Chapter 141: You’ve Misunderstood
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As soon as Logan heard Lucas’s cold and merciless voice, he instantly shuddered, especially because Lucas’s words made him feel terrified.
But before he could say anything to beg for mercy again, Jordan responded loudly, “Yes, Lucas!”
Jordan pinched Logan’s still-intact left ankle and tightened his grip, breaking his ankle immediately!
“Ah! Ah! My ankle!” Logan shrieked miserably with tears and mucus all over his face. The pain of having his ankle broken made him almost die of pain, but he couldn’t faint.
“Ugh, you sound like a pig getting slaughtered. You’re so noisy!” Jordan glanced at Logan in disdain and then kicked him on his nape. Logan’s eyes rolled into the back of his head as he pa.s.sed out.
Jordan dragged Logan out of the house by his leg as though he was a dead dog. Soon, they vanished.
Only then did Lucas move his hands away from Amelia’s eyes and ears and carry her over.
Ever since Jordan suddenly appeared and clamped down on Logan’s leg, Grace had been standing at the door of the room, dumbfounded and zoning out. After witnessing the scene in front of her that seemed like a dream, she was speechless for a long time.
The hypocritical and vicious sc.u.m Logan Hale, who had imprisoned her and even tried to force himself on her, was actually dragged away like a dog. He was powerless, and all his desperate begging was to no avail.
And the powerful person who put him in such a state was Amelia’s kin…
Amelia was sitting on Lucas’s arm with one of her arms wrapped tightly around his neck. When she saw Grace standing dumbfounded at the entrance of the room, she exclaimed gleefully, “Aunt Grace! Daddy really came to pick me up! That big bad guy was beaten up and taken away. You don’t have to be scared anymore!”
Only then did Grace figure out that the handsome man in front of her who looked extremely young was Amelia’s father, whom the latter had been clamoring about.
Besides, Amelia’s father was indeed very powerful, as he had taught Logan a lesson and gotten rid of him.
From now on, she would finally be free from the shackles of that devil. She would now be able to enjoy freedom!
Grace was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. She started choking and sobbing and was at a loss for words as she looked at Lucas with her eyes full of grat.i.tude.
After Lucas saw Grace, he was a little surprised. The woman in front of him looked extremely young but gorgeous. Moreover, she was sophisticated and elegant, and her waist-length hair gave her the refined and gentle air of a cla.s.sical beauty.
It was no wonder that the sc.u.mbag Logan would want to hold her captive here.
Just now, when he and Jordan were making their way over stealthily, they had overheard the conversation between Grace and Logan and also saw how much she liked and defended Amelia.
“Daddy, Aunt Grace is really nice. She was playing with me just now, and she was even going to teach me how to bake a large cake. Too bad that bad guy suddenly came over, and we didn’t get to bake the cake… If Aunt Grace hadn’t protected me just now, that bad guy would have beaten me up!” Amelia hurriedly said to Lucas with her round cheeks puffed up.
“Thank you for taking care of my daughter.” Lucas thanked Grace solemnly.
When he found Amelia in the small room just now, she was obviously in a good state and wasn’t too badly frightened. Furthermore, there were dolls, coloring books, snacks, and other things that children liked around her, which were obviously thanks to Grace.
Grace had agreed to Logan’s request mainly because she was concerned about Amelia. A stranger whom she had not known for long actually went that far for his daughter. Lucas was indeed very grateful.
Grace raised her hand, wiped the tears running down her face, and said embarra.s.sedly, “You don’t have to thank me. I actually didn’t do anything… I ought to thank you and Amelia instead. If it weren’t for you guys, I might have been violated by that… You guys saved me, so you’re my benefactors. I will always remember your kindness!”
Grace bowed to Lucas.
Lucas hurriedly helped Grace up. “It was just a small favor. I can’t accept this.”
Lucas then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Grace. “This is my business card. My name is Lucas Gray. No matter what trouble you encounter in the future, you can call me and I’ll help you.”
Lucas didn’t mind helping Grace since she had been very kind to Amelia.
Grace took the business card, which only had his name and contact number on it.
“Mr. Gray, I’m Grace Keller,” Grace said. She didn’t have a business card with her.
“Alright, Miss Keller, you can go now. Logan Hale will never be able to threaten you again in the future. I’ll take Amelia home first. Goodbye,” Lucas said with a smile. Then he turned around to leave while carrying Amelia in his arms.
“Goodbye, Aunt Grace! You’re welcome to come and play at our house!” Amelia twisted her body in Lucas’s arms and waved goodbye to Grace.
With a joyful smile that she hadn’t had in a long time, Grace waved at them. “Okay! Goodbye!”
At the door, Jordan had already taken Logan away, but there was a car left for Lucas.
Lucas drove while Amelia sat obediently in the back seat with her seatbelt fastened. During the journey, she kept chattering nonstop about how nice Grace had been to her.
Lucas smiled while listening to Amelia. It seemed that she wasn’t frightened today. He was thankful for that!
Soon, they arrived back home.
Charlotte, who had also been worried for a long time, immediately dashed out when she heard the sound of the car being driven into the driveway. She saw Lucas carrying Amelia in and sighing before putting her down.
Cheyenne had been working overtime at the office, but she had already returned home. Upon seeing Lucas and Amelia, she was a little bewildered. “Where were you guys? Why did you come home so late?”
Lucas and Charlotte hadn’t told Cheyenne that Amelia had been taken away by Scarlet Wright and that Charlotte had been forced to go to Logan Hale’s bar for fear that she would be worried.
Now that he had brought Amelia back home safely and nothing had happened to Charlotte either, they planned to hide the dangerous situation that happened just now from Cheyenne.
Lucas was trying to find a random topic to talk about when Amelia leaped into Cheyenne’s arms merrily and exclaimed, “Mommy! I played at Aunt Grace’s place today. She’s as pretty as a fairy! She’s so nice. She played dolls with me, told me stories, and was going to teach me how to bake a huge cake!
“But before we got to bake the cake, a bad guy came. Mommy, let’s invite Aunt Grace over next time. I like her so much!” Amelia blinked her large, watery eyes again and looked at Lucas. “Daddy, let’s go to play with Aunt Grace tomorrow, okay?”
When Cheyenne heard Amelia say these words in her puerile voice, her expression changed. She looked at Lucas with a complicated gaze, her heart full of a mix of emotions that was hard to describe.
