Immediately afterward, William hurriedly walked up to the young man taking the lead, bowed, and said in a shaky voice, “Mr. Daniels! You’re here at such a late hour. I-is it because that loser didn’t pay you enough money? Don’t worry. I’ll tell him to return all the money to you immediately! He also offended you earlier, so you’re free to punish him as you wis.h.!.+ Please don’t hold it against me and my family!”
Karen had already guessed that they were the debtors whom William owed hundreds of thousands of dollars to. She heard William say that the people of that club were brutal and ruthless enough to kill and chop off people’s limbs!
She hurriedly pointed her finger at Lucas. “Sirs, the person you’re looking for is right there. Please don’t involve us! Besides, he’s going to divorce my daughter soon. Once he does, he will have nothing to do with our family anymore!”
When Cheyenne and Charlotte saw that the people of that club had actually come to look for them, they panicked and wanted to tell Lucas to run away.
But when they heard their parents’ words, they were instantly about to explode in exasperation.
Not only did they put all the blame on Lucas, but they also drew a line between Lucas and themselves to make these people deal with him.
“Dad! Mom! Lucas was the one who brought Dad home. How can you treat him like this?”
Seeing how eager William and Karen were to draw a line between themselves and Lucas, Daniels looked at them with contempt. Seems like this stupid couple still doesn’t know what kind of person their son-in-law is. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn’t talk to him like that.
Daniels walked toward Lucas, Cheyenne, and Charlotte. Despite feeling scared, the sisters mustered their courage to stand in front of Lucas righteously. Keeping their guards up and looking at Daniels warily, they said, “What are you doing? What happened today has nothing to do with him!”
Lucas was stunned, not expecting the two women to suddenly stand out and s.h.i.+eld him.
Apart from feeling surprised, Lucas was touched.
William and Karen were terrified of Daniels and his men, while the sisters, who had obviously guessed Daniels’s ident.i.ty, still dared to stand in front of him to protect him. Their bravery and loyalty were rare!
Lucas gently patted Cheyenne’s and Charlotte’s shoulders and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. It’s alright.” As he spoke, he walked out and stood in front of Daniels.
Smiling, Daniels took out a check from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Lucas with both hands. “Mr. Gray, I’m really sorry for accidentally hurting Mr. Carter in the clubhouse earlier. This check for 380,000 and these supplements are compensation for Mr. Carter.”
Daniels’s words immediately made all the Carters dumbfounded. They almost couldn’t believe their ears.
To their further surprise, Lucas said calmly, “The apology and compensation aren’t for me.”
“Yes, Mr. Gray! I’m so muddle-headed. Hahaha.” Daniels chuckled and bowed to Lucas apologetically.
Everyone watched in shock as Daniels walked to the dumbfounded William, bowed, and apologized again. He then stuffed the check into William’s hand.
Daniels then glanced at the two young men he brought behind him.
Without saying a word, these two young men kneeled directly in front of William and bowed. “I’m sorry, Mr. Carter. We shouldn’t have hit you. Please forgive us!”
Astonished, William was at a loss for words.
Daniels was a formidable figure in the Opulence, but he actually brought his men here to apologize. It seemed like something that would happen only in dreams!
William stood still on the spot, dumbfounded. He dared not believe it at all. However, Karen became brazen after hearing about the money, and she immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed the check away from William.
Looking at Daniels, who seemed refined and harmless and even apologized to them politely, Karen immediately stopped feeling as nervous as she was just now and said haughtily, “Hmph, we’ll accept your apology this time. But if you dare to get physical with William again, we won’t let it go so easily! What are you waiting for? Scram.”
Daniels looked up at Lucas, waiting for his instructions.
After all, he came here mainly to apologize to Lucas to convince him to drop the matter. He didn’t take William and Karen seriously at all!
Lucas nodded slightly. Only then did Daniels feel relieved and leave with his underlings.
After seeing Lucas nod and only then did Daniels leave, William finally came to a sudden realization.
In fact, William was not always foolish. He could tell that Daniels was here to apologize only because of Lucas.
The fact that Lucas came back from the clubhouse in one piece was strange too.
William glanced at Lucas before turning around to go back to his room.
But as soon as he entered, he grabbed the check from Karen’s hand and shouted, “This is compensation for me. Why are you s.n.a.t.c.hing it from me? When I was beaten up by them, you didn’t say you were going to save me, b.i.t.c.h. Didn’t you just say you want a divorce? Do you still want a divorce now?”
“d.a.m.n it! How can you be so self-righteous even though you gambled and lost so much money?” Karen immediately rushed forward and started screaming at him.
But this time, no one went forward to stop the fight.
Charlotte even seemed displeased. “Hah, they’re arguing all day. I really can’t stand it anymore.”
Cheyenne felt the same way too, especially since they would really scare Amelia.
After Lucas and Cheyenne returned to her room, they saw Amelia all huddled up and s.h.i.+vering in a corner.
Cheyenne gently lifted the duvet and called Amelia’s name. As soon as she did, Amelia pounced on her and grabbed her neck with tears in her eyes. “Mommy, I’m scared…”
Cheyenne and Lucas were heartbroken to see this, and they immediately pulled Amelia into their arms. Patting her on her back to comfort her, Cheyenne said, “Don’t be scared. Daddy and Mommy are home now. You don’t have to be scared anymore!”
“Daddy… Mommy, you two… weren’t at home, and Grandma and Grandpa kept arguing. It was so scary!” Amelia wailed while tugging their clothes.
The two of them comforted Amelia for a long time before she stopped crying and slowly dozed off.
Seeing how frightened their daughter was, the two of them were extremely upset.
Cheyenne suddenly said, “Lucas, let’s move out!”
