Chapter 164: Vicious Gift
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Overwhelmed with anger, Karen rushed over, grabbed the broom beside the gate, and smashed it onto the face of the engineer.
“Scoundrel! Bastard! You people are evil crooks who get up to all sorts of evil! Who told you to come and demolish my home? Do you have a death wish?” Full of anger, Karen waved her broom majestically.
It was the home she had lived in for more than 20 years! How could she tolerate this?
“Stop it! You crazy bitch! Somebody, help!” The engineer had his hands on his head while Karen was hitting him with the broom.
Soon, more than ten men with sledgehammers and axes rushed out from behind the excavator and charged toward Karen.
“Ah! Murder! They’re trying to kill us!” Karen immediately got frightened to the point of having her knees go weak. She shrieked, dropped the broom, and then ran behind Lucas to hide.
Seeing that Karen had been frightened off, the engineer tidied up his clothes and hair, which the broom had messed up. He then said to Karen mockingly, “Bitch, weren’t you really fierce just now? Let’s see if you can still be that aggressive now. Guys, tear this place down! Mr. Carter instructed us to flatten this place within an hour!”
“Yes!” The burly men answered loudly before the large excavator started rumbling again.
Cheyenne and Charlotte looked at these people and the excavator with anger written all over their faces.
When Lucas heard the word ‘Mr. Carter’, his heart skipped a beat, and his eyes had an icy-cold gaze.
“Stop! This is our home. Who said you could come here to tear it down?” Cheyenne’s face was flushed, and her chest was heaving up and down.
The engineer taking the lead looked at Cheyenne and Charlotte with eyes full of greed and lust. He then licked his lips lewdly. “Beautiful lady, I’m sorry, but we are a proper engineering company, and we have the legal authority to carry out the demolition. The owner of this house personally commissioned our company to demolish it, so you can’t blame us!”
Cheyenne and others immediately understood that it must have been the doing of Bryce and the other Carters!
The house they lived in was allocated to William’s family years ago, but the official transfer procedures hadn’t been done, so it had always been under Dominic’s name. Now that the house was getting demolished, it was definitely the instructions of Dominic and Bryce.
But even if they were going to demolish the house, they shouldn’t have done it without prior notice. Since there were still inhabitants, they shouldn’t have started the demolition.
If they had run out a little slower, or the force of the hydraulic hammer was a little greater, all of them would have been smashed to death and buried alive in the house.
Charlotte was so furious that she was about to lash out immediately. But at this moment, a pickup truck drove over and stopped steadily behind the excavator. A middle-aged man in his fifties alighted. “Lucas Gray? Who’s Lucas Gray?”
Lucas frowned slightly and walked forward. “I’m Lucas Gray. Who are you?”
The middle-aged man immediately opened the trunk of his pickup truck, picked up a large cardboard box, and then walked over.
“Mr. Gray, a customer whose last name is Carter instructed us to deliver this. Please sign this receipt.”
Lucas looked at the large cardboard box in front of him in bewilderment. Carter? Is it those Carters?
It was rare of the Carters to send something.
He raised his hand and was about to grab the delivery receipt while the middle-aged man looked at him with a strange expression a few times. Finally, he couldn’t help but say, “Hey, did a major accident happen to your family here? It must be really sad to suffer the loss of so many of your loved ones in one go! Condolences, buddy.”
While speaking, he patted Lucas’s shoulder consolingly with his pair of rough palms.
Lucas was confused. But after he saw the words on the receipt in his hand, his face immediately turned enraged as an icy cold gaze filled his eyes. The temperature around his body seemed to have also instantly plunged!
There were several words written in bold on the delivery list!
“Item name: Sculpted Marble Urn, Quantity: 5”
The cardboard box delivered by this middle-aged man actually contained five urns!
Cheyenne’s family of four plus Lucas added up to exactly five people. He immediately understood what the urns were for.
Cheyenne and Charlotte, who were standing right beside Lucas, were also curious when they heard that a Carter had sent those items.
But after they saw the words on the delivery list, their faces turned sullen, and they looked extremely upset.
The person demolishing their house said that they were commissioned by a Carter, who also instructed them to raze the place to the ground within an hour. Now, the person who delivered these items also claimed to have been hired by a Carter.
They could all feel the great malice in his intentions!
“Bryce Carter! It must be him!” Charlotte said with resentment through clenched teeth.
At this moment, a familiar Mercedes-Benz sedan pulled over at the entrance of the Carters’ old residence. The car door opened, and Bryce got out and walked over with a triumphant smile. A tall and muscular man dressed in black was following him.
However, Bryce’s right arm was still wrapped in gauze, and there was also new gauze around his head. He was smug and domineering, which was rather amusing with this appearance.
“Bryce Carter, this must be your doing, right?” Cheyenne questioned loudly as she glowered at him.
“Hmph, so what if it’s me? This is the property of the Carters, and after what your loser husband did to me yesterday, I can’t stand you guys anymore! I want to drive all of your family out of here!” Bryce hollered. Now that he had a backer behind him, he completely forgot about what Lucas said previously.
“Does Grandpa know about these things you’ve done?” Cheyenne asked as she glared at Bryce in the eye.
“Haha, of course he does! This house is under Grandpa’s name. How can the procedures with the engineering company be settled without the title deed? Grandpa has long been annoyed with your family and has wanted to throw all of you out long ago!”
Cheyenne bit her lower lip with a look of misery on her face. “Did Grandpa tell you to send those urns?”
“Hahaha, of course! This is a big gift from us, especially for you guys! May you put them to use soon! Haha!”
Bryce laughed viciously, and when he suddenly saw Amelia in Cheyenne’s arms, he smacked his thigh. “I almost forgot about your little bastard. I forgot to buy one more urn!”
After saying this, he looked at the middle-aged man who had just delivered the urn and yelled at him, “Hurry up and go bring a smaller urn over!”
