Julian had an exceptionally gloomy look on his face. “It seems that this kid is indeed quite arrogant. How dare he look down on the Peerless Martial Association and kill my brother? I will never let him off!”
Axel hurriedly said, “Mr. York, it’s also my fault that I’m not capable enough to beat that kid Lucas Gray, so I had no choice but to ask for help from the headquarters. But fortunately, a top expert like you came. Once you make a move, that punk definitely won’t be able to escape!”
While speaking, he flattered Julian.
Julian wasn’t moved at all. He merely stared at him coldly. “I naturally have no qualms about avenging my brother. But if I find out one day that you got up to some nonsense, you should know what I’m capable of!”
Axel’s heart skipped a beat, afraid that Julian had discovered something, His heart was about to leap out of his chest.
But fortunately, he was experienced and sly, so he still had good control over his facial expression. Making himself look as sincere as possible, he said earnestly with a tinge of grievance, “Mr. York, I won’t dare to tell any lies to you to fool you! I’m telling the truth. Everything is true!”
“Hmph, I bet you wouldn’t dare!” Julian snorted coldly. “Where was my brother before something happened to him?”
Since Axel claimed that he had been investigating Jude’s disappearance for a long time, it was impossible that he wouldn’t be able to find out such a trivial matter.
Axel quickly said, “The Taylor residence in Orange County! At that time, Jude received a request for help and went there. There are records in the branch! But since then, Jude has never returned.
“We also went to the Taylors to ask about it. However, they said that Jude had indeed gone to their place that day, but he soon left. They don’t know where he went afterward.”
Julian pondered for a moment before narrowing his eyes slightly. “Hmph, regardless of whether there’s anything wrong with the Taylors, I have to make a trip there! Immediately arrange a driver and a car for me.!”
“Yes, Mr. York!” Axel knew that Julian was about to take action. He was overjoyed, so he immediately agreed and proceeded to make the arrangements.
Only when he saw the black Bentley carrying Julian and vanishing at the intersection did Axel feel relieved, feeling as if a boulder had been lifted off his chest. He was completely relaxed.
Moreover, it was nly at this moment that he finally discovered that his singlet was drenched in sweat. He had unknowingly broken out in cold sweat.
It indeed required great emotional capacity to lie in front of a terrifying expert like Julian.
Heath walked over and said with a smile on his face, “Sir, don’t worry. As long as Julian York makes a move, Lucas Gray will die for sure! And we’re not exactly framing him. After all, Jude died for no apparent reason, and Lucas Gray is the greatest suspect.
“Besides, even if he really didn’t kill Jude, he can only blame himself for behaving too arrogantly and courting disaster.” Heath smiled insidiously.
After thinking about it, Axel laughed. “That’s right. He only has himself to blame! I hope Julian’s trip goes well and he beheads that punk. That way, I’ll be able to take California back!”
But if Julian fails, I will be in great danger.
But this is almost impossible!
Axel thought with certainty.
In the Taylor residence in Orange County
It was just after six o’clock in the evening, the time when ordinary people generally started eating dinner. The Taylors were no exception either.
But there were only three people at the Taylors’ dining table.
Frederick initially had three sons, Gaston, Preston, and Scott.
But not long ago, Preston and Scott had died one after another because they were involved in a series of events related to Karen. Now, Gaston was Frederick’s only remaining son.
The third person at the table was Gaston’s daughter, Gisele, the heiress of the Taylors.
The Taylors had lost many descendants, so Frederick particularly doted on his granddaughter Gisele. In fact, even after dinner, he deliberately asked Gisele to accompany him and have a chat in the courtyard.
Frederick looked at his granddaughter, who had grown up well, and suddenly remembered that she was still unmarried.
For some reason, a domineering figure surfaced in his mind, and he couldn’t help being shocked.
In fact, there wasn’t a large age gap between Gisele and Lucas, and their backgrounds were also quite compatible. He reckoned that he wouldn’t have to worry about the Taylors’ development in the future if he could matchmake Gisele with him.
Perhaps because Frederick had been staring at Gisele for too long, she couldn’t help finding it strange.
“Grandpa, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?” Gisele deliberately asked playfully.
Frederick returned to his senses, but he still wanted to try asking. “Gisele, you saw everything that happened at the Elite Business Exchange that day. I want to ask you. What do you think about Lucas Gray?”
As soon as she heard this question, her face became extremely complicated.
To be honest, she didn’t want to hear Lucas’s name at all now.
She and Lucas had probably met about five times in total.
The first time was at the entrance of the Wallaces’ Club Splendor, where she had wanted to use Lucas as a shield to avoid the incompetent Kyle’s pursuit. She had tried to ask him to pretend to be her boyfriend, only to have him reject her on the spot.
She felt belittled, and her ego was bruised. Thus, she deliberately incited Kyle to teach Lucas a lesson. But instead, Lucas taught Kyle a lesson and warned her sternly.
That time, Gisele had a terrible first impression of Lucas.
The second time was at the auction in Club Splendor, where she chanced upon a conflict between Lucas and Marc, Liam, and Kyle. But the rich scions ended up on the losing end, while Lucas bought all the beauties up for auction that day.
At the time, Gisele was still very uncomfortable with Lucas’s arrogance, but she had no choice but to admit that he did seem to be very rich, as he had spent tens of millions to buy multiple women. He was completely like a lecherous upstart with nowhere to spend his money.
Gisele was disgusted with Lucas after her first two encounters with him.. Afterward, the third meeting made her impression of him worsen to the point that she hated him to the core!
