Yeah, I just need to take out a hundred and fifty thousand in advance. Once William Carter dies, Aunt Karen will be able to pay me back soon.
Once Lucas Gray dies, I’ll not only be able to take revenge, but I can also help the Herons tide through this crisis. It’s indeed a good deal.
While she was carefully calculating the gains and losses in her head, Karen added, “Of course, if you have a better idea that will save us from spending so much money, that’ll be much better.”
Nikki quickly thought through the plan in her head and discovered that Karen’s plan was indeed feasible.
She really couldn’t think of a way to get a person killed quietly without arousing any suspicion.
However…
“But if you have to hire an assassin to kill William, then how can you guarantee that you will be able to kill Lucas Gray quietly after returning to the villa?” Nikki quickly asked when she sensed something amiss.
Not flustered at all, Karen said, “Don’t worry. I’ll find a way to get some drugs when the time comes and make that bastard Lucas Gray get into some kind of accident. That will do the trick.”
Nikki pursed her lips and asked in bewilderment, “If this method of yours works, there isn’t a need for us to spend so much money to hire a killer to kill William Carter. You can just kill him on your own.”
“Ahhhh!” Karen let out a long sigh before saying, “You can’t use the same method to kill two people one after another in a short period of time, right? If you want to see Lucas Gray die quickly, we have to get someone to kill William Carter and make sure he dies in an accident.”
Only then did Nikki come to a sudden realization.
They chose not to get someone to deal with Lucas right away purely because Lucas’s martial arts seemed superb, so they weren’t sure if they could kill him directly.
But William was just an ordinary person who was almost fifty, and he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape their clutches.
Nikki thought of her bank account balance. Although the Herons were now facing the crisis of becoming bankrupt, they weren’t exactly poor yet. She had more than $200,000 in her account left, so it should be enough.
Nikki finally made up her mind and said to Karen, “Okay, I will transfer money to you later, but you have to do a good job, Aunt Karen. There better not be any blunders!”
“Haha, rest assured. Just wait for my good news at home!” Karen laughed heartily with satisfaction.
The two of them settled on the plan. But William, whom they were plotting against, was completely clueless.
He probably would never have thought that the person who had been sleeping on the same bed beside him for nearly the past three decades would want to kill him.
At this moment, William was still busy working in the Solar Corporation.
When he was about to leave work, he suddenly received a call from Cheyenne.
“Dad, let’s have dinner together as a family after you get off work!” Cheyenne’s voice came from the other end.
She had just inadvertently learned that her mother didn’t show her father any concern at all. After work, William wouldn’t get to eat a hot meal at all and could only order takeout or have some instant noodles. It really broke Cheyenne’s heart to see him like this.
But there was no way she could change her mother’s mind, so she could only ask William and the others out for a meal.
Cheyenne also called Karen, but for some reason, Karen didn’t answer her phone nor reply to any of her messages, so Cheyenne could only give up.
William was extremely touched, and he agreed gleefully. “Alright, I’m getting off work now. Thanks to you, I’m going to have a feast today! Where do you guys plan on eating? I haven’t seen Amelia for a while, and I miss her. Text me the address after, and I’ll rush there…”
William chuckled and spoke while leaving the office building and heading toward the parking lot across the road.
Suddenly, a red car came out from the corner, and seemingly out-of-control, it sped straight at him from behind!
Bang!
William, who was chatting with Cheyenne, was immediately caught off guard and hit flying by the car!
With the sound of a loud collision, William’s body was flung nearly twenty meters away like a broken kite.
The surrounding people were all stunned!
But just a few seconds later, the red car ran straight into a building nearby like a cannonball and slammed into it with an even more violent impact. The front of the car was completely stuck in the wall, and the chassis was utterly warped. It was unclear if the driver was alive or not!
Everyone was astonished as they looked at the tragic car accident, and some even screamed at the top of their lungs.
Cheyenne was talking to William on the phone, and her expression changed drastically when she suddenly heard a loud noise followed by complete silence. She yelled into her phone, “Dad? What happened?! Say something, Dad!”
But there was no longer any sound coming from the other end.
Cheyenne’s body began shaking, and she feebly dropped the phone in her hand. Lucas happened to grab it quickly.
Noticing something off, Lucas immediately asked in concern, “What’s wrong, Cheyenne? What’s wrong?”
Charlotte, who was playing with Amelia at the side, also noticed something wrong, especially when Cheyenne’s expression became extremely terrified. She hurriedly asked, “Cheyenne, what happened? Weren’t… weren’t you calling Dad and asking him out for dinner?”
Cheyenne was swaying from side to side as she muttered softly, “No… Impossible. Dad will definitely be fine! Nothing will happen to him!”
Then she immediately dashed out.
At this time, even the most daft person would be able to guess that William must have had an accident.
Lucas put Amelia into Charlotte’s arms. “Charlotte, stay here and take care of Amelia. I’ll go check out the situation!”
With that, he ran out after Cheyenne, not having time to say anything else.
Cheyenne was so flustered that she just ran toward William’s workplace by instinct, but she was at least several kilometers away, so how could she reach it on foot?
Lucas rushed forward and pulled Cheyenne into his embrace.
“Cheyenne, calm down! No matter what has happened, I will face it with you! Don’t panic,” he said softly to Cheyenne.
Only when Cheyenne was in his embrace did she snap out of her panic. As soon as she saw Lucas’s concerned gaze, she burst into tears. “Lucas! I-I-I just heard a sudden loud noise from Dad’s side, and there were people screaming near him. He fell silent afterward. He must have had an accident! I’m so scared!”
Lucas said comfortingly, “It’s okay. We’ll rush over there now!”
He brought Cheyenne into his car and sped all the way toward the Solar Corporation’s Orange County branch.
But halfway there, he suddenly received a phone call.
“Lucas, my subordinates just received news that William just had a car accident in front of the office and is now being rushed to the nearest hospital!”
