Chapter 183: Level the Villa

This look shocked Holmes greatly, causing him to shudder. He felt at ease only when he saw Lucas turn his head away and not hold it against him.
With a cold gaze in his eyes, Dominic suddenly said, “Lucas Gray, if you want to use this trick to make me thankful to you, you can save it. My opinion of you will never change!”
Lucas chuckled slightly. “You’re reading too much into things. I don’t care what your opinion is. I just feel unjust for Cheyenne. To you, Cheyenne is just an outsider and a pawn that you can use, but she has always treated you guys as her family.
“What I want to tell you is that if Cheyenne hadn’t pleaded for the Carters in front of me twice and asked me to let you off, the Carters would have long been annihilated! You and the rest of the Carters have all done Cheyenne wrong!”
Dominic suddenly widened his eyes in shock, and he subconsciously wanted to refute Lucas and say that Cheyenne and her family were the ones who owed the Carters something. He wanted to say that it was only right for them to repay the Carters!
However, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Does Cheyenne’s family really owe us anything?
Even if William Carter was not his biological son, Dominic was the one who decided to marry his mother and take him as his own son.
On the other hand, Cheyenne and Charlotte were even more innocent. Although they were raised with the Carters’ money, most of the money was left to them by William’s mother, and only a small portion was from the Carters.
Besides, Cheyenne had single-handedly created the Brilliance Corporation when she was in college and helped the Carters earn countless benefits and profits that far surpassed the meager amount they gave them.
Thus, Cheyenne didn’t owe the Carters anything!
Instead, it was the Carters who had done numerous terrible things to Cheyenne. They ruined her reputation, robbed her of her company, and even made her continue slogging her guts out for the Carters. When they discovered that she had been disobedient, they even kicked her out!
But the Carters managed to survive until now all thanks to the pleas for mercy of this granddaughter whom Dominic had used, despised, and even disowned…
After thinking about it carefully in hindsight, he finally realized that he was outrageously wrong!
He and the Carters indeed owed Cheyenne a lot!
Dominic finally looked remorseful. He was just about to say something, but he suddenly heard mechanical sounds coming from outside the Carter residence. It was as if a large machine had begun to make the ground shake.
Everyone looked over in the direction of the sound, only to see more than ten large and tall excavators lined up at the gate of the Carter residence.
Excavators?
When Dominic saw the machines, a thought quickly popped up in his mind.
Is… Lucas Gray… going to…?!
As he expected, Lucas looked at these excavators and ordered indifferently, “Level it.”
With this order, the large and cold excavators drove into the Carter residence mercilessly. The tall walls collapsed, and rubble and dust spread all over the yard.
Upon seeing Lucas order the excavators into the Carter residence, the senior executives of the Hale enterprises were smart enough to retreat and stand far away outside the gates to watch the situation.
Dominic knew that Lucas was exacting revenge on the Carters for Bryce’s act of trying to demolish Cheyenne’s home with an excavator. But there was nothing he could say. He could only stand still and close his eyes.
It was all karma. Lucas was now in power. If he wanted to take revenge on the Carters, what else could he do?
The remaining members of the Carter family were running around the front yard and screaming in panic. These villas were their home, and they obviously couldn’t tolerate having their home leveled by the excavators.
Of course, they didn’t dare to stop those tall machines. They could only beg Lucas, “Lucas, please don’t destroy our home!”
“Lucas, we may have disliked you in the past, but we’ve never done anything horrid to you! It was Bryce who offended you. We don’t care how you retaliate against Bryce, but you can’t drag the entire family down with him!”
“Lucas, please stop on the account that we used to be family. Otherwise, all the children in our family will become homeless!”
…
The Carters all surrounded Lucas and were trying to dissuade him. Some tried to shirk responsibility, some tried to play the kinship card, and some even carried their children to Lucas and pleaded with him to let them off.
Actually, the Carters might not be kind people, as they had previously mocked him and Cheyenne and even kicked them when they were down. But what angered Lucas was the behavior and misdeeds of Bryce and Dominic. The other members were actually implicated by them.
Seeing the Carters gathered around Lucas begging him for mercy, some of whom were even ready to kneel down, Dominic widened his eyes in anger and roared, “Shut up! No one is allowed to beg him again, and no one is allowed to kneel down in front of him! The Carters might have made mistakes, but we must have a backbone too! So what if the houses are gone? As long as we’re still alive, we can always build our home again!”
Lucas was indeed surprised that Dominic could still have such a strong backbone in such circumstances.
The excavators raised their long mechanical arms high and soon demolished a villa after a few prods. The entire villa was torn down to the ground and destroyed beyond recognition!
Bang!
A massive sound erupted. Everyone looked over, only to have their jaws drop as they watched the exquisite and beautiful villa turn into ruins. In the blink of an eye, smoke and dust rose and filled the entire residence.
The demolished villa was the one that Bryce and Sarah Hadley owned.
Unfortunately, both of them were still lying unconscious on the ground and didn’t witness the scene with their own eyes. Otherwise, they would have wailed and cursed their hearts out.
While the other members of the Carter family were staring at the excavators uneasily and worried about their own villas getting demolished, the excavators suddenly stopped and then turned around to leave instead of driving farther.
Everyone watched the scene in shock. Only after the ten-odd excavators left the yard did they snap back to their senses. Lucas had only leveled Bryce’s villa and let the rest of them off!
