food: "Everyone must live well,

except for him, who cannot live well."

At his words, Leo slowly raised his head and looked at him indifferently.

The two men looked at each other, both noticing the other's murderous intent.

"What the hell do you want! Why do you just have a problem with him?"

Lydia's eyes were slightly red and she shouted with emotion.

Aurora's eyes also went cold: "Even if you don't like him, he is still your son-in-law, and I really can't

think of any reason for you to kill him."

"You want reasons, do you? OK, I'll give you that."

Karl looked at Leo indifferently, "You all don't know what kind of forces he is involved with, and I won't

allow such dangerous people to exist."

"This Northernland Conference is the perfect opportunity, so I've come in person and look forward to

facing off against you."

Karl's eyes narrowed slightly and his voice was hoarse.
