Chapter 339: Full of Regrets

Chapter 339: Full of Regrets

“What?!” Adrian received a great shock when he saw the two bodyguards in black throwing the man they were carrying onto the ground.

All four of his limbs had been broken, and he groaned in pain when he landed on the ground. Adrian could clearly see the obvious scars on his now pale and twisted face.

“Franco?!” Adrian was horrified to realize that the man whose limbs were all broken and seemed to be in a miserable state was Franco, who called the shots among the gangsters in Orange County. He immediately took two steps back as a sudden chill ran down his spine.

How did the mighty and formidable Franco end up in such a state?

What exactly happened here?

Franco, lying on the ground, immediately glared at Adrian resentfully with his eyes wide open. “Adrian Hill, you bastard! You cheated me and caused me to become crippled. I’ll definitely settle scores with you!”

Shocked by the terrifying hatred in Franco’s eyes, Adrian frantically took two steps back again and spluttered, “Franco… Franco, h-how did you end up like this?”

“Bastard, you still have the cheek to ask me that? Damn it… Ah!” Franco began to get worked up as he tried to get up to strangle Adrian. But as soon as he moved, he immediately felt excruciating pain in the spots where his bones were broken. He had no choice but to fall back down again.

Standing beside him, William widened his eyes in shock. Before he went to look for Adrian, Franco was still unruly and arrogant. But now, he was in such a tragic state…

William subconsciously looked at Lucas, who was standing beside him with a composed expression. He instinctively felt that Lucas must have something to do with Franco’s current miserable plight! Seems that my son-in-law is getting more and more complicated…

“Are you still going to threaten me with Charlie Franco?” Lucas asked with a smile as he stared at Adrian.

Adrian was no longer as confident and firm as he was a few minutes ago. Ever since he saw the terrible state Franco was in, he felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice-cold cave. His teeth began chattering, and he was at a loss for words.

Seeing this scene in front of them, Jimmy and the other former executives had already realized that things were not in their favor.

Franco had been crippled, and Adrian’s plan had fallen through. Moreover, they were also doomed!

They looked at each other and then bit the bullet and knelt down in front of Lucas.

Thud!

The sound of their knees hitting the concrete ground was extraordinarily loud, but they could no longer be bothered at this point! “Mr. Gray, w-we didn’t want to do this either. We were all forced to do it!”

“It was all Adrian’s idea. He came to us yesterday and fooled us into paying him sixty grand each to hire Franco for his plan. He even threatened to make sure that we could no longer make a living in Orange County if we refused!”

“Exactly! Mr. Gray, we gave Adrian Hill 360 grand in total. It was as much as our life savings. We had no choice but to obey him… but we really didn’t intend to go against you!”

They were all weeping miserably as if they were victims who had been forced.

As soon as they said all of this, Adrian became a little flustered.

The reason being, he did collect 360 grand from them yesterday, but he had only given 50 grand to Franco and pocketed the remaining amount.

Initially, no one would find out about the matter. But now that they had exposed him in front of Franco, Franco would certainly find out that Adrian had pocketed this large sum of money and gotten the better end of the deal!

Franco would probably hate him even more, especially since he had all his limbs broken because of this matter.

As expected, Franco instantly sat up from the ground and hollered angrily, “Adrian Hill, you f*cking bastard! You collected 360 grand from them but only gave me 50! You f*cking pocketed over 300 grand and even wanted me to put my life on the line for you! Damn it! I must kill you!”

Franco glowered at him, and the veins around his eyes were bulging. He looked incredibly horrifying, as if he was going to eat Adrian up.

If he could still move now, he would personally sever Adrian’s arms and legs one by one!

The other six only found out now that Adrian had pocketed the large sum of the money he had collected from them!

In other words, Adrian didn’t fork out a single cent himself but even earned more than 300 grand from the deal, in addition to becoming the general manager of the company, if the plan worked out, of course. He had blatantly treated them as fools and took them for a ride!

“Adrian Hill, you son of a bitch! You’re so despicable. How dare you deceive us?!”

“Screw you! Hurry up and return our money!”

“Adrian Hill, you’re such a bastard! Pay up!”

After realizing that they had been cheated out of their money, the six former executives furiously grabbed Adrian by his collar. Some were impatient and even punched him on his face.

Adrian shrieked in pain, but no one bothered about him.

Meanwhile, Preston kicked Franco furiously and rebuked, “Dimwit! You had the nerve to do such nonsense behind my back for a mere fifty grand. And you even dare to make a fuss about that money now? Is that something you should worry about now? Damn it!”

After dealing with Franco, the livid Preston walked up to Lucas. “Mr. Gray, this stupid bastard Franco has indeed made a tremendous mistake and offended you. You can do whatever you want with him. Even if you kill him, the Taylors won’t stop you!”

The six people beating up Adrian suddenly realized that the person who had been standing by Lucas’s side was Preston Taylor! In that case, they had not only offended Lucas but also Franco and the Taylors!

They were in hot soup!

Adrian turned as pale as a sheet, and his legs turned into jelly, causing him to fall to the ground.

The funny thing was, he had just threatened Lucas by saying that the Taylors wouldn’t let him off for offending Franco. But little did he know that a Taylor had been standing right there and watching him repress others in their name!

Adrian had always thought that he was really smart, but he never expected that his well-thought-out plan would backfire and cause him to end up in such a plight!

The only mistake he had made was belittling the chairman of the company, Lucas Gray!

He had underestimated Lucas’s power and wrongly assumed that Lucas wouldn’t be able to deal with Franco’s violence or even dare to confront the Taylors. But he was utterly wrong!

It was a terrible mistake!

However, it was too late for regrets now!

After hearing Preston say that he would hand Franco over to him to deal with, Lucas seemed completely uninterested. He said apathetically, “You can do whatever you want to a dog with all four limbs broken.”

“In that case… Mr. Gray, what would you like me to do?” Preston gritted his teeth. The Taylors were considered at fault for what happened today, so he had to give Lucas an explanation to appease him.

Since Lucas didn’t want to do anything to Franco, Preston had to make it up to Lucas in other aspects.

However… he suddenly had a strange sense of uneasiness.
