Chapter 1045: Asking Her to Get in the Car

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Initially, Carlos could still control his emotions in front of Maddy.

But when he saw his elderly father’s gray hair glistening under the dim yellow light, he could no longer control his emotions. He immediately fell to his knees in front of Geoffrey and burst into tears.

He finally realized that his father had aged so much that he might only have a few years left to spend with him.

But he was such a bastard. Today, he had blamed his father and even scolded him for being greedy for power. He had even forced his father to leave the family. He was truly inhumane!

“Father! This unfilial son has come to apologize to you! I’m so sorry. Please teach me a lesson and hit me!

!!

“I was really a bastard earlier! Father, I know my mistakes… I’ve let you and Maddy down!”

Carlos hugged Geoffrey’s calf while crying. Although he was already in his fifties and had already become the helmsman of the Stones, he was now bawling like a child in front of Geoffrey.

Even Geoffrey couldn’t help having his eyes turn red. He reached out to stroke Carlos’s head and said sobbingly, “Alright. As long as you know your mistakes and correct them, you’ll still be my son!”

In his eyes, Carlos would forever be his son. How could he really hold it against him?

“Father!” Like a child, Carlos hugged Geoffrey’s calf tightly and cried even louder.

He originally thought that his father wouldn’t forgive him easily. But now, his father didn’t blame him at all. The fact that Geoffrey said he would always be his son made Carlos feel even more miserable.

Compared to his father, everything he had done previously was simply inhumane, and he had been worse than a beast!

Maddy also walked to them as tears gushed out of her eyes.

Although she didn’t know why her father had suddenly come to his senses, truly realized his mistakes, and drastically changed his attitude toward her and her grandfather, Maddy knew that it must have something to do with Lucas.

“Thank you so much, Lucas!”

With tears in her eyes, Maddy looked distantly in the direction of downtown DC, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Meanwhile, Lucas had already returned to his newly purchased villa in DC.

It was already half past nine at night, but Cheyenne had yet to return.

He called her twice, but all he heard was the notification that her mobile phone was off. He started to get worried.

They were in DC, and he had already offended many people. It would be terrible if someone wanted to harm her.

To make matters worse, Cheyenne had tagged along with him to DC this time. So Lucas had told Stanley, who used to protect Cheyenne, to look after William and Amelia in Orange County. Thus, there was no one to protect Cheyenne at this time.

While Lucas was restlessly using his connections to start searching for Cheyenne’s whereabouts, she had just left a cocktail reception.

It was the one that the Stones had organized.

Lucas and the others had gone shopping in the afternoon to buy clothes for the reception. But due to Mark’s provocation, which led to his eventual death, Lucas, Jordan, and the Stones were busy settling the matter. But the reception, which the Stones had spent a long time arranging, couldn’t be canceled at the last minute, so Cheyenne had attended it on her own.

At the reception today, Cheyenne had met many well-known entrepreneurs in DC, which would be extremely beneficial for her to develop the Brilliance Corporation in DC in the future.

Due to the frequent incoming calls and text messages that she kept receiving during the reception, her phone had run out of battery and turned off automatically.

At the end of the reception, Cheyenne walked out of the venue and wanted to hail a taxi to go home. But just as she did, a black Lincoln car slowly pulled over beside her.

“Ms. Carter, our boss wants to give you a ride. Please!” A young man in a black suit and white gloves got out from the back of the Lincoln and politely asked Cheyenne to get in.

Cheyenne was vigilant and often kept her guard up, so she naturally wouldn’t get into a stranger’s car.

“No, thank you. Please thank your boss on my behalf. I’ll just take a cab home on my own,” Cheyenne politely declined and then took a few steps to the side.

“Ms. Carter, our boss absolutely doesn’t have any ill intent. He just wants to send you home. Please don’t worry!” The young man panicked and immediately stepped forward to block Cheyenne.

Cheyenne became even more vigilant.

She clutched her purse tightly and refused again with displeasure, “As I’ve said, I’ll be taking a cab home on my own. I don’t need your boss to give me a ride!”

Cheyenne was honestly flustered at this moment.

She was born and raised in Orange County, so she wasn’t quite familiar with DC, much less the people here. Moreover, her phone was out of battery, so she couldn’t call Lucas to ask for help even if she wanted to!

If the other party really forcibly dragged her into the car, she might have to use the small fruit knife in her purse to defend herself.

While Cheyenne was feeling nervous, the door of the Lincoln opened again, and a middle-aged man in his fifties got out and greeted her politely. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Carter.”

When Cheyenne saw the middle-aged man’s face, her eyes widened in surprise.

The middle-aged man standing in front of her was none other than the head of the Huttons, Michael, who was also Lucas’s father!

Cheyenne never thought that the person who wanted to give her a ride home was Lucas’s biological father!

“Ms. Carter, you don’t need to be nervous. You should know about my relationship with your husband, Lucas. I have no ill intent, and I just want to have a casual chat with you. Is that okay?”

Michael’s voice was extremely low, and his tone had a powerlessness, as if he was sick. But he had a gentle and kind look on his face.

Cheyenne suddenly felt a little nervous and awkward.

This middle-aged man was Lucas’s biological father and her father-in-law.

Prior to this, Cheyenne had only seen Michael once at her grandfather Felix’s funeral. But she hadn’t spoken with him before.

But she knew very well that Lucas didn’t want to acknowledge Michael as his father or have anything to do with him. So Cheyenne honestly didn’t want to have any contact with him.

Seemingly seeing Cheyenne’s hesitation, Michael smiled and said, “Since you’re Lucas’s wife, I’d like to have a chat with you. I don’t have any other intentions.”
