The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 594 - Make A Choice

Chapter 594: Make A Choice

“What? You… you want me to bring Amelia here and hand her over to you?!” Karen was astonished.
She would have never thought that Moses wanted her to do this!
Although… Cheyenne was not her biological daughter, and she even hated her at times because of some reasons, Amelia…
No matter what, she had watched Amelia grow up since she was a baby and had even been Amelia’s grandmother for years!
Besides, Amelia was still young, obedient, and adorable…
Karen was not entirely an unfeeling and ruthless woman.
Although she had always wanted to kill Lucas and William and would occasionally bully Cheyenne, she had never wanted to kill Cheyenne and Amelia.
If she really brought Amelia out to Moses, the small and pretty little girl would definitely die.
She… she really couldn’t bring herself to do such a thing!
“No! It’s okay if you want me to do something else, but… but Amelia is my granddaughter after all. Even if I hate Lucas Gray and desperately want to kill him, I can’t harm a five-year-old child!” Karen refused in a flustered manner.
Moses was a little surprised to see this.
He didn’t expect this foolish woman, who was crazy enough to want to kill her husband and son-in-law, would actually be softhearted for a moment and unable to bring herself to do such a thing.
“You seem to be misunderstanding something. I just want you to use her as bait to lure Lucas Gray out. I only want to kill him to make him pay for my son’s life. Of course, I won’t kill a five-year-old child. Once Lucas Gray is dead, I’ll let her go immediately! How does that sound?”
He pretended to be nice and even promised not to harm Amelia’s life, immediately causing Karen’s originally firm heart to waver.
But she didn’t see the ruthless killing intent flickering at the bottom of his eyes.
Hah, Lucas Gray killed my son and caused me to end up with no heir. How could I possibly let his daughter off?
So what if she’s young? If she has to blame anyone, she should blame her damn father!
Using Lucas’s daughter to threaten him was the best solution that Moses came up with after considering countless options.
After all, Lucas’s combat skills were extremely terrifying, and he had witnessed them a few days ago at the Kingston manor.
So if he wanted to kill him, he could only think of another solution.
After thinking about it, Moses looked at Lucas’s little daughter.
He had initially arranged for some people to take Lucas’s daughter, Amelia, away from the kindergarten. But after they got there, they discovered that the security at the kindergarten was rather tight, and they couldn’t find any loopholes at all. Moreover, it was in the downtown area, so even if they took her by force, it would be difficult for them to flee successfully.
So Moses immediately thought of the second person who he could use—Karen, Lucas’s mother-in-law, who bore extreme hatred toward him.
Moreover, with her identity as Amelia’s grandmother, she could easily bring Amelia away from the kindergarten.
Karen lowered her head without saying anything, clearly contemplating whether she could trust Moses’s words or not. After all, even until now, Moses didn’t reveal his identity.
Seeing how Karen was behaving, Moses snorted coldly and said in displeasure, “Don’t forget. I’m not asking for your opinion. I’m demanding you do what I say! Otherwise, you can just wait for this recording to spread like wildfire!
“Remember, if you don’t hand over Lucas Gray’s daughter to me by six o’clock tomorrow night, I will make this recording go public. If you want to spend the rest of your life in prison, do as you please!”
With that, he threw a card with only a phone number on it to Karen. “That’s my phone number. Call me once you’ve thought it over and made up your mind!”
Then Moses turned around to leave.
The thin card fluttered in the air before floating down and landing on the ground.
Karen thought about it but nevertheless gritted her teeth, bent over to pick up the card, and squeezed in her hand.
At this moment, she felt extremely conflicted.
If she really took Amelia out of the kindergarten and handed her to him, she really didn’t dare to guarantee that the man would let Amelia go in the end.
Reason being, he bore a grudge against Lucas for killing his son, and after seeing the hatred in his bloodshot eyes, Karen didn’t think that he would be one to let his enemy’s children off.
Thus, the result was obvious. If she really handed Amelia over to him, there was a 100% chance that she would die!
But if she didn’t do as he said, Moses would expose the recording, which would put Karen behind bars for the rest of her life!
She was torn between her granddaughter’s life and her own well-being for the rest of her life.
Karen was full of regret and stuck in a dilemma.
Had she known that she would be in such a dilemma, she should have…
However, no amount of regret was going to help now.
She had to choose between the two options!
…
Half an hour later, Karen returned to the hospital ward.
But she was empty-handed and didn’t buy any food. She even looked rather disoriented.
“Mom, did something happen? Didn’t you say you were going to buy some food? Why…” Cheyenne asked with concern.
“Huh? Oh, oh right!” Karen came back to her senses and remembered the excuse she had casually given to leave the hospital.
But at the time, she had wanted to take the opportunity to leave the hospital and just stay away from Lucas.
However, she now had no choice but to come back here again.
When she thought of the decision she had just made, she suddenly didn’t dare to look Cheyenne in the eye.
She coughed twice to cover up and said, “Ah, maybe it’s because I’m getting old, so I’ve become forgetful! I actually forgot about getting food after I went out for a walk!”
Looking chagrined, she patted her forehead.
Cheyenne quickly pulled her to sit down and smile. “Mom, you’re not even fifty years old yet. You’re not old at all. But I’ve noticed that you seem to be very tired and out of sorts lately. Lie down to have some rest!”
Cheyenne looked at the tiny crow’s feet in the corners of Karen’s eyes and suddenly realized that her mother, who had always been good at maintaining a youthful appearance, seemed to have suddenly aged a lot in just a few days.
She couldn’t help feeling guilty.
Her father, William, had suddenly gotten into a serious accident, and Karen had also subsequently suffered several mishaps. She had even gotten abused by the Taylors.
But as Karen’s daughter, she had been distrusting of her mother and had even kept her guard up against her, making an effort to keep a distance from her.
Cheyenne tried to empathize with Karen and thought that she had to be feeling miserable now!
After Cheyenne thought about it, her attitude toward Karen became less hostile, and she even talked to her about the interesting events that happened when she was a child.
But Cheyenne probably would have never thought that Karen had long decided to harm her daughter, Amelia!
