Chapter 372: Making Guesses and Staying Vigilant

Charlotte had a righteous and vindictive character, and she hated those who liked harming others.

She now loathed the Turners and naturally didnt want to continue staying here.

Lucas thought about it and said, “Youd better stay here.”

Before Charlotte could say anything, Lucas continued, “I know you wont let your sister and Amelia be bullied by others, so I can put my mind at ease if you stay here.”

Charlotte was much feistier than Cheyenne.

In case something worrying happened, Cheyenne would more likely than not try her best to bear with it, but Charlotte would definitely retaliate and never let herself get bullied.

Seeing how serious Lucas was about entrusting Cheyenne and Amelia to her, Charlotte was really envious of Cheyenne for having such a caring husband who treated her so well.

“Okay.

Dont worry, Lucas.

Ill definitely protect Cheyenne and Amelia well.

As long as Im around, no one can bully her!” Charlotte solemnly promised.

Lucas squatted down, stroked Amelias head, and instructed, “Daddy has to leave for a while.

You have to be good and listen to Mommy!”

After seeing Amelia nod sensibly, Lucas said to William, “William, lets get going now.”

William nodded, and so the two of them calmly left the Turners home with various gazes cast on them.

Soon, Lucas drove to the city center in his Jaguar, together with William.

During the journey, William rolled down the windows to let some fresh air in and then said in bewilderment, “Had I known earlier, I would have stayed at home instead of coming here and getting provoked by them!”

Lucas smiled and comforted, “Just turn a deaf ear to their comments.

Dont let it get to you.

Dont bother arguing with them either, lest you get upset again.”

William said sullenly with frustration, “I know how detestable the Turners are, but I still feel really angry! Lucas, do you know that the Turners werent as obnoxious as they are now when the Carters were in their heyday back then At the time, they were really enthusiastic and kind to us whenever we visited.

They even showered us with compliments!

“When I started idling about in the Carters company later on and had a huge cut in my income, they became cold and indifferent toward me, but they would still try to be nice for the sake of getting more money from us.

“Unfortunately, after everything that the Carters have gone through, theyve declined greatly, and weve been disowned too.

So the Turners started looking down on me.

You heard what they said about me just now.

If I hadnt lost my temper and retorted, they would have trampled all over me.

They took my money yet have the cheek to say that I sponge off Karen.

How infuriating!

“Hmph, this is the last time Im ever going to visit the Turners.

In the future, I will never come again even if they beg me!”

William was exasperated, and since Lucas was somewhat in the same boat as him, he saw Lucas as a confidant he could confide in and air his grievances to.

Lucas suddenly asked, “William, Karen and her family dont know that youre now the general manager of the Solar Corporations Orange County branch, do they”

If they knew, Karen and the Turners attitude toward William would definitely not be that hostile and harsh.

William nodded.

“Yes, I didnt tell her about it.

Otherwise, she might get up to more nonsense again.

Shell definitely urge me to give her more money so that she can give it to her family, or perhaps shell accept bribes or something like that! Anyway, if we let her find out, shell definitely cause jeopardy in the company.”

At this point, William suddenly thought of something and instructed Lucas with a solemn expression, “Lucas, its not that Im deliberately badmouthing Karen, but shes really vile! Shes capable of doing anything for money, so you must keep your guard up against her.

Also, you mustnt let her return to your villa!”

Lucas was a bit surprised.

There seemed to be a hidden meaning in Williams words.

Could Karen have done something terrible before

But since William didnt explicitly say it, Lucas felt that it would be inappropriate to probe further.

He answered seriously, “Okay, I will pay more attention.”

Lucas continued to drive while his mind was filled with a whirlpool of questions.

If William has seen through Karens character, why hasnt he divorced her yet

Karen also seems to be very afraid of divorcing William.

When they had a fight in Lucass villa previously, William had also threatened Karen with a divorce in order to force her to move out with him.

Today, William had similarly used divorce as a threat to force Karen to admit to her mistakes and tell the truth, which caused her to end up offending her parents and relatives.

Lucas believed that Karen definitely wasnt against the divorce because she still had feelings for William.

Previously, she was completely unconcerned about William even when he had gotten severely injured or embroiled in other troublesome matters.

She didnt seem to care about him at all.

Besides, Karen probably wasnt just worried that no one would provide for her after the divorce.

After all, she had been married to William for so many years, so even if they got a divorce, she would still be entitled to a considerable amount of alimony.

In addition, she had two daughters, Cheyenne and Charlotte.

Even if she divorced William, there was no way they would leave her in the lurch and would certainly help her pay her monthly expenses.

Unless…

Lucas suddenly thought of a possibility, but he soon dispelled it because he didnt dare to think about it further, nor was he willing to verify it.

If his conjecture was true, Cheyenne and Charlotte probably wouldnt be able to take the blow.

William rambled on and on incessantly while Lucas continued to drive and answer him at the same time.

After a long time, William suddenly said hesitantly, “Lucas, theres something that Ive been keeping to myself for years because I havent found someone I can trust enough to tell.

I feel like letting you in on it now.

Actually, Karen isnt…”

“William, watch out!”

Before William could finish speaking, Lucas suddenly interrupted while turning the steering wheel vigorously.

Bang!

There was a loud bang in front.

Lucas was driving on the inner lane of a four-lane divided highway.

But a black Hummer suddenly sped over from the side and crashed into a red Maserati in front of it!

After steering the car the other way, Lucas floored the gas pedal and drove straight into the big Hummer!

“Lucas, youre crazy!”

In the passenger seat, William watched their car collide with the Hummer with his eyes wide open!

“Hold on to your seatbelt!” Lucas hollered loudly.

Just as William subconsciously grabbed his seatbelt, the Hummer was right in front of them!

Bang!

The loud sound of a violent collision filled the air!
