Chapter 989: Stopping the Maliciousness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cheyenne had always been a smart person. She knew that since Lucas was getting stronger and stronger, he would face more and more enemies. So Cheyenne didn’t ask him who his enemies really were and merely said, “Okay, be careful then. I’ll be waiting for you at the Hales’!”
“Okay, wait for me,” Lucas assured solemnly and then looked at Stanley, who was at the side. “Stanley, the safety of my wife and daughter is in your hands! Please!”
Stanley immediately performed a military salute. “Yes, I promise to complete my mission and make sure they’re safe!”
In fact, if possible, Lucas wanted to send Cheyenne to the Hale residence personally. But now that both William and Charlotte were in trouble and the situation was urgent, Lucas had to save them as quickly as possible!
After leaving the Brilliance Corporation, Lucas immediately called Michael, who was far away in DC, and hollered furiously, “Michael Hutton! I want you to stop Jace Hutton’s crazy act immediately and make him release the people he’s holding hostage! Otherwise, I won’t spare him or the Huttons, even if it means breaking my oath!”
As soon as Michael picked up, he suddenly heard Lucas’s cold and furious voice and was completely stunned. After he regained his senses, he immediately asked, “What happened? What did Jace do? Did he kidnap your family?”
A murderous intent appeared in Lucas’s eyes as he said menacingly, “He abducted my father-in-law and had his men beat him up. He also abducted my sister-in-law, and her whereabouts are still unknown. I don’t know what he’s going to do next. Just now, he even sent an assassin after my wife! If I hadn’t arranged someone to save my wife in advance, she would have probably already been killed by him!”
After Michael heard Lucas’s accusations, his face instantly turned pale.
He never thought that his son Jace, who had always been well-behaved in front of him, would be so crazy as to target Lucas’s wife and family like that!
It was simply an inhumane act!
Michael was furious. If Jace was standing in front of him now, he would definitely slap his face hard several times!
“Lucas, don’t worry. I’ll definitely stop that bastard from doing such crazy things! But he’s your brother after all. I hope you’ll spare his life after you find him!”
Hearing this, Lucas was further enraged.
His wife had just experienced a near-death experience. His father-in-law and sister-in-law were still missing, and it was unknown if they were dead or alive. It was all Jace’s fault!
But Michael was actually still helping Jace to beg for mercy, wanting him to let him off. How ridiculous!
“Hah, I can spare him, but he must release my father-in-law and sister-in-law. And he must appear in front of me within fifteen minutes to kneel and apologize to me!
“Otherwise, I won’t spare him even if I have to hunt him to the ends of the earth!”
Lucas was strangely exasperated now.
If Jace hated him and wanted to take revenge, Lucas would be able to take it no matter what Jace threw at him.
But Jace didn’t dare to attack him openly and only had the guts to resort to unscrupulous means such as threatening Lucas with the lives of his loved ones. This had already touched Lucas’s bottom line!
The sound of kicking and punching coming from the phone earlier, as well as William’s muffled grunts, resounded in Lucas’s ears again.
If Jace appeared in front of Lucas now, he would probably strangle him to death.
At this moment, Michael, who was far away in DC, felt extremely distressed.
Both Lucas and Jace were his biological sons.
So Michael didn’t want to see the brothers killing each other.
Jace had indeed gone overboard this time. Michael could understand why Lucas was so mad that he wanted to kill Jace, but he didn’t want to see Lucas killing Jace because of it.
Michael was in great pain, but he could only promise, “Okay, I’ll make him release your father-in-law and sister-in-law. I’ll also make sure he kneels down and apologizes to you! Don’t worry!”
Then Michael hung up.
The most important thing to do now was to call Jace and tell him to stop immediately!
Lucas had a murderous look on his face as he put down the phone.
On the way to the Brilliance Corporation previously, Lucas had made several calls and deployed all his manpower to search for Jace, William, and Charlotte.
At this moment, Lucas’s phone rang again. It was a call from a subordinate who was proficient in telecommunications. “Lucas, I’ve already found William’s location based on the GPS position of his phone!”
“Okay, send it to me immediately!” Lucas immediately perked up.
Soon, the subordinate sent a map of the location to Lucas’s phone.
An astonishing murderous intent emerged from Lucas’s eyes as he looked at the map leading to the abandoned hospital on the outskirts of Orange County.
“I told you to get ready for me there!”
This place was still slightly far from Lucas’s current location. Lucas drove his black Jaguar to it.
When he was about to arrive at the abandoned hospital, it was already fifteen minutes past the time he had agreed on with Michael.
During this period of time, Lucas didn’t receive any news that William or Charlotte had been released.
This was enough to show that Michael’s attempt to persuade Jace had completely failed!
Since Michael had failed to stop Jace and make him release William and Charlotte, Lucas decided that he wouldn’t let Jace off again!
Lucas arrived at the abandoned hospital in his black Jaguar.
The hospital had been abandoned for a long time, so it was surrounded by weeds and garbage. The dilapidated five-story hospital was also extremely shabby and looked like it could collapse at any moment.
Most of the glass windows of the abandoned hospital were broken, revealing the darkness inside.
According to the location from his subordinate, William’s cell phone signal was indeed emitting from this place. In that case, Jace should be here!
As soon as Lucas opened the car door and was about to get out, he could acutely sense that there were indeed people in this hospital. There were also several aggressive auras, which should be from the experts Jace brought.
Lucas glanced at the windows and narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to get out of the car, his phone suddenly vibrated.
It was a call from Michael.
“Lucas, I… I couldn’t convince that bastard. If you’re angry, feel free to beat him up, but I beg you to spare his life, okay?”
As soon as Lucas answered, Michael’s pleading voice came from the other end.
