Chapter 985: Switching Hands
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Daddy, Daddy! I’m talking to you, but you’re spacing out. You don’t respect at all!”
Alia’s voice made Lucas snap out of his thoughts.
Only then did Lucas realize that he had neglected his adorable daughter because he had slipped into a trance. She was now pouting, her large eyes filled with aggravation and complaints.
Lucas hurriedly said, “Okay, it’s my fault. I got distracted thinking about sothing. I didn’t an to ignore you, Alia!”
In order to coax his daughter, Lucas asked, “I heard that you went out for so good food with Grandpa today. What did you have?”
At the ntion of food, the adorable little foodie imdiately put her fingers up and counted them one by one. “We had atballs! And so pretty cakes! I also had a delicious lollipop! Grandpa even bought a huge marshmallow! I wanted to buy one for Mommy, you, and Aunt Charlotte, but Grandpa said you guys don’t like marshmallows...”
Alia spoke with great excitent. Lucas was still joking with her at first, but at the thought of the series of coincidences just now, he felt so inexplicable worries.
But so far, neither Cheyenne nor Charlotte had called him for help, which ant that their company matters were probably not that difficult to handle.
While Lucas was thinking, he heard Alia suddenly say, “By the way, Daddy, I saw Grandma on the street today!”
“Grandma?” Lucas was stunned.
Alia was obviously referring to Karen.
But Karen was supposed in jail for at least five years for attempted murder.
Lucas imdiately asked, “Alia, you said you saw Grandma on the street?”
Alia nodded and blinked. “Yeah, I saw her on the street where Grandpa and I ate. She even pulled Grandpa and said that she wanted to go ho, but he refused to let her co ho. He even said that she should go stay sowhere else. Otherwise, he would call the police to take her away. Grandma ran away after hearing this...”
Alia looked at Lucas and asked in confusion, “Dad, why won’t Grandpa let Grandma co ho? It’s been a long ti since I saw her, and I miss her so much! Will you let her co ho?”
Lucas was now 100% sure that sothing had gone wrong since Karen, who was supposed to be serving her sentence in prison, had suddenly appeared on the street and ran away imdiately after William ntioned the police!
Alia was still young, so she didn’t know what Karen had done. She only knew that Karen was her grandmother, whom she had lived with for several years since she was a child. So she wanted Lucas to let Karen co ho.
But Lucas would never let the vicious Karen step foot inside their ho!
“Alia, it’s not that Grandpa and I won’t let Grandma co ho. But she made a huge mistake, so the police took her away and forbade her from coming ho,” Lucas explained gently.
“Daddy, did you say that Grandma was taken away by the police? Is Grandma a bad person? Did she do sothing only bad guys do?” Alia imdiately frowned, her eyes full of worry.
In the eyes of children who still didn’t have a clear concept of the law, only bad guys would be arrested by the police.
Lucas wanted to comfort Alia by telling her that Karen wasn’t a bad guy. But at the thought of the horrible things Karen had done to William and Cheyenne, he decided that he didn’t want Alia to think of Karen as a kind and good grandmother.
So Lucas simply nodded and said, “That’s right. Grandma did sothing bad, and she’s a bad guy.”
Hearing this, Alia imdiately pursed her lips, and her big and clear eyes were full of tears. She lost control and started crying. “Daddy! I don’t want Grandma to be a bad guy. I don’t want her to be taken away by the police... No!”
Looking at his daughter crying miserably, Lucas felt heartbroken. He could only try his best to comfort her. “Okay, don’t cry. Grandma will co ho when she becos a good person.”
Although it was impossible for Karen to repent, and it was also impossible for Lucas to let her co back ho, he had no choice but to say this to the crying Alia.
“Really?” Alia imdiately raised her head, blinking her large and watery eyes.
Lucas had no choice but to nod and say, “Yes.”
After finally managing to stop Alia from crying, Lucas was just about to call William to ask him what was going on when he suddenly heard his cell phone ring. The person who called happened to be William.
“Hello, William!” Lucas said, but no one answered.
Lucas thought it was just poor reception and asked again, “William, can you hear ?”
At this mont, a lazy voice finally sounded on the other end. He said teasingly, “Hey, Lucas, I can’t believe you’ve beco my son today. Co on, call dad a few more tis.”
When Lucas heard this voice, his pupils constricted, and his face darkened imdiately.
An intense murderous intent flashed in his eyes. “Jace Hutton! I didn’t expect you to be in Orange County!”
The person who called Lucas using William’s phone was none other than Jace, Lucas’s half-brother!
“Haha, do you really think I won’t dare to co to Orange County just because it’s your turf?” Jace sneered.
“Where is my father-in-law? Why is his phone in your hands?” Lucas questioned in a deep voice.
Since Jace had William’s phone, Lucas didn’t believe that Jace had rely borrowed it to call him.
William had probably already fallen into the hands of this bastard Jace. Who knew what kind of danger he was in?!
After his trip to DC, where he had removed Jace from the position of the Huttons’ successor, Jace probably hated him to the core.
Under such circumstances, Lucas’s greatest fear was that Jace would take revenge on him by attacking his loved ones!
After hearing Lucas’s question, Jace laughed out loud and then said coldly, “Your father-in-law has already fallen into my hands. Do you think he still stands a chance at surviving?”
When Lucas heard this, his eyes suddenly shined with a nacing murderous aura!
