Chapter 113 Take Good Care of Him
Rachel was shocked to see that maning in without permission. "I told you to wait in the reception
area. How did youe here?"
The handsome man chuckled despite himself and said, "Well, International Commerce Center used to
be mine. I transferred it to someone else for some reasons, but I don’t think that will stop me from
entering the building now, will it?"
Rachel threw a surprised look at the man. She never expected that he would be the previous owner of
International Commerce Center.
"Benedict, what did youe for?"
Lydia, however, scowled at this man and asked in a cold voice.
The man called Benedict Hudson seemed to be no stranger to Lydia’s attitude towards him.
Unaffected, he kept that rxed smile on his face. "I bought International Commerce Center for you
back then. It’s just that my family business asked me back suddenly, and I had no choice but to transfer
it to Justin at a low price. Now that I’ve done my job, of course I have toe back to see you."
"I’m married," Lydia said faintly.
"…"
The words hung in the air.
Something shed across Benedict’s eyes, but soon he recovered himself and said to Lydia with a
smile, "You got me wrong, Lydia." He paused and continued, "As your friend, I care about you. No
matter what you’ll do in the future, I’ll support you."
"It’s not up to you to care about my wife."
Just at this moment, a stern voice rang out, sending chills down everyone’s spine.
All the people present looked back and saw Leo striding towards them with Forrest behind him.
Lydia was surprised to see Leo. "Why are you here?"
Suddenly, Lydia realized that she only knew Leo worked in International Commerce Center, but had no
idea whichpany he worked in exactly or which post he held.
She winked at Leo, signaling him to leave immediately, but it was toote.
"Your wife?"
Hostility glinted in Benedict’s eyes. He sized Leo up and gave a self-deprecating smile. "Well, I, the heir
of the distinguished the Hudson family which is famous around Sallton and Winham, have worked so
hard for years chasing the girl I like, but a broke and powerless guy beat me to it. Curse you, cruel
fate!"
"How dare you humiliate Mr. Cohen!"
Forrest’s eyes darkened and he growled, but Leo stretched out an arm to stop him. Instead, he walked
up to Benedict and narrowed his eyes. "Are you from Sallton and Winham?"
"Exactly," Benedict introduced himself proudly. "The Hudson family from Sallton and Winham!"
Leo remained calm, while Forrest snorted behind him.
The Hudson family from Sallton and Winham? A distinguished family?
The next moment, Leo pointed at Lydia and said tly, "If you don’t want to destroy the Hudson family
with your own hands, stay away from her."
Hearing that, Lydia, Rachel and Benedict were stunned.
Sallton and Winham was a general name for a region including many cities. Among them, the
developed ones were Emerdale, City J and City S. Any family from Sallton and Winham on the list was
well-established and respectable. Even the Lawson family, one of the four most powerful families from

Emerdale, didn’t dare to introduce themselves this way, and how dared Benedict do that?
Benedictughed out of anger and red at Leo. "No one has ever talked to the Hudson family like
this!"
"But now someone has." Leo said with perfect nonchnce, "And I’m not kidding."
Forrest was ready. As long as Leo gave an order, he would take actions on the Hudson family.
Benedict stared coldly at Leo, hoping Leo would submit to his overwhelming aura, but gradually, he
was surprised to find that Leo’s piercing eyes made his heart race instead!
Meanwhile, Benedict found the middle-aged man behind him very familiar. He felt as if he had seen him
somewhere before, be failed to remember the details.
Cautious man as he was, Benedict stepped back, turned to Leo and said indifferently, "Remember what
you said. You’ll pay for it sooner orter."
"Besides, you don’t deserve Lydia!" Benedict added and left.
Both Lydia and Rachel stared at Leo in astonishment, especially Lydia, because she was aware that
the Hudson family was in influential family. She originally intended to defend Leo, but unexpectedly,
Benedict ended up leaving first.
