Lucas said with a comforting smile, “Rest assured. Everything will be fine. The Howards aren’t weak, and they won’t let others bully them.”
Anyway, he had already done what he needed to do and saved the Howards once from the Piers and the Williams.
But he wasn’t a Howard after all, and he wasn’t obligated to keep staying in DC to help the Howards resolve their troubles.
Furthermore, Lucas believed that Florence wasn’t a fool. Michael had already taken the initiative to extend an olive branch to the Howards, so the Howards would definitely seize the opportunity to form an alliance with the Huttons.
In that case, the Howards wouldn’t face any major issues.
Besides, if sothing unexpected really happened, Lucas still had the Smiths to help him in DC, and he could have them side with the Howards.
There were only eight top families in DC, and Lucas could get three of them to unite. The only way the Piers and the Williams could defeat them was to form an alliance with the remaining three families.
But the chances of this happening were almost negligible.
Frankly speaking, given Lucas’s current power, he could easily conquer all eight families in DC. But doing so would cause huge economic turbulence in the country, and he didn’t want to affect ordinary people because of it.
More than two hours later, they arrived safely in Orange County.
Lucas had been in DC for more than a week and finally returned to the city he was most familiar with.
After getting off the plane, Cheyenne turned on her cell phone and heard a succession of text ssage alerts, all of which were texts she had received while her phone was off during the flight. There were also many missed calls.
Cheyenne panicked when she saw so many missed calls from her secretary.
Just as she was about to call back and ask what was going on, her phone started ringing again.
The person who called was the general manager’s secretary of the Brilliance Corporation.
“What happened at the office?” Cheyenne imdiately asked.
The person on the other end said sothing, and Cheyenne’s face beca extrely sullen. Finally, she rely said, “Okay, I’ve gotten off the plane, and I’m back in Orange County now. I’ll head over to the office imdiately to take a look!”
After Cheyenne hung up, Lucas imdiately asked with concern, “What happened at the office?”
Cheyenne smiled bitterly. “There are so problems with a few contracts, and the clients are demanding that I solve the issues now, so I have to head back imdiately.”
“Is it troubleso? Do you need my help?” Lucas asked with concern.
Cheyenne shook her head. “It’s okay. It’s all just so company affairs that I can resolve on my own. I’ll take a cab to the office first. You don’t have to bother about either. Just take a cab ho quickly. Alia is waiting for you at ho. She must miss you dearly!”
Cheyenne was an extrely independent woman who wasn’t willing to seek help from others.
Lucas respected Cheyenne’s decision. Since she said that she could resolve the issues on her own, he didn’t insist any further.
“Okay, go ahead then. If there’s sothing you can’t solve on your own, rember to call and let know,” Lucas said before ushering Cheyenne into a taxi. Then he took a taxi back to his Pearl Lake villa.
As soon as he returned ho, Alia dashed toward him excitedly and threw herself into his arms. “Daddy! You’re finally ho! I missed you so much!”
While being hugged by his daughter, Lucas felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in his heart as he picked Alia up in his arms and kissed her cheeks a few tis.
Lucas originally thought that Alia would be upset at him for coming ho late and breaking his promise to take her out for delicious food today. But he saw nothing except pure surprise and joy on her face without the slightest complaint.
Lucas loved his well-behaved and sensible daughter to bits.
William walked out and greeted Lucas with a smile. “Welco back. Did everything go well in DC?”
Lucas nodded and smiled. “Yes, it’s all settled now. How’s your recovery going, William?”
Previously, Karen and Nikki had colluded to sche against William and caused him to have a traffic accident. He had been badly wounded and in a vegetative state. Now, he was in the stage of slow recovery.
“Yeah, they’re just so superficial injuries. I’m almost fully healed now!” William said while arching his arm to flex it, revealing the small muscles on it.
Lucas burst into laughter and soon realized that there was soone missing in the house.
“Where’s Charlotte? Isn’t it the weekend? Is she still working overti?” Lucas asked.
William explained, “Oh, yeah, Charlotte was supposed to have a break today, but about half an hour ago, her assistant called and said that there were so urgent matters for her to handle at the office, so she rushed back.”
Lucas imdiately frowned.
When they got off the plane half an hour ago, Cheyenne had received a similar phone call from her company, saying that sothing troubleso had happened. And now, sothing cropped up at Charlotte’s office at the sa ti. Was it really a coincidence?
Before Lucas could dwell on it further, William’s phone started ringing.
After William answered the call, his expression imdiately changed, and he said quickly, “Huh? What did you say? That happened at the office? Okay, wait for there. I’ll co deal with it right away!”
After hanging up, William grabbed his jacket and car key while saying to Lucas, “Lucas, stay ho and play with Alia! I have sothing urgent to deal with at the office. I’m heading over now!”
Then he left without looking back.
Lucas was hugging Alia, but he acutely felt that there was sothing wrong.
Within such a short period of ti, the Brilliance Corporation, the Stardust Corporation, and the Solar Corporation all faced an urgent issue all of a sudden. It was too strange for it to just be a coincidence.
Moreover, all three companies belonged to him.
Soone might be targeting him and creating trouble for all three of his companies at the sa ti.
But who would do this?
There shouldn’t be anyone who dared to go against Lucas, given his current status and identity.
So, who did it?
