Chapter 181: A Bunch of Fools

Dominic was even more frightened by the several silvery-gray Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles that drove in one after another. They were obviously the standard vehicles allocated to the senior executives of the Hale family. All the people who alighted were the general managers and leaders of all major enterprises under the Hales. They walked past Dominic one by one and bowed to Lucas respectfully.

“Wh-what exactly is going on here?!”

“Why are these people so… so respectful toward Lucas Gray? It’s like he’s some prestigious and mighty bigshot.”

“Yeah, I know that Mr. Farrer. He’s always so lofty and condescending toward us, yet he’s now smiling so subserviently to Lucas Gray…”

“Oh my god. What’s wrong with this world? This is too surreal!”

Dumbfounded, the Carters watched the scene taking place before them and gathered together to discuss it among themselves. They were all looking in shock at Lucas and the senior executives of the Hale enterprises, who were all surrounding Lucas like he was a revered leader.

The scene in front of them was simply beyond their understanding!

Even Lucas didn’t expect that all the executives of the Hale family would come to him and express their intentions to stand on his side.

Although Lucas didn’t reveal his identity at the baby shower thrown by the Hales yesterday and even refused to admit that he had summoned the soldiers when Bruce Hale pleaded with him, many of them had guessed that he played a crucial part in that operation.

Moreover, Lucas’s terrifying combat skills also spurred them to unanimously choose to stand on his side and try to rope him in. Even if they couldn’t win him over, they definitely couldn’t offend him!

Just when Dominic was overwhelmed with uneasiness, Holmes, whom he had called over earlier, walked toward him with a hostile expression.

“Dominic Carter, you’re such a vicious old fogy! You are well aware that Mr. Gray is a prestigious figure not to be trifled with, yet you deliberately lured me over and tried to get me to help you deal with Mr. Gray. You’re really malicious!” Holmes hollered furiously while pointing at Dominic’s nose.

He had brought a few bodyguards with him because the Carters had given him a large amount of money in exchange. But when he heard that the person the Carters wanted him to help deal with was Lucas, his heart dropped. By the time he turned around again, Lucas was already standing near him and looking at him smilingly. He instantly regretted his decision and was thankful that he had decided to tag along on a whim!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that his bodyguards were to offend Lucas. If Lucas decided to settle scores with him afterward, he would be in trouble.

At the thought of this, Holmes resented Dominic greatly.

The rest of the Hale family were rather hostile to Dominic too.

After the two hundred soldiers had taken away all the Hales at the banquet yesterday, the executives and managerial staff of the various enterprises under the Hale family were all flustered, anxious, and in a state of confusion.

After they left the Hale residence, they had gathered together quietly and spent the rest of the night discussing their following plans. Although they hadn’t thought about the future of the companies, they came to a unanimous decision that they definitely couldn’t provoke Lucas Gray. In fact, if it was necessary, they might even express some good intentions to him to get him to stand on their side.

Otherwise, the companies that had lost the leadership of the Hales would become highly coveted by everyone in Orange County.

Now, the Carters actually almost used the Hales and turned them into Lucas’s enemy. This made all the people in charge of the Hale businesses extremely exasperated! They couldn’t forgive the Carters!

“Dominic Carter, I’m telling you, the company belonging to the Hales that I’m in charge of will terminate all cooperation with the Carters!”

“Me too! The Carters have approached me on several occasions to seek cooperation with the Dragon Co. I hereby give you my answer. Dragon Co. will never cooperate with the Carters again!”

“Same goes for Feather Co! From today onward, I will blacklist the Carters!”

…

One after another, the top executives of the Hale businesses made their stand to forever draw a line with the Carters and blacklist them.

When Dominic heard all of this, his face instantly paled, and his lips trembled.

Previously, Dominic had been going around and using money to forge connections with the senior executives of the Hale companies in hopes that they would consider the Carters when selecting partners to cooperate with. Many were willing to do the Carters a favor for the sake of the money.

According to the plan that Dominic had previously come up with, he would first obtain the chance to cooperate with the Hales and then find ways to gradually get closer to the direct descendants of the Hales in order to soar high and restore the Carters’ power as a third-rate family in Orange County. He thought that it was even possible to bring their power a notch higher!

However, all the executives of the Hale enterprises had now blatantly turned down the Carters and cut off all possibilities of cooperation in the future!

Why?

Is it just because I offended Lucas Gray?

But Lucas Gray is really a good-for-nothing!

Dominic couldn’t even think of the reason. But since the matter had come to this, he could only ask reluctantly, “We were clearly on good terms before, so why? Is it just because of that good-for-nothing Lucas Gray I kicked out of the family?”

“Good-for-nothing? Hah. Indeed, you Carters are all completely ignorant fools! Mr. Gray has the ability to make the Hales disappear from Orange County overnight, yet you guys kicked him out of your family. You people are foolish beyond redemption!”

Holmes looked at Dominic as if he was looking at a dimwit. The Carters had such a powerful son-in-law, but they chose to kick him out of their family. It was simply pathetic!

If the Carters had known about Lucas’s power and treated him better instead of offending him endlessly, they would have become an extraordinary and supreme existence that no one in Orange County would dare to disregard.

Unfortunately, there was no turning back, and the Carters had only themselves to blame for being stupid!

After hearing from Holmes that the Hales had disappeared from Orange County overnight, Dominic was stunned and stupefied with disbelief!

In particular, Holmes even said that Lucas was the one who caused the destruction!

“How… how is this possible? How is this possible?!” Dominic’s legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground while muttering to himself incessantly. He didn’t dare to believe his ears at all.
