MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 6 - Season 8 Episode 37

Estelle’s heart sank. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

If she really brought a devastating blow to the Brookes because she had offended Lucas today, her father and grandfather would definitely not spare her!

The moment she thought of this, her heart began trembling. She could no longer care about anything else and immediately fell to her knees in front of Lucas.

“Mr… Mr. Gray, what happened today is all my fault! I’m sorry! I… I’ll kowtow to you! Please spare the Brookes. Don’t let my grandfather and family find out!” Estelle Brooke begged miserably. She even clenched her jaw and began kowtowing on the ground.

Bang!

Bang!

…

Estelle was really terrified at this moment, so she kowtowed very forcefully. Soon, her forehead was red and swollen.

But Lucas remained unmoved.

To Lucas, the Brookes were just a small family that he had once defeated, and they posed no threat to him at all. He didn’t intend to kill them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let the Brookes leave LA and let them off the hook for all their previous misdeeds.

He had given the Brookes a way out on the premise that they would no longer come and cause trouble for him.

But now, Estelle had actually taken the initiative to jump in front of him and even slandered and defamed Charlotte. Lucas naturally wouldn’t go easy on the Brookes.

As for whether the entire Brooke family should atone for Estelle’s mistakes, Lucas didn’t feel that there was any issue. He had already warned the Brookes, but the Brookes had failed to take their family in hand. They had allowed Estelle to wreak havoc and randomly accuse others, so they should naturally also take the blame.

At this moment, Reynold also understood what stupid things Jake and Estelle had done through their conversation.

He didn’t expect that while he was trying to find ways to get closer to Lucas, the new hegemon of California, a distant relative of the Watsons and a woman with a different last name, who had come to join the Watsons, would dare to offend Lucas so terribly!

At the beginning, when the Brookes in LA were destroyed overnight, the Brookes’ helmsman, Andrew, had brought many members over to join the Watsons.

Because Andrew’s wife was a Watson, Reynold had accepted the Brookes on the account that they were relatives. He had even prepared two villas for them to live in. He was rather benevolent to them.

But Reynold hadn’t expected that the person who overthrew the Brookes was Lucas.

Now, an incompetent woman of the Brookes had actually offended Lucas once again, causing trouble for the family.

The reason Jake had offended Lucas, whom he didn’t even know, must have also been because Estelle had instigated him!

“Reynold, I heard that the Brookes are currently staying with the Watsons. Is that right?” Lucas asked.

Reynold wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and answered carefully, “Yes, we’re just distant relatives…”

Lucas interrupted him and directly instructed, “I don’t care what kind of relationship you have with them, but from today onward, I don’t want to see anyone from the Brookes appearing in California. Do you hear me? If you can’t do it, the Watsons will also be eradicated from California!”

When Reynold heard this, his heart instantly pounded rapidly.

From what Lucas said, it seemed that he didn’t want to let the Brookes off, but he surprisingly didn’t pursue the matter against the Watsons.

It finally made Reynold relieved.

“Yes, Mr. Gray. I promise to do it! From tomorrow onward, there will no longer be any Brookes in California!” Reynold agreed without hesitation.

Then he stood up from the ground and looked at Jake and Estelle, who were still kneeling next to him, his eyes full of disgust. He instructed his bodyguards, “Take these two people back immediately and punish them severely! Those who have offended Mr. Gray can’t escape death!”

“Yes!” Several burly bodyguards immediately came over and firmly held the terrified Estelle and Jake. They even covered their mouths and dragged them out of the restaurant.

The surrounding people covered their mouths. Based on what Reynold said in the end, these two people probably wouldn’t be able to survive.

But they had all witnessed the matter from the beginning to the end. These two people could only blame themselves for taking the initiative to provoke Lucas, a person whom they couldn’t afford to provoke. No one sympathized with them at all.

Lucas had wanted to bring Charlotte here to have a late-night snack before returning to Orange County, but they had suddenly encountered Estelle. Moreover, all the people in the restaurant were looking at the two of them with complicated gazes in their eyes. There were even a few people who came over to try and befriend them. Seeing this situation, Lucas and Charlotte were no longer interested in eating.

“Shall we go back?” Lucas looked at Charlotte and asked softly.

“Huh? Oh… okay!” Charlotte finally snapped back to her senses before leaving with Lucas.

“Mr. Gray, I’ll see you two off!” Reynold tagged along fawningly until he sent the two of them to their car. Even after this, he was still standing from afar and watching them leave.

The car was driving back to Orange County.

Charlotte, sitting in the front passenger seat, was silent for a while. Eventually, she finally couldn’t help asking, “Lucas, Mr. Watson… His attitude toward you… Something must have happened at the Elite Business Exchange today, right?”

She was now the general manager of the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch, and she had become much sharper and better at observing than before. Besides, Reynold had made it so obvious today. So Charlotte naturally thought that something big must have happened at the Elite Business Exchange today, and it also had to be related to Lucas.

Lucas thought that many things did happen at the Elite Business Exchange today, and most of them were astonishing and would take California by storm. But he didn’t like praising himself, so he smiled indifferently. “Some things indeed happened, but they’re good for us. You’ll know in the future.”

Seeing that Lucas was unwilling to mention more, Charlotte stopped asking. But since Lucas said that they were good things, and Reynold was indeed respectful to him, she didn’t need to worry.

“Hah, that’s what you said! As long as they’re good, I’m also waiting to see more good news from you!” Charlotte stopped feeling burdened and instead smiled radiantly. It was the first pleasant smile she had since she had started being gloomy for a long time.

Lucas smiled lightly and drove smoothly to his home in Orange County.

At this moment, far away in a villa of the Watsons in San Jose, the Brookes had yet to know the terrifying disaster about to strike them.
