Chapter 236 On the Eve of Wedding


    “Take her away?”


    Leo looked at Summer in astonishment. He never expected she was trying to convey such message to


    him by leading him to the hotel room.


    Soon, Leo showed deep eyes and asked, “Why? You are Benedict’s mother, right?”


    Summer was supposed to be happy on her son’s wedding day. However, Leo couldn’t sense any joy on


    her face, instead, he could only find Summer was carrying a solemn expression.


    It seemed that Benedict’s marriage was the end of the world.


    Summer nodded and then remarked worriedly, “As Benedict’s mother, I know his temperament quite


    well and don’t want him to harm other girls.”


    “What do you mean?”


    Leo showed a serious look and asked.


    “Do you know the Hudson family’s scandal?”


    Leo nodded.


    Every family had their own scandal, so did the Hudson family. Leo remembered Benedict was his


    mother’s illegitimate child with other men. If not for the Hudson family’s dignity in the public, Summer


    would be killed by Ewan.


    Summer showed a bitter smile and remarked, “I don’t love Ewan at all. I am just an ordinary girl before


    marrying into the Hudson family. I only looked more beautiful than other girls.”


    Summer’s expression became tough when recalling the past.


    She didn’t speak highly of her beauty. Although she was near her fifties, she still had a good figure and


    tense skin. Most people would believe it if she told others she was thirty years old. It could be told that


    she was a gorgeous woman when she was young.


    “Ewan liked me and kidnapped me to the Hudson family. He imprisoned me for more than a year.


    During that year, he adopted a range of methods to torture me in order to let me fall in love with him. In


    the end, I couldn’t bear the suffering and agreed his proposal.”


    “I don’t think it’s a big think to marry someone I don’t love at all. I thought our marriage would end my


    endless suffering. However, the reality proved I was wrong.”


    Summer showed a miserable look, saying, “My family name is not Hudson. After we got married, Ewan


    forced me to change my family name. If Caroline married to Hudson family, she would also be forced to


    change her family name.”


    “It’s not a big deal. The worse thing is their family’s domestic violence. I was beaten over a hundred


    times during the past thirty years.”


    Summer then rolled up her sleeve to present the dotted bruises on her arm to Leo.


    “That’s only a tip of the iceberg. I still have more bruises on my body.” Her calm expression conveyed


    the fact that she already took it as a normal thing.


    Leo’s expressionpletely changed. He couldn’t help asking, “Have you ever thought about running


    away?”


    “Of course, I have. However, it doesn’t work at all.”


    Summer shook her head and replied, “I will still be captured and get beaten. There is no use to call the


    police either. The police won’t mind my business under the Hudson family’s great power.”


    Leo remained silence but felt extremely angry in his heart.


    He thought Benedict beat Caroline out of impulse. Now it seemed he inherited domestic violence from


    his family line.


    All members in the Hudson family were nerds.


    If Caroline really married into the Hudson family, she would only suffer from endless torture.


    “I was forced to depart with my true love by Ewan. However, my love didn’t abandon me. After I got


    married, he came for me several times and wanted to run away with me. In the end, he got captured by


    Ewan.”


    Summer then continued in a low voice, “Ewan killed my love in front of me, but what he didn’t expect


    was that I was already carrying with my love’s child at that time.”


    “I didn’t tell him about the baby and delivered Benedict on my own. I had raised him for several months


    until I was found by Ewan. At first, he wanted to throw Benedict on the ground to kill him. I threatened


    him with my life. That was how I finally saved my baby.”


    “However, Ewan still separate me and Benedict in different ces to imprison us. During that time, he


    was the one who took care of Benedict alone. It was good that Benedict was a smart boypared


    with Marcel. That was why Ewan gave up to kill him for the greater good.”


    Leo showed a cold expression. Parenting was really important. Benedict was raised up by Ewan and


    his character would also be infected by him under such environment.


    “Do you know why I told you to take Caroline away?”


    Summer’s expression became anxious, saying, “I don’t want more innocent girls to suffer.”


    Leo suddenly felt respectful for the woman in front of him.


    Being a girl meant you were the weaker side, while being a mother meant you had to be tough.


    Summer was a good mother and also a kind person. However, this world really treated her unfairly.


    Leo nodded and responded, “Thank you for telling me this.”


    Summer immediately stood up and remarked, “You’d better hurry.


    Take Caroline away right now!”


    “I will arrange a maid of the same figure with Caroline to substitute her. You can take her away via this


    chance!”


    Leo showed a calm look to Summer and suddenly asked, “What about you?”


    It was a feasible n. However, it would only do good for Caroline instead of Summer herself.


    Summer shook her head and looked calm, replying, “I can not leave. It’s already a good thing for


    Caroline to escape. I am Ewan’s wife and he won’t do anything to me even if he finds out the truth.”


    “He will kill you.” Leo showed her a deep look.


    “Let him do so.”


    Summer didn’t seem to care about her life at all. She remarked, “It’s a relief to die after getting through


    such a miserable life.”


    Leo remained silence for a while. He then shook his head and refused her suggestion, saying, “I am


    sorry. I can’t ept this n.”


    “Why?” Summer asked in an astonished look.


    “There are two ws in this ce.”


    Leo reached out two fingers and counted, “The first thing is that you have decided to let a maid of


    simr figure with Caroline to substitute her, but what about the maid’s safety?”


    “Then second thing is about your own safety. The Hudson family will definitely find in the future that


    you’re the one behind the scene.”


    “Well…”


    Summer seemed to be in a dilemma.


    To carry out this n, she had never thought she and the maid could live.


    “I ept your good suggestion, but I refuse to carry out your n.”


    Leo showed a serious look and remarked, “Everyone has suffered. The maid’s life is not humbler


    Summer showed Leo a gentle look and remarked, “I have noticed you when you had a conflict with the


    Stewart family and the Hamilton family. I didn’t take you wrong. You’re really a righteous man.”


    Leo simply smiled without reply.


    Soon, Summer frowned tightly and asked, “However, how can we save Caroline if we don’t carry out


    this n?”


    “Don’t worry. I will ruin this wedding in my own way.”


    Leo looked out on the darker night. A sense of coldness raised in his deep eyes.


    Summer was full of concern and asked, “What can you do? Not only all bodyguards from the Hudson


    family are around, there are lots of other prestigious families in City J and Emerdale. It’s hard for you to

    get out.”


    “Who have told you I will break by force?”


    Leo carried a confident smile and noted, “After tonight, the Hudson family is gone and you will be free.”


    After saying this, he unlocked the door and strode outside.
