THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY - Season 3 Episode 74

Meanwhile, Cheyenne, William, and Karen had already arrived in the neighborhood of William’s new rented apartment.

It was in the western part of Orange County. Although the housing estate seemed a little old, it wasn’t dilapidated, and there was a plethora of amenities and stores nearby, such as a supermarket, mall, hospital, and other lifestyle facilities. The traffic was good too, and it was generally quite a suitable residential area.

The vehicles of non-residents were not allowed to enter the housing estate, so Cheyenne parked her car in the parking lot outside. She then took out a large suitcase from the trunk, followed by Karen’s backpack, which Cheyenne carried on her back. William then carried the other two smaller suitcases, while Karen was much more relaxed, as all she held was her small little purse. She began to scan and survey her surroundings with a picky and impatient expression.

“Dad, this estate looks pretty nice, and there are quite a few fitness facilities inside. The overall neighborhood and living environment aren’t bad either,” Cheyenne remarked while walking.

She saw an average-sized artificial lake in the middle of the housing estate, with lots of greenery by the lake and quite a few people sitting on the benches along the banks. Some of them were chatting, some were fishing by the lake, while some were working out. They all seemed to be relaxed and enjoying themselves.

William said smilingly, “Yes, this is really not bad. It happens to be near the office too. I can walk to and from work every day. Besides, there are many residents here, so I can easily find someone to chat and exercise with when I’m bored.”

He was full of expectations and looking forward to his future life, and his face seemed to be glowing with vitality.

On the other hand, Karen humphed coldly and snapped in disdain, “Hmph, good my foot! It’s so noisy everywhere, and this estate is so old and shabby. I bet the people here all relocated from a demolished estate, and they must be horrible, lowly people! This lake is so small, filthy, and stinky. It’s worlds apart from the large lake around the villa!”

She didn’t want to move away from the luxurious and comfortable villa in the first place. After looking at the ordinary housing estate, she felt that everything about it was inferior and too lousy for her. William Carter is such a dimwit. He chose to move out of a wonderful villa and come to this lousy and shabby place. He even dragged me down with him. This is unacceptable!

William pursed his lips, frowned unhappily, and bellowed at Karen, “Mind your words! We’ve just moved here. Don’t end up offending everyone in this estate!”

If others heard her criticizing the residents here for being lowly and inferior, they would feel uncomfortable.

Karen continued to murmur for a while. She chose not to fight with him right on the spot because she could tell that he wasn’t in a good mood.

“Hey, look who this is. You’re the noble and prestigious Mrs. Carter, aren’t you?” At this moment, a sarcastic remark suddenly sounded from behind them.

Karen, Cheyenne, and William turned around in unison and saw a chubby woman in her thirties glowering at them scornfully.

Karen and Cheyenne immediately recognized who she was.

She was Sharon Hart, the wife of James Wilson, the general manager of the Titanium Corporation, whom they had gotten into a conflict with on several occasions.

In particular, when they had a meal at the hotel previously, Karen had bumped into Sharon in the washroom and got into an altercation with her over the exquisite bracelet Karen was wearing. Sharon had taken a liking to the bracelet, so she tried to cheat Karen out of it by claiming that Karen had damaged the bracelet she was wearing and thus demanded that the latter compensate for it.

Karen naturally refused to let herself lose out, so she immediately made a big fuss and kicked up a ruckus that eventually led to a fight with Sharon. Charlotte was unaware of the truth and even helped Karen beat Sharon up. Afterward, when Karen learned that Sharon was James Wilson’s wife, she got scared and hurriedly gave the bracelet away while also pushing Charlotte out to get hit by Karen.

Since that incident, Charlotte was thoroughly disappointed in Karen, and her disappointment intensified as time passed.

Later on, because of Lucas’s intervention, Sharon had no choice but to apologize to Karen under Wilson’s coercion. She even had to return the bracelet that she had painstakingly gotten from Karen after being taught a hard lesson by Wilson. She could be said to have suffered a double loss.

Sharon had been bearing this grudge in mind, and she was just waiting for the right time to take revenge!

Coincidentally, she just happened to run into Karen today, and it was a godsend opportunity because Lucas wasn’t around!

“Karen, do you know each other? Is she your friend?” William chuckled and asked. William wasn’t around when that incident took place at the hotel, so he wasn’t aware of the feud between them and merely thought that they were friends.

Before Karen could refute, Sharon flew into a rage and hollered at William with a scornful expression, “Who are you to call me that?!”

William froze on the spot and looked at Karen in bewilderment. “I was speaking to my wife. What’s the matter? Do you have a problem?”

Only then did Sharon realize that she had misheard and that William was talking to the sharp-tongued wench Karen, not her!

Ugh, why do our names sound so similar?

I got embarrassed again!’

Needless to say, Sharon’s disgust and hatred for Karen’s family instantly intensified.

Karen burst into laughter, thoroughly amused by Sharon’s blunder.

“Bitch, what the hell are you laughing at?” Sharon snapped.

Karen’s face immediately turned pale. Given her character, she’d definitely clap back at anyone who called her a bitch in public and curse at them.

But since the incident at the hotel, Karen already knew Sharon’s identity as Wilson’s wife. So despite being insulted by Sharon, she didn’t dare to say anything else and merely shrank back to hide behind Cheyenne, completely pretending that she hadn’t heard anything.

But Cheyenne couldn’t stand by and watch her mother being insulted without doing anything.

She said seriously, “Ms. Hart, please mind your words.”

Sharon didn’t take Cheyenne seriously at all, especially after she knew that Cheyenne was Lucas’s wife. She was brimming with so much resentment that she decided to vent all the anger she had developed due to Lucas onto Cheyenne.

Sharon had already forgotten all about Wilson’s previous admonishments for her not to provoke Lucas again. “Who are you to lecture me? Little bitch, it seems that if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t know who I am!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and slapped Cheyenne on her face before anyone could react!

Smack!
