THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY - Season 2 Episode 69

Tears of anxiety welled up in Charlotte’s eyes, and she was about to burst into crying.

She begged Lucas to let Bryce go. Of course, it was not for Bryce but because she was worried that Lucas would be charged with murder.

Lucas didn’t want to really strangle Bryce to death now. Just like what Charlotte said, it wouldn’t be worth getting charged for murder because of scum like Bryce.

Of course, if he really wanted to kill him, there were countless ways to do it without any consequences.

Lucas finally let go of his hand.

With a loud thud, Bryce fell hard onto the ground and fell limp. Clutching his throat in pain and coughing several times, he started panting heavily.

For Bryce, who was almost strangled to death, each breath of air was extremely precious!

Seeing Bryce slowly recovering, Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief. God knows how afraid she was that Bryce might have been strangled to death just now!

In the distant corner, Karen was also clutching her chest, paralyzed by fear. She didn’t expect Lucas would be so ruthless as to almost strangle Bryce to death.

Just as Bryce was sitting on the ground and enjoying the euphoria of surviving a near-death experience, Lucas’s devilish voice sounded in his ears. “Do you have any last words? I will relay them to the Carters for you.”

These words made Bryce feel like he had been banished to hell!

He was so frightened that he shuddered and peed his pants right on the spot. “I… I am the only heir of the Carters. You can’t kill me! Otherwise, Grandpa won’t let you off! We’re also friends with the Brookes, the Hales, and… many other wealthy families in Orange County. If you kill me, they won’t spare you nor your wife and daughter!”

After Lucas heard Bryce’s last words, his face turned gloomier, and his voice was as icy cold as the ice in the depths of Siberia. “You know, I hate it when people threaten me with my wife and children. I don’t mind telling you that Cheyenne and Amelia are my Achilles’ heel, and anyone who tries to touch them both will have to die!

“So, go die now. If you don’t have any more nonsense to say, I’ll send you on your way now.”

Lucas’s cold words made Bryce shiver. Ignoring the others, he grabbed the hem of Lucas’s pants and knelt down to beg for mercy. “Lucas! I beg you! Please spare me this time! I promise that I will never do anything to Cheyenne and Amelia again! I definitely won’t dare to do anything to you again, I swear!”

Charlotte gently tugged Lucas’s sleeve and said, “Lucas, calm down. Don’t end up killing someone…”

“W-what’s going on? Did something happen?” A soft and doubtful voice sounded.

Cheyenne’s figure reappeared at the entrance of the Carter residence’s courtyard. She had just sent Amelia to the kindergarten before hurrying back. She was now looking at the scene in front of her with a look of surprise, especially at Bryce kneeling at Lucas’s feet and weeping miserably. It completely exceeded her imagination.

Charlotte hurriedly scurried over and said to Cheyenne anxiously, “Cheyenne, quickly go and persuade Lucas. Tell him not to kill Bryce!”

Cheyenne panicked. She finally understood why Bryce was kneeling in front of Lucas while weeping and begging miserably.

She hurriedly ran over and looked at Lucas nervously. “Lucas, don’t be rash. Let him off!”

Lucas looked at the anxious and nervous look on Cheyenne’s face, but he remained unmoved. “You saw what happened today. He sent someone to demolish the house without any regard for our safety. He almost hurt you guys, and he even sent urns to us afterward. He didn’t even spare Amelia, a young child. If I let him off, he’ll still threaten you guys again and again in the future. I will never allow it!”

Bryce hurriedly assured, “Lucas, I promise I will never provoke and cause trouble for your family again! I definitely won’t!”

Lucas sneered. “You’ve said those words countless times before, but you’ve gone back on your word every single time. I can’t trust you at all. No matter what, you must die today!”

His face was expressionless, and he was like a cold statue.

It was the first time Cheyenne had seen such a cold and ruthless side of Lucas. She was stunned.

He was totally different from the Lucas who would always speak to her gently and play with Amelia.

All of a sudden, Cheyenne’s heart was filled with a strange feeling.

After a while, she said, “Lucas, can you…”

“I’m sorry, Cheyenne.” Before she could finish, Lucas interjected, “If it were anything else, I would listen to you. But Bryce Carter is incorrigible and beyond redemption. If I let him off today, he will hurt you and Amelia. I can’t take that risk. So he must die today.”

Lucas’s attitude was extremely firm. Cheyenne furrowed her eyebrows slightly. She couldn’t think of any words that she could say to change his mind.

To be fair, Bryce had indeed done countless vicious things that repulsed her. She absolutely hated him too.

But she always felt that since he was a Carter, she had asked Lucas to let him off on account of their kinship time and time again in hopes that he could turn over a new leaf.

But now, Bryce was still unrepentant, and he even went from bad to worse. Lucas had already lost his patience with him and was bent on killing him.

What should I do?

Just as Cheyenne lowered her head and was thinking about a strategy, Bryce, who was still kneeling at Lucas’s feet, crying and begging, suddenly whipped out a dagger with an icy cold glint. Then he sprung up and dashed at Cheyenne with the dagger pointing at her.

Bryce didn’t want to kill her. He just wanted to use it to hold her hostage to force Lucas to let him go.

As soon as he escaped from this place, he would tell his grandfather that they should hire more experts to cripple Lucas even if they had to use all their resources!

Seeing Bryce springing up and swiftly charging toward Cheyenne, Charlotte shrieked in horror, “Ah! Cheyenne, be careful!”

Lucas’s face turned cold. None of them saw Bryce’s sudden outburst coming. Besides, he was very close to Cheyenne, and she wouldn’t be able to react in time. It was almost too late to stop him!

Without hesitation, Lucas flashed and appeared in front of Cheyenne.

The sharp dagger stabbed all the way into Lucas’s chest, digging as far as it could until the blade disappeared!

Crimson blood spewed out of Lucas’s chest and reflected in the eyes of everyone, who was shell-shocked.
