CHAPTER 733 THE SITUATION OF THE SPENCER FAMILY

With Monica's status, it is basically difficult to get in touch with people from the Henderson family.

With a cold glow on his face, Leo picked up the call, but did not speak.

"Hello? Have you finished your business? When are you going to send me the person?"

Paul's voice on the phone was very impatient, clearly his patience was wearing thin.

"Hello? Hello?"

Paul waited for a while and his tone became even more impatient.

Leo then held the phone, his eyes cold to the core.

Paul, on the other hand, did not notice the difference at all, but simply felt that Monica was teasing him.

He got furious on the spot.

"If you dare to fool me, I'll make your family break up and you won't be able to live in the city of

Valenham!"

With Paul's ability, it was easy to do.

"......"

However, the phone was still silent.

Paul was completely furious: "Okay, you're not talking, are you? I'm coming over, and I will not give you

the money!"

In his anger, Paul hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone screen, Leo suddenly smiled faintly, only that smile cold.

Cindy immediately knew that Paul was going to be unlucky and immediately asked, "What do we do

next?"

She didn't know why, but Cindy actually felt a little bit of excitement in her heart at this time.

For this was the first time she was not acting with Leo as an enemy.

Cindy's somewhat agitated look caused Leo to frown, slightly keeping a little distance from her, and

said, "Go upstairs and wait for him to come."

"Yes!"

Monica's flat had two floors, and Cindy quickly went to hide upstairs. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Leo watched her go upstairs and wondered why she was so excited.

Shaking his head, he opened the huge wardrobe.

Apart from some of the girls' personal belongings that had rolled out in a scattered manner, there was

also a sleeping beauty lying quietly.

It was Lydia.

Leo's face changed slightly and he put his hand on the tip of Lydia's nose.

Uniform breathing.

It was then that Leo's restless heart relaxed.

Luckily, it was just a case of passing out.

Leo followed him upstairs with Lydia in his arms.

The upstairs rooms are locked and the two sit on the floor of the stairwell.

Seeing Leo come up with Lydia in his arms, Cindy's face changed slightly.

Especially looking at Lydia, Cindy's eyes suddenly had a touch more envy in them.

For some reason, she envied the current Lydia, having a husband who cares so much about her and

cares for her.

"You really love her."

After looking at it in a daze for a long time, Cindy suddenly spoke up.

Leo was slightly stunned, looking at Lydia who was quietly sleeping in his arms, and smiled lightly,

"Having experienced more together, I can't part with her."

Cindy nodded and was somewhat quiet at this point, with a frustrated expression on her face.

Everyone has moments when they are suddenly lost, and at this moment Cindy is in this state.

At this time, Monica was also not yet awake, and Paul was not yet here, so he was idle, so Leo looked

at Cindy and asked, "Why do you hate Ariella so much?"

Cindy froze for a moment, apparently, she did not expect Leo to ask this question suddenly.

After a long silence, she smiled faintly, "There is no reason, do you need a reason to hate someone?"

"I hate it when she lives in this world and takes a breath of fresh air."

Leo nodded approvingly, "It is true, but there should be no hate in the world without a reason, right?"

Once again, Cindy was silent for a long, long time.

She gave a complicated look at Lydia in Leo's arms and asked slyly in return, "If you can figure out why

your wife and Ariella don't get along well, you can figure out why I don't get along well with Ariella."

At these words, Leo's heart trembled slightly, his face full of incredulity.

He still underestimates the heart of a woman.

Why does Lydia and Ariella not get along well?

They are equally good and equally beautiful.

One mountain does not allow two tigers, and this is also true when two women who are both beautiful

and excellent come together.

They would do everything they could to split the difference and trample each other underfoot ---- To be

precise, it was Ariella who was unilaterally competing with Lydia, who was puritanical and had no

thoughts of that, and even found it a little boring.

But the more Lydia does not want to compare with Ariella, the more Ariella feels that Lydia is

pretending to be noble, and the more she wants to step in to put her underfoot.

Only that night five years ago, she never dreamed that Leo, who was supposed to be her man, would

be stolen away and, in a blur, he had sex with Lydia.

This incident became the trigger, and the man who should have been Ariella's became Lydia's by

mistake.

In Ariella's opinion, it was Lydia who stole her man, how could this be tolerated?

This is why, to date, Ariella has not given up.

But Ariella and Cindy, again, have other reasons.

It is not difficult to imagine that it comes from inside the Spencer family.

