Supreme Mars

Chapter 319 The Father-in-law And The Son-in-law

The old man was the housekeeper of this family. Knowing that, Leo's face changed and he felt a bit

nervous.

Lydia's face also changed. She grabbed Leo's arms and said, "I'll go with you!"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Miss, Master said he wanted o meet Mr. Chone alone."

Lydia raised her eyebrows and wanted to argue, but Leo shook his head at her and gave her a

reassuring look. "I'll be fine."

He said as he strode into the manor with the housekeeper.

Lydia stood there with a worried look. She frowned because she needed to prepare for the worst, given

how cruel the reality was.

Marie gently held Lydia's arms and consoled her, "Don't overthink it, Lydia. You know how much Dad

likes you. Maybe he called Leo in to give you his blessing."

Lydia hesitated and asked tentatively, "Really?"

"Just look on the bright side. Your life's already bitter enough; you should smile at it. Don't always wear

that wry face."

Lydia was amused by Marie's words. "You're making fun of me again!"

They went back to their rooms, talking and laughing; however, Elena was wearing a serious face.

According to what she knew about the man, this meeting might not be that simple.

Leo followed the housekeeper and walked into a study.

"He's there."

The housekeeper excused himself after a smile.

Leo stood alone in front of the study door, hesitant to knock it.

Although he was the Commander of Wyverns of Pompeii, he still had hesitated for quite a while before

knocking at the door.

Meeting the parents of their beloved ones is the life experience that everyone would have. It was

critical to please the future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

This meeting wasn't going to be a friendly chat, because of what had happened to Lydia.

Either the class gap or pregnancy out of wedlock would be enough for Karl to get rid of Leo.

Leo took a deep breath and gradually calmed his inner tension. Then he knocked at the door.

"The door's open!"

Karl's iconic calm voice came from inside.

Leo pushed the door open and walked in. Karl was sitting upright on a court chair, as if he were waiting

for Leo to come. As soon as Leo came in, his sharp eyes were fixed on him.

Seeing Karl's eyes, Leo took a deep breath and forced a polite smile to greet him.

Karl seemed to have ignored Leo's politeness. He raised his eyelids and checked Leo from head to

toe. "This meeting is a bit later than I expected."

Leo felt confused upon hearing that.

Leo knew what Karl was implying.

When the killer almost assassinated Lydia, Karl was enraged and wanted to go to Emerdale, but Elena

stopped him.

Thinking of that, Leo pursed his lips and relaxed for a bit. "Better later than never, I guess."

Karl shook his head and grinned a thin smile. "Don't get me wrong. I mean, we should've met five years

ago."

Leo's eyes suddenly grew thoughtful, and he asked coldly,

"You knew Lydia lived in misery five years ago, so how could you let your family murder our baby?"

The vibe of extreme chill burst out of Leo, which Karl only ignored. He said, "Sometimes I need to think

for the whole family, because I'm the patriarch."

That answer made Leo even more murderous. Now he finally understood what had happened.

When Lydia had Emilia five years ago, she got involved in quite a few car accidents that were set to

miscarry her.

Karl had been aware of all of them, but he didn't stop those from happening; actually, he acquiesced.

Perhaps in his eyes, Emilia was too filthy to be born.

"Now I know why Lydia hates you so much."

Leo said coldly, "Does family honor weigh more than the life of your daughter?"

Karl didn't reply, or rather, he ignored that question. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Moments later, Karl suddenly laughed.

"I don't have any other purpose in calling you here; I just need you to promise me one thing."

There was a smile at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was as flat as a casual chat.

"Stay away from Lydia."

Leo's smiling face stiffened.

He had thought that the conversation with Karl wouldn't be a pleasant one, but he didn't expect Karl to

be so blunt. He skipped all the pleasantries and directly told Leo to stay away from Lydia.

Karl added, "Don't get me wrong, you don't need to get divorced, because your marriage was

registered in Emerdale, and you even held your wedding there. That doesn't count to me."

Leo was silent for a long while. After that, he raised his eyes and smiled brightly. "I'm sorry, I can't do

that."

He understood that Karl wasn't talking to him as the head of the Henderson family, but as Lydia's

father.

That was all about it.

The father just made a request which may be reasonable for himself, but for Leo, that was to deprive

him of the only belief in living in the world.

After hearing Leo's answer, Karl's eyes got narrower and narrower. Then he stood up from the court

chair.

The pressure on Leo had doubled. Leo didn't feel it much when Karl was sitting. Now that he had stood

up, Leo found in surprise that the guy was at least 1.85m tall!

"You don't have the right to say no."

He looked at Leo and said with a calm voice in which Leo could smell endless murderous intent.

"Really?"

Now that Karl was so ruthless, Leo had no need to show excessive kindness. He sneered and said,

"How do you know that I have no right to say no? Perhaps in my eyes, the royal families in County YD

were no better than ants and worms."

Karl smiled.

He smiled very warmly, with the mysterious taste unique to mature men, like a piece of carved jade.

"Do you really think you're that powerful? What made you so confident to say that?"

"Am I not supposed to say that?"

Leo also smiled, but his smile was cold.

The smile on Karl's face faded little by little. He asked, "You're confident because you're physically

powerful, but what else do you have besides that?"

Phew...

As soon as Karl spoke, a chilly wind blew by the window. As the leaves rustled, several shadows

passed by the window.

Leo narrowed his eyes and focused. Then he looked out of the study out of a conditioned reflex.

A condensed killing intent quietly flowed in the air and locked the study from all directions.

There were ten more shadows on the tree outside, all giving out a powerful aura. They were all staring

at Leo.

For the first time, Leo looked concerned.

They were black warriors, each with the strength to rival Nadine.

There might be a slight gap between them and Nadine, but the gap was slim.

"Are you still as confident as just now?"

Karl sat back in his seat again and looked at Leo coldly. "You don't deserve my daughter!"
