MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 58

As soon as Declan saw Lucas appear, intense hatred appeared in his maniacal gaze.

Although he had been lashing out at Charlotte and cursing at her, he was full of hatred toward Lucas!

If Lucas hadn’t beaten him up and gotten Aston involved, he wouldn’t have been brought back to the Brooke residence to suffer a brutal beating. The Brookes had even seized all his money and the properties he had secretly bought!

The Brookes later fell because of Lucas!

If Lucas was the reason Charlotte rejected him, he would be the cause of everything!

“Hah, Lucas Gray. I hadn’t gone to look for you, but you came looking for me yourself!” Declan hollered through gritted teeth. Deep down, he felt extremely gloomy and resentful.

Charlotte was surprised and overjoyed the moment she saw Lucas. But she soon became worried and nervous after seeing the hatred in Declan’s eyes when he glared at Lucas.

Declan was now close to losing his mind. And in this situation, he was capable of doing anything!

Lucas narrowed his eyes and sized up the environment around them. Declan was holding Charlotte close to the edge of the roof. They were indeed in a very dangerous spot. The reason the special ops police officers hadn’t tried to shoot Declan was that they were worried he might jump off the building together with Charlotte, the hostage.

With a profound gaze in his eyes, Lucas squeezed the two coins in his pocket.

He was certain that he would be able to use the coins to kill Declan and still save Charlotte.

But there were numerous special police officers both on the roof and downstairs, onlookers, and many reporters paying attention to the progress. If Lucas used that method to save her, he would undoubtedly expose himself and get involved with the law.

After thinking about it, he gently waved his hand, shook off the special police officers wanting to hold him back from going forward, and then walked toward Declan and Charlotte.

“Declan, now that you have been abandoned, you must be feeling terrible. Is that why you’re behaving like a mad dog?” Lucas deliberately mocked him with a derisive smile.

Just as he expected, Declan immediately became enraged, and his expression became menacing. “Bastard! How dare you say that?! You’re the reason I ended up in this state today! It’s all your fault! You’re the one who deserves to die!”

Lucas raised his brows and kept walking over. “Yes, I’m the one who destroyed all the plans you’ve had all these years, but you don’t dare to do anything to me at all. All you dare to do is act mighty and formidable in front of a woman! Declan Adams, you’re really such a coward! I’m standing right in front of you now. What can you do to me?”

His ruthless mocking was like a sharp dagger stabbing deep into Declan’s chest, making him hysterical.

“Shut up! Shut up! Don’t talk anymore!” Declan hollered furiously at the top of his lungs with his dagger in hand.

“I’m standing right here. Do you dare to touch me? Even if I’m unarmed and you have a dagger in your hand, I bet you won’t even dare to take a step closer to me!” Lucas said with a smug and contemptuous expression while standing composedly three meters in front of Declan.

Charlotte could already tell what Lucas was trying to do. She knew that he was deliberately angering Declan and spiting him into letting go of her so that he could deal with him!

Although Charlotte had seen Lucas getting into fights with others several times before, and she also felt that Declan would be no match for him, she was still worried that he might get hurt easily by the sharp dagger in Declan’s hand!

Charlotte looked extremely nervous, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

“Who says I don’t dare?! Once I go over there, you’ll be the first one I kill!” Declan was indeed agitated by his words, and he hollered furiously. Holding the dagger, he was just about to charge toward Lucas!

But he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A few seconds later, he seemed to have an epiphany and suddenly became cleared-headed. He burst into laughter and gibed, “Hahaha, Lucas Gray, you’re just trying to provoke me so that I’ll deal with you and let Charlotte go, right? Hehehe, I won’t let you have your way!”

Lucas frowned slightly.

This dimwit Declan was just about to be fooled, but he suddenly calmed down and figured out the trick that Lucas was using. Someone had to be giving him some pointers!

Lucas couldn’t help looking at Declan’s ear.

“I know Charlotte Carter is your sister-in-law, so you definitely want to rescue her, don’t you? In that case, your Achilles’ heel is now in my hands!”

With a smug grin on his face, Declan dragged Charlotte over with one hand and put the dagger against her neck.

“Hmph, he’s right. If I want to kill you, I don’t have to walk over and attack you! If you want this woman to live, you’d better come over here obediently and jump off this building!” Declan threatened furiously with a menacing expression.

The Stardust Corporation office building had more than 30 floors, which was more than 100 meters high. If he jumped off from such a great height, he definitely wouldn’t survive!

Charlotte’s expression changed drastically, and she yelled in panic, “Lucas, don’t listen to him! This nutcase just wants to force you to die… Mmph!”

“Shut up!” Declan pressed the dagger against Charlotte’s throat in annoyance and forced her not to speak. When the sharp blade pressed against her delicate skin, a crimson line of blood immediately emerged.

“Are you going to jump or not? I’ll kill her now if you don’t jump!”

Lucas’s pupils constricted as a terrifying cold glint appeared in his eyes!

But he didn’t ignore the fact that Declan implied that someone had said something to him.

It wasn’t the time to think about it now because this lunatic was still holding Charlotte hostage. Her life was in danger, and she could die at any moment.

Lucas looked into Declan’s eyes and exclaimed coldly, “Fine. I’ll jump, but you must let her go first!”

Declan laughed out loud hysterically. “Haha, do you take me for a fool? If I let this bitch off, will you still jump?”

“Well then, how am I supposed to believe that you will let her go after I jump?” Lucas had already walked to a spot near Declan and was still composed.

Declan barked arrogantly, “Hmph, you don’t have a choice! If you die, I may let her go if I’m happy. But if you don’t jump now, I’ll kill her immediately!”

He once again waved the dagger in his hand and enjoyed the wonderful feeling of being in control of someone else’s life.

Lucas looked deep into Charlotte’s eyes and walked toward the edge of the roof. He said lightly, “I hope you’ll keep to your word.”

Then he jumped right off the roof!
