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

1242 He Disappeared

“Dad, I’m sending someone to look for Angus in Orange County now,” Brett said over the phone.

After hanging up, Brett called Angus a few times, only to hear that the phone was off and no one could be reached.

He frowned and called White Claw, Angus’s bodyguard. But he couldn’t reach him either.

Brett’s expression became grim.

If it was only Angus who couldn’t be reached, it could be due to special circumstances such as his phone’s battery running out.

But since neither of them could be contacted, something had likely gone wrong.

“Immediately send people to investigate what time Angus arrived in Orange County yesterday and where he went. Find him immediately!” Brett said to a butler beside him.

“Yes, Sir!” The butler acknowledged and immediately got to it.

An hour later, the butler returned to Brett with a few documents and reported, “Sir, there’s still no news about Mr. Angus’s whereabouts yet. This is the information about Mr. Angus’s traces that my subordinates have found. Please take a look!”

The documents had information on Angus’s itinerary for the past few days, as well as the people he had come into contact with. There didn’t seem to be anything unusual.

But after Angus and his bodyguard had lunch at a restaurant yesterday, they went missing, and there were no traces of their whereabouts afterward.

Angus was a scion of the Hamiltons, and he had even brought one of the most elite bodyguards of the family with him. How could he possibly vanish into thin air all of a sudden?

Something must have happened!

Brett slammed the document onto the table and ordered, “Send everyone to search for him! No matter what, we have to find Angus even if we have to turn Orange City inside out!”

He already had an ominous premonition that something might have happened to Angus.

But even if something happened to him, he had to see him, dead or alive!

If someone really dared to lay a hand on Angus, he had to find the murderer!

At this moment, Lucas’s face suddenly surfaced in Brett’s mind.

The Hales were undoubtedly the most powerful force in Orange County.

Moreover, even Bruce, the helmsman of the Hales, was extremely respectful and polite to Lucas. This was enough to show that his status was much higher than Bruce’s.

Brett didn’t believe that Lucas was merely an abandoned son of the Huttons.

After returning from the Hale residence yesterday, Brett had sent his men to investigate Lucas.

It was then that he discovered that Lucas’s life experience was extremely strange. Lucas was indeed an illegitimate son who had been kicked out by the Huttons when he was a child, but he had soon disappeared for six years after he became the Carters’ live-in husband.

When Lucas reappeared in Orange County half a year ago, he had changed drastically, and his subordinate forces had all developed rapidly.

As for where Lucas had been and what he had experienced to undergo these changes during these six years, Brett was unable to find out anything.

And now, Lucas was the true boss of California.

If something really happened to Angus here, it might have something to do with Lucas!

Brett clenched his fists tightly. “Lucas Gray, who exactly are you… I hope my brother’s disappearance has nothing to do with you. Otherwise…”

Ruthlessness gleamed in his eyes.

…

Meanwhile, in the villa in the middle of Pearl Lake…

After being away from each other for a long time, Lucas and Cheyenne had an incredibly passionate night that was so intense that they slept in till very late the following morning.

While they were having breakfast downstairs, Charlotte blushed slightly and glared at Lucas a few times, causing him to be puzzled as to why she was annoyed with him.

When Cheyenne got out of bed, she felt as if her waist was about to break, and she almost couldn’t stand up straight. When she headed downstairs for breakfast, she couldn’t help supporting her waist with her hand while glancing at Lucas coyly.

Seeing this, Lucas knew that he had gone a little over the top last night. He touched his nose with slight embarrassment, coughed a little, and said, “Cheyenne, you should stay home to get some rest today. I’ll help you handle any important work matters if anything pops up.”

Her face flushed, Cheyenne shook her head. “It’s alright. Didn’t you say we should go to DC as soon as possible? There’s a lot of stuff I have to hand over properly. I’ll go.”

“Okay then. Call me if you need help.”

Lucas stopped trying to convince her. He knew that she was a conscientious, hardworking, and professional person. Since they were at a critical moment before moving to DC, Cheyenne definitely couldn’t relax and insisted on doing everything herself.

Moreover, the matter about moving to DC shouldn’t be delayed and should be settled as soon as possible.

In Lucas’s opinion, DC was much safer than Orange County.

DC was the financial and political hub of the country, where all prestigious families and forces gathered. It was precisely because of this that no one would dare to act recklessly in DC.

But it was hard to say the same about Orange County.

Thus, Lucas wanted to settle everything in Orange County as soon as possible and then bring his family to DC. Only then could he feel more at ease.

After sending his wife and daughter to the Brilliance Corporation and the kindergarten, Lucas arrived at the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch.

The Orange County branch was already a part of the Stardust Corporation, so Lucas didn’t plan to touch it. But as the chairman of the corporation, since he was back in Orange County, it was only right that he took a look at the branch’s operational and financial situation.

Besides, Cheyenne, the general manager of the branch, would also be transferred to DC, so there were still some matters that had to be handled.

Just as Lucas arrived at the office and read a few documents, he received a call from Bruce.

“Lucas, according to the information I’ve received, the Hamiltons probably already know that something has happened to Angus Hamilton. Brett Hamilton has arranged for his subordinates to search for information about Angus Hamilton, and the Hamiltons have also dispatched many experts to Orange County. It’s a huge ruckus.”

Bruce sounded serious and nervous.

“How many people are here?” Lucas asked.

“According to the information I’ve obtained, there are at least a hundred people here, and all of them are skilled in martial arts. They’re not ordinary people, and they’re difficult to deal with.”

Hearing this, Lucas frowned. “Have you finished cleaning up like I told you yesterday?”

Since the Hamiltons had sent so many people over to look for Angus, what had happened in Lotte Entertainment City definitely couldn’t be leaked.

“Yes, I’ve had people clean up everything. The Hamiltons definitely won’t be able to find any clues!” Bruce knew that the matter was serious, so he didn’t dare to be careless and had already sent his men to verify.

“That’s good. Let’s leave the matter alone for now. You should be careful and make sure to keep a good eye on your subordinates. Inform me if anything happens,” Lucas ordered.

Since they had already cleaned up the traces, no matter how much the Hamiltons searched, they would never be able to find Angus.

After ending the call, Lucas set aside the matter regarding the Hamiltons.

But soon, a secretary knocked on the door, entered, and asked respectfully, “Mr. Gray, someone named Brett Hamilton is here, and he’s asked to speak to you. Would you like to see him?”
