MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 4 - Season 6 Episode 28

At this moment, in the chairman’s office on the top floor of the Stardust Corporation building…

Lucas was holding a few reports in his hand, but he wasn’t focused on them. Instead, he seemed slightly lost in thought.

He was pondering about something.

In the past few days, William had suddenly met with a car accident that left him seriously wounded and even hospitalized. It was unknown if he could regain consciousness. Even Maddy might not be certain about curing him when she returned from abroad to take a look at his condition.

Cheyenne and Charlotte would take time to go to the hospital and chat with William every day.

At the same time, things seemed to be rather chaotic at the Stardust Corporation as well.

Since two days ago, several secondary partners had all unilaterally terminated their contracts with the Stardust Corporation, thus causing many of the already formulated plans and strategies to be greatly affected.

They had to redo and lay down many of the crucial steps all over again.

Of course, finding out the mastermind behind this was the most important thing.

Lucas had a nagging feeling that the contract terminations were only one part of the plans and that there were very likely further plans.

Lucas’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Cheyenne.

“Cheyenne…” Lucas picked up the phone. Just as he spoke, she anxiously interrupted him.

“Lucas, where is my mom now?” Cheyenne asked with an unprecedented austerity in her voice.

Lucas was stunned, but he soon felt a little guilty. He touched his nose and could only say, “I-I don’t know.”

Yesterday, he had wanted to send Karen back to the Turners and warn them to keep a close eye on her. But some people suddenly attacked and snatched Karen away on the road. When Skylar’s group called to inform Lucas about it, he was still with Cheyenne. In order to prevent her from worrying, he chose not to tell her about it and planned to wait until he managed to get Karen back.

But Lucas hadn’t expected to be unable to find Karen even until now.

So when he heard Cheyenne ask about it, he was naturally at a loss for words.

He couldn’t tell Cheyenne that her mother had been abducted and was missing. So he could only tell her that he didn’t know.

“Do you… really not know where my mom is?” Cheyenne’s tone seemed a little off, with a tinge of fragileness. She seemed to be gritting her teeth too.

Lucas could tell something, but he kept his lips sealed and only said, “I really don’t know. Cheyenne, did something happen to you?”

He heard Cheyenne take a deep breath and say, “I’m fine.”

Then she hung up.

Lucas looked at his phone with a bitter smile.

He didn’t want to deceive Cheyenne. But now, William was still lying on the hospital bed, and who knew when he would regain consciousness. Cheyenne and Charlotte were already extremely miserable, grief-stricken, and emotionally and physically exhausted.

If the news of Karen’s disappearance was revealed, Cheyenne definitely wouldn’t be able to accept it.

Lucas really couldn’t bear to do so.

The only thing he could do was to send as many people as possible to try and get the abducted Karen back as soon as possible!

But the somewhat bizarre tone of Cheyenne’s voice still bothered him. She… isn’t aware of anything, is she?

——

Meanwhile, Cheyenne, who was sitting in the general manager’s office of the Brilliance Corporation building, burst into tears immediately after hanging up.

But she bit her lower lip to prevent herself from crying loudly as large teardrops landed on her desk.

On the monitor in front of her was a stream playing, and the protagonist of the stream was her mother, Karen!

Although her face was beaten up and so swollen that it was almost beyond recognition, Cheyenne was her daughter and had been living with her for decades, so she could definitely recognize her face!

At this moment, Karen, who was in a horrible state on the monitor, was looking at the camera and telling everyone about her tragic experience.

“Yes, I actually had a blissful family at first, and my daughters have both become competent adults with successful careers. One of them is the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation, and the other is the general manager of the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch. And my husband is also working as a manager of a company. It could be said that our family’s income and financial situation were quite good.

“But all of this was ruined by my son-in-law, Lucas Gray!

“Lucas was just a penniless punk with no background. But later, he wooed my daughter and became her live-in husband.

“I thought he was a good man. Although he was poor and my daughter was out of his league, I thought that I’d just bite the bullet and let him become my live-in son-in-law as long as his character was acceptable.

“But I never thought that Lucas Gray was just a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

“God knows what tricks he resorted to to become the person in charge of the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch, but he knows nothing about managing a company. He just likes pretending to be mighty, so he ended up offending lots of companies. They’ve all decided to terminate their contracts with the Stardust Corporation!”

Hearing this, many of the Orange County audience burst into an uproar in front of their screens.

The Stardust Corporation was quite a large enterprise in Orange County. And previously, it had the support of the Huttons, so many of the large and small businesses were all proud to cooperate with it.

Even those who didn’t care about wealthy families and businesses had at least heard of the Stardust Corporation.

But they only knew that there was a general manager with the last name Davis, and they didn’t know that there was another person in charge named Lucas Gray. This was new information to them.

As for what Karen said about the contract terminations, some people had indeed heard about it. It seemed what she said was probably true.

But what Karen said next immediately caused all the people watching to be in disbelief.

Weeping miserably, Karen said, “Because of Lucas’s recklessness, the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch has suffered heavy losses. He’s afraid that he won’t be able to explain it, so he tried to collect money to fill the deficit. But he doesn’t have enough money himself, so he tried to take it from us!

“So just a few days ago, he deliberately got someone to run a car into my husband and turned him into a vegetable so that he would become the only man in our family and could rightfully call the shots!

“When I accidentally found out about it, this black-hearted Lucas Gray beat me up into a pulp, causing me to end up in this state. He even fabricated lies claiming that I caused my husband’s car accident. He even threatened me not to talk to anyone about it, or he would beat me to death!

“I was going to suck it up, but I’m really worried about my daughters! They have no idea that the man they live with is a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

“Cheyenne, Charlotte, you must believe me and realize the true colors of this sinister and ruthless man as soon as possible! He’s truly inhumane!

“If I really die one day, it will definitely be because Lucas Gray killed me! But it doesn’t matter if I die. I just can’t bear to let my dear daughters continue being deceived by that beast!”

Karen teared up as she spoke, pretending to be a loving mother who was willing to expose the villain Lucas at the expense of her own life, despite having suffered lots of abuse and aggravation.

Countless viewers wept in front of their screens.

At the same time, more people were full of rage toward Lucas!
