Chapter 206 Going Crazy
After hanging up the phone, Reba was about to go out with the stone. But she got caught by
Caroline.
“Mom, have you finished? I want it back.”
Reba was stunned. She hurried to put it into her pocket, “It’s just a stone. It’s worth nothing. I gotta
go. I will be back soon.”
After saying that, she walked pass Caroline and was about to leave.
But Caroline stopped in her font again. She insisted firmly, “No. Give me back the stone!”
Reba was irritated. She yelled at Caroline, “Stop annoying me! You’ve got so many gifts today! Just
give me the stone!”
“It’s a gift from Leo!”
Caroline soon noticed her intention—she actually wanted to take away the stone.
At the thought of that, Caroline was startled with her eyes wide open. She started at her mom with
great disbelief.
“I didn’t expect that wimp to be so lucky enough to bump into this priceless stone.” Reba sneered.
She then added boldly, “Since he has offered it to you as a gift, it also belongs to our family. As your
mother, I have the right to im your stuff. What’s wrong with my decision to trade it for money?”
Reba took it for granted even though she was stealing from her own daughter. Caroline was
rendered stunned, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”
“That’s who I am!”
Reba still deemed it nothing wrong. She acted unashamedly, “Caroline, you should learn to
appreciate my decision. Now I am telling you the truth—money will always be the only thing you need.
If it weren’t because of me, you would have never been admitted to the title of ‘Mrs. Hudson’. But I can’t
believe that you appear to be so ungrateful that you even try to loot a piece of stone from me! I can’t
imagine that’s how my girl treats me!”
Caroline was rendered speechless. She couldn’t help trembling all over with her head down while biting
her own lips.
She suddenly recalled the past, during which she hadmitted a lot of stupid and shameful
wrongdoings under the instigation of her mom, though also partly driven by her greed. That was what
brought up the alienation between her and Leo, which even grew into hostility as time went by.
When she realized her fault at this moment, it was toote to make up for the fact that now she had
be a stranger to him.
Caroline was overwhelmed with heartrending pain every time she realized that it was she herself who
pushed Leo away—a man who once entrusted his true feelings to her.
“Mom, you can have all the gifts from the guests today but except for this stone. Please, give it back to
me, okay?” Caroline grabbed her arms to beg. Tears welled up in her bloodshot eyes.
She knew her mom well, who could only be convinced by imploration.
Reba stared at her, feeling incredible because of the way she implored. She still remembered how
much Caroline once hated Leo. But now she had fallen into such a sudden change.
However, she still showed no room topromise. She grabbed her pocket hard, in which there kept
the stone, “Listen! That’s impossible! Just forget about it.”
“The stone is worth more than ten million, totally overtaking the value of all gifts! I have raised you
since you were born. Now it’s time for return. And it’s just a stone!”
“But that’s the only thing he left me.” Said Caroline, gritting and trembling.
Not until then did Reba understand why Caroline tried so hard to dig for the stone with bare hands.
The priceless value never mattered to her. Instead, it was because it was the gift from Leo.
Even if it were a piece of simple weed, she would treasure it from the bottom of her heart.
Reba suddenly pped hard on Caroline’s face. The p was so strong that a trace of blood went
down the corner of her mouth.
Reba red at her viciously, shouting, “You bitch! Do you know you almost offended Mr. Hudson
today?”
Caroline slumped on the ground, with hair dishevelled. Blood continuously dropped off from her mouth.
But Reba simply turned a blind eye to it. She kept yelling crazily, “If he dumped you, have you ever
imagined the impact you might bring to us? If anything ridiculous like that ever happens again, I will
definitely kill you before any punishment from Mr. Hudson.”
Slumping on the ground still, Caroline looked depressed. She gently wiped off the blood from the
corner of her mouth. Then she raised up her head to look at Reba, “So my marriage is just a tool
you want to manipte so as to drive profit for the family, right?”
Now she showed no intention to implore anymore. Instead, she looked weirdly calm.
However, her calmness was a mere cover-up of her growing madness.
Reba turned to be sulky. She turned around to question, “If that’s not the case, what’s the point for
me to bring you up? I even expect that coward to please Kate. But he actually ran away at the wedding
eve! You’d better behave yourself and stop any bad idea!”
Caroline suddenly let out a silent smile. While smiling, she started to reveal sudden madness in her
eyes.
“Give me back the stone!” Caroline screamed madly, pounced on Reba and reached out her hand
to grab the stone from hers.
“Ahhh, what are you doing?”
Reba was frightened and irritated. She struggled to push Caroline away.
However, Caroline looked like an outrageous panther. She grabbed Reba’s hair and suddenly gave
it a hard tug downwards, which drew off a handful of her hair. Reba felt so pain that she fell down,
screamed and rolled over on the ground.
The stone then ran out of her pocket.
Caroline hurried to pick it up as if she imed back her greatest fortune. Then she let go of Reba
and stood up again, gasping while looking at her.
Reba still slumped onto the ground, dishevelled.
Anger crawled up her face. She even failed to organize smooth words because of madness, “How…
how dare you attack me!”
“Mom, sorry, I was trying to get back what belongs to me.” Caroline apologized, looking a bit softened.
“You don’t deserve to be my daughter!” Reba shouted out loud with her vicious eyes fixed on
Caroline.
“Get out of the family! Don’t evere back again!”
“What happened?”
Those in the second floor were all alert because of the noise. William, Patricia, and Samuel all went
down stairs.
Reba red at Caroline with hatred. While Caroline bit her lips hard with eyes full of tears, “Mom,
you’ve gone too far.”
With rage still burning, Reba hurried to say when seeing everyone was approaching, “Guys,e
over here! My daughter actually beat me! You rude, ungrateful bastard!”
After cursing, she slumped still to feign crying out loud.
“I gotta go out to chill out.” Said Caroline calmly. She then ran into the rain without taking an umbre.
Meanwhile, Benedict was sitting on a couch in a vi, talking to his father, Ewan Hudson, on the phone.
“Dad, who’s the powerful one behind the Fords? I can’t find it.” He asked.
Ewan sighed, sounding distraught, “Now it’s getting harder for us to explore our market in Emerdale.
n and his fellows still try to stop us from getting into the market.”
“Bastard!” Benedict cursed solemnly.
“Figure out who’s the powerful one behind the Fords ASAP! Only then could we thrive again!”
“Yes, father!”
When Benedict was about to hang up the phone, Ewan suddenly continued, “It seems that your brother
has arrived in Emerdale…”
“Well…”
Benedict smiled when hearing his brother.
Actually, Ewan had two sons—a legitimate one and a love child of his wife. While Benedict was the
As for his real son, he got expelled after his legs were broken by Benedict.
Ewan said with husky voice, “Bring him back when it’s time. He has suffered enough.”
“Okay, dad.”
After hanging up, Benedict bore a trace of murderous look. But he still said to his men, “Find out
Marcel’s whereabouts.”
“Yes, sir.”

His men appeared to be effective. Soon, they got something.
“Sir, Marcel is now in a club named Crown Bar.”
Benedict squinted, “I remember it’s owned by Frank, right?”
“Yes.”
His men continued to report, “Besides, Miss Caroline Ford, your fiancée, is also there.”
Hearing that, Benedict jumped up. He suddenly dropped the ss of wine on the ground, which
smashed into pieces.
