Chapter 177: Accomplice
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Dominic only had one biological son, and that was Bryce’s father. Unfortunately, he got into a fatal accident at a young age, and thus Dominic had only one direct grandson, Bryce. Although Bryce was extremely incompetent and often got into trouble, Dominic rarely reprimanded him and was certain that Bryce was his only successor.
He naturally loved and valued his only grandson.
But Bryce was now lying motionlessly on the ground, and it was unknown if he was dead or alive. Dominic was furious to see this.
Sarah shook Bryce a few times, but he remained unconscious. She had no idea how he had been knocked unconscious by Lucas and immediately glared at Lucas, wis.h.i.+ng she could stab him with her gaze!
“Lucas Gray, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d. How dare you beat my son up into such a state? I’m definitely going to make sure you die a horrible death! I’m going to crush you into pieces!” Sarah cursed viciously while holding Bryce’s head.
With a gloomy expression, Jordan hollered, “Shut up! If I hear you cursing Lucas again, I will beat you up even though you’re a woman!”
Sarah was so frightened that she shuddered. Usually, she commanded great authority in the Carter family and was almost above everyone. The rest of the Carters would all have to speak to her politely and deferentially. But Jordan simply disrespected her and even warned her with a menacing and murderous gaze in his eyes. She was certain that if she really shouted at Lucas again, Jordan would definitely rush forward and beat her up…
Since she couldn’t do anything to Lucas and Jordan, she could only turn her head and complain to Dominic sobbingly, “Dominic, you must get justice for Bryce! He’s the only direct descendant of the Carters, but he was beaten into such a terrible state. Who knows how badly he’s injured or if he can even regain consciousness… If Bryce really dies just like that, what are we supposed to do?!”
Dominic was exasperated now too. Bryce was his only grandson, and if something terrible were to happen to him, he definitely wouldn’t let Lucas off!
But Lucas had impressive combat skills and was ruthless enough. Besides, he also had a powerful subordinate like Jordan. With the power of the Carters alone, it was simply impossible for them to do anything to Lucas and Jordan. They could only wait for the experts sent by the Hales.
“Lucas Gray, what the h.e.l.l do you want? Why did you beat up my grandson like this for no rhyme or reason? If you don’t give me an explanation today, I won’t let you leave this place!” Dominic warned menacingly.
Lucas sneered. “No rhyme or reason? Old fogy, do you really not know why your grandson got beaten up?”
Lucas took a step forward and questioned, “Early this morning, Bryce Carter brought a group of people with an excavator to Cheyenne’s home and ordered them to smash a wall of the house with the excavator. Do you dare to say that you don’t know about this?”
Dominic said righteously, “That old residence is a property of the Carters in the first place. Since you people have been disowned, you naturally have no right to continue staying there! It’s up to me to demolish my house. What’s wrong with that?”
Lucas stared straight into Dominic’s eyes. “In that case, was it also your decision to get the excavator to demolish the house regardless of whether there were still people inside at the time?”
Dominic frowned. He had indeed agreed to Bryce’s request and gave him the t.i.tle deed of the house, which Bryce then used for the application of a certificate from the engineering company. He would rather demolish the house and flatten it to the ground than let Lucas and Cheyenne’s family continue staying in it.
But Lucas seemed to be saying that Bryce had ordered his people to demolish the house when they were still inside it.
If something went wrong, it might have resulted in several deaths!
That kid went overboard!
With a trace of displeasure on his face, Dominic gritted his teeth and retorted because he didn’t want to criticize his grandson in front of Lucas. “What happened afterward? Nothing happened to your family, right?”
Dominic was making guesses. He reckoned that if Cheyenne’s family had really been harmed, Lucas would have definitely come here in a rage and made a complete mess or killed all of them.
Dominic had already developed some intelligent observations after experiencing several encounters with the ruthless and merciless Lucas.
Lucas could tell from Dominic’s expression that it was Bryce’s presumptuous idea to demolish the house forcefully. After he figured out that Dominic didn’t issue that order, his urge to kill him lessened.
“Let me ask you again. Bryce Carter sent these urns to us and even said that he forgot to send a smaller urn for my daughter. Was that your idea too?”
Only then did Dominic realize that his grandson had also done such a thing. It was no wonder that Lucas said that he was just returning the urns to their original owners when they accused him of being malicious.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, where did you learn such despicable tricks?!”
Dominic’s face turned pale and extremely ugly. The Carters who just accused Lucas of being vicious looked at each other in dismay, not daring to say anything.
After all, the Carters had done that vicious act themselves.
If Lucas hadn’t returned the urns to them, they probably wouldn’t have known how uncomfortable and infuriating it was to have ash urns laid out in front of them.
At this moment, Dominic suddenly looked at Sarah, who was at the side. “Did you instigate Bryce to do those heinous things?”
Although Sarah was his daughter-in-law, she hadn’t been behaving properly, especially after Bryce was confirmed to be the next successor in line of the Carters. Since then, she had been high up in the air and was condescending to everyone else except Dominic, whom she was somewhat respectful toward on the surface.
Last night, Sarah heartbrokenly brought Bryce back from the hospital and then whispered to him about something for a long time.
Thus, he reckoned that she must have instigated Bryce to get up to such despicable means!
Startled by Dominic’s stern questioning, Sarah hurriedly defended herself, “Dominic, this matter really has nothing to do with me! Besides, what right does Lucas Gray have to say that Bryce was the one who sent them those urns? Maybe he staged it and made this all up himself! Anyway, Bryce is still unconscious now and can’t defend himself.”
Sarah’s words were reasonable and justifiable.
But when Dominic saw her s.h.i.+fty gaze, he knew that she was definitely lying and that she had definitely instigated Bryce to do those things!
