Supreme Mars

Chapter 44 Public Infamy

Caroline hung up after saying this.

Leo held on to the phone and pondered for a long time. It seemed that the news of the O'Brien family

had reached the ears of the Ford family and they had come to denounce him.

There wasn't a hint of panic on Leo's face. He returned to the car and said indifferently, "Take me the

Ford house."

Nadine quickly stepped on the accelerator and the Rolls Royce sped toward their residence. In less

than 15 minutes, they arrived at the gates.

Leo asked Nadine to wait outside and walked into the courtyard of the residence by himself.

However, as soon as he went through the front door, Leo felt the atmosphere in the room become

charged; as if a storm was coming.

Everyone in the Ford family was seated in the living room. There was grim expression on all their

faces.

Caroline and Rebecca sat at both sides of the center, looking at Leo with disgust in their eyes. William,

who was seated in the middle, also looked helpless. "Leo, are you out of your mind?"

Leo immediately understood that the O'Brien incident had affected Caroline and Rebecca's discussion.

They had been rejected by Atlas Beauty and were venting their anger on him.

"Tell me, what have you done?!"

Samuel took the lead in launching an attack. He banged on the table and shouted angrily.

"What have I done?" Leo asked calmly.

"Okay, you don't want to tell us, do you? If you don't, I'll tell them for you!"

Samuel was so enraged that he smashed the cup on the table and said in a loud voice, "It's not enough

that you beat up the O’Brien’s and made them bleed, but then you broke into their company with your

thugs! Not only did you smash things up, but you also injured them."

"Leo. I've lived for a long time now, but I've never seen anyone as heinous as you. It's alright that you

did bad things alone, but you’ve also implicated us in this. What do you want? Do you want us all

dead? Will you only be satisfied if that happens?"

"You can do whatever you want, as long as it just affects you. But this time, you ended up implicating

us. You are truly an ingrate."

Samuel's wife, Marla, also rolled her eyes at Leo and said, "When William wanted to adopt you, I

advised him not to do something like that. If he raised an ingrate, he would regret it. Looks like what I

said really came true."

Marla had a glib tongue, and enjoyed pouring salt on other people's wounds.

Some words could be said, but others could not. After Marla finished speaking, Leo's eyes also

became much frostier looking.

"Leo, I didn't think you were someone like that, but I am very disappointed in you now."

Caroline also looked at Leo and said coldly, "Mr. Dwayne has always been helping us with the

cooperation with Atlas Beauty. Now, after what you did, the O'Brien family has turned against us, and

Atlas Beauty is very likely to terminate their agreement with us as well."

"It's all because of you; you've ruined everything!"

The others also looked at the Leo coldly and wanted to drive him out.

However, Leo remained calm. "You don't know anything, and you still want to push the blame onto

me?"

"A few days ago, when you all asked me to let you be the representative for this, I reminded you all that

it could fail. Did you listen then? It's better to rely on yourself whenever you can. If you count on others,

you will always be inferior to them!"

"You... you have the gall to make it seem like this is our fault?"

Caroline and Rebecca's faces alternated between red and white after hearing Leo's words. Rebecca

even pointed at Leo with trembling fingers.

How could he say that they were inferior?

"Did I say anything wrong?"

Leo narrowed his eyes at Rebecca and said lightly.

"How dare you, how dare you!"

Rebecca screamed angrily and suddenly turned her head to look at William. "It's all your son's fault. He

did something wrong and dragged us down. He can't be reasoned with. This can't go on..."

As she spoke, she covered her face and looked like she was about to cry.

William also looked very upset, and he remained silent.

"Kneel down and apologize!" Samuel ordered coldly.

William could not intervene in this matter. In terms of seniority, Samuel was the patriarch of the family,

so he was qualified to deal with the Leo.

"Kneel?"

A cold light flashed across Leo's eyes, the hatred in his eyes was clear. "Do you think you’re qualified

to make me grovel like that?"

"Why don't you consider why I smashed up Neil O'Brien's office? I didn't do anything wrong. Why

should I be made to apologize for it?"

Leo’s demeanor right now was icy cold, and the temperature in the living room dropped drastically.

Everyone couldn't help but shiver.

Samuel was also shocked as he looked at Leo. But he was also so livid that his entire body was

shaking. "Bastard, bastard...William, why are you keeping this ungrateful son at home? Get rid of him

so we can figure out how to fix this!"

William was sandwiched in the middle. He looked at Leo and let out a long sigh. "Leo, why did you

damage the O'Brien's business and injure them?"

If it was just property damage, they could just reimburse the O’Brien’s, but if Nicole's face was

disfigured in the process, it would be difficult to smooth things over.

"Do you know that the woman you injured is Frank Perry's mistress? These are all people who have

killed before. We can't afford to offend them." William sighed.

Leo was silent for a while, then, he looked at William seriously and asked, "Dad, do you believe me?"

William's eyes flickered as he looked into Leo's deep and determined gaze.

Why did Leo destroy Neil O'Brien's company for no rhyme or reason? Neil must have done something

to deserve it.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

He had heard of Neil O'Brien before. He had dealings with the underworld, and had a lot of dubious

stories spread about him.

However, was this useful?

The facts were that Leo had damaged their property, and hurt Frank Perry's woman. The O’Brien’s

were furious and were now going against the Fords. Their deal with Atlas Beauty was almost certainly

ruined.

Right now, the Ford family was being attacked from both sides. Forget the Lawson family. The O'Brien

family also wanted to suppress them and they had also offended an underground faction that they were

most unwilling to offend...

"I believe you, but I am the head of this family. I have to think of our best interests, otherwise..."

William was just about to continue when he was interrupted by Samuel. "William, why are you still

playing nice with him? Just boot him out already! Or are you trying to protect him?"

William continued to look at Leo as if he hadn't heard anything, saying, "Unless you can guarantee that

Atlas Beauty will continue working with us, and that you can also pacify the O’Brien’s and Frank Perry."

"William..."

Samuel's expression changed drastically. Caroline and Rebecca also looked at William with

dissatisfaction.

"Enough."

William shouted, his voice overwhelming everyone. When no one spoke, he looked at Leo and asked,

"Can you promise me that?"

Leo swept his eyes across the faces of all the Ford family members.

Everyone's faces were cold and detached, as if they could not wait to chase him out. Only William was

still in his corner.

He slowly closed his eyes and then slowly opened them again.

When he opened his eyes, he let out a soft sigh.

"I still can't bear to leave..."

Leo smiled wryly and said to himself.

His heart was cold. He could disregard the life and death of the other members of the Ford family, but

he could not disregard William.

He was not Leo's biological father, but he was more of a father than Leo deserved. When Leo was

condemned by everyone else, it was Williams who had stood up to defend him time again and time

again...

"Okay."

Leo agreed. "Give me a week. I will settle these three things for you."
