Chapter 79: The Douglas Family’s Apology

“Forget it, Cheyenne. You’ve already done enough for them. They just don’t know any better. From now on, regardless of their outcome, it’s all because of their own choices,” Lucas said.

“Who are you talking about? Hmph, Cheyenne Carter, don’t think I don’t know that your father is not even Grandpa’s biological son. You don’t belong to the Carter family. You’re just a bunch of bastards! Hurry up and get lost,” Scarlet barked at Cheyenne with her hands on her hips. However, she forgot that she was not a Carter either.

Cheyenne looked at Dominic bitterly. “Grandpa, do you think so too? Have you never treated me like your granddaughter?”

Dominic snorted. “Scarlet is right. Your family is not related to the Carters at all. I’ve raised you for decades, and it’s more than enough! What are you waiting for? Get lost!”

Large drops of tears rolled down Cheyenne’s cheeks, and she smiled crestfallenly while taking a deep look at Dominic. She then took a step back and said, “I understand.”

After saying this, she turned around and left without any further hesitation.

Lucas looked at Scarlet, who seemed to be smug about chasing away her enemy, and Dominic’s old and gloomy face and sneered. “How pathetic. You people will never know what you’ve missed.” He left the conference room as well.

Lucas’s words were puzzling for Scarlet and Dominic, but the way he looked at them as if he were looking at fools made them feel extremely furious and frustrated.

At this moment, a Carter hurriedly ran over and announced loudly, “Bad news. Some people from the Douglas family are here!”

When Dominic heard this, his heart palpitated violently. “Which family is that? Are they here to create trouble for us?”

“It’s the Douglas family in Orange County that owns an entertainment company and clubhouses. The chairman, Chris Douglas, is here personally with a person who’s bleeding profusely. It looks really intimidating! They must be here to create trouble. What should we do?” that Carter asked anxiously.

The Carters are really unlucky to be encountering trouble one after another!

They had just survived a crisis that almost caused them to go bankrupt and start liquidation two days ago. And now, the Douglas family was here at their doorstep. What’s going on?

At this moment, Dominic was astounded and confused. The Carters had never cooperated with Chris Douglas before, and yet he was here to look for them while bringing an injured person with him. What exactly could it be about?

Dominic was anxious. But as the head of the Carter family and the person with the final say, he had to go out and meet them, regardless of whether their intentions were hostile or not.

“Go. Hurry up and follow me to see what’s going on.” Dominic hurriedly excused himself from Aston and headed downstairs with the support of that Carter.

Aston smiled with interest and said to Scarlet, who had been sticking to him, “Let’s go down and take a look too.”

“Sure, Aston!” Scarlet unsurprisingly quickly agreed.

When they hurriedly took the elevator to the lobby downstairs, they happened to see a scene that took them aback.

Chris Douglas was bending over and bowing deeply to someone while saying in a clear voice, “Mr. Gray, I’m very sorry! My younger brother Gordon has done something wrong and offended you. We’ve already broken both his legs, and we’re now here to apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness!”

The person opposite Chris was clearly Lucas, who had just gone downstairs!

Chris’s subservient actions and speech were undoubtedly astonishing for the Carters, and they thought that they were hallucinating!

The Douglas family was a first-class family in Orange County. They were wealthy and powerful and owned countless entertainment joints in the county. And Chris Douglas, the eldest son of Hugo Douglas, was almost confirmed as the next successor of the family.

Such a big shot was actually bending over and apologizing to the loser Lucas! They even broke Gordon Douglas’s legs in order to show their sincerity to him!

“Oh my god!”

Is this world too magical? Or am I still dreaming?

The Carters dared not believe it at all.

Scarlet opened her mouth wide and looked at Lucas in disbelief.

Beside them, Aston looked at Lucas with some interest in his gaze. What… kind of a person is Lucas Gray? Is he really that legendary son-in-law loser?

At this moment, Lucas looked at Chris, who was bending forward and bowing to him, and then at Gordon, who was lying on a stretcher and covered in blood. His flesh was badly mangled, and he was in so much pain that he turned pale while his forehead was covered in cold sweat. However, Lucas didn’t feel anything.

He felt that the Douglases had brought it upon themselves.

Putting aside the fact that Gordon had attacked Charlotte, Cheyenne, and him several times, the Douglases owned several sordid businesses and often engaged in dirty deeds. This alone had already decided that their misdeeds would be exposed one day and that the family would collapse.

Although Lucas did order Davis to destroy the Douglas family, the various pieces of evidence that led to the crisis that they were facing were all real, and there was no fabrication involved.

Seeing that Lucas wasn’t responding, Scarlet suddenly thought of something. “Mr. Douglas, did you get the wrong person? You should be apologizing to Mr. Brooke, not Lucas Gray.”

Scarlet pointed to Aston beside her.

However, what she thought was a kind reminder didn’t sit too well with Chris, and he shot her an icy-cold gaze. “Shut up! Who are you to insult Mr. Gray?!”

Smack!

Before Scarlet could recover from the shock, one of Chris’s followers came over and slapped her hard in her face.

Scarlet was incredibly embarrassed, and she quickly clutched her face and stood still with tears in her eyes, not daring to make another sound.

When Dominic saw this scene, his face trembled a little, but he did not dare get justice for his granddaughter in front of Chris Douglas. So he could only pretend not to see.

On the other hand, Aston caressed Scarlet’s back and comforted her quietly. She immediately whimpered and leaned close to him.

If not for the fact that there were so many people there, she would have buried her head in his chest and cried her heart out!

However, Lucas didn’t feel that Chris was sincere in apologizing and merely thought that he was putting on a show.

He was about to leave, but beside him, Cheyenne suddenly said softly, “Lucas, just let them off.”
