MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND - Season 2 Episode 49

Bang! The glass bottle slammed hard against someone’s head!

The thick glass bottle shattered immediately, forming a crack in his hard and solid skull as the fragrant white wine and blood flowed down his head.

“Waa!” The people around them subconsciously shrieked in horror while watching the scene unfold in front of them in disbelief.

What made them unable to believe their eyes was that Bryce was clearly the one who had grabbed the white wine bottle and attempted to smash it at Lucas. But now, the person who had his head cracked open by the wine bottle turned out to be Bryce himself and not Lucas!

No one in the room saw how Lucas grabbed the bottle from Bryce’s hand and smashed it on his head in less than a second!

“Ahhhh!” The dumbfounded Bryce stood still on the spot for a long time before hugging his head and wailing out loud.

Lucas nonchalantly tossed the broken half of the wine bottle onto the ground, picked up a stack of snow-white napkins on the table, and slowly wiped the spilled wine on his hands.

No one dared to speak throughout the entire process.

Only after Lucas wiped his hands clean did he glance at Bryce, whose head was covered in blood. “I exposed the truth, so you want to kill me in a fit of anger and shame? Hah, you’re not worthy of picking a fight with me.”

Lucas’s voice was very calm and collected, but to Bryce, it was incredibly terrifying. When Bryce thought about it, he instantly recalled the miserable state that he had ended up in when he tried to deal with Lucas on several occasions previously!

“Bryce, are you alright!?!” Dominic hurriedly rushed over and picked up a clean napkin to press onto the wound on Bryce’s head to try stopping the blood from continuing to trickle down.

At the same time, Dominic glanced at Lucas resentfully. He wanted to scold him for being too vicious, but when he saw Lucas’s icy-cold gaze, he subconsciously stopped himself.

He had already witnessed how vicious and ruthless Lucas could be. Previously, Lucas had even rushed to the Carter residence and almost strangled him. Lucas would never consider the fact that Dominic was an elder and show him mercy. He and Bryce were nothing to Lucas! Even if he reprimanded Lucas, Lucas wouldn’t be bothered at all. He might even become enraged and beat him up.

Thinking of this, Dominic had no choice but to swallow his anger and bear with it.

Sitting at the side, Aston inhaled sharply. The way Lucas had expressionlessly smashed Bryce’s head with the wine bottle at a speed that was as quick as lightning was extremely terrifying.

Aston could also tell that Lucas had shown him some mercy. Otherwise, Bryce would have suffered more than just a crack in his head.

Besides, Aston also sensed that something was amiss after he saw Lucas’s means.

He wasn’t behaving conscientiously like a guest of a banquet should be. In fact, his behavior could be considered extremely disrespectful to the Hales.

Lucas had just told him to stay away from him tonight if he didn’t want to regret his decision. At that time, Aston was unsure of what he meant and simply thought that Lucas was a small fry who was looking for trouble, just like Bryce.

But Aston now understood what Lucas meant. It seemed that Lucas had a malicious intention for coming to attend the baby shower today. He was certain that Lucas would definitely cause trouble!

After a long silence, the people around them couldn’t help but discuss among themselves.

“Wow, they called him a good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law just now, but he seems very ruthless and has quick reflexes. Without hesitation, he beat up that wastrel of the Carters. He doesn’t seem to be a simple person at all!”

“Yeah, but Bryce Carter was the one who wanted to smash the bottle at him first, but he managed to snatch it and retaliate instead! Now it’s hard to tell!”

“Tsk, judging from the way Bryce Carter looks, I just think that what Lucas Gray said might be the truth. The Carters might have really set Cheyenne Carter up to snatch her company away. This is so ruthless! They’re all a family. Must they be so cruel?”

“Families like ours might not have a squeaky clean background, but people who create such a huge scandal to frame their family members are indeed rare! It’s no wonder that the Carters are declining. Now that the Brilliance Corporation is gone, their status has plunged, and I heard that they almost went bankrupt some time ago!”

These remarks made Bryce and Dominic feel infuriated and wishing they could vomit blood.

Who knew that the secret they had buried for so many years would suddenly be revealed by Lucas in public today? Furthermore, Bryce’s act of trying to smash Lucas’s head with the wine bottle made everyone feel that he flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to cover it up.

Now, the reputation of the Carters was utterly ruined!

But while they were whispering and gossiping about Cheyenne and the Carters, there were also quite a few who felt that Lucas’s behavior was outrageous.

“No matter what, it’s the Hales’ baby shower today. He caused bloodshed by smashing the bottle against Bryce Carter’s head. That’s extremely inauspicious!”

“I wonder how the Hales are going to deal with this! If I were them, I wouldn’t let off anyone who dared to cause trouble.”

Some people were talking very softly, but they only dared to speak quietly and didn’t dare to look Lucas in the eye.

Two guests got into a fight and created bloodshed at the banquet. Seeing this scene, the middle-aged steward felt vexed, and he had long sent someone to report to the higher-ups.

Soon, a young man in his thirties wearing a suit and a pair of gold-framed glasses walked over in a domineering gait. He looked just like an elite, but he was now frowning. Anyone who knew that someone had created trouble and caused something inauspicious like bloodshed at their joyous banquet would definitely be displeased.

The appearance of this person immediately made everyone around stare wide-eyed with an enthusiastic smile while bowing and greeting him.

“Mr. Hale, you’re here.”

“Mr. Hale, congratulations!”

This man was Connor Hale, Logan Hale’s brother, the third-generation heir of the Hale family.

It was said that Connor had studied abroad for several years and majored in business management. He was extremely competent, and despite being young, he was already treated and trained as the next successor of the Hale family. Thus, everyone who knew of him wouldn’t dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

The baby shower was for Connor’s newborn son.

Now that the host had come to handle the situation personally, everyone looked at Lucas gloatingly.