Cindy smiled bitterly, "You guessed right, sometimes, having more geniuses in the family is not a good

thing, instead, it will lead to a deadly disaster."

Leo didn't say a word, and really he guessed right.

"My grandfather is old and doesn't have many years left, and my father's generation is generally

mediocre, so he can only pin our hopes on our generation."

Cindy said, "Originally, me and Jordan were the leading young generation, plus Jordan was often

overseas, even after he returned, his influence may not be as good as mine, can you understand what I

mean?"

Cindy suddenly looked at Leo with a somewhat serious expression.

Leo nodded his head.

He has seen the feuds of the gentry.

Originally, Cindy was the most promising heir to the Spencer family, and she also grew up enjoying

praise and applause, for she was the daughter of the royal family, with her pretty looks and

unparalleled wisdom.

But what will you do one day when an outsider suddenly arrives in your home, who is no worse than

you in looks and probably less intelligent than you?

If Leo was Cindy, he would be angry, nervous and scared ---- of the day his position would be replaced.

So Cindy tried every possible way to get rid of her, and even eradicate her.

There is no kinship in the face of power!

"So, what are you going to do?"

Leo asked, his eyes becoming sharper little by little.

On this point alone, he and Cindy are enemies.

Because he promised Ariella that he would help her get a firm foothold in the Spencer family.

Cindy was also clear about this, but instead she spread a smile at Leo, "What if, I seek your help?"

"No."

Leo's refusal was decisive.

Cindy looked gloomy, and then, with some reluctance, looked at Leo: "What if, I take one step ahead of

Ariella and become your woman?"

Leo's eyes instantly became gloomy, and a cold light faintly emerged from his pupils.

"Firstly, you can't be my woman and neither can Ariella, secondly, I only promised Ariella to help her get

a firm foothold in the Spencer family, not to help her seize power, so don't even think about involving us

in your family’s affairs."

Cindy, however, shook her head and smiled, "You can't stay out of it, because you're already involved."

"What do you mean?"

Leo's face changed slightly.

"In fact, my situation within the Spencer family is still the most precarious, Ariella is the one."

Cindy said, "Because Jordan has returned."

"Jordan?"

Leo's brow furrowed as his mind drifted back to the events of that night at the Crystal Palace.

That was his first encounter with Jordan.

No words were spoken, but he felt a pressure he had never felt before.

There is no doubt that that Jordan is a master.

That alone makes him impossible to ignore.

"Jordan and Ariella have an irreconcilable hatred for each other."

Cindy suddenly laughed happily, "The revenge of matricide!"

At the sound of her words, Leo suddenly changed his expression slightly.

Thoughts go back to the day when Ariella's birth was revealed.

She had a mother, called Esther, who was just a maid of the Spencer family.

She was forced to have sex by Jordan's father, Maxwell, after drinking.

And therefore Ariella and her brother were born.

However, the siblings, Esther and her twins children were not tolerated by the royal family and

attempted to be erased.

Esther fought to the death to protect the twins from the Spencer Clan pursuit and went into exile all the

way to Pearl.

But then she met Frank, who was still a gangster at the time at the Pearl, and was raped again, and

thus she was pregnant with Wallace.

Starving and cold, coupled with physical and mental torture, Esther died.

Ariella watched her die at that time.

To this day, Ariella blames the Spencer family for her mother's death.

So, she will be the king of the Spencer Clan. All those who bullied their mother back then, she will

liquidate them one by one!

The first to bear the brunt of this is Jordan and Maxwell.

"Jordan was also clear about this, so he came back to fight me for the throne of the family head while

obliterating Ariella in the process."

Cindy laughed, "So I don't panic at all, I just need to sit and watch they fight, that's all."

Leo was silent and did not say anything, if it came to that day, he would make a move.

Cindy did not continue this topic.

Neither Ariella, nor Jordan, nor Cindy, would present the bottom card they had.

Dark strife is more frightening than open strife.

Suddenly, there was a waking wail from downstairs.

Cindy immediately lowered her voice, "She's awake."

Leo immediately stopped making noises and looked at the situation below.

As it happened, Lydia woke up in his arms.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw herself in the arms of a man and instinctively tried to scream

out.

"Hush ......"

Leo hurriedly covered her mouth and made a noise-making gesture.

Once she saw that it was Leo, Lydia immediately relaxed, then broke off Leo's hand and asked, "Why

are you here? Where is this place?"
