The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray - Chapter 530

Chapter 530: Great Influence

The feeling of being trusted made Lucas feel a great sense of relief. At the same time, he also felt heartened.

Since Charlotte was willing to believe him, Lucas stopped hiding the truth from her and gave her a brief explanation of everything that had happened last night.

“She did something unforgivable, so I arranged for people to send her back to the Turner residence in LA. But she was suddenly abducted by some people along the way. I’ve been checking her whereabouts, but I haven’t been able to find her until she appeared on the stream just now and said those things.”

Charlotte frowned. “Who could be trying to harm my mom? And why did she suddenly say those things… Ah!”

She suddenly shrieked, and her expression immediately changed drastically as she grabbed Lucas’s arm. “I know! Someone is deliberately going against you and the Stardust Corporation. That’s why they abducted my mom and even forced her to say those things on the stream. Is this the case? This means my mom is definitely in danger now! Don’t you think so, Lucas?”

Lucas comforted seriously, “Charlotte, I can’t guarantee anything now, and I can’t say that I’ll be able to bring your mom home safely either. But I’ll definitely do my best to find her!”

Charlotte understood that Lucas had searched for Karen for an entire night, which meant that the other party should have hidden their tracks very well. Since they could target the Stardust Corporation as well, they also had to be extremely powerful. So she could understand that Lucas wouldn’t be able to guarantee that he could bring Karen home.

“I know, Lucas. So, what should we do now? Are we supposed to just wait at home for news?” She gritted her teeth, feeling extremely indignant.

“Charlotte, there’s no point in being so anxious now. Leave it to me to search for your mom.

“Moreover, don’t forget that you’re now the general manager of the Stardust Corporation. The stream earlier has already left a serious impact on our company’s image, and the subsequent matters will also trigger a series of drastic changes. I’ll leave it to you to handle everything!”

Only then did Charlotte suddenly realize that she had been too preoccupied with asking about Karen in a moment of panic, so much so that she didn’t realize until now how tremendous a blow Karen’s words had dealt the Stardust Corporation.

Indeed, since she was now the general manager of the company, she had to take responsibility and handle this matter properly!

“Yes, Mr. Gray. Just leave all the matters regarding the company to me! I’ll definitely handle this unexpected crisis well and protect our company!”

There was determination written all over her face.

Since she couldn’t help with finding Karen, she at least had to fulfill the responsibility required by her job and handle the company’s situation well so that Lucas wouldn’t have to worry. She could also foil the plans of those who abducted her mother!

“Okay, I’ll leave the company to you.” With that, Lucas turned around and left the office.

Seeing Lucas’s slightly fatigued figure, Charlotte suddenly felt that he seemed even more noble to her now. At the same time, she felt a little more heartache.

Charlotte had seen how Karen used to treat Lucas, and it could be said that Karen simply treated him like an enemy. Even though she and Cheyenne had long accepted him, and even their father had also changed his attitude toward him, Karen’s attitude was still as hostile as ever. It was as if she’d kick Lucas out of their home at any time.

Now that Karen suddenly encountered a mishap, he actually put the past behind him and sent people to find and save her. Besides, Charlotte had just seen how bloodshot his eyes were. She reckoned that he must have stayed up all night to wait for news about Karen!

How could Charlotte not admire a man like him?

…

After Lucas left the office, he called Bruce. “Have you found out anything from those streaming websites?”

Bruce didn’t dare to delay and immediately said, “Yes! We’ve already investigated and found that the four streamers are signed to the Taylors’ entertainment company. This matter must be related to the Taylors! However, I haven’t been able to find where Karen Turner is.”

“The Taylors… hmph!” Killing intent flashed in Lucas’s eyes. “She definitely won’t be in the same place. They must have already moved. The Taylors, hah!”

With a sneer, Lucas hung up and drove to the Taylors’ villa.

On the other end of the phone, Bruce’s eyes were full of immense joy.

It seemed that Lucas was bent on seeking trouble with the Taylors.

Therefore, the Taylors would no longer need to exist in Orange County!

The Hales might be able to rise and truly become the top family in Orange County!

The thought of the scene alone made Bruce extremely excited.

——

Meanwhile, Scott Taylor was holding his phone in his villa and reporting the situation on his side to Marc. “Mr. Kingston, have you watched the stream that just sparked an uproar on the internet? The effects were completely beyond our expectations, and the influence is far greater than we expected. Are you satisfied?”

Scott was smiling smugly as he tried to ask Marc for credit.

“Are you a fool?”

To Scott’s surprise, Marc not only didn’t show any joy or praise him, but he even lashed out at him, causing Scott to be stunned!

“I told you to destroy only the Orange County branch of the Stardust Corporation helmed by Lucas Gray. Who told you to draw ire to the entire Stardust Corporation? Great. Now the entire Stardust Corporation is implicated because of your idiotic plan. The company’s market value and image have been greatly affected. Even if you sell the entire Taylor family, you won’t be able to fill this hole!

“You’re utterly stupid. Trust you to have the cheek to ask me if I’m satisfied. I’ll rip your head off right now. Will you be satisfied?” Marc roared in fury.

Scott should really be grateful that the two of them were on the phone right now. Otherwise, Marc would definitely break his neck!

Scott failed to take credit and was scolded instead. He was afraid and aggrieved for a bit, but he hurriedly defended, “But Mr. Kingston, I didn’t say that Lucas is the chairman of the Stardust Corporation! I just got Karen Turner to say that he is the head of the Orange County branch…”

Hearing this, Marc was even more enraged!

“Are you really a fool? You made such a big stir online, and everyone only knows that Lucas is the head of Stardust Corporation. No one cares which branch it is! Your approach was ridiculous!

“You created such a big mess. All you idiots can go to hell! All the netizens are cursing the Stardust Corporation and want to boycott the entire Stardust Corporation. When the Huttons find out, they’ll skin you alive! You’re just deliberately giving me trouble, aren’t you?!”

“What?!” The thought that this matter would blow up to the extent of offending the Huttons made Scott instantly shudder and fall to the ground!
