Chapter 1038: Seek Her Forgiveness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Not only was Eric, who witnessed Jordan’s fighting ability for the first time, shocked, but even the others who had long known how powerful Jordan was were shocked by the scene in front of them.
In just a few seconds, Jordan had already defeated the twenty-odd experts that Derek had brought. How powerful was he?
The person most shocked was Derek, who was standing in the middle with a dazed expression on his swollen face.
He came to the Stone residence this time with the remaining elite experts of the Piers and several powerful men he had hired from abroad at a high price. At first, he was full of confidence.
Originally, he thought that he could use his newly acquired combat forces to deal with Jordan and Lucas and take revenge for the humiliation he had suffered at the Howard residence last time. But he never imagined that Jordan would defeat them before they could even touch him.
!!
Derek’s calves began to shiver.
Meanwhile, Rayson felt astonished but also extremely fortunate.
Fortunately, he had made a wise choice and didn’t get involved with Derek. Otherwise, the Williams’ experts would have been among the people on the ground and unable to get up.
And Derek being slapped until his face was red and swollen was so terrifying that Rayson didn’t even dare to think about it.
This scene made the Stones feel immense regret.
In particular, Carlos was so regretful that he was on the verge of tears.
Jordan could actually teach the head of the Piers a hard lesson, slap his face swollen, and even knock out the Piers’ experts within a few moments. But he was his former son-in-law!
If he hadn’t driven Maddy out of the family and lost such an impressive son-in-law as Jordan, even the eight top families of DC likely wouldn’t dare to provoke them easily.
Unfortunately, he had ruined this favorable position himself!
Suddenly, Jordan looked at Lucas and asked, “Lucas, should we just kill him?”
Hearing this, everyone fell into shock again!
Derek, the head of the Piers, was now so lowly that he was just like an ordinary person to Lucas and Jordan!
They could kill the head of one of the eight most powerful families in DC without even batting an eyelid!
Most importantly, everyone here could see that Jordan wasn’t blowing his trumpet. He and Lucas really didn’t care about Derek’s life and could really kill him whenever they wanted!
Thud!
Derek’s legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground!
This scene shocked everyone once again and rendered them speechless!
Before Lucas even decided whether to kill Derek or not, Derek already couldn’t withstand the overwhelming pressure and knelt!
“M-Mr. Gray, it was my mistake. I… I will never dare to frame anyone or slander your mother-in-law again. I will never dare to offend you again!
“I… I just hope you can spare me and let me off this time! In the future, I promise I will never cause trouble for you again!”
Derek spoke with great difficulty. He was now kneeling on the ground spinelessly, his face as swollen as a pig’s head.
Boom!
Derek’s actions and words caused the surrounding people to widen their mouths in disbelief!
The eight top families of the US were esteemed and respected by everyone. Usually, only others would kneel and apologize to them, never the other way around. It was practically impossible to see this sight!
Apart from Rayson, who had had the same experience previously, the rest couldn’t even imagine this scene at all.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Lucas.
Now, it depended on whether Lucas wanted to spare Derek or not.
Lucas looked at Derek, who was kneeling in front of him, and sneered with disdain. “You’ve offended my mother-in-law several times. You have to ask her if she wants to let you off!”
Florence was stunned again, and excitement surged in her heart.
Lucas gave her the right to decide Derek’s fate so that she could get back at Derek and establish her prestige.
After today, the other top families would definitely not dare to despise or insult her again!
Florence was extremely excited because she knew that this was a special gift from Lucas!
Derek’s face became even gloomier, but at this point, he no longer had a choice because all his subordinates had been defeated.
“M-Ms. Howard, it’s all my fault for spouting nonsense and slandering you without even knowing the truth! Please… please forgive me. I won’t dare to do it again!”
Kneeling on the ground in fear, Derek turned to Florence and spoke with a face full of humiliation. He even slapped his face twice.
He was absolutely terrified.
Right now, all of his subordinates had been wiped out, and he was all alone and outnumbered. He couldn’t even run out of the Stone residence. If he couldn’t obtain Florence’s forgiveness now, Lucas might really kill him!
The more respectful and powerful people were, the more afraid of death they were.
It was the same for Derek. He would rather kneel in front of Florence spinelessly and beg her for forgiveness, even though he hated her guts!
Seeing Derek’s current appearance, Florence felt extremely relieved.
She couldn’t help glancing at Lucas, only to find that he didn’t give her any signals. So she immediately knew that he was giving her full authority to handle it.
Honestly, given Derek’s repeated insults to Florence and his attempts to force her to marry into the Piers, she wished she could kill him.
But no matter what, the Piers were also one of the eight top families in DC. If she really killed Derek, Conrad, the Piers’ former helmsman, would definitely not let the matter rest, and he would surely form a death feud with the Howards.
If the two families were at odds, Florence wouldn’t actually be too afraid. But she was worried that the Piers would scheme against Lucas and Cheyenne. If something untoward happened to them, she definitely wouldn’t be able to bear it!
“Since you already know your wrongdoings, remember what you said today! If you dare to do it again, I won’t spare you. What are you waiting for? Get lost!” Florence shouted angrily.
Derek was overjoyed. As long as Florence was willing to spare his life, he didn’t care about anything else!
Derek said, “Thank you, Ms. Howard. I’ll definitely remember your words and won’t create trouble for you again!”
Then Derek got up from the ground in a panic, as if he had been spared from the death penalty. He scurried toward the gate and couldn’t even bother about the bodyguards and experts lying on the ground.
