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

Chapter 601: In Whose Hands?

The middle-aged man glanced at Karen and said mockingly, “Amelia has already been picked up by someone. You don’t have to care anymore.”

Karen immediately frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me you’ve already taken her away? She’s my granddaughter!”

“No, she’s only your former granddaughter. She no longer had anything to do with you when you brought her here.” The middle-aged man sneered.

“No, you can’t do that! Even if I have to hand her over, I must hand her over to Mr. Kingston personally! Who are you to take her away from me? I… I still have something to say to Mr. Kingston!” Karen immediately became anxious.

Initially, it was a deal between her and Moses.

Only when she handed Amelia over to Moses would he give her the recording or destroy it all in front of her. The two of them would then discuss how to deal with Lucas.

In the end, Amelia was taken away while she was distracted, leaving her with no chance to negotiate at all!

Karen anxiously wanted to go outside.

But the middle-aged man pulled out the dagger at his waist and brandished it in front of her. “You’d better behave yourself and stay here! Don’t make any more noise or ask any more questions! Mr. Kingston will be coming over in a while. Why are you in such a hurry?

“If you continue to make trouble, I don’t mind letting you die here now!”

Seeing the cold and shiny dagger, Karen shook violently and immediately kept quiet.

Indeed, Moses was much more powerful than her. Even if he really went back on his word and snatched Amelia away, she would have nowhere to air her grievances and would have no choice but to suffer the loss.

Fortunately for her, since the middle-aged man said Mr. Kingston was coming, this meant that she still had a chance!

Despite her reluctance, Karen could only stay in the villa and continue waiting.

But she was in an unfamiliar environment and was still unaware of what exactly Moses was thinking. She didn’t know if he would keep his word and complete the deal with her or burn the bridge after crossing it.

Being alone in the hall, she couldn’t stop her imagination from running wild. The more she thought about it, the more horrified she was.

With her short understanding of Moses and the fact that he could even use the five-year-old Amelia to avenge his son, she doubted that he would really let her off instead of choosing to silence her now that she knew so much.

Right, he will kill me to silence me!?The thought of this possibility made Karen’s hair stand on end.

She suddenly sprung up from the couch, no longer able to sit still.

Karen looked at the shiny dagger in the middle-aged man’s hand and asked carefully, “When… when is Mr. Kingston coming?”

“How would I know? Just stay here and wait obediently. He’ll naturally come when the time comes!” the middle-aged man said hostilely.

Karen panicked and hurriedly said, “I… I suddenly remember that I have something important to do. Since I’ve already brought Amelia here and completed my mission, I’d better get going! When Mr. Kingston is free, I’ll come and see him again!”

Karen was about to walk toward the door.

But the middle-aged man guarding the door obviously wouldn’t let her leave so easily.

“Stand still! If you dare to step out of the door, I will immediately kill you. This is an order from Mr. Kingston. If you don’t want to die, then sit still obediently!”

The middle-aged man fiddled with the weapon in his hand and stared at Karen’s eyes.

He wasn’t joking or threatening her, but rather, he really dared to kill her!

Karen’s legs trembled, and she no longer dared to take half a step outside!

At this moment, she really wanted to cry. She was both terrified and chagrined.

Had she known this would happen earlier, she wouldn’t have chosen to cooperate with Moses because it was simply courting death!

But if she could turn back time, she would probably still be willing to sell Amelia and work with Moses.

She was an extremely selfish woman.

While Karen was feeling anxious, the middle-aged man suddenly answered a phone call and respectfully said “Yes!” to the phone several times. This made Karen, who was trying to eavesdrop from the side, unable to get any useful information.

All of a sudden, the middle-aged man turned to look at Karen. “Mr. Kingston will arrive in three minutes. I’m going outside to receive him. Stay here and don’t move. Otherwise, you know what the consequences are!”

With that, he stopped looking at Karen and opened the villa door to leave.

Karen peeked out sneakily. For a moment, she also thought of sneaking away.

But she immediately dismissed the thought.

She wasn’t familiar with the terrain in this area, and she didn’t have a car. Where could she run to with her legs?

Besides, she reckoned that since Moses was already coming, he probably wouldn’t kill her to silence her and that it was very likely that she had read too much into things.

This is really infuriating. They all think they’re big shots, huh? Hmph! When I live in the big villa and get my hands on the money, I’ll definitely hire a bunch of bodyguards to escort me around. Let’s see which one of you will still dare to be arrogant in front of me!?Karen thought resentfully.

While she was waiting anxiously, the sounds of footsteps came from the door, soon followed by the sounds of a car. Clearly, Moses had arrived!

Karen suddenly got nervous and stood still helplessly.

In a few seconds, footsteps sounded at the door, and the villa door opened.

With a hostile aura of displeasure, Moses strode in from outside.

“Mr. Kingston, you’re finally here!” Karen immediately smiled and greeted him.

Moses glanced at her coldly and looked behind her before frowning. “Where is she?”

“What? Who are you talking about?” Karen had been prepared for many things, but she was still caught off guard by Moses’s words.

Moses immediately flew into a rage. “Who do you think I’m talking about? Of course it’s the person I want! Where is Lucas Gray’s daughter? Didn’t you say that you already brought her out and were going to hand her over to me? Are you playing dumb in front of me now?”

This time, it was Karen’s turn to be utterly dumbfounded.

She looked at the door and stammered, “Amelia, she… Wasn’t she already taken away by your men? It was the middle-aged man you sent to pick me up who took her away!”

Moses immediately felt his anger surge within him. “Karen Turner, do you take me for a fool? When did I send people to pick you up? You were the one who texted me to say that it was inconvenient at the hospital entrance, so you sent me this address and told me to rush here and take the kid from you. Yet you’re spouting nonsense to me now!

“If I had already taken the kid away, would I still be standing here and wasting my breath on you?

“Tell me honestly. Where is the kid now? Or did you not get your hands on her, so you deliberately made up this nonsense to fool me? Do you have a death wish?!”

The sudden angry scolding immediately made Karen freeze in shock.

Amelia… wasn’t taken away by Moses’s subordinates?

Then… where exactly is she now?
