Chapter 542 Don’t You ever Think of Marrying into our Family
"Let go!" Lydia growled through gritted teeth, simmering with rage.
Watching this scene, Leo heaved a sigh in his mind.
If Lydia hadn’t known about her real origin, she might not have hated them so much.
But the problem was, she had known it.
Karl wasn’t her biological father at all, but William was.
Lydia was supposed to be an ordinary woman, but the Henderson family had to maintain their dignity,
so they stole her from her biological father.
Driven away from Valenham, William left his hometown and came to Emerdale.
Lydia’s biological mother got ill shortly after she left Valenham and died soon in Emerdale.
However, Lydia had been kept in the dark all the time. She med Karl for everything.
As the head of the Henderson family, Karl didn’t do anything wrong, but in Lydia’s view, he was her
enemy, as well as the culprit who had killed her mother.
Therefore, not only hadn’t the disputes been settled, but there were more misunderstandings between
them.
Naturally, Lydia wouldn’t treat them with kindness when she met them now.
Maisy said, "Calm down, Lydia. Open the door. Your dad just wants to see you guys."
Lydia kept pushing the door, furious. "Let go. I won’t take responsibility for it if your fingers are broken."
Karl said in a steady voice, "Try it."
Lydia was shocked to hear that at first, but a momentter, she got even angrier and kept pushing the
door hard, trying to break Karl’s fingers.
Meanwhile, Karl shoved the door hard with his fingers.
Bang!
The door sprang back, swinging wildly.
"Ah!"
Lydia, who knew nothing about martial arts, screamed and almost fell to the floor, her hand numb with
pain.
Leo steadied her at the same time, his eyes sullen.
He could tell Karl was a strong martial artist himself.
However, Lydia was his pregnant wife, and she couldn’t be frightened. Even if Karl would be his father-
inw, Leo wouldn’t allow him to do anything to hurt his wife.
Now that the door was open, Karl and Maisy came in.
Karl growled sternly, "You actually wanted to shut the door against us. Do you want to cut all ties with
us?"
Truly, Karl indulged Lydia, but that didn’t mean she could act like a spoiled brat.
Maisy was also angry at Lydia, but she didn’t dare to show it in front of Karl. She said to Lydia at once,
"Lydia, apologize to your father and he’ll be fine."
Lydia got up with Leo’s help and sneered. "Cut all ties? We aren’t even rted to begin with. How can I
cut all ties with you?"
"What did you say?"
Both Karl and Maisy were astonished to hear that, and Karl turned livid gradually. Maisy looked panic-
stricken, but she was sneering inside.
Lydia was trying Karl’s patience.
"Seems that you’ve known everything."
But the next moment, the anger on Karl’s face was reced by peace.
"I’ve known everything. You are not my father. Don’t control me anymore!"
Lydia growled with rage, and her voice sounded hurt.
Karl shook his head. "Even if you’ve known what happened 20 years ago, you’re still the eldestdy of
the Henderson family, as well as my eldest daughter. It’s not something you can change."
"Exactly, Lydia. Karl went too far back then, but he did so for the family. Besides, he has been making
amends for it these years."
Maisy seemed to be trying to make Lydia change her mind, but in fact, she was provoking her.
"You were an ordinary girl, but you became thedy of the Henderson family because of Karl. So many
people want to be you, but they never can. How can you me Karl instead of being grateful to him?
You’re so heartless."
"Shut up, you bitch. You have no right to talk here!" Lydia snapped at Maisy. "I never wanted to be the
Your behavior disgusts me. Now, get out of my room!"
Stunned to see Lydia reacting this way, Maisy turned to Karl. "Karl, she’s gone too far. I tried to change
her mind, but she actually shouted at me!"
"Enough!" Karl roared. "I’ve already made amends for it, but I never knew you’re such an ungrateful
child! And you gave birth to that loser’s baby? I told you to have an abortion. Have I done anything
wrong?
"Even if you’ve known your origin, you’ll still be thedy of the Henderson family since you’ve yed
that role for over 20 years! Anyone who reveals that secret will die, and it also applies to you, get it?"
Karl snarled.
"I thought you were a reasonable woman. I thought you wouldn’t tell anyone about it even if you knew
the truth. Seems that I’ve been too generous to you these years. I’ll give you a lesson today, and teach
you how you should treat your parents!"
Karl raised his hand to give a p across Lydia’s face.
Maisy was excited to watch this scene, but she didn’t show it on her face. Lydia had looked down upon
her for years, and Maisy had been looking forward to this day.
Karl’s hand was quick. Before Lydia could react, she was already pped.
There came a crisp sound as a figure dashed in front of Lydia and grabbed Karl’s wrist.
"Leo!"
Lydia came to her senses, tears streaming down her face.
Karl looked sternly at Leo and growled, "How dare you stop me from educating my daughter? Get out
of my way!"
Leo didn’t move, but his eyes grew cold.
"Even if you’re her father, you can’t p her. I’m being generous and kind to you now. Don’t push your
luck," Leo said menacingly.
The aura he was exuding was even more overwhelming than Karl’s.
Maisy found this scene incredible, but the next moment, she roared angrily, "How… How dare you stop
your future father-inw! Don’t you ever think of marrying into our family in the future!"
Leo threw a cold nce at Maisy, who shrank back immediately as if she just took a hit.
"You’re wrong. I won’t marry into the Henderson family, but the Henderson family will submit
themselves to me!" Leo said in a grim voice slowly.
