Chapter 1039: The Dust Settles
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone watched Derek flee in panic, their mood extrely complicated.
They all knew that the Piers had been utterly humiliated in front of Lucas. If word about today’s incident spread, Derek and the Piers would beco a laughing stock in the eyes of the people of DC.
Rayson couldn’t help raising his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, feeling thankful for the hundredth ti that he hadn’t chosen the wrong path.
Otherwise, he would probably have to suffer the humiliating act of kneeling and begging for rcy twice!
While Derek fled in panic, Florence glanced at Eric and said with a smile, “Mr. Branson, the truth of the matter has co to light now, and the true murderer of your son is the Piers. So, shouldn’t you leave with your n now?”
!!
Eric pursed his lips. Given the current situation, even if Jordan had really killed his son, he wouldn’t dare to seek revenge against Jordan.
What Florence said undoubtedly gave Eric an excellent out. He imdiately said, “Since it’s all a misunderstanding, I naturally won’t settle scores with the innocent people here. It’s all Derek Piers’ fault, so I’ll go to the Piers’ right now and get him to give an explanation!
“Goodbye, everyone!”
Florence smiled. “In that case, goodbye, Mr. Branson.”
Eric took one last glance at Lucas and left with the Bransons without hesitation. He didn’t even ntion anything about holding Jordan responsible for breaking his son’s limbs.
After the Bransons left, Rayson also walked up to Lucas and said very politely, “Mr. Gray, if you have no further instructions, shall I leave too?”
Rayson had initially co to confront the Stones because Maddy had refused to marry his son, Cody. After everything that happened, he didn’t dare to ntion it anymore. He also made up his mind that the Williams were not to ntion this matter or provoke Lucas again!
Lucas glanced at Rayson and unexpectedly smiled. “Mr. Williams, it must have been hard on you today. From now on, the Stardust Corporation will need your help.”
Although Rayson was an extrely shaless fencesitter prone to changing his stand, he was timid, cautious, and good at judging the situation. So he knew what was most beneficial to him.
Thus, as long as Lucas still had the ability to deter Rayson, he would never be afraid of getting betrayed, making it easier for Lucas to control him.
Lucas’s actions surprised Rayson. He never expected that Lucas would not only spare him from responsibility but also hint at a cooperation with him, showing him goodwill!
“That would be wonderful! Mr. Gray, don’t worry. From now on, the Williams will be the first and most reliable partner of the Stardust Corporation in DC. I’ll imdiately go back and have soone prepare the cooperation proposal!” Rayson said with excitent written all over his face.
“In that case, thank you, Mr. Williams. When I have ti in the future, I’ll invite you out for a al!” Lucas smiled.
“Haha, well said, well said! Goodbye, Mr. Gray, Ms. Howard!” Rayson bade them farewell and left with his people.
At this ti, Florence ca over and said with a complicated expression, “Lu... Mr. Gray, I wanted to help today. But in the end, I failed to do anything and instead received another favor from you. I’m really grateful.”
Although Lucas had previously acknowledged that Florence was his mother-in-law in front of everyone, she didn’t dare to assu this identity in front of Lucas and instead remained very polite and respectful toward him.
Lucas looked up at her and said lightly, “You don’t have to be so formal with . Just call Lucas.”
Florence’s heart trembled in excitent.
Once upon a ti, Florence could address Lucas by his na and even treat him rudely because she didn’t take him seriously back then.
But as Lucas gradually revealed his abilities and strength, followed by the various incidents that took place afterward, Florence realized just how terrifyingly powerful her son-in-law was.
Thus, Florence was extrely cautious when speaking to Lucas, for fear that she would anger him.
But now, Lucas took the initiative to ask her to address him by his na. It seed that he was no longer bothered about their unhappy past and intended to accept her as his mother-in-law.
“Okay!” Florence said excitedly, and even her eyes were red.
Seeing her so excited, Lucas sighed slightly.
Honestly, Florence simply wasn’t qualified to be a mother, given her previous actions. His impression of her before was terrible. But after experiencing so many events, she had changed drastically.
If Florence had really changed her ways and could beco a qualified mother, Lucas wouldn’t stop Cheyenne from reconciling with her.
With tears in her eyes, Florence left in satisfaction.
With the departure of the Piers, the Bransons, and the Howards, only the Stones were left.
At this mont, the Stones were all apprehensive as they secretly sized up Lucas and the others, unsure of what would happen to them next.
But Lucas didn’t look at them and instead looked at Maddy and asked with raised brows, “Maddy, shall we go?”
Maddy nodded and then looked at Carlos and said calmly, “We’ve already settled today’s issue. Just as I promised, the Stones weren’t implicated.
“But from now on, I will no longer have anything to do with the Stones. No matter what happens to you in the future, I won’t get involved!”
Then Maddy took Jordan’s hand and turned around to leave.
“W-wait!”
Seeing Maddy about to leave, Carlos couldn’t hold back any longer and imdiately called out to her. “Maddy, I know it was my fault previously. I... I shouldn’t have let anger get the better of and kicked you out of the family. I really know my mistakes!
“I also now know that I really have no ability to be the Stones’ helmsman. So I’ll hand the position over to you now! As long as you’re willing to return to the Stones, I will imdiately pass the position of helmsman over to you. And I will never take matters into my own hands again!”
Although Carlos felt extrely ashad, he still said this.
After what had happened today, Carlos was really full of regret.
He originally thought that his daughter had caused a disaster for the Stones, so he had severed ties with her in a fit of anger and expelled her from the family.
But it turned out that Maddy’s social connections were so powerful. Not only did she have a godmother like Florence and a powerful fiancé like Jordan, but she was even close friends with Lucas, whom even the heads of the eight top families in DC didn’t dare to offend.
If Maddy returned to the Stones, she would definitely bring them to greater glory with her connections, and no one would dare to bully the Stones again!
As such, Carlos was willing to hand over his position as helmsman to Maddy!
