Only then did the man with the ear studs realize that there was soone in the apartnt next to them. He guessed that she must be related to the middle-aged man they were tasked to save. So he walked to the door and asked loudly, “We were sent to save soone. Is the injured man who passed out your father?”
Cheyenne hurriedly said, “Yes! I was locked inside, and my father threw the key out of the ventilation window over the stairs. Please help find the key and let go out!”
Since Joe was the one who sent them to rescue William, he naturally didn’t dare to neglect William’s daughter. He hurriedly instructed the three young people beside him. “Did you hear her? Hurry and go downstairs to find the key!”
The three young people looked at the ventilation window and imdiately ran downstairs.
At this mont, the man with the ear studs called Joe and explained the situation to him in detail.
When Joe heard that his subordinates were too late to stop the fight and that William was already seriously wounded to the point of lying unconsciously on the ground, he imdiately cursed furiously, “Are you a bunch of useless trash? I told you to rush there and save him imdiately. Why were you still late? You even let the assailants escape!”
The man with the ear studs felt extrely vexed as well. He had imdiately gathered his n and rushed to Golden Garden Estate to save William after receiving Joe’s call. But he had indeed co late, and there was nothing he could do!
“Forget it. Since things have co to this, let’s not waste ti on nonsense! The perpetrators have already left, so hurry up and check the surveillance cara footage of the estate to find out who they are and where they’ve gone! Hurry up and investigate! If you ss up, you don’t have to work for anymore!”
With that, Joe hung up furiously before urging the driver to drive faster.
After hearing Joe lose his temper, the man with the ear studs tensed up. He then hurriedly called the estate managent office to have them check the surveillance cara footage.
When his n found the key from the bushes downstairs and brought it up, Lucas happened to arrive at the fifth floor.
As soon as the door opened, Cheyenne leaped out from inside.
“Cheyenne, are you alright?” Lucas held onto Cheyenne and scanned her from head to toe.
Cheyenne’s face was covered in tears, and she was extrely flustered. When she saw Lucas, she felt as if she had found her pillar of support, and she leaped into his arms and cried, “Lucas! Dad was seriously injured by them! I don’t know how he’s doing now! I’m really scared that sothing might happen to him! When he saw those people coming just now, he pushed into the apartnt and locked the door before throwing the key away to prevent them from coming in. I watched him get beaten up alone outside, but there was nothing I could do to help! I’m so useless...”
Cheyenne was worried and overwheld with self-reproach as she hugged Lucas and wept hysterically.
Lucas hugged Cheyenne, patted her on the back, and comforted softly, “It’ll be fine. William was just worried that you might be hurt, so he locked you inside. You’re a defenseless woman. If you had co out, you would definitely have been injured. At that ti, William would have been in greater misery. William will only be at ease if you’re fine. Don’t think too much about it.
“If you’re worried about William, I’ll have soone send you to the hospital to visit him. He’ll definitely be fine.”
While being comforted by Lucas, Cheyenne gradually cald down, wiped the tears on her face with her hand, and nodded.
Lucas asked, “Who are those people who ca?”
Because Lucas was in a rush just now, he hadn’t had ti to ask Cheyenne the details of what had happened over the phone. Only after he arrived did he realize that the perpetrators had fled.
Cheyenne said with bloodshot eyes, “It’s Sharon Hart, Jas Wilson’s wife, who got into a conflict with my mom at the hotel restaurant over the bracelet the other day. We happened to run into each other in the estate today and got into a conflict. She then brought four n over and beat Dad up.”
There was an icy cold glint in Lucas’s eyes!
Those two had had several conflicts with Lucas, but he had decided to let them off because Wilson had personally apologized and promised not to provoke them again. But unexpectedly, Sharon didn’t know any better and even had the audacity to bring people over to beat William and Cheyenne up.
If William hadn’t locked Cheyenne up in ti, she would have been bullied and humiliated by Sharon. Besides, Cheyenne was a girl, so who knows what would have happened to her.
The thought of that scene made Lucas want to kill people!
He took a deep breath and suppressed the imnse murderous intent within him. He then said to Cheyenne, “Okay, I know. Go to the hospital and take a look at William. Leave the rest to .”
Lucas turned around and quickly explained to Joe, who had also hurriedly arrived at the door. “Take my wife to the hospital now and take good care of her. I don’t want any problems to occur this ti!”
Joe’s heart almost jumped out of his chest when he heard the anger in Lucas’s tone. He quickly said, “Yes! I will definitely protect Miss Carter and ensure that nothing happens to her!”
Face all red and swollen, Cheyenne was very worried about William’s situation, so she frantically nodded and walked to the elevator.
At this mont, the sound of a door opening softly ca. Karen finally peeked through the crack in the door before craning her neck to take a look outside.
When she realized that Sharon and the nacing henchn had left and that her good-for-nothing son-in-law Lucas was standing at the door with a few n, she finally heaved a sigh of relief and walked out of the bedroom.
But Lucas and Cheyenne rely glanced at her coldly before looking away, as if they hadn’t seen her.
Cheyenne didn’t even ask Karen if she wanted to go to the hospital with her to check on William’s condition. She was afraid that she would hear Karen say so nasty things and no longer be able to suppress the anger in her heart.
When Karen saw their reactions, not only did she not feel ashad at all, but she also pursed her lips and rolled her eyes in disdain.
Just as Cheyenne and Joe were about to go downstairs, the phone of the man with the ear studs rang. After he saw the caller ID, he answered imdiately. “What? Have you watched all the surveillance cara videos?”
Hearing that they had already found so clues in the videos, the few of them stopped and listened to what he had to say.
“Okay, I know. Continue to keep tabs on it!” After hanging up, the man with the ear studs imdiately reported to Joe and Lucas, “My n discovered that that woman brought her people to the Douglases’ villa. Her n are also bodyguards of the Douglases.”
The Douglases? Why would she go there?
As far as Lucas knew, the Douglases didn’t seem to be nearby, so he wondered how Joe’s subordinates managed to find out.
Seemingly having noticed Lucas’s puzzlent, the man with the ear studs hurriedly said, “The Douglases own a villa in the Golden Palm Villa cluster nearby. They headed there!”
Lucas said coldly, “I’ll go there to see them now!”
