Chapter 141: You’ve Misunderstood
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As soon as Logan heard Lucas’s cold and rciless voice, he instantly shuddered, especially because Lucas’s words made him feel terrified.
But before he could say anything to beg for rcy again, Jordan responded loudly, “Yes, Lucas!”
Jordan pinched Logan’s still-intact left ankle and tightened his grip, breaking his ankle imdiately!
“Ah! Ah! My ankle!” Logan shrieked miserably with tears and mucus all over his face. The pain of having his ankle broken made him almost die of pain, but he couldn’t faint.
“Ugh, you sound like a pig getting slaughtered. You’re so noisy!” Jordan glanced at Logan in disdain and then kicked him on his nape. Logan’s eyes rolled into the back of his head as he passed out.
Jordan dragged Logan out of the house by his leg as though he was a dead dog. Soon, they vanished.
Only then did Lucas move his hands away from Alia’s eyes and ears and carry her over.
Ever since Jordan suddenly appeared and clamped down on Logan’s leg, Grace had been standing at the door of the room, dumbfounded and zoning out. After witnessing the scene in front of her that seed like a dream, she was speechless for a long ti.
The hypocritical and vicious scum Logan Hale, who had imprisoned her and even tried to force himself on her, was actually dragged away like a dog. He was powerless, and all his desperate begging was to no avail.
And the powerful person who put him in such a state was Alia’s kin...
Alia was sitting on Lucas’s arm with one of her arms wrapped tightly around his neck. When she saw Grace standing dumbfounded at the entrance of the room, she exclaid gleefully, “Aunt Grace! Daddy really ca to pick up! That big bad guy was beaten up and taken away. You don’t have to be scared anymore!”
Only then did Grace figure out that the handso man in front of her who looked extrely young was Alia’s father, whom the latter had been clamoring about.
Besides, Alia’s father was indeed very powerful, as he had taught Logan a lesson and gotten rid of him.
From now on, she would finally be free from the shackles of that devil. She would now be able to enjoy freedom!
Grace was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. She started choking and sobbing and was at a loss for words as she looked at Lucas with her eyes full of gratitude.
After Lucas saw Grace, he was a little surprised. The woman in front of him looked extrely young but gorgeous. Moreover, she was sophisticated and elegant, and her waist-length hair gave her the refined and gentle air of a classical beauty.
It was no wonder that the scumbag Logan would want to hold her captive here.
Just now, when he and Jordan were making their way over stealthily, they had overheard the conversation between Grace and Logan and also saw how much she liked and defended Alia.
“Daddy, Aunt Grace is really nice. She was playing with just now, and she was even going to teach how to bake a large cake. Too bad that bad guy suddenly ca over, and we didn’t get to bake the cake... If Aunt Grace hadn’t protected just now, that bad guy would have beaten up!” Alia hurriedly said to Lucas with her round cheeks puffed up.
“Thank you for taking care of my daughter.” Lucas thanked Grace solemnly.
When he found Alia in the small room just now, she was obviously in a good state and wasn’t too badly frightened. Furthermore, there were dolls, coloring books, snacks, and other things that children liked around her, which were obviously thanks to Grace.
Grace had agreed to Logan’s request mainly because she was concerned about Alia. A stranger whom she had not known for long actually went that far for his daughter. Lucas was indeed very grateful.
Grace raised her hand, wiped the tears running down her face, and said embarrassedly, “You don’t have to thank . I actually didn’t do anything... I ought to thank you and Alia instead. If it weren’t for you guys, I might have been violated by that... You guys saved , so you’re my benefactors. I will always rember your kindness!”
Grace bowed to Lucas.
Lucas hurriedly helped Grace up. “It was just a small favor. I can’t accept this.”
Lucas then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Grace. “This is my business card. My na is Lucas Gray. No matter what trouble you encounter in the future, you can call and I’ll help you.”
Lucas didn’t mind helping Grace since she had been very kind to Alia.
Grace took the business card, which only had his na and contact number on it.
“Mr. Gray, I’m Grace Keller,” Grace said. She didn’t have a business card with her.
“Alright, Miss Keller, you can go now. Logan Hale will never be able to threaten you again in the future. I’ll take Alia ho first. Goodbye,” Lucas said with a smile. Then he turned around to leave while carrying Alia in his arms.
“Goodbye, Aunt Grace! You’re welco to co and play at our house!” Alia twisted her body in Lucas’s arms and waved goodbye to Grace.
With a joyful smile that she hadn’t had in a long ti, Grace waved at them. “Okay! Goodbye!”
At the door, Jordan had already taken Logan away, but there was a car left for Lucas.
Lucas drove while Alia sat obediently in the back seat with her seatbelt fastened. During the journey, she kept chattering nonstop about how nice Grace had been to her.
Lucas smiled while listening to Alia. It seed that she wasn’t frightened today. He was thankful for that!
Soon, they arrived back ho.
Charlotte, who had also been worried for a long ti, imdiately dashed out when she heard the sound of the car being driven into the driveway. She saw Lucas carrying Alia in and sighing before putting her down.
Cheyenne had been working overti at the office, but she had already returned ho. Upon seeing Lucas and Alia, she was a little bewildered. “Where were you guys? Why did you co ho so late?”
Lucas and Charlotte hadn’t told Cheyenne that Alia had been taken away by Scarlet Wright and that Charlotte had been forced to go to Logan Hale’s bar for fear that she would be worried.
Now that he had brought Alia back ho safely and nothing had happened to Charlotte either, they planned to hide the dangerous situation that happened just now from Cheyenne.
Lucas was trying to find a random topic to talk about when Alia leaped into Cheyenne’s arms rrily and exclaid, “Mommy! I played at Aunt Grace’s place today. She’s as pretty as a fairy! She’s so nice. She played dolls with , told stories, and was going to teach how to bake a huge cake!
“But before we got to bake the cake, a bad guy ca. Mommy, let’s invite Aunt Grace over next ti. I like her so much!” Alia blinked her large, watery eyes again and looked at Lucas. “Daddy, let’s go to play with Aunt Grace tomorrow, okay?”
When Cheyenne heard Alia say these words in her puerile voice, her expression changed. She looked at Lucas with a complicated gaze, her heart full of a mix of emotions that was hard to describe.
