Chapter 736: Admitted To It Himself
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone was still guessing the reason the helmsman of the Watsons had knelt down to Lucas. Even though the Watsons had offended him, there was no need for him to make such a grand gesture.
But the truth was far more frightening than they had imagined. Reynold had merely arrived a minute later than the time Lucas had given him, but he had actually gotten down on both knees to apologize to him!
The people watching felt as though they were about to lose their minds!
If they weren’t all hallucinating or Reynold hadn’t suddenly gone mad, the only possibility was that Lucas’s identity was far more prestigious than that of Reynold! Thus, he had to get on his knees to apologize and seek forgiveness from Lucas even though he was only a minute late because of heavy traffic!
In that case, since Jake had said so many insults to Lucas just now, how would Reynold solve this problem?
As their focus shifted to this issue, everyone turned to look at Reynold.
At this moment, Jake was shocked beyond words.
He had never expected that Reynold would be so subservient and respectful toward Lucas. This could only mean that Lucas was definitely not just an ordinary live-in husband as Estelle had claimed.
Now, he was full of regret, and he wished he could drag this bitch Estelle over and slap her a few times!
Lucas ignored Reynold kneeling in front of him and turned his gaze to Jake. He said coldly, “You just said that you wanted me to kneel and apologize to you, and you even wanted my sister-in-law to serve you for a few days before you would let us off, huh?”
How could Jake dare to think so now? He hurriedly shook his head. “No, no, no! I was too blind and offended you and your sister-in-law, Mr. Gray. I’ve got a foul mouth, and I babble nonsense all the time. Please don’t take it to heart. Just take it that I was talking nonsense. Please forgive me!”
Jake was worlds apart from his arrogant self just now, and he was about to cry out in fear.
Even the head of the Watsons had kneeled in front of Lucas and apologized for being a minute late. Yet he, a distant relative of the Watsons, had said so many crazy and offensive things to Lucas. He had to have a death wish!
Jake wished he could rewind time to twenty minutes ago. If he could start all over again, he would never offend Lucas, this terrifying person.
Lucas turned to Estelle again and asked coldly, “You just said that my sister-in-law is a mistress who deliberately seduced your husband to destroy your marriage?”
Estelle was about to be frightened to death at this point.
She had known previously that Lucas’s methods were very powerful. Otherwise, he couldn’t have forced the Brookes to the point of having to flee LA. Estelle once again recalled the scene of Lucas remaining unscathed despite having numerous gunmen of the Brookes shooting him. He had even used pine needles to blind them.
She really shouldn’t have gone to provoke this terrifying enemy, but she was too indignant. Besides, she had thought that she had found a backer in the Watsons, so she could easily take revenge and trample all over him. This was why she had tried hard to urge and influence Jake. It was so that the Watsons would go against Lucas.
But Estelle never expected the head of the Watsons to be so humble and subservient in front of Lucas!
Or rather, Lucas’s status today had greatly exceeded Estelle’s imagination. It finally made her realize that she would probably never be able to take revenge against Lucas!
At this moment, when she saw Lucas’s icy cold gaze, she no longer dared to think about taking revenge against the two of them. Now, she only wanted to protect herself, and she just hoped that Lucas would spare her!
“No, no. She… Charlotte isn’t actually a mistress, and she didn’t seduce my husband either. My… my husband pestered her because she’s beautiful!
“Also, the reason my husband and I divorced was that he has been freeloading off of my family while still looking for other women. So the elders of my family couldn’t stand it and decided to kick him out! It had nothing to do with Miss Carter! She didn’t destroy my family either!
“Also, I… I’m jealous of Miss Carter, so I deliberately spread those rumors. Actually, Miss Carter has never seduced a man before, and they… they’re all rumors I made up!”
Estelle revealed all her crimes in one go, for fear that Lucas would punish her even more severely.
After she finished speaking, there was a huge commotion around them.
Just now, Estelle had kept clamoring that Charlotte was a homewrecker and brazen hussy who had seduced Estelle’s husband and her brother-in-law. She had even wanted to strip Charlotte in public and had been inciting the onlookers. Thus, they thought that Charlotte was a vixen and had badmouthed her.
Yet she had now confessed so quickly that everything was just rumors she had made up out of jealousy and vengeance!
The sudden twist in events immediately made many people incredibly furious because they felt that Estelle had used them.
“This woman is so cheap! Her husband went around harassing this lady, yet she accused this lady of being a mistress who seduced her husband. She really twisted the facts!”
“She’s too detestable! I really believed her nonsense and scolded Miss Carter several times. Now, I feel very sorry for her! It’s all this woman’s fault. She’s atrocious!”
“Yeah, despite knowing how important a woman’s reputation is, she kept harping on this and accusing her. She’s really too much!”
“That’s right. Miss Carter’s brother-in-law is so powerful, and she’s so beautiful. How could she possibly snatch the man of an ugly woman inferior to her in every way? It’s really too outrageous!”
...
All of a sudden, the surrounding crowd felt cheated and began lashing out at Estelle indignantly.
Meanwhile, Estelle shrank back without daring to say a word.
“It seems that I was too kind to your family before.” Lucas looked at Estelle coldly. “Previously, I left a way out for your family.. As long as you left LA, you wouldn’t be punished. Now, you’ve destroyed it yourself, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
