Chapter 521 - Waves Rise Again
Chapter 521: Waves Rise Again
Skylar had been saved by Lucas, and now that she had decided to follow Lucas, she would naturally be biased toward him.
More importantly, Skylar was responsible for monitoring Karen’s behavior during this period of time, and she had witnessed with her own eyes Karen’s terrifying and menacing true colors. She had seen Karen repeatedly abusing her seriously wounded husband, who was still comatose and lying on the hospital bed, and even trying to kill him with her own hands.
So in Skylar’s eyes, Karen was an extremely vicious wench who was in no place to scold Lucas!
Karen was not afraid of Lucas, but Skylar’s murderous eyes just now were still fresh in her memory, leaving her terrified. She immediately kept quiet in fear after taking a slap from Skylar.
At the same time, a rare sense of scrupulous fear toward Lucas arose in her heart.
This terrifying woman in black in front of her actually seemed very respectful to Lucas…
Even when Lucas saw Skylar slapping Karen, his expression didn’t change in the slightest.
In fact, if not for the fact that he was concerned about Cheyenne’s feelings, Lucas would have long stopped tolerating Karen.
He remained sitting and said indifferently, “Don’t think that no one knows about those evil things you’ve done. I have concrete proof. Initially, I should have sent you to prison for trying to harm my father-in-law twice!
“But for the sake of Cheyenne and Charlotte, I’m choosing to let you off once more. But remember, this is the last time. If you show up in front of us unrepentant and upset the both of them again or provoke me, you’d better think about what will happen to you!”
After speaking, Lucas grabbed a stainless steel wrench from the equipment box in the car and bent both ends lightly. The stainless steel sturdy tool instantly formed an arch!
Everyone watched in shock as his hands twisted and crumpled the wrench into a ball as though it was dough. Finally, he threw it onto the ground, and it landed in front of Karen with a loud clang.
Karen’s eyes were about to fall out!
When she heard the loud clang, she finally realized that it was a genuine wrench that weighed several pounds.
If Lucas used this force on her body, her neck and bones would definitely break since they were obviously not any more durable or harder than the wrench!
At the same time, she also saw the murderous intent buried deep in Lucas’s eyes. She suddenly shivered violently, and her teeth started chattering.
At this moment, she finally felt an unprecedented fear toward Lucas, her son-in-law she had always despised!
Lucas glanced at her one last time in disgust and said to Skylar, “Send her to the Turner residence in LA. Tell them to keep an eye on her and make sure that she never shows up in front of us again!”
“Yes, Lucas!” Skylar immediately agreed.
Karen naturally didn’t dare to say no.
Lucas got out of the car and watched Skylar and the others leave the hospital in the Nissan before walking toward the hospital impatiently.
But at this juncture, Lucas had no idea that Cheyenne had witnessed everything from upstairs.
She had just exposed Karen and stopped her from trying to kill William, but Karen was still her mother after all. Although she had told Karen to never show up in front of her and Charlotte again, she couldn’t help but go to the window to see her off for the last time.
This was most likely the last time she would be seeing Karen as a mother…
Cheyenne’s face was stained with tears as she watched Karen slowly walk toward the hospital’s main entrance.
But at this moment, Cheyenne was surprised to see Karen being pulled into an inconspicuous-looking car on the side of the road. Cheyenne was so frightened that she shrieked in horror and almost called the police.
Fortunately, she soon saw the familiar black Jaguar belonging to Lucas and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
She trusted Lucas and knew that he would never hurt Karen. She also guessed that he had probably already found out about Karen’s actions tonight, so he came here on purpose to give Karen a warning.
Soon, the car Karen was shoved into left while Lucas walked toward the hospital.
Although Lucas’s figure seemed rather small from above, he was still tall and reliable. Cheyenne suddenly felt aggrieved and miserable.
When the door of the ward opened and the upright figure walked in, Cheyenne immediately dashed over, hugged Lucas, and burst into tears.
The tears she had been suppressing for a long time rolled down her face.
Cheyenne cried her heart out in the embrace that made her feel at ease the most.
Since William got into a car accident and was diagnosed to be a vegetable, she had been really miserable, but she had still tried her best to suppress her feelings. Whenever she talked to William, she would try her best to talk only about happy things.
But this evening, she had witnessed the terrible act of her own mother trying to kill her father, putting her on the verge of breaking down!
Only when she was in Lucas’s embrace could she finally vent all her emotions.
Lucas hugged her back and wrapped his arms around her waist, allowing her to cry in his arms.
They hugged each other in tears, but their hearts became closer than ever.
——
At this moment, in a villa belonging to the Taylors in Orange County…
A chubby man in his forties or fifties was lying on a bed and snoring loudly in his sleep. There was a woman lying naked beside him, cuddled up in his arms.
Suddenly, an ear-splitting ringtone came from the cell phone he had placed on the bedside table, disrupting the silence of the night and jolting the man awake.
He picked up his phone in annoyance and lashed out at the person who called. “Why did you call so late at night? Do you want me to kill you immediately?”
The person on the other end didn’t dare to delay any further and hurriedly said, “Mr. Taylor, I have something important to report! Our people just found out that the woman named Karen Turner has been taken away from the hospital. I’ve sent someone to keep an eye on her whereabouts!”
This chubby man was none other than Scott Taylor, who belonged to one of the four most powerful families in the county. He was also the one who had tried to snatch Lucas’s villa to suck up to Marc Kingston.
Today, he had received a task from Marc’s subordinate—to destroy the Stardust Corporation within ten days.
Scott naturally learned from the Kingstons that Lucas was the true owner of the Stardust Corporation, and with a hint from them, he soon thought of a wonderful idea.
The people he sent to keep tabs on things at the hospital finally brought him some good news!
After Scott heard this piece of news, his annoyance diminished, and he immediately sat up straight on the bed. “Okay, immediately bring that woman Karen Turner to me! I need her for something!”
