MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 4 - Season 6 Episode 12

Lucas seemed to catch something.

In fact, he found it strange that Karen had rushed to the hospital on the day of William’s accident even though no one had informed her about it. But he didn’t think much about it then.

But after hearing the information from Jordan, he couldn’t help developing a terrifying conjecture.

Who was Nikki?

She was Cheyenne’s cousin and Karen’s niece.

Lucas wouldn’t have cared if Nikki had been showing up at the apartment frequently because they were close relatives.

But more than a week ago in LA, Nikki had repeatedly targeted and framed Lucas and Cheyenne. If Cheyenne hadn’t chosen to put the past behind her and plead for mercy for Nikki on account that they were relatives, Lucas would have long allowed Matthew’s subordinates to teach her a lesson.

However, Lucas could long tell that Nikki was just an ingrate. Since she failed to get what she wanted and had even suffered a loss because of Lucas and Cheyenne, she would definitely put all the blame and responsibility on them and not remember the multiple times they had saved for her.

On the day of the wedding, Nikki had even tried to sow discord to get Edmund to deal with Lucas in the hotel, which angered Edmund and also caused the Herons to be suppressed by many families in LA, resulting in heavy losses.

So Nikki had to hate him very much.

And it just so happened that Karen also resented Lucas very much.

It was very possible that the two had joined forces to deal with him.

But the problem was that if William’s car accident was really part of their scheme, there were lots of doubtful points.

They should be targeting him instead. There was no reason to kill William…

Lucas’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Sarah, who he had just parted with not long ago.

“Mr. Gray, I suddenly remembered something. Just two hours before my husband’s accident, I heard him answering a call, and the person on the other end was a woman. My husband seemed to have called her Miss Turner!”

Miss Turner?!

Apart from Karen, he almost couldn’t think of anyone else who had the last name Turner and was also related to William!

Lucas found it extremely incredible. Karen and William have been married for nearly thirty years. She couldn’t have tried to kill William, right?

Since William sustained severe injuries from the car accident, causing him to be hospitalized, Karen’s attitude had changed drastically. It seemed she had finally understood her true feelings for William, so she was no longer as cold and uncaring toward him.

This thought had made Lucas feel slightly awful before, so he hadn’t dared to think much about it.

But the name Sarah mentioned made him stop imagining any other possibilities.

Now, he began to ponder over Karen’s various actions lately, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were quite a few clues.

First of all, Karen and William were not a loving couple, and it could be said that their relationship was extremely strained for some time now. William had initiated a divorce several times before, but Karen had refused to agree.

Even Lucas could feel that Karen was not only unwilling to divorce William, but she was even afraid of him initiating a divorce.

The most obvious thing was that Karen had been unwilling to move out of the villa in the middle of Pearl Lake. But William had used divorce to threaten her, so she had no choice but to agree to it with great disgruntlement.

Previously, during the wedding in LA, Karen had refused to admit to lending their money to her siblings and paying for Alex’s villa. She had admitted to it only because William had threatened her with divorce.

Why was this so?

There had to be some secret he didn’t know.

The second thing was that Karen’s arrival at the hospital that day had been too early.

Lucas and Cheyenne had heard the accident from the phone call with William, so they had rushed to the accident site and then quickly headed to the hospital. They had traveled very quickly, but Karen had arrived only a little later than them. It was as if she had received the news first or that she had been informed in advance.

In addition, Nikki had appeared several times in the apartment where Karen lived. Lucas was basically sure that William’s accident was premeditated and that it had something to do with Karen and Nikki!

A chill emerged in his heart.

Lucas didn’t know why Karen would do this to William, and at present, he didn’t have any evidence to prove that those two were the masterminds, but he was furious.

It was not only because of William, who was seriously injured and likely to be a vegetable for the rest of his life, but also because of Cheyenne and Charlotte.

They were still feeling glad because Karen suddenly changed her attitude and became like a real gentle mother. If they knew the truth of this matter, how could they accept such a cruel reality?

Now, was it still necessary to investigate Karen’s crimes?

Jordan looked at Lucas’s dark face and didn’t say anything.

He also guessed that the mastermind behind the murder was most likely Karen, William’s shrew-like wife. Tsk, what a crazy woman! She even tried to kill her husband. How terrifying!

——

At this moment, in Orange Coast Medical Center…

After getting some rest, Karen began experimenting with various methods on William’s body with great enthusiasm again.

She stretched out her long nails, lifted his hospital gown, and pinched his body extremely hard, leaving crescent-shaped marks all over.

While she was pinching, she was thinking that she should probably go and buy some needles tomorrow so that she could stab him with them.

Creak! Suddenly, the door of the ward opened.

Karen was greatly startled, and she reflexively covered up William immediately.

When she turned around and saw that the person who entered the ward was none other than Lucas, she raised her eyebrows and started cursing, “Is there something wrong with you? You didn’t even knock before entering. You almost frightened me to death!

“Everyone says you’re a good-for-nothing freeloading off your wife, and it’s indeed true! Both my daughters are working hard to earn money, yet you just idle around all day. Looking at you makes me furious!”

Lucas ignored her insults. When he saw the messy blanket and William’s crumpled clothes, his heart sank. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, “What were you doing just now?”
