THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY - Season 3 Episode 78

Only then did the man with the ear studs realize that there was someone in the apartment next to them. He guessed that she must be related to the middle-aged man they were tasked to save. So he walked to the door and asked loudly, “We were sent to save someone. Is the injured man who passed out your father?”

Cheyenne hurriedly said, “Yes! I was locked inside, and my father threw the key out of the ventilation window over the stairs. Please help me find the key and let me go out!”

Since Joe was the one who sent them to rescue William, he naturally didn’t dare to neglect William’s daughter. He hurriedly instructed the three young people beside him. “Did you hear her? Hurry and go downstairs to find the key!”

The three young people looked at the ventilation window and immediately ran downstairs.

At this moment, the man with the ear studs called Joe and explained the situation to him in detail.

When Joe heard that his subordinates were too late to stop the fight and that William was already seriously wounded to the point of lying unconsciously on the ground, he immediately cursed furiously, “Are you a bunch of useless trash? I told you to rush there and save him immediately. Why were you still late? You even let the assailants escape!”

The man with the ear studs felt extremely vexed as well. He had immediately gathered his men and rushed to Golden Garden Estate to save William after receiving Joe’s call. But he had indeed come late, and there was nothing he could do!

“Forget it. Since things have come to this, let’s not waste time on nonsense! The perpetrators have already left, so hurry up and check the surveillance camera footage of the estate to find out who they are and where they’ve gone! Hurry up and investigate! If you mess up, you don’t have to work for me anymore!”

With that, Joe hung up furiously before urging the driver to drive faster.

After hearing Joe lose his temper, the man with the ear studs tensed up. He then hurriedly called the estate management office to have them check the surveillance camera footage.

When his men found the key from the bushes downstairs and brought it up, Lucas happened to arrive at the fifth floor.

As soon as the door opened, Cheyenne leaped out from inside.

“Cheyenne, are you alright?” Lucas held onto Cheyenne and scanned her from head to toe.

Cheyenne’s face was covered in tears, and she was extremely flustered. When she saw Lucas, she felt as if she had found her pillar of support, and she leaped into his arms and cried, “Lucas! Dad was seriously injured by them! I don’t know how he’s doing now! I’m really scared that something might happen to him! When he saw those people coming just now, he pushed me into the apartment and locked the door before throwing the key away to prevent them from coming in. I watched him get beaten up alone outside, but there was nothing I could do to help! I’m so useless…”

Cheyenne was worried and overwhelmed with self-reproach as she hugged Lucas and wept hysterically.

Lucas hugged Cheyenne, patted her on the back, and comforted softly, “It’ll be fine. William was just worried that you might be hurt, so he locked you inside. You’re a defenseless woman. If you had come out, you would definitely have been injured. At that time, William would have been in greater misery. William will only be at ease if you’re fine. Don’t think too much about it.

“If you’re worried about William, I’ll have someone send you to the hospital to visit him. He’ll definitely be fine.”

While being comforted by Lucas, Cheyenne gradually calmed down, wiped the tears on her face with her hand, and nodded.

Lucas asked, “Who are those people who came?”

Because Lucas was in a rush just now, he hadn’t had time to ask Cheyenne the details of what had happened over the phone. Only after he arrived did he realize that the perpetrators had fled.

Cheyenne said with bloodshot eyes, “It’s Sharon Hart, James Wilson’s wife, who got into a conflict with my mom at the hotel restaurant over the bracelet the other day. We happened to run into each other in the estate today and got into a conflict. She then brought four men over and beat Dad up.”

There was an icy cold glint in Lucas’s eyes!

Those two had had several conflicts with Lucas, but he had decided to let them off because Wilson had personally apologized and promised not to provoke them again. But unexpectedly, Sharon didn’t know any better and even had the audacity to bring people over to beat William and Cheyenne up.

If William hadn’t locked Cheyenne up in time, she would have been bullied and humiliated by Sharon. Besides, Cheyenne was a girl, so who knows what would have happened to her.

The thought of that scene made Lucas want to kill people!

He took a deep breath and suppressed the immense murderous intent within him. He then said to Cheyenne, “Okay, I know. Go to the hospital and take a look at William. Leave the rest to me.”

Lucas turned around and quickly explained to Joe, who had also hurriedly arrived at the door. “Take my wife to the hospital now and take good care of her. I don’t want any problems to occur this time!”

Joe’s heart almost jumped out of his chest when he heard the anger in Lucas’s tone. He quickly said, “Yes! I will definitely protect Miss Carter and ensure that nothing happens to her!”

Face all red and swollen, Cheyenne was very worried about William’s situation, so she frantically nodded and walked to the elevator.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening softly came. Karen finally peeked through the crack in the door before craning her neck to take a look outside.

When she realized that Sharon and the menacing henchmen had left and that her good-for-nothing son-in-law Lucas was standing at the door with a few men, she finally heaved a sigh of relief and walked out of the bedroom.

But Lucas and Cheyenne merely glanced at her coldly before looking away, as if they hadn’t seen her.

Cheyenne didn’t even ask Karen if she wanted to go to the hospital with her to check on William’s condition. She was afraid that she would hear Karen say some nasty things and no longer be able to suppress the anger in her heart.

When Karen saw their reactions, not only did she not feel ashamed at all, but she also pursed her lips and rolled her eyes in disdain.

Just as Cheyenne and Joe were about to go downstairs, the phone of the man with the ear studs rang. After he saw the caller ID, he answered immediately. “What? Have you watched all the surveillance camera videos?”

Hearing that they had already found some clues in the videos, the few of them stopped and listened to what he had to say.

“Okay, I know. Continue to keep tabs on it!” After hanging up, the man with the ear studs immediately reported to Joe and Lucas, “My men discovered that that woman brought her people to the Douglases’ villa. Her men are also bodyguards of the Douglases.”

The Douglases? Why would she go there?

As far as Lucas knew, the Douglases didn’t seem to be nearby, so he wondered how Joe’s subordinates managed to find out.

Seemingly having noticed Lucas’s puzzlement, the man with the ear studs hurriedly said, “The Douglases own a villa in the Golden Palm Villa cluster nearby. They headed there!”

Lucas said coldly, “I’ll go there to see them now!”
