Karen was so shocked that her face turned pale. She immediately argued, “You… don’t accuse me! If your people didn’t pick me up, how could I have ended up here? Moreover, I already brought Amelia here and handed her over to your subordinate! He told me that he took Amelia away!
“It’s the middle-aged man who just went out to receive you. He looks really hostile and austere, as if everyone owes him money! If you don’t believe me, you can call him over right now and ask him where he took Amelia!”
But after hearing what she said, Moses sneered. “My subordinate? I’ve already said that I didn’t send anyone over, and no one came out to receive me. Who do you want me to clarify with, huh?”
But after saying this, Moses also discovered that something was amiss.
Karen sounded reasonable, and she didn’t seem to be lying either. Otherwise, the fact that she had the guts to ask him to meet her at such a faraway place when Amelia wasn’t with her was enough for him to teach her a hard lesson.
Given how scared she was of death and how she liked to bully the weak while fearing the strong, he thought that she probably wouldn’t dare to deceive him.
In that case…
Could people have really impersonated my subordinates just now and brought Karen and her granddaughter here before quietly taking the kid away?
The text message he received to change the location of the handover had probably not been sent by Karen.
Besides, after receiving the text message, he had called Karen several times, but he had never managed to reach her. He reckoned that someone had probably gotten up to some nonsense in between!
Who exactly…
A great sense of uneasiness suddenly surged in Moses’s heart, as if his actions had been exposed to a pair of invisible eyes, leaving him with nowhere to hide.
A sudden chill rose in his heart, and he couldn’t help shuddering.
Bang! The door of the villa suddenly opened violently from outside.
Moses was startled as he watched several tall and burly men streaming in from outside.
Karen jumped up in shock too, but she soon pointed at a middle-aged man among the crowd and said excitedly to Moses, “Look over there! It’s the man on the far right! He’s the one you sent to pick us up, and he’s the one who took Lucas’s daughter away!”
But at this moment, Moses didn’t even look at the middle-aged man Karen identified.
All his attention was on the elegant young man in his thirties in the middle of the crowd.
“You’re… Joe Daniels!” Moses recognized Joe because he had supported Lucas at the Kingston manor when Lucas broke into it just a few days ago.
Reason being, his looks were unlike that of a big boss, but it happened that he was the person in charge of Little Atlantis City and was responsible for all the underground businesses in Orange County. Thus, Moses recognized him.
He’s on Lucas’s side, so he probably…
While Moses was thinking about it, figures suddenly walked in from outside, almost all of whom were people Moses was familiar with!
Bruce Hale, head of the Hales!
Damon Parker, head of the Parkers!
And… Lucas Gray!
In fact, when Moses saw Joe appear alone, he still fantasized a little. After all, Joe was in charge of the underground businesses in Orange County, and his underlings were all over Orange County. If he had noticed his behavior, it wouldn’t be that strange.
But when he saw Damon and Bruce, his heart immediately sank to rock bottom.
When he saw Lucas, his face was already incredibly ugly.
As soon as he saw the great enemy who had killed his son, a wave of resentment and killing intent kept gushing out from his body beyond his control.
But he wasn’t a fool and knew that he couldn’t act rashly at this moment. He also knew that the current situation was extremely bad for him.
Lucas and the several forces that had once supported him at the Kingston manor appearing here at the same time was definitely not a coincidence.
Recalling what Karen had said to him earlier about Lucas’s daughter being taken away by people who pretended to be his subordinates, Moses naturally could guess easily who the mastermind was!
In fact, they had probably long seen all his actions!
Standing at the side, Karen didn’t know Joe and Bruce, but she nevertheless widened her mouth in horror when she saw Damon and Lucas behind them!
She had abducted Amelia and intended to hand her over to Moses. So now that she saw Lucas, she felt extremely guilty and once again felt as though she was about to face a huge disaster.
It’s over. Lucas must have already found out!
But what shocked her even more was still to come.
After Lucas appeared, Cheyenne and Charlotte actually appeared too, and the more outrageous thing was that they were pushing a wheelchair.
The person sitting in the wheelchair was someone Karen thought could never be here!
“William… William Carter?!” She was so shocked that she couldn’t control her voice for a moment, and she even screamed at the top of her lungs. She felt as if she was being blasted by five thunderbolts, and there was a massive explosion in her head.
The man whom she had been treating as a vegetable and someone half-dead was now sitting alive and well in a wheelchair, glowering at her furiously.
Karen subconsciously shuddered and wanted to find a place to hide.
Fury was written all over William’s face as he stared at Karen as if he was looking at a snake. “Karen, although we’ve lived together for almost three decades, it’s only now that I’ve realized what your true colors are! I didn’t expect you to be such a vicious woman! Amelia is so young, yet you actually brought her to a stranger. Are you even human?”
Beside him, Cheyenne and Charlotte looked at Karen with disbelief.
In particular, amid Cheyenne’s sorrow, there were also a few traces of hatred and mockery.
“At this point, I can no longer bring myself to call you ‘Mom’ because your actions are not something that a mother could possibly do! I trusted you so much that I asked you to bring Amelia away to a safe place, but what did you do? You brought Amelia straight to Lucas’s enemy! Have you ever thought about what Amelia would have faced?
“She’s only five years old! You watched her grow up, and she calls you Grandma so affectionately every single day. How could you bear to do such a thing? You… you’re simply…”
