Chapter 280 The Ford Family’s Secret
Hearing the cold and indifferent words, the smile on Reba’s face disappeared instantly. She looked
at Leo who walked in front of her in disbelief.
His eyes were very indifferent. The sharp scissors were like toys in his eyes. He didn’t even look at it
and his eyes kept staring at Reba.
“Leo?!”
She screamed as if she had seen a demon. She took a step back subconsciously. She almost lost the
scissors in her hands.
Leo would stand up against her. It was really beyond her expectations.
In her opinion, what made Leo survive up to now was all due to Lydia. How could a live-in son-inw of
the low ss have any right to speak?
Therefore, she thought as long as she sessfully persuaded Lydia by taking advantage of her
kindness andpassion, the problem would be solved soon.
Sometimes, for the sake of advancing, it was better to retreat. Especially when dealing with someone
with that as high-powered as Lydia.
Lydia must be fear of trouble. Therefore, as long as it would not develop into big trouble, she would
To her surprise, Leo came out at the critical moment.
“Why don’t you kill yourself right now??”
Leo nced at the scissors coldly, and smiled sarcastically, “Why don’t you do it?”
“Shut up!”
Reba became annoyed and angry, “How can you, a live-in son-inw with no status, have the right
to speak?”
Leo didn’t care at all, and the smile on his face became more and more sarcastic, “Reba, I used to
think that you were very smart, but you were just on the wrong side. Now it seems that you are not
smart at all.”
Reba’s heart jolted instantly. Her eyes were slightly cold, “What do you mean?”
Leo sneered, “I didn’t expect that you would force me and Lydia to divorce today.”
“I used to think that you were Caroline’s biological mother, so I made excuses for you many times.
However, you didn’t know how to repent and you infuriated me again and again. I was wondering how
to deal with you. Now you’re threatening us with suicide. It’s just in time. I’m too d to see that!”
Hearing that, Reba was dumbfounded. It turned out that her good n was very stupid.
However, she was still not reconciled. She couldn’t help but ask, “I am Caroline’s mother. Can you bear
me to die because of you? Will your conscience not hurt?”
“Why can’t I bear it?”
Leo asked strangely, “You have tried to kill me many times. All will be finished if you are dead!”
“Leo, you----”
Reba was so angry with Leo. She couldn’t say a word, only looked at him fiercely.
“Well. Do it quickly, don’t waste everyone’s time.”
Leo said calmly, “To make it clear, I tell you, Lydia and I will not divorce. We are willing to give birth to a
second child, and we, the family of four will live happily. As for your fate, you should know that
yourself.”
“However, you can rest assured that after you died, I will return your corpse to the Ford family. I will tell
them that you can’t threaten me by taking your own life. Can you imagine whether Jayden would spit
out mouthful blood and be shocked to death?”
“Leo, shut up...”
Reba was trembling with anger.
She even couldn’t speak well. It seemed that she could not wait to devour Leo.
She began to question herself, why did shee up with such a stupid n to threaten Leo with her
own life?
How could she kill herself? She just yed a drama to force Lydia topromise. However, Leo urged
her to suicide now. She was caught in a dilemma.
“Leo, that’s enough. Stop talking.”
William stood aside and persuaded Leo nervously. In such a situation, he worried that Reba would
However, it seemed that Leo hadn’t heard his words. Leo continued to say tonelessly, “If you want to
y, just y it realistically. Suicide with scissors is too childish.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
There was sarcasm on Leo’s face, “You can jump off the top floor of the International Commerce
Center, and it will attract a lot of people’s attention. But you will have no bones left. Your head will fall
into a pool of mud.”
Reba shivered with fright.
Leo continued, “You can also hang yourself with a rope. You will feel the feeling of suffocation. Your
eyeballs will pop out and your tongue will stick out like a hanged ghost.”
Reba looked even more frightened and swallowed saliva hard.
“Of course, if you’re afraid of pain, you can try this medicine.”
Leo smiled and took out a white pill, “This is thetest chemical poison developed in our country. It is
colorless and odorless, and it tastes just like candy. But if you swallow it for two minutes, you will
experience breathing difficulties and bleeding from the nose and mouth. After ten minutes, all the
organs in your body will be exhausted at the same time, and the toxin will spread to all corners of your
body.”
“You will have ck blooding out of your eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, but you will be already
dead by then, so you won’t feel any pain.”
“How about it? Do you want to try it?”
Leo handed the white pill to Reba.
Reba stared nkly at the pill for three seconds. Then she suddenly screamed and pushed Leo’s
hand away. She sat down on the ground in a daze. Her legs were trembling with fright.
Leo walked over with an indifferent expression and handed the pill to Reba, “Eat it.”
“No, no, I won’t eat...”
Reba shivered, but she refused to take the pill.
“Eat it.”
Seeing that Reba refused to take the pill, Leo suddenly shouted, “Eat it!”
“Oh god----”
Reba was terribly frightened by Leo’s roar. She looked at Leo in horror, motionless.
This scene happened to be seen by Caroline who came out of the room. Her eyes widened in surprise
instantly.
Her memory was still stuck on the scene that Reba domineeringly threatened Lydia to divorce Leo
with scissors. She couldn’t understand why Reba was sprawling in front of Leo before long.
“I was wrong. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die...”
Reba cried and shouted, “I just want to scare Lydia, so that she can divorce you.”
At that time, everyone suddenly realized Reba’s intention. They looked at Reba with more
contempt.
“If you don’t have the consciousness of death, don’t say anything about death.”
Leo coldly said these words, and then put the pill in his palm into his mouth.

“Leo, don’t----”
Lydia had heard Leo’s words. When she saw Leo take the white pill, her face turned pale.
Leo smiled calmly, “Don’t worry. It’s just a mint-vored candy for Emilia.”
Only then did everyone realize that Leo only used a colorless and odorless mint candy to frighten
Reba and make her tell the truth.
It proved how well that Leo grasped the weakness of human nature.
“Where’s Emilia?”
Leo turned to look at Caroline.
“She’s already asleep.”
After finishing speaking, Caroline held the sleeping Emilia gently from the room.
Leo and Lydia werepletely relieved.
They were not afraid of Reba. They were afraid that Reba’s fierceness with scissors will leave a
psychological shadow on Emilia who was only a child.
“Dad, we’re leaving now first. We’lle back for dinner another day.”
“Okay. I’m really sorry today.”
William sent Leo, Lydia and Emilia away. Then he returned to the room.
Looking at Reba who was still lying on the ground, his face became quite sullen.
“Stand up!” He looked at Reba and shouted.
Reba stood up tremblingly with shaking knees. She grabbed William’s sleeves, crying and begging,
“William, we have been married for more than 20 years. I beg you, let Leo divorce that woman. If they
don’t divorce, there will be no ce for me in this family!”
Caroline, who was beside, widened her eyes, “Mom, what are you talking about? Why there will be no
ce for you in this family if Leo and Lydia don’t divorce?”
“Caroline, you don’t know, Lydia is----”
“Reba!”
Reba was about to say something when William suddenly shouted. Then he pped her face
heavily.
“Caroline, go back to the room first. I have something to tell your mother.”
This sentence was said to Caroline. But from beginning to end, William’s eyes never left Reba’s
eyes.
Caroline vaguely felt that her parents had some secrets hidden from her, so she wanted to ask.
However, William’s ghastly pale face made her give up the idea and went upstairs.
William took Reba to the outside of the yard and pressed her against the wall with a sullen face.
“Didn’t you promise me that you would never tell this secret?” lightnoveldaily
