Supreme Mars novel Chapter 206

After hanging up the phone, Rebecca was about to go out with the stone. But she got caught by Caroline.

 

“Mom, have you finished? I want it back.”

 

Rebecca was stunned. She hurried to put it into her pocket, “It’s just a stone. It’s worth nothing. I gotta go. I will be back soon.”

 

After saying that, she walked pass Caroline and was about to leave.

 

But Caroline stopped in her font again. She insisted firmly, “No. Give me back the stone!”

 

Rebecca was irritated. She yelled at Caroline, “Stop annoying me! You’ve got so many gifts today! Just give me the stone!”

 

“It’s a gift from Leo!”

 

Caroline soon noticed her intention—she actually wanted to take away the stone.

 

At the thought of that, Caroline was startled with her eyes wide open. She started at her mom with great disbelief.

 

“I didn’t expect that wimp to be so lucky enough to bump into this priceless stone.” Rebecca sneered.

 

She then added boldly, “Since he has offered it to you as a gift, it also belongs to our family. As your mother, I have the right to claim your stuff. What’s wrong with my decision to trade it for money?”

 

Rebecca took it for granted even though she was stealing from her own daughter. Caroline was rendered stunned, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”

 

“That’s who I am!”

 

Rebecca still deemed it nothing wrong. She acted unashamedly, “Caroline, you should learn to appreciate my decision. Now I am telling you the truth—money will always be the only thing you need. If it weren’t because of me, you would have never been admitted to the title of ‘Mrs. Hudson’. But I can’t believe that you appear to be so ungrateful that you even try to loot a piece of stone from me! I can’t imagine that’s how my girl treats me!”

 

Caroline was rendered speechless. She couldn’t help trembling all over with her head down while biting her own lips.

 

She suddenly recalled the past, during which she had committed a lot of stupid and shameful wrongdoings under the instigation of her mom, though also partly driven by her greed. That was what brought up the alienation between her and Leo, which even grew into hostility as time went by.

 

When she realized her fault at this moment, it was too late to make up for the fact that now she had become a stranger to him.

 

Caroline was overwhelmed with heartrending pain every time she realized that it was she herself who pushed Leo away—a man who once entrusted his true feelings to her.

 

“Mom, you can have all the gifts from the guests today but except for this stone. Please, give it back to me, okay?” Caroline grabbed her arms to beg. Tears welled up in her bloodshot eyes.

 

She knew her mom well, who could only be convinced by imploration.

 

Rebecca stared at her, feeling incredible because of the way she implored. She still remembered how much Caroline once hated Leo. But now she had fallen into such a sudden change.

 

 

However, she still showed no room to compromise. She grabbed her pocket hard, in which there kept the stone, “Listen! That’s impossible! Just forget about it.”

 

“The stone is worth more than ten million, totally overtaking the value of all gifts! I have raised you since you were born. Now it’s time for return. And it’s just a stone!”

 

“But that’s the only thing he left me.” Said Caroline, gritting and trembling.

 

Not until then did Rebecca understand why Caroline tried so hard to dig for the stone with bare hands. The priceless value never mattered to her. Instead, it was because it was the gift from Leo.

 

Even if it were a piece of simple weed, she would treasure it from the bottom of her heart.

 

Rebecca suddenly slapped hard on Caroline’s face. The slap was so strong that a trace of blood went down the corner of her mouth.

 

Rebecca glared at her viciously, shouting, “You bitch! Do you know you almost offended Mr. Hudson today?”

 

Caroline slumped on the ground, with hair dishevelled. Blood continuously dropped off from her mouth.

 

But Rebecca simply turned a blind eye to it. She kept yelling crazily, “If he dumped you, have you ever imagined the impact you might bring to us? If anything ridiculous like that ever happens again, I will definitely kill you before any punishment from Mr. Hudson.”

 

Slumping on the ground still, Caroline looked depressed. She gently wiped off the blood from the corner of her mouth. Then she raised up her head to look at Rebecca, “So my marriage is just a tool you want to manipulate so as to drive profit for the family, right?”

 

Now she showed no intention to implore anymore. Instead, she looked weirdly calm.

 

However, her calmness was a mere cover-up of her growing madness.

 

Rebecca turned to be sulky. She turned around to question, “If that’s not the case, what’s the point for me to bring you up? I even expect that coward to please Kate. But he actually ran away at the wedding eve! You’d better behave yourself and stop any bad idea!”

 

Caroline suddenly let out a silent smile. While smiling, she started to reveal sudden madness in her eyes.

 

“Give me back the stone!” Caroline screamed madly, pounced on Rebecca and reached out her hand to grab the stone from hers.
