1216 Lesson to Lucas
When Lucas saw Charlotte’s phone number, he had an ominous feeling.
But he still answered immediately.
As soon as the call connected, the sounds of wind and rain spread from the other end.
“Lucas Gray! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you actually had an affair with Lena Sawyer! How could you let… let my sister down like that?”
!!
Just as Lucas was about to explain, Charlotte didn’t give him any chance and lashed out furiously, “When I saw that b.i.t.c.h Lena Sawyer holding your arm in San Francisco, I knew something was off. Have long have you been having an affair? Trust you to say that there was nothing between you two. Psht! I won’t believe you again!
“Lucas, I know you’re a big shot now, not only in California but also DC. No one dares to provoke you, right? But no matter how powerful you are, you can’t bully my sister!
“Let me tell you. If you dare to mistreat my sister, I will definitely fight you to the death! Do you hear me? You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you’ve really infuriated me. So much for treating you like my idol. Hmph!”
Charlotte harrumphed coldly and hung up without giving Lucas a chance to explain.
“…” Lucas looked at his phone at a complete loss for words. He couldn’t describe his feelings at all.
Even Charlotte had misunderstood and thought that he had really had an affair with Lena and betrayed Cheyenne. Lucas felt wronged and angry.
Although he still didn’t know who was scheming against him and took the photos and sent them to Cheyenne, he knew that it wasn’t the time to investigate and lose his temper.
The most important thing now was to contact Cheyenne as soon as possible and clarify his relations.h.i.+p with Lena so that she wouldn’t get the wrong idea!
But he still couldn’t get through to Cheyenne and could only call Charlotte in hopes that she would help him put in a good word.
But Charlotte was still fuming, so she refused to answer his calls. Whenever Lucas called, she would end the call immediately.
Lucas didn’t give up and made more than ten calls in a row before Charlotte finally picked up.
“Lucas! Why do you keep calling? Do you know how heartbroken Cheyenne is? She’s been crying in the room after seeing those photos. Her eyes are swollen from crying!
“How could you do this to my sister? When you had nothing to your name, Cheyenne married you despite everyone’s scorn. After you left without a word and disappeared overnight, my sister was all alone and faced the mockery of countless people. She even gave birth to Amelia alone and raised her to this age by herself!
“And she finally waited so long for you to come back and get rid of the label of a useless live-in son-in-law, yet you immediately had an affair with another woman! You’ve really disappointed me!
“If… if you really make Cheyenne so upset that something happens to her, I will never forgive you! Even if I had to risk my life, I won’t let you off! I’ll make sure you don’t live well!”
With that, Charlotte hung up again without hesitation.
Staring at his phone, Lucas smiled bitterly.
Charlotte refused to listen to his explanation at all.
But considering from another perspective, Lucas could understand how Charlotte and Cheyenne felt.
After all, the angles of the photos were indeed problematic, as they were deliberately taken to make him and Lena look extremely intimate. Others would naturally a.s.sume that something had happened between them.
It just so happened that Cheyenne had returned to Orange County and wasn’t in DC, so the photos would definitely make her suspicious.
A couple who truly loved each other certainly wouldn’t be able to accept this.
Charlotte and Cheyenne had always been very close to each other. If Lucas had really wronged Cheyenne, it was understandable that Charlotte would be furious.
Moreover, Lucas had been drunk in the hotel that day, so he wasn’t sure what had happened.
He still hadn’t figured out if Lena had taken the photos and leaked them.
Since Cheyenne refused to answer his calls and Charlotte refused to give him a chance to explain, he could only wait until he returned to Orange County tomorrow to explain to them.
“Ah!” Lucas heaved a long sigh and rubbed his face, depressed.
…
Meanwhile, in the Pearl Lake villa in Orange County…
After hanging up angrily, Charlotte looked at Cheyenne, who was lying beside her.
However, Cheyenne wasn’t actually crying to the point that her eyes were swollen, unlike what Charlotte had said. Instead, she was lying peacefully on the bed with a helpless expression.
“Charlotte, did we go overboard? Actually, I believe Lucas won’t betray me. You should have given him a chance to explain!” Cheyenne sighed. “Who knows? Maybe those photos were edited. We should have listened to Lucas’s explanation instead of judging him immediately.”
Charlotte said firmly, “Sis, regardless of whether those photos are real or not, you have to act like you’re extremely angry and ignore him so that we can teach him a lesson!”
“I wasn’t talking nonsense either. When we attended the business exchange in San Francisco, I happened to see Lena holding Lucas’s arm and leaning very close to him. Her expression changed drastically when she saw me. Hmph, she definitely had a guilty conscience!”
“I wanted to tell you about it, but they said that I misunderstood and that Lucas was just helping her walk because of her heels. I was scared that you’d be upset after finding out, so I didn’t tell you about it. But I didn’t expect… something like this to happen again!
“Cheyenne, as you can see, Lucas is no longer the good-for-nothing whom everyone looks down on. He’s very powerful now, and his status is rising rapidly. Even among the eight top families of DC, there are probably many people who want their daughters to marry him.
“Even I feel a sense of crisis. If you don’t take this chance to teach Lucas a lesson, what will happen if he really betrays you in the future?”
Charlotte turned over, looked Cheyenne in the eyes, and said firmly, “So even if there’s really nothing between him and Lena this time, we have to express our att.i.tude and give a warning. This will not only make him keep a distance from Lena but also from other women so that he won’t make a mistake. Otherwise, it will be too late then!”
