“Bryce!”
“My son!”
Both Dominic and Sarah yelled anxiously while dashing toward Bryce and Lucas.
“Get out of the way!” Jordan roared and stopped them, causing the hearts of Dominic and Sarah to immediately palpitate as fear arose within them. Indeed, they dared not take half a step closer.
Watching his grandson’s wrist being trampled in front of him by Lucas, the good-for-nothing he had kicked out of the family, Dominic boiled with fury that was almost ruining his rationality.
But he had no choice but to clench his teeth as the loose skin on his cheeks started trembling. After a long time, he said, “Lucas Gray, hurry up and let go of Bryce, and I can pretend nothing happened! Otherwise, when the Hales’ people get here, they won’t spare you! The Carters will deal with you too!”
Lucas sneered and mocked, “Just you wait and see what the Hales and the Carters can do to me!”
Dominic could tell from the gaze in Lucas’s eyes that he really didn’t take the powerful Hale family seriously at all, let alone the Carters.
Lucas didn’t care about his threat!
Lucas moved his foot onto one of Bryce’s legs, and before he even started pressing down, Bryce had already started shrieking miserably.
“Lucas, I beg you. Please… just let me off! I really know I was wrong!” Overwhelmed with pain, Bryce burst into tears and shivered while begging for mercy.
At this point, he looked extremely disheveled, and his eyes were full of regret, but Lucas didn’t plan to let him off just like that.
Bryce was the type who would never learn his lesson. Whenever he was in a disadvantageous situation, he would swallow his pride, beg for forgiveness, admit to his mistakes, and then promise that he would never do it again. But every time Lucas forgave him on Cheyenne’s account, he would forget the previous lesson and then provoke Lucas again. He would then repeat the same trick and challenge Lucas’s bottom line again and again.
Besides, Lucas was truly infuriated by what Bryce had done this morning. He was already showing the greatest mercy to Bryce by letting him live on Cheyenne’s account. Otherwise, Bryce would have definitely disappeared from this world by now.
“You want me to let you off? I can, but your grandfather has to beg me!” Lucas glanced at Dominic at the side and then suddenly smiled peculiarly.
Hasn’t Dominic Carter always treated Bryce Carter as his only grandchild and regarded Cheyenne as a stepping stone and a pawn? I’ll see how far he can go for Bryce Carter!
After hearing what Lucas said, Bryce felt like he had seen a glimmer of hope while he was feeling hopeless. He hurriedly yelled at Dominic, “Grandpa! Grandpa! Did you hear that? If you beg Lucas, he’ll let me off! Grandpa, go beg him quickly! Otherwise, he’s going to crush my leg!”
Dominic’s face trembled a few times, and he was seething with anger. He was furious at both Lucas and his grandson.
Why should I beg Lucas Gray?!
He’s just a live-in son-in-law I kicked out of the family. He comes from a humble background and is a nameless and penniless punk. He’s so arrogant and domineering just because he can fight!
Lucas had gone to the Carter residence, but they couldn’t find anyone to retaliate against him. This alone was already embarrassing enough. It was akin to an insult and a slap on Dominic’s face. If he still agreed to Lucas’s demand and swallowed his pride to beg him, what would that make him, Dominic Carter?
Besides, Bryce was really unruly. After hearing Lucas’s demand, he not only didn’t refute, but he even asked Dominic to swallow his pride and beg Lucas… Is he the beloved grandson I pinned my hopes on, pampered, loved greatly, and even drove away Cheyenne’s family without hesitation for? Is he the grandson I tried so hard to support and groom into the next successor?
At this moment, Dominic’s heart was full of disappointment toward Bryce.
He clenched his teeth and stayed silent. Of course, he wasn’t going to plead with Lucas.
“It seems that you don’t matter that much to your grandfather. In fact, his pride and dignity probably matter more than your leg,” Lucas deliberately said while stepping down onto Bryce’s leg.
“Ah! Ah! Grandpa! Grandpa, hurry up and beg him. Hurry up and beg him… Ah!”
Bryce’s desperate pleas in panic suddenly turned into a miserable howl with the clear and crisp sound of his bones breaking. His deafening cry seemed to cut the eardrums of the people around him.
Bryce’s leg and wrist were crushed by Lucas, and so were his tendons and muscles. Even the most advanced medical technology couldn’t save him.
“Lucas Gray! You…” Dominic gritted his teeth and stopped himself from cursing, but he couldn’t suppress the resentment on his face.
“He still has an intact leg and arm. So, are you going to beg me or not?” Lucas smiled and once again raised his foot to step on Bryce’s other leg.
In the eyes of all the Carters around, his smile was simply like the smile of the most terrifying demon, making them shudder.
It was their first time knowing that there was such a terrifying side to the person they had always despised and treated as a good-for-nothing.
Bryce was already overwhelmed with pain, and his consciousness was growing fuzzy. He could only turn to look at Dominic pleadingly.
Dominic knew that Lucas was forcing him to succumb, but he still couldn’t force himself to do it. He couldn’t imagine what a terrible situation it would be if he did so and begged Lucas for mercy!
“You want me to beg you? Impossible! Even if I die, I won’t beg you! If you want to break Bryce’s limbs, you’d better remember how you’re breaking his legs right now. When the Hales’ people come later, I will make sure I take revenge for Bryce and do the same thing to you!” Dominic glared at Lucas with immense hatred in his eyes.
Lucas couldn’t help bursting into laughter. “Now that things have come to this, you’re still thinking of relying on the power of the Hales to deal with me? What a joke!”
“What do you mean by that? Do you think that you can retaliate against the Hales with your combat skills? You’re the ridiculously naive one!” Dominic exclaimed firmly with a frown.
Lucas looked at Dominic sympathetically and sneered. “What a frog in a well. You already witnessed at the Hales’ banquet last night just how I offended them. Logically speaking, they would have never let go of someone who dared to provoke them like that. Yet I’m still standing here today alive and well. Can’t you figure out the reason for this?”
