"Marcel?"
Leo's eyes focused when hearing Nadine mentioning that name.
He remembered this name very well.
The guy was the second young master of the Hudson family.
Benedict was the child of Summer Hudson and her real lover.
Marcel, on the other hand, was the kid that Ewan forced Summer to have. He's the real heir of the Hudson family.
Benedict and Marcel had fought against each other openly and secretly for decades, just to get the position of their family patriarch.
To everyone's surprise, Benedict, the bastard, won the battle eventually. Marcel lost the chance to be the family patriarch.
The winner took all. Benedict had no pity for the loser at all, although the loser was his half-brother.
He snapped one of Marcel's legs and kicked him out of the family.
Marcel had held the grudges, and he didn't show up until Caroline showed up and was going to marry Benedict. Marcel wanted to get back at Benedict by stealing Caroline away from him.
When the Hudson family collapsed, Marcel wasn't there.
Leo hadn't heard anything about Marcel for quite a long while.
"So you're suspecting him?"
Nadine shook her head and said, "I've got no solid proof saying that it was Marcel, but I'm sure it was either him or other survivors of the Hudson family."
"This is the detailed information of other members of the Hudson family."
Nadine handed over a report.
Leo read it carefully.
It turned out that most of them had left Hopkins Metropolis for other cities in Sallton, Winham, and New Queensland. Marcel was the only one living in Hopkins Metropolis now.
Moreover, he had shown up in Emerdale long ago.
Leo closed the information report book and said, "We can only know that Marcel is very suspicious of this report, but I'm not sure if it was him. Send someone to continue the investigation."
After staying in Hopkins Metropolis for another two days, Lydia took Emilia back to Emerdale.
Before Lydia left, Leo told Lydia to watch out when he was not around.
Leo left Zakariya and Luna in Emerdale in order to protect Lydia. Wallace's Martial Arts Association was also there standing by.
But even so, he still felt uneasy.
Lydia beamed, "Why are you feeling so tense?"
She peeled an apple and made the peel very long. Then she said to Leo, "See the apple skin? If you cheated on me, even at the very least, I would peel you like this apple."
Leo found this as amusing as scaring. He was sure Lydia was referring to what was between her and Sharon.
Leo had got another room for Sharon. They hadn't slept together.
After seeing Lydia and Emilia off, Leo went to the company's Hopkins Metropolis branch with Irene and Caroline.
The headquarters had sent a core team to assist in developing the branch company in Hopkins Metropolis.
Moreover, with the help of the J Group, the Hopkins Metropolis branch was far ahead of other local companies in Hopkins Metropolis.
During that period, Sharon once wanted to leave and look for Dominic, but Leo stopped her.
"Stay here. I will look for Dominic for you."
Leo said to Sharon severely.
He was afraid Sharon would meet Phantom's people again.
Moreover, it was very likely that the people in their organization were not human beings.
"Leo, can I take a few days off? I want to visit my godmother."
Caroline sent a report to Leo.
Caroline was in Hopkins Metropolis mainly for Summer.
However, she had been busy with her work and had no time to visit Summer since she was here. She felt so sorry for that.
Leo could understand that. He agreed, "I'll go with you. I need to drop by, too."
He was still thinking about Marcel. If Marcel was still in Hopkins Metropolis, he would definitely visit Summer.
After all, Summer was Marcel's mother.
Although Caroline was surprised, she did not refuse Leo's request.
They bought some gifts and went to the hospital where Summer worked, only to be told that Summer wasn't on duty today.
Lucky for them, the guy told them Summer's address.
After the Hudson family collapsed, Summer donated all the money to charity.
Summer quickly came over to mediate. "Caroline, Marcel is my son. He had been living with me after the Hudson family collapsed."
"You lived together now?"
Caroline was stunned when she heard that. Then she looked at Marcel with a vigilant face.
Leo also narrowed his eyes and checked Marcel from head to toe.
Summer's two sons were both dangerous people with twisted minds.
Marcel grinned a light smile and said, "I know you didn't like me, and I hated you, too, but the past is past."
"The Hudson family has been destroyed. I am no longer the young master, and my mother wasn't Mrs. Hudson anymore. We're just an ordinary family."
Marcel's words surprised Leo and Caroline.
They couldn't believe that the guy seemed to have mended his way.
Marcel looked at Caroline and said, "If you still hate me because of what happened in the bar, I can apologize to you."
"I'm sorry."
Marcel bowed to Caroline.
"No, there's no need. Please..."
Caroline still hadn't gotten used to how Marcel acted now. She hurriedly helped Marcel to stand straight.
Summer was delighted to see them forgiving each other. She asked the two to sit down.
"Have a seat. Dinner will be ready very soon."
"Mom, let me help you in the kitchen."
Marcel didn't want to stay in the same room with Leo and Caroline. He limped into the kitchen with his cane.
Caroline stood there, dumbfounded, as if she had seen a ghost. After quite a while, she looked back and asked Leo, "Has he really changed?"
She really couldn't imagine that the Marcel she saw today was the same guy she saw at the bar that night.
"I suppose."
Leo said with a smile and took a sip of water.
When he turned over to look at Marcel's back in the kitchen, he narrowed his eyes.
This might not be as simple as they thought.
