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

family died, one after another.

The news took all of Orange County by storm.

Countless people were privately discussing the Douglas family’s successive deaths over the past few days, and countless speculations spread throughout the county.

However, at this juncture, Chris had already successfully become the new head of the Douglas family after the funeral ceremony.

As the only living son of Hugo Douglas and holding the will left by him before his demise, coupled with the public statements he made about making Chris Douglas the successor, Chris Douglas was able to take over the position as the head of the family smoothly and successfully.
No one raised any doubts.

The changes in the Douglas family naturally caused a tremendous uproar in the county.

Some people who had been harmed by the Douglases, such as Charlotte, were stunned upon hearing the news.
Charlotte sneered.
“Hah, this is karma! The Douglases committed too many disgusting misdeeds, and now Heaven won’t spare them either.
All three of them have dropped dead!”

…

In the Carter main residence, after Dominic heard the news and felt astonished, he gave it some careful thought.
He then grinned merrily and quickly called his granddaughter Scarlet Wright over.

“Scarlet, have you heard about what happened to the Douglases?” Hugo Douglas asked.

Scarlet nodded.
“Yes, they’re just out of luck! But that has nothing to do with us, right?”

“Haha, silly child.” Dominic rubbed his hands happily.
“Think about it.
The Douglases specially came to apologize to Mr.
Brooke, but they mistakenly apologized to that scoundrel Lucas Gray instead.
Next, their family members died one after another.
Haven’t you figured out the key point?”

Feeling puzzled, Scarlet thought about it for a while before coming to a sudden realization.
“Grandpa, I understand! It must be because they offended Mr.
Brooke!”

“Shh! Keep your voice down.
Just keep it to yourself, and make sure you don’t tell anyone about it, lest you bring trouble to Mr.
Brooke.
Understood?” Dominic instructed sternly.

With glistening eyes, Scarlet covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly.
“Yes! Don’t worry, Grandpa! I will definitely keep my lips sealed and not cause trouble for Aston!”

“Speaking of which, how are you and him progressing? Are you confident?” Dominic asked.

At the mention of this, Scarlet began to look uneasy.
She had been accompanying Aston for the past few days.
Aston was physically attractive and a good sweet-talker as well.
They had long advanced to home run.

Hearing her grandfather’s question at this moment, Scarlet blushed and said smugly, “Don’t worry, Grandpa.
We… are progressing well.
He promised to discuss our marriage with his elders when he returns to LA after some time.”

“Hahahaha, not bad, not bad! You’re indeed worthy of being my granddaughter.
Impressive!” Dominic was overjoyed as he clapped his hands.
“Scarlet, you must hold on tight to Aston.
Once you’re married, you’ll be the most prestigious lady of a wealthy family, and the Carters will rise to the peak again thanks to them.
We will become your most reliable maiden home!”

…

Meanwhile, Cheyenne was still feeling uneasy and full of mixed emotions after hearing about the deaths of the Douglases!
