Chapter 692: Exposing The Truth
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Roy had actually been killed by his biological aunt Wendy. So after she heard Lucas’s ambiguous words, her expression changed in astonishment.
In particular, Lucas’s suggestive gaze made her feel diffident because she had done something terrible that left her with a guilty conscience. Afraid of Vince suspecting her of being the culprit, Wendy had to call out to Lucas immediately.
If she remained silent and let Lucas leave, Vince would definitely suspect her!
Lucas stopped and said teasingly, “Mrs. Smith, why did you ask me to stop? Do you want to hear the details of the information I have? I thought you weren’t willing to let others know what you’ve done, especially this person next to you!”
The moment Wendy heard this, her fingers immediately tightened, and her face was full of shock.
Vince frowned and glanced at Wendy.
He wasn’t a fool, and he understood what Lucas meant. He knew Lucas was hinting to him that Roy’s death had nothing to do with him but with his cousin Wendy.
What else is Wendy hiding from me?
Wendy’s scalp tingled, and she immediately rebuked in anger, “Lucas Gray, what nonsense are you spouting? You’re clearly the one who killed my nephew Roy. Are you still trying to deny it now? How ridiculous of you to blame it on someone else! If you know my ident.i.ty, then you should know that I’m Roy’s aunt!
Seeing Wendy refusing to admit it and still trying to accuse him of being the murderer, Lucas sneered and revealed the things Wendy was hiding. “Heh, so what if you’re his aunt? Is he more important to you than your biological son and ex-husband?”
“You… you…” Wendy was so furious that she was at a loss for words.
At this moment, she really couldn’t describe the shock within her.
Only a few people were aware of her relations.h.i.+p with Moses and the fact that Marc was their son. Even the Smiths and her husband’s family had no idea. She was puzzled as to how Lucas managed to get this information.
She still didn’t know that her uncontrolled expression of extreme shock caused a trace of gloominess to appear in Vince’s eyes as he looked at her.
Lucas smiled faintly, “I’m sure you must be wondering how I know your secrets. After all, you must want to hide such a scandal from the Smiths, and not many people in this world should know it.
“Actually, it’s very simple. You should still remember Eli, the expert you sent to a.s.sa.s.sinate me in order to avenge your son and ex-husband, right?
“At the time, Eli thought I would definitely die, so he told me everything so that I could die knowing the reason for my death!
“Although I let Eli off, you’re actually accusing me of killing Roy Smith. In that case, you must have gotten rid of Eli too, huh?”
Lucas’s words were like sharp daggers piercing directly into Wendy’s heart, ripping open the facade she was trying so hard to maintain.
Wendy suddenly panicked and broke out into cold sweat, feeling as if she had plunged into an ice cellar.
Vince’s face became extremely gloomy.
He had no idea that his cousin Wendy had had an affair with another man and even given birth to a child decades ago.
But what Lucas said was reasonable, and he knew Eli, so he reckoned that Lucas wasn’t making things up.
Could it be that Wendy killed Roy and put the blame on Lucas Gray to get me to take revenge, thereby allowing her to avenge her ex-husband and son?
As soon as he thought of this possibility, his eyes were full of fury.
Seeing that things were going awry, Wendy hurriedly yelled menacingly, “What nonsense are you saying? Do you think you can sow discord between me and Vince just by making up some stories?”
“Heh, you should know best whether I’m talking nonsense or not!” Lucas said coldly. Then he stopped looking at them and turned around to leave.
“Hold it!” A burly figure suddenly blocked Lucas’s path. It was an elite bodyguard following Vince.
Lucas frowned and shouted angrily, “Get lost!”
An invisible aura immediately emanated from Lucas!
The bodyguard’s face stiffened, and he took a step back as if he was facing a great enemy. Then he gritted his teeth to hold on and rebuked, “Punk, Mr. Vince hasn’t given you permission to leave. How dare you go?”
Lucas sneered and kicked the bodyguard in the chest without saying anything.
Bang!
Lucas’s kick sent the bodyguard, who weighed nearly a hundred kilograms and was extremely muscular, flying far away. After landing on the floor of the hotel lobby a dozen meters away, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Mr. Smith, I’ve helped you teach your dog a lesson. You don’t mind, right?” Lucas smiled.
Vince’s face darkened.
The bodyguard had gone to stop Lucas and provoke him under his instructions. He wanted to test Lucas’s skills and find out if he was really as powerful as Wendy had said.
But Lucas’s kick immediately sent his bodyguard flying and crippled him.
Apart from the fact that Lucas was indeed rather powerful and good at fighting, there was no other information about his combat skills.
The middle-aged expert standing behind Vince whispered. “Mr. Smith, this punk isn’t simple! I’m not fully confident I can subdue him!”
Vince’s face became even gloomier.
Lucas smiled and turned around to walk away.
This time, no one dared to stop him.
As Vince watched Lucas’s back disappear around the corner of the hotel, the anger in his eyes grew stronger and stronger. But he tried his best to restrain it.
This was what his character was like. He had to be fully prepared before killing his enemy in one shot!
Until then, he would endure it for a while. He could still tolerate it!
Besides, aside from avenging his son, he had a more important purpose for coming to San Francisco this time. His goal was to dominate the entire California market and get the Smiths to become the true ruler of the state of California!
However…
Vince suddenly looked at Wendy next to him and said coldly, “Wendy, you’d better tell me the truth honestly.”
