Chapter 517: New Conspiracy

“What did you say?!” Charlotte’s eyes immediately widened in shock and disbelief. “How is that possible? My mom… How could my mom do such a thing?!”

Lucas hurriedly said, “I’m just saying what if. It’s hypothetical.”

Only then did Charlotte let out a huge sigh of relief and pat her chest. “You scared me. I really thought my mom did something like that! Why did you suddenly ask such a strange question?”

Lucas slowly sighed. “There are many things that seem unbelievable but have really happened. That’s why I’m emotional about it.”

Looking at Lucas’s face, Charlotte suddenly felt a little panicked as her heart sank. “Lucas… d-do you mean…?”

Lucas shook his head. “No. Like I said, it’s just hypothetical. I was merely asking a casual question. Okay, go ahead and do your work.”

Before Charlotte could say much, Lucas had already gotten an answer from her.

No matter what, Karen was still their biological mother. Even if Charlotte’s relationship with Karen had been strained, she still couldn’t accept it when she heard what he said.

Needless to say, Cheyenne’s reaction would be even more intense.

Lucas sighed slightly. At the same time, he felt rather angry at Karen.

She has such a good pair of daughters, so why on earth did she do such a terrible thing? Has she never spared a thought for Cheyenne’s and Charlotte’s feelings once the evil deeds she did to William are exposed?

How can a mother be so selfish and terrifyingly ruthless?

Charlotte lowered her head, walked to the office door, and suddenly said softly, “If she’s really done such a thing, I’ll be extremely upset and miserable, but I will never forgive her either!

“Everyone has to bear the consequences of doing wrongs and breaking the law. I will make sure gets the punishment she deserves. And I believe my sister will make the same choice as me.”

With that, she left the office without looking back.

Only, she bit her lower lip hard to hold her tears back.

She knew that Lucas would never ask her about such a terrifying thing out of nowhere. Since he did so, it must have already happened.

Thinking of this fact, Charlotte covered her mouth and dashed into the restroom while bursting into tears.

Lucas couldn’t calm down at all.

At the end of the day, Karen was their mother. And after finding out what she had done, anyone in their place would definitely feel miserable and hopeless, as if the world had collapsed.

Even Charlotte was terribly upset, what more Cheyenne, who was much more delicate and even regarded Karen as a loving mother.

“Karen Turner, I’ll give you one last chance. You’d better stop now… Otherwise, no one can save you,” Lucas muttered to himself with an ice-cold gaze in his eyes.

However, he didn’t ignore the collective termination of contracts with the Stardust Corporation by the companies of San Francisco.

If he guessed correctly, this matter was probably also related to that family.

Lucas picked up his cell phone and called someone. Then he commanded in a deep voice, “Several new clients that the Stardust Corporation have recently signed contracts with have all suddenly unilaterally terminated their contracts at the same time. Go find out what’s going on and get to the bottom of this.”

“Yes!”

Meanwhile, at the Kingston residence in San Francisco…

Marc was leaning against a couch languidly with his eyes closed, enjoying the shoulder massage given by a beautiful masseuse.

A middle-aged man in a suit walked in on with a light gait and bowed to Marc. “Mr. Kingston, as you have instructed, we’ve already severed the hands that the Stardust Corporation has extended to San Francisco. But those businesses have paid compensation for breaching the contract. I reckon they must have suffered heavy losses and won’t be able to do much for the time being.”

Marc narrowed his eyes slightly and acknowledged nonchalantly before saying, “Not bad, but that’s far from enough. Speed up the execution of the plan. I want to see the Orange County branch of the Stardust Corporation completely become a thing of the past!”

“This…” The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment but nevertheless bit the bullet and said, “It’s easy to overthrow the Stardust Corporation, but to do it within ten days… I’m afraid it’s a Herculean task.”

Marc opened his eyes with a cold glint in them. “Remember, I’m only giving you ten days. Come up with a solution on your own. And if you can’t do it, you know what’ll happen to you!”

“Yes! Mr. Kingston, I will do my best to get it done!” the panic-stricken middle-aged man immediately said in fear.

The man in front of him was the most outstanding heir of the Kingston family. He had a fickle and eccentric temper. If he upset him, the middle-aged man would definitely face an outcome worse than death.

“Get down. I hope you will bring me good news next time.”

After the middle-aged man left, Marc waved his hand, instructing the woman behind him to leave too.

Sitting on the sofa, he snorted coldly. “Hmph, Jace Hutton actually wants me to destroy the Orange County branch of the Stardust Corporation within a month. Seems like the situation on the Huttons’ side isn’t going too well either. But no matter how they fight, it’s impossible for Lucas Gray, an abandoned son, to return to the Hutton family!

“A month’s time… But the sooner I complete the task, the more I’ll be valued.”

Marc took a sip of red wine and picked up the document on the table that he had already perused several times with a contemptuous smile on his face.

It was information about Lucas that the Huttons had given him.

“Hah, they all say that Lucas Gray is a good-for-nothing who sponges off his wife and is looked down upon by his mother-in-law. Yet no one knows that he’s actually a scion of the Huttons. How hilarious!

“However, I can use his mother-in-law, Karen Turner.”

A bloodthirsty and cold glint appeared in Marc’s eyes.

——

At this point, Karen naturally didn’t know that a terrifying person was targeting her, and she was still sitting in William’s ward, her eyes full of frustration that she was almost unable to hold back.

The reason was that Cheyenne was also in the ward and sitting beside William’s bed while speaking to him non-stop.

“Dad, I remember you love spicy pasta the most, but when Charlotte and I were kids, we couldn’t eat spicy food, so you had no choice but to cook tomato pasta for us while you secretly made spicy sauce for yourself.

“Let’s go have pasta together when you wake up. You can have it as spicy as you want. Now, Charlotte and I can enjoy spicy food with you!

“Oh, and Amelia has been really well-behaved these days, and she keeps asking about you and when you’re going to wake up so that you can play with her. She even made a clay figurine at school and keeps saying that she wants to give it to you!”

…

Cheyenne’s voice was calm, and she kept bringing up matters of their childhood and family in hopes that William could hear her and suddenly wake up.

Ever since the doctor said that it would help those in a vegetative state regain consciousness, she and Charlotte would come over whenever they were free and try their best to say some things to him.

But Karen was annoyed to hear it.

She was looking for an opportunity to take action against William, but Cheyenne was staying by his side and talking to him incessantly. She was anxious and worried that William would suddenly wake up as the doctor said!
