CHAPTER 655 RETREATING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Marie's situation was a bit like Caroline's in the past.

They both have a selfish, self-serving mother who will do anything to get what she wants.

Rebecca did even more than Maisy, but when it really came time for Rebecca to be taken away,

Caroline was also the one who suffered the most.

All human hearts are made of flesh, and no matter how much their birth mothers hurt them, they don't

want to see them die.

What's more, Maisy did all this for the good of Marie.

Leo eventually let Maisy go.

He hoped that Maisy would henceforth be reformed and that there would be no more pointless

struggles.

"Mum, promise sister and brother-in-law that you will never be hostile to them again, that we, as a

family, will stop fighting each other internally, okay?"

Marie hugged Maisy tightly and said with tears streaming down her face.

Maisy's face still wore the fear, but deep in her eyes, there was still a resentment pending.

This resentment arose from a gradual deterioration due to previous excessive fears.

"I can promise, but your sister must promise that she will not compete with you for family's property in

the future, as well as the family headship!"

Maisy's words were addressed to Marie, but her gaze, still deadly, glared at Lydia with a deep hatred in

her eyes.

And fear.

Lydia was so good and so beautiful, like a thousand virtues in one.

Even the best and most beautiful woman will be dwarfed by her.

This is all inherited from the first beauty of Valenham twenty years ago, Aurora.

And she was just a mistress who was favoured by Lady Luck and could never be compared to a Aurora

and Lydia. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

You don't need a reason to hate someone.

You are prettier and better than her, and you will be the object of resentment.

Maisy is too afraid of Aurora and, therefore, follows suit in fear of her daughter, Lydia.

She wanted Lydia's word!

"No way!"

Without waiting for Lydia to speak, a majestic voice came from the scene.

Aurora approached with Elena, and a host of other Byrne clansmen.

The crowd immediately made way.

At this moment, Aurora's face was gloomy to the extreme, especially when he looked at Maisy, her

eyes were filled with a deep killing intent.

Twenty years ago, when her husband was stolen away, she did not even feel the desire to kill Maisy,

but now, Aurora wanted to kill her.

"My son-in-law is not yet dead, and you are in a hurry to give him a funeral, and you are even looking

for someone to plot against my daughter. Maisy, do you really think that with Karl protecting you, I won't

dare to touch you?"

Aurora said in a cold voice, carrying an eerie murderous aura.

She had heard all about it and her first reaction after hearing about it was to get rid of Maisy!

Seeing Aurora coming, Maisy was scared out of her wits.

Although Marie was also scared, she continued to stop Aurora.

"I know what my mother did was wrong, but my sister and brother-in-law have already forgiven us, so

please, forgive my mother too!"

Aurora's eyes softened: "Good girl, it's none of your business."

At the same time, she looked at Leo and Lydia, and seeing that both of them were shaking their heads,

she stopped pursuing the matter.

But there was one thing she had to fight for.

"It's impossible to get my daughter to quit the Henderson family and not compete for any property!"

"In life, you can't give in, that's the bottom line."

Aurora's attitude was clear, no concessions were possible.

The two women looked dead on, one majestic, the other angry and frightened.

Marie couldn't help but take a step back and couldn't help but hide behind Lydia.

Somehow, both women had the wrong impression.

The unresolved grudges of the previous generation will be passed on to their current generation.

"Sis, we'll be best sisters for life, won't we?"

Marie's hands were cold and her voice trembled.

Lydia nodded wordlessly and just gently held her hand.

From the beginning to the end, Leo did not make a sound.

The legacy of the family's history cannot be solved by him alone.

He simply does what he can to prevent the cruellest things from happening.

It is late in the evening.

But Maisy's room was still brightly lit, and in front of her sat a depressed Marie.

"Marie, don't blame Mum for being cruel, I'm doing this for your sake!"

Maisy shed her heart: "I won't tell you more about how you came to be, but in your father's eyes, he

has always been dominated by your sister. She is more capable than you, her influence is wider than

yours, in the future, will it be her who inherits the family business, or you!"

Marie kept shaking her head and said tearfully, "What does it matter? Whether it's me or my sister,

we're all very close!"

"No!"

Maisy said, "You and your sister are close, that's because right now she's not in control, you're both

daughters of the family, once she's in power, will she still recognise you as her sister?"

"You're a flower in a hothouse. I have been out there for so many years, how can I still lie to you? In a

royal family, family ties are the most unreliable!"

"You can't trust anyone but your mother, understand?"

These words pierced Marie's heart so deeply that her body trembled and tears came out at once.

"One day, you will understand my good intentions, you have to understand early, otherwise in the

future, there will be no place for us in the family."

This night, Marie had a hard time sleeping all night.

What she couldn't imagine was that Lydia couldn't sleep either.

They both fear the day when they will turn against each other.

Late at night, on the rooftop of a high-rise in the Hopkins.

A black figure landed on top of the rooftop like a bat.

Beside her stands a western woman in a sultry purple court dress.

She glanced at Hunter with an indifferent expression, "Is it settled?"

Hunter shook his head and said in a deep voice, "He was strong and the bomb was defused, if I hadn't

escaped so quickly, I would have had to die there."

"Useless!"

Violet was furious on the spot, her expression a grimace.

But soon she calmed down and said lightly, "It seems that I have been too hasty, we should perhaps

change the target."

"Change the target?"

Hunter froze for a moment.

"Three years ago, Leo was our target, but by mistake we caught Dominic. It has been proven that Leo

cannot be caught unless the monarch himself does it, we have to change our strategy."

Violet analysed calmly, "We'll have to retreat and look for that Sharon."

"The woman ......"

Bat was hesitant: "She's nowhere near the combined ability of both Leo and Dominic."

"That's better than going home empty-handed."

Violet said in a cold voice, "There are not many five-star executives within the organisation, do you

know how many people are eyeing my position?"

"Relatively speaking, Sharon is much easier to be captured."

Violet suddenly smiled, "That'll have to be my 'ace in the hole'."

From behind Violet, a cold man came out.

He is Dominic.
