THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY

Chapter 369: Family of Bloodsuckers



Chapter 369: Family of Bloodsuckers

The person who spoke was none other than William.

Everyone watched in shock as William walked forward and said seriously, “Eddie, I’m very sure that what Lucas gave you is definitely authentic Civet Coffee of the best quality. It absolutely isn’t fake!”

William was naturally aware of Lucas’s character and assets. Lucas had a few hundred million on hand, so how could he possibly give a fake gift?

The fact that William was also supporting Lucas immediately made Eddie fly into a rage.

Anyone could tell that Eddie threw the bag of coffee beans into the garbage bin because he disliked Lucas. Yet William was now standing against Eddie to defend Lucas.

Many of the relatives began to change their expressions.

At this moment, Charlotte stood out too and said with a look of determination, “I believe that those coffee beans are authentic too!”

The young Amelia didn’t quite understand what was going on, so she simply held onto Lucas’s hand tightly and said in a puerile voice, “Daddy never lies!”

“...”

Cheyenne, Charlotte, William, and Amelia all stood on Lucas’s side because they believed that the coffee beans were authentic.

Eddie got even more infuriated and glowered at Karen.

Although he didn’t say anything, it was obvious what he meant. “Keep an eye on your husband and daughters!”

Karen panicked and stood up to holler at William, “William Carter, what nonsense are you saying? No one will think you’re a mute if you don’t say anything!”

She turned to look at her daughters and berated, “All of you are helping an outsider. Have you forgotten that I’m your biological mother? Lucas is just a good-for-nothing. How can he afford to give my dad a gift that costs a few thousand dollars? It’s obviously impossible! I wonder what he’s done to bewitch you and make all of you stand up for him?!”

Karen criticized Lucas in front of everyone again.

Although Lucas was now living in the most luxurious villa in Pearl Lake in Orange County, Karen still thought that Ethan Sawyer had given the villa to Lucas as a thank-you gift for saving his life and that there was no way Lucas could have afforded it on his own!

Lucas and the rest were now living in a large and comfortable villa, but Karen was made to live in a shabby apartment with William, making her feel even more resentful toward Lucas. So she started cursing out loud with no regard as to what the occasion was and the fact that many relatives were watching from the side.

“Hmph, Lucas is a good-for-nothing who sits around waiting for death all day. How can he afford such an expensive gift? He’s never bought a decent thing for me in the past few years even though I’m his mother-in-law, let alone give my parents any expensive gifts! He’s just clinging onto my daughter now that he knows that both my daughters have become the general managers of large corporations! How shameless!

“And you, William Carter, you’re not any better! You’ve been idling at home and doing nothing for the past few decades. Now that we’ve finally raised our daughters to adulthood, you chose to create some trouble and demand that I move out with you to live in poverty! You’re so heartless! I’m really unlucky to have married you!”

Karen’s cursing made many relatives of the Turners turn to look at Lucas and William with even more disdain and contempt.

“Tsk, tsk. These two men aren’t decent human beings at all!”

“Hah, I’ve heard before that William isn’t the biological son of Dominic Carter, so he’s been sponging off the family for years. He even makes Karen provide for them!”

“Is that true? Poor Karen! I thought she’d get to live a good life after marrying!”

“Hah, I heard that the Carters are on the verge of bankruptcy and that they even kicked Karen, William, and their daughters out. Tsk, tsk! So ruthless!”

“In that case, they all rely on Aunt Karen to make ends meet, huh? Her son-in-law is the same. He sponges off Cheyenne. He really takes after his father-in-law!”

...

Everyone began gossiping and going more and more overboard. Not only did they make Lucas sound like a good-for-nothing, but they even made William seem like he was freeloading off Karen.

“All of you, shut up! Don’t spout nonsense!” William suddenly roared furiously, giving the Turners and their relatives a great shock, and they immediately stopped talking.

In the hall, there was once again a peculiar silence.

The Turners and relatives all looked at William in shock and disbelief.

William and Karen had been married for around three decades. Apart from his ambitiousness in the beginning, he gradually became more and more incompetent in the later years. Not only did he obey Karen all the time, but he wouldn’t retort even when Karen scolded him.

But William now hollered at her in front of all her family.

It was completely unlike his usual behavior!

After William yelled at her, Karen immediately felt ashamed because she felt that he made her look bad.

“William, how dare you? This is the Turners’ home. Why are you being so fierce to me in front of my parents?! Do you think I’m being too nice to you?” Karen immediately shouted at William furiously.

William pointed at Karen and yelled even louder, “Bitch, shut up!”

His words immediately stunned Karen on the spot.

She was about to throw a fit to regain her lost pride, but William beat her to it.

“I don’t know what Karen has said to you to make you look down on me and my son-in-law, but I’m going to make it clear to you today. Karen and I have been married for decades, but I’ve never spent a single cent of hers! I even let her bring all the betrothal gifts and money home after our wedding!

“You say that I live off the Turners’ money? Hah! Why don’t we calculate how much money you have taken away from the Carters?!

“Come, let’s do the math. When Cheyenne and Lucas just got married six years ago, Cheyenne’s company, the Brilliance Corporation, had a bad reputation and faced countless crises. It was on the verge of closing down several times before. At the time, Alex Turner took his son, Dylan, to my home and asked for a loan. He said that he suffered heavy losses in investments and asked Karen to steal more than fifty thousand dollars from us. Later, she even made me accuse Lucas of being the one who stole the money!

“Five years ago, Dominic Carter took the Brilliance Corporation away from Cheyenne just after she gave birth to Amelia. Gretchen, when we were in need of money at the time, you said that your husband contracted a terminal illness and duped Cheyenne out of all her savings of more than forty thousand dollars. Afterward, you said it wasn’t enough and even made Karen transfer more money to you!

“These two villas were also bought with the money that Karen took from me and my daughters and secretly transferred to you!

“You took money from us several times. But just because I don’t want to say it out loud, it doesn’t mean that I don’t know! You call it a loan every single time, but have you ever returned a single cent? All of you are like bottomless pits that just keep taking money like nobody’s business! Now, you actually have the cheek to turn the tables and say that we rely on you to provide for us. Hah, this is hilarious! Karen Turner, have you ever asked your family to return me the money they took in the past few decades of our marriage?

“You people are just bloodsuckers who use your daughter to leech off of others. What right do you have to scold me and my son-in-law?”

William had probably been suppressing his anger for a long time and thus vented it all out now.

Karen’s jaw dropped, and she was at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, the Turners all became gloomy.
