The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

Chapter 526: Good Show

Scott grabbed Karen’s hair and barked at the underlings beside him, “All of you, get lost!”

Soon, only Scott and Karen were left in the villa.

“You know how to serve me well, right?” Scott cupped Karen’s chin and reached his hand into her shirt.

“Yes! I promise to serve you comfortably!”

——

Several hours later, Lucas stood on the upper floor of his villa and watched the darkness of the night fade away as the faint light of dawn slowly rose. But a hint of anxiety lingered in his heart.

The people who went to search for Bald Lee and Karen had yet to return with good news.

This meant that Karen was either still in his hands or had already met with a mishap.

Although he didn’t care whether Karen was dead or alive, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to Cheyenne and Charlotte if something happened to her after she was taken away from him.

But Lucas had already sent all the subordinates he could, so he could only stay at home to wait for news.

Just as the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into his eyes, which were full of weariness because he hadn’t slept all night, the cell phone in front of him suddenly rang.

“Mr. Gray, we’ve found Bald Lee!” Bruce said over the phone.

“Where is he?” Lucas immediately asked.

Bruce’s voice lagged for a moment before he continued, “Uh… Bald Lee is already dead. We only found his corpse.”

“What? Dead?” Lucas revealed a look of great surprise, but his face soon became gloomy. “Where’s Karen?”

Bruce said carefully, “Sorry, we haven’t found her yet…”

Lucas frowned.

He didn’t care that Bald Lee was dead, but he had an ominous feeling because he didn’t know if Karen was dead or alive.

Since last night, there had been several questions hovering in Lucas’s heart.

Karen was just an uncouth and vicious woman. Although she was detestable, she knew to pick her battles wisely and often bullied the weak while fearing the strong. So it was unlikely that she was facing the revenge exacted by a powerful person she provoked.

Of course, in order to rule out this possibility, Lucas had also asked people to check if Karen had offended any big shot with a powerful background in recent years. In the end, the only thing discovered was Karen’s feud with James Wilson’s wife, Sharon, because of the jade bracelet incident.

However, Lucas had chased Sharon out of Orange County later, and James Wilson had also been behaving himself. He thought that it was unlikely that they took revenge on Karen.

In addition, Karen’s maiden family was just an ordinary farmer’s family. Moreover, she and William had been disowned by the Carters, so she shouldn’t have been implicated even if the Carters’ enemies were striking them.

So the only possibility was that they were targeting him by abducting Karen.

Moreover, Bald Lee was an expert at using the swords, and Bruce’s words last night also confirmed that the people who could hire him were definitely affluent.

Bald Lee’s death also proved that the force behind the person who snatched Karen had to be powerful. Its strength should at least be similar to that of the four major families.

In that case, he could only use the elimination method to think about who the mastermind behind it was likely to be.

Of the four major families in Orange County, the Sawyers and the Hales were on his side, while the Taylors and the Wallaces were not.

Of course, the Kingstons and Bensons from San Francisco both had grudges against him too, so they were likely suspects as well.

As for the Huttons in DC, they were also very likely to attack him. But they were extremely powerful and should disdain to do such trivial things. Even if the Huttons wanted to use Karen to deal with him, they should have gotten another family to do it on their behalf.

So Lucas soon figured out a few suspects.

“Focus on the Taylors and the Wallaces. Don’t let off the Kingstons and Bensons of San Francisco either. Let’s start from them!” he ordered in a deep voice.

“Yes!” Bruce immediately answered.

After Lucas hung up the phone, his mood still didn’t improve. The fact that Karen was missing was like a gloomy cloud looming over his head.

——

At this moment, in the Taylors’ villa in Orange County…

Scott was lying on a comfortable bed, sound asleep and snoring slightly.

In the corner of the room was an iron cage half the height of a human. Karen was locked up in it, stark naked, without a single piece of clothing to cover her. There was even a heavy iron collar hanging around her neck, making her look like a real dog.

Scott’s phone on the bed suddenly rang, disturbing his beautiful dream.

He picked up his phone in annoyance and answered the call without even looking at it. He immediately cursed, “Do you have a death wish? Who the hell is calling so early when I’m sleeping? Do you believe that I’ll immediately kill you?!”

“Scott Taylor, do you have a death wish?” An icy cold voice came from the other end.

After hearing this voice, Scott was immediately frightened awake, as if a pot of ice water had been poured onto his head.

“M-Mr. Kingston! I’m sorry. I was muddled and didn’t know it was you. Please forgive me!” he said in horror while quickly getting up and kneeling on the bed.

“Hmph, you’re actually in the mood to sleep? If you don’t carry out the task I’ve given you well, you won’t have to live anymore! Got it?” Kyle’s voice was full of a merciless, murderous aura, immediately causing a dense layer of cold sweat to emerge on Scott’s forehead.

Scott hurriedly nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already got Karen Turner in my hands, and I’ll soon be able to put her to use! When the time comes, there will be no way for Lucas Gray and his company to make a comeback. He will definitely die!”

“I hope so. Otherwise, you know what will happen to you!” With that, Kyle immediately hung up.

Scott was full of lingering fears.

Ever since he knew how perverted and violent this successor of the Kingston family was, he was extremely nervous every time he spoke to him, fearing that he might provoke him with a slip of the tongue.

Scott got off the bed, went to the iron cage where Karen was, and kicked it. “Bitch! Why are you still lying in there? Immediately come out and help me wash up!”

Karen was startled and immediately woke up. As soon as she saw Scott, she subconsciously put on a deferential expression and began to bark like a dog.

There were numerous whip marks and pinch marks on her naked body, as well as some undried blood stains too unbearable to look at. Karen had clearly had an extremely unforgettable night last night.

But Scott was not satisfied. Not wanting to have a hideous monster lying beneath him yesterday, he had only slapped Karen’s face, leaving only some red and swollen palm prints.

But this didn’t bring about the effect he wanted.

Scott pulled Karen out of the dog cage and punched and kicked her in the head and face.

Amid Karen’s incessant screaming, her originally well-maintained and still somewhat charming face was completely beaten into a pulp, leaving it swollen and bruised.

Only then Scott was satisfied. He retracted his hand and smiled sinisterly. “This looks more like it. Now, it’s time for a good show!”
