Chapter 584 - Great Change Late At Night
Karen should have been glad to learn that Nikki had really sent someone to deal with William as she had wished.
Well, only under the premise that the hitman had gotten the job done.
But the situation now was that the hitman had tried to harm William but failed to do so and instead got caught by Lucas. He might even very likely end up dying.
How could Karen possibly be happy in this situation?
She was now incredibly terrified!
Since Lucas had now found out that Justin was behind this, he might easily find out the deal she had made with Nikki!
In the past, Karen would probably still think that Lucas wouldn't dare to do anything to her because she was Cheyenne's mother. But now, Cheyenne was gradually getting out of her control while Lucas…
Just recalling the scene of him stepping on the hitman's arm and crushing it with a straight face just now made Karen completely convinced that he definitely dared to lay a hand on her or even kill her!
When she thought about this, her face became extremely ugly, and she wished she could immediately escape.
The person who brought the news to Lucas was none other than Damon, the head of the Parkers.
Lucas had long guessed that the person who sent the hitman was Nikki.
Damon's investigation had to confirm his suspicion.
Lucas ordered through the phone, "I believe you should know what to do. I hope the Herons will completely disappear from LA, and I want you to get rid of that person called Kairo too. From now on, manage the underground businesses of LA for me. Don't do anything to Justin Heron's daughter, Nikki, just yet. Leave it to me."
"Yes, Mr. Gray. I will obey your orders and get everything settled before tomorrow morning!" Damon promised.
Since the phone was on loudspeaker, Karen undoubtedly heard his voice too.
Damon Parker?
The person calling Lucas is actually Damon Parker, the head of the top family in LA?!
Karen was shocked, and she almost couldn't believe it. But she had indeed heard Damon's voice during Dylan Turner's wedding previously, which was almost exactly the same as the one coming from the phone's speaker just now!
It seemed that the person on the other end was undoubtedly Damon.
The most frightening thing was that the high and mighty head of the Parker family was like an underling in front of Lucas, bowing down and obeying his orders. This was what frightened Karen the most!
Why? Why is it like this?
Has my son-in-law already become more powerful than the Parkers from LA?
She couldn't believe it at all. But the truth was right in front of her, so she had no choice but to believe it.
Overwhelmed with massive fear, Karen shuddered and tiptoed toward the door.
She was terrified!
She was desperately trying to stay as far away from the hospital and the damned Lucas as possible.
"Where are you going?" An icy cold voice suddenly filled the air in the quiet ward.
Karen froze during her attempt to sneak out.
She chuckled twice and said extremely unnaturally, "I… I-I just want to go to the restroom!"
After saying this, she felt incredibly nervous and wretchedly walked into the restroom in the VIP ward, moving her hands and feet at almost the same time.
Staring at her flustered back, Lucas sneered silently.
Karen was petrified and wanted to flee, but he obviously wouldn't let her get what she wanted.
If he let Karen flee just like that, he would not only be letting her off easy, but he also wouldn't be able to explain it to Cheyenne.
Sitting beside Cheyenne's bed, Lucas stared at her face while she was in a deep sleep. He gently moved away the few strands of hair on her face.
She was the person he loved the most in this life.
He chose to tolerate Karen's offensive behavior only because of Cheyenne.
But Karen had now repeatedly tried to kill William, Cheyenne's father, and Lucas wouldn't allow it.
It was destined to be a chaotic night.
It was almost 11 p.m.
In the villa of the Parker family in LA…
Damon, who should have fallen asleep long ago, was now sitting in the hall and giving instructions to a few of his subordinates. "You must carry out these two tasks immediately. You must take care of them before dawn!"
"Yes, Mr. Parker!" The few men immediately acknowledged the orders and retreated.
Damon rubbed the middle of his brows, feeling extremely displeased with both the Heron family and Kairo for offending Lucas.
"Hmph, they're just a small family that can't even be considered a second-tier family. There's also a pretentious gang leader who only took over because his predecessor died. How dare they try to harm Mr. Gray's father-in-law? They really don't know any better!"
——
In a gold mine under LA…
Although it was already midnight, a time when most people in the city had gone to sleep, the place was still brightly lit and lively.
After scanning the place, Kairo, the owner of the place, returned to his most comfortable and luxurious private room, where he lay down comfortably on a large bed.
There were two beautiful women with incredible figures sitting beside Kairo, serving him fruit and wine. From time to time, they would let him take liberties with them.
One of the women fed him a grape with her mouth and then asked smilingly, "Mr. Kairo, your business is getting bigger and bigger. Now, the situation in LA has changed. The Brookes have long been annihilated, the Owens have just been destroyed, and the Parker family is the only tyrant left. Mr. Kairo, don't you want to take advantage of the opportunity to get a large slice of the pie?"
Kairo narrowed his eyes and said in disdain, "Tyrant of LA? Is the Parker family worthy of that?"
The other beautiful woman laughed. "Yeah, it's just a mere Parker family. Their reputation means nothing. I bet they're no match for you at all, Mr. Kairo! You've just been keeping a low profile. You're rich and resourceful, and you have so many subordinates. Just send a few, and you'd be able to kill the Parkers!
"In my opinion, you're being too kind, Mr. Kairo. If you take action, there's nothing we wouldn't be able to do. It'd be more appropriate for you to be the most powerful man in the city!"
Kairo was overjoyed to be showered with praises, and he pulled the beautiful woman into his chest. He started groping her while saying, "Hahaha, baby, you're really good at talking! Indeed, as long as I want to, all of LA will belong to me. The Parkers mean nothing at all!"
The two of them immediately embraced each other.
Not wanting to be left out, the other beauty quickly chimed in, "You're right, Mr. Kairo. The Parkers will bow down to you and be at your disposal one day!"
Kairo laughed and held the beauties in his arms with great pleasure.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door of the luxurious private room was kicked open, and a group of people instantly swarmed in.
Startled, Kairo immediately cursed, "Where did you dogs come from? How dare you barge into my exclusive private room? Are you blind?"
"Mr.. Kairo? Hah!" Among the people who barged in, the leader, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark gray suit, sneered and pulled out a gun from his waist. He pointed it at Kairo's head and said, "Soon, you'll just be a dead man!"
