Chapter 126: As Stupid as a Pig
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this moment, Aston really wished he could kill his brother-in-law, who was as stupid as a pig!
Anyone with a clear mind would have associated Lucas’s identity with an extraordinary figure after seeing him in the chairman’s office.
Only a fool like Declan would have a death wish and have the audacity to call him a good-for-nothing.
They had already offended Lucas, and they were here to apologize to him. Furthermore, Davis finally gave him the chance to meet him, yet Declan added fuel to the fire and foiled his plans. He was truly a dimwit!
The more Aston thought about it, the angrier he got. He raised his hand and couldn’t resist the urge to slap Declan several times in a row. “Now that things have come to this, you still have the audacity to speak ill of Mr. Gray! You imbecile! Are you brainless or blind? You have repeatedly offended Mr. Gray. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and kneel down to apologize to him.”
Aston kicked and punched Declan mercilessly, causing the latter to bury his head in his hands and beg for mercy. He had already been slapped swollen earlier, and now that there was blood all over his face, he looked extremely hideous.
Declan felt aggrieved and mistreated. Why is Aston hitting me and forcing me to kneel and apologize to Lucas Gray?
But while being beaten up badly by Aston, Declan had no choice but to bear with the humiliation and kneel through gritted teeth. “Mr. Gray, I’m sorry...”
Seeing how reluctant Declan was, Aston slapped him hard on his head again and ordered, “Apologize and reflect on yourself! If Mr. Gray doesn’t forgive you, you will remain here on your knees! Grandpa has already said that if you can’t satisfy Mr. Gray, you’ll die, you good-for-nothing!”
Declan immediately shuddered in fear. He could tell that Aston was not putting on a show for Lucas but was serious about it! If he couldn’t get Lucas to forgive him, the Brookes would really kill him!
At the thought of this, Declan shivered from head to toe and thumped himself down onto the ground. “I’m sorry, Mr. Gray. I was too ignorant and offended you. I’m just a dimwit. Please be kind and forgive me. Please don’t hold it against me!”
This time, Declan’s apologetic attitude was much more sincere than before.
Lucas had been watching them indifferently. He didn’t even frown when Declan was beaten by Aston to the point of bleeding.
At this point, Lucas finally smiled calmly and looked at Aston. “You’re not considered stupid, but do you know how he offended me just now?”
Aston shook his head. Although he had questioned Declan downstairs, Declan said that he met his college classmate and chatted with her briefly. But Lucas soon dashed forward to hit him. However, it was obvious that Declan was lying.
Why would someone of Lucas’s status beat up the foolish Declan for no reason?
“Find out what happened clearly before you come and apologize to me.” Lucas leaned back on the large chair and looked at Aston composedly.
Aston dared not delay any longer. He picked Declan up by the collar and hollered, “Speak up! What exactly happened? How did you offend Mr. Gray? If you lie, I’ll kill you right now!”
Aston was giving out an intense murderous intent. Declan was so frightened that he shivered and no longer dared to hide anything. He came clean about everything that happened between him and Charlotte at the door, followed by his conflict with Lucas.
After hearing this, Aston got even angrier as he glared daggers at Declan, wishing he could strangle him to death immediately!
This loser actually had the audacity to pester another woman behind my sister’s back! And the woman is actually Lucas Gray’s sister-in-law!
This fool has a death wish!
Furious, Aston grabbed the ashtray on the coffee table next to him and smashed it against Declan’s head.
At this moment, he really wanted to kill this useless idiot!
“Stop!” Davis suddenly shouted to stop Aston. “We don’t care what you want to do to him, but don’t make trouble in the Stardust Corporation and dirty our place!”
Jolted awake by the loud shout, Aston finally recovered from his outrage and hurriedly put down the ashtray in his hand, bowed, and apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gray, Mr. Davis. I was just too angry, and I almost alarmed you two. I’m so sorry!”
Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Now that you know what happened, what do you plan to do?”
Aston thought for a moment and said decisively, “In order to express my apology and compensate you, my family and I are willing to leave Orange County and never step foot into the county again unless we have your permission!”
Aston was quick to declare this, but he was already feeling the pinch.
For the sake of expanding their businesses to Orange County, the Brookes had done a lot of work and spent many resources to finally open up a small market. But it seemed it would have to be for nothing.
The fact that a phone call could make the elderly Mr. Brooke send Aston Brooke to placate the furious Lucas meant that he was not to be provoked.
If the market was gone, they could choose to expand to another place. But if they provoked Lucas, he couldn’t imagine the consequences.
After hearing what Aston said, Lucas suddenly smiled. “In fact, I am a person who won’t offend others unless they offend me. If you touch my family, I’ll pay it back to you ten-fold!
“You two had the guts to harbor designs on my wife and bully my sister-in-law. According to my usual practice, there’s no way I would let you two still live in the world.”
The cold sweat on Aston’s body instantly drenched his clothes, and his calves were trembling.
He thought that he had hidden his designs on Cheyenne very deeply. The plan he had intended to execute at the Opulence yesterday fell through, so he was still somewhat fortunate. But now, Lucas’s words clearly told him that Lucas had long seen through his lewd thoughts and was now thinking of killing him!
As for whether Lucas could really take his life, Aston didn’t doubt it at all.
Based on what happened at the Opulence yesterday, the two experts who followed Lucas could easily kill him without letting others detect anything!
Aston reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He forced himself to calm down before saying reluctantly, “Mr. Gray, since you’ve said that, you’ve probably changed your mind, right? What are you planning to do to us now?”
