Chapter 286: Not Allowed To Show Up
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After receiving a sudden slap on his face by Lucas, James was naturally incredibly enraged. But when he saw Lucas’s cold gaze, he felt as though ice-cold water had been poured over his head, and his anger dissipated a little.
James finally regained some rationality, and he subconsciously recalled the several conflicts that he had had with Lucas, as well as the consequences that he had had to bear after each of them.
During the first dispute they had at Amelia’s kindergarten, Lucas kicked him away without mercy. And his subordinate Jordan, who was just as terrifying, managed to beat up James’s underlings all by himself. Until now, those underlings had still yet to be discharged from the hospital.

Later on, during the conflict at the hotel restaurant, Lucas had beat the living daylights out of James’s elite bodyguards, whom he had spent a bomb on. Since then, James knew that Lucas was not to be provoked.
But he had forgotten about all of this in a moment of rage just now!
Now, he had also figured out that Lucas must have been the one who tore off Chris’s hand into this gruesome state!
A sudden chill surged in James’s heart.
For someone who had the ability and was enough fearless to casually rip off the hand of the helmsman of the Douglas family, it probably would be a piece of a cake for him to deal with James!
“d.a.m.n it. You must have a death wis.h.!.+” Seeing James being shamed in public, his bodyguards immediately surrounded Lucas.
“Stop! Get lost!” James hurriedly roared furiously and chased his bodyguards out of the room. d.a.m.n it. I would be in a worse plight if I let these foolish bodyguards get into a fight with Lucas Gray!
James finally had the time to think carefully about what Lucas had said earlier and figure out why he had kept Sharon’s photos and videos… It must have something to do with this shameless b.i.t.c.h!
James yanked at Sharon’s hair and slapped her face twice. He barked sternly, “b.i.t.c.h, what exactly did you do to Mr. Gray? Have you provoked him again?”
Sharon screamed in a shrill voice. Her face had long become swollen, and her lips were also bleeding from the beating she got from James. At this point, she was full of fear and horror, but in the face of James’s angry questioning, she dared not hide a single thing.
“I… I ran into his wife and her parents, and we got into a scuffle. I-I was furious, and I couldn’t take it lying down, so I looked for Chris and borrowed a few of his bodyguards to go beat up his… father-in-law. His father-in-law pa.s.sed out, and afterward… I have no clue what happened after that…”
Sharon stammered. James glared at her murderously while she shuddered, and her voice became softer. Toward the end, she was almost inaudible.
“As expected, you’re the cause of all of this again, you b.i.t.c.h! I’ve already warned you several times before not to provoke Mr. Gray and his family again. Why can’t you just listen to me?! Are your brains not working?! d.a.m.n it. If not for the sake of my son, I would have kicked you out a long time ago!”
James was livid. After berating Sharon, he turned around and apologized to Lucas softly. “Mr. Gray, I didn’t expect this b.i.t.c.h to be so unrepentant and actually have the nerve to provoke you and your family. I’ve clearly given her several warnings, and this matter is a result of my failure to take her in hand. I’m really sorry. I’ll pay for all the medical expenses of your injured father-in-law. As for this shameless troublemaker, you can kill her or do whatever you wis.h.!.+”
James couldn’t be any more infuriated with Sharon. He had long fallen out of Sharon, whose weight had gotten out of control and whose family had declined to the point that they were no longer of any help to him. Yet she still went around causing trouble and giving him more problems everywhere. He had long wanted to kick her out.
James’s words made Sharon panic. Her family had already declined, and if James divorced her, what could she do for the rest of her life?
Besides, James was even intending to let Lucas deal with her as he pleased. The b.l.o.o.d.y scene of Lucas ripping off Chris’s hand resurfaced in Sharon’s mind, causing her to turn ashen.
Overwhelmed with fear, Sharon fell to her knees with a loud thud, no longer caring about her pride and dignity anymore.
Kneeling in front of Lucas, she wept and pleaded for mercy, “Mr. Gray, please spare me! I promise I will never dare to do anything like this again!”
Lucas didn’t pay any attention to her and simply said to James, “From now on, I don’t want to see this woman in Orange County again.”
Taken aback by his answer, James blurted out, “That’s all?”
“Do you think I should be harsher?” Lucas asked sneeringly.
“No, no.” James hurriedly shook his head. “Thank you so much for your generosity and magnanimity, Mr. Gray. I promise that this woman will never step foot into this city again, and she will never bother you anymore!”
Then James kicked Sharon with his toes and hollered, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and thank Mr. Gray for being kind and magnanimous to spare your lowly life!”
At this point, Sharon finally recovered from her shock, and she realized that Lucas didn’t intend to give her any unbearable punishment and merely wanted her to never appear in Orange County again. Compared to all the gruesome and brutal scenes she had imagined just now, this was simply better than an amnesty!
“Yes, thank you so much, Mr. Gray. Thank you so much!” Sharon thanked profusely while still kneeling on the ground.
But Lucas no longer had the patience to argue with them. He simply walked out of the door, followed by Zach and the redhead hurriedly chasing after him.
When they headed downstairs and reached the entrance of the villa, they could still hear the noises coming from upstairs.
“You’re such a disgraceful b.i.t.c.h! Once we get home, pack up immediately and stay far, far away from Orange County. You’re not allowed to step foot here again!”
“Okay, I’ll go, I’ll go. But… our son is still so young. He…”
“Shut up! b.i.t.c.h, trust you to have the cheek to bring up our son. Did you remember that you’re our son’s mother when you were getting intimate with Chris Douglas on this bed? Scram! You’re not allowed to see our son again either!”
“Ah!”
…
The redhead pursed his lips. Everything he had seen and experienced alongside Lucas today was a huge eye-opener for him and would always remain as an unforgettable encounter that he would talk about for the rest of his life!
As soon as Lucas stepped out of the villa, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Cheyenne.
“h.e.l.lo, Cheyenne, how’s William?” Lucas asked concernedly after answering.