Lydia walked up to Leo and persuaded him in earnest, "Don’t say that again. The background of
International Commerce Center is much moreplicated than you imagined."
Aware that Lydia told him so for his own good, Leo stared gently at her. "I’m just worried about you."
"I’m good."
Lydia looked away at once and hurried off with Rachel.
It was working time now. If the employees saw them, gossip about her would spread like wildfire
tomorrow.
After Lydia left, Leo calmed down and said, "Ask Justin to look into that man’s background. I want all
his information!"
"Yes, Mr. Cohen." Forrest took out his phone immediately and called Justin.
…
Benedict left As Beauty and went down in the elevator to Vesper Corporation.
The elevator door opened. Peter was already waiting there with an obsequious smile. "You are… Mr.
Hudson?"
"You are… Mr. Lawson?"
Benedict cast a surprised nce at Peter’s face. His facial features looked disharmonious. Especially
his nose, one could tell at a nce that it had once been broken and that he had surgically repaired it,
because the mark was quite obvious.
Peter exined with embarrassment, "I am, Mr. Hudson. A punk broke my nose some time ago, and I
had surgery to have it repaired the other day."
"I see," Benedict sighed with relief. "You have so much business to attend to, Mr. Lawson. Please take
good care of yourself."
Peter beamed a smile and asked Benedict toe in. "Please get in, Mr. Hudson."
The two of them walked into a private office. The moment the door was opened, a woman with perfect
makeup in a white close-fitting gown made a slight bow and greeted Benedict. "Hello, Mr. Hudson."
If Leo were here, he would recognize this woman, Caroline.
Benedict sized her up and looked back at Peter. "This is…?"
"She’s the personnel manager of Vesper Corporation, Caroline Ford," Peter introduced her to Benedict
with a smile. "As well as your femalepanion of the dinner party tonight."
"Well, I see." Benedict nodded, a surge of desire flickering in his eyes as he looked at Caroline.
Caroline was a pretty girl. Now that she put on beautiful makeup and dressed herself in a white form-
fitting designer dress, she looked more stunning, and even caught the attention of Benedict, the
notorious lover of women.
Benedict thought to himself. This woman was no match for Lydia, but there was no harm in ying with
her.
"Hello, Mr. Hudson, my name is Caroline Ford. Please call me Caroline if you don’t mind," Caroline
introduced herself, blushing. She cast an affectionate look at Benedict.
This morning, Peter went to Caroline personally, telling her that there would be an important dinner
party this evening, and that the owner of International Commerce Center would also show up. He
asked her to go back home to dress up. If she caught that man’s attention, she might marry into a
distinguished family.
So it should be the man in front of her. He was young, wealthy, and also came from a famous family,
which was exactly the type of man Caroline liked.
Benedict slid his arm around Caroline’s waist and shot a satisfied nce at Peter. "It’s very thoughtful
of you, Mr. Lawson."
"My pleasure," Peter replied at once, but he still asked doubtfully, "I heard from my cousin that you’re
the owner of International Commerce Center?"
Benedict darted a weird look at Peter. He had used to be, but not now. However, Benedict still gave a
nod.
Peter’s face lit up immediately. Seemingly, the information provided by Kate was right, and he became
even more respectful to Benedict. "Since you’re here in Emerdale, please stay for a few more days so
that I can show you around."
Hearing that, Benedict put on a serious face at once and got straight to the point. "Peter, it’s kind of
you, but I came to Emerdale this time to talk over the cooperation project with your sister."
Peter promised immediately, "Don’t worry. I’ll tell her about it. Just feel reassured to delegate some
projects you’re in charge of to us Vesper Corporation."
Benedict thought Peter was referring to some small projects of his family business’, so he nodded with
a smile. "Of course."
Overjoyed, Peter told Caroline at once, "Caroline, take good care of Mr. Hudson. Remember to take
Mr. Hudson to Riverside Club at 6.30 pm."
Caroline was thrilled, but she still put on a reserved look. "Yes, boss."
