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 expression completely 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 places to imprison us. During that time, he
was the one who took care of Benedict alone. It was good that Benedict was a smart boy compared
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 plan. 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 accept this plan.”
“Why?” Summer asked in an astonished look.
“There are two flaws in this place.”
Leo reached out two fingers and counted, “The first thing is that you have decided to let a maid of
similar 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 plan, she had never thought she and the maid could live.
“I accept your good suggestion, but I refuse to carry out your plan.”
Leo showed a serious look and remarked, “Everyone has suffered. The maid’s life is not humbler
compared with a wealthy lady.”
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 plan?”
“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.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“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.
