Lucas chose not to send Cheyenne back to her home because itd be inappropriate since she was unconscious.

In order not to make the Carters worry, he brought Cheyenne back to his residence in Orange County, Pearl Lakeside Villa.

On the way, Lucas called someone and said briefly, “Make the Douglas family disappear from Orange County within three days.”

“Yes!” Hearing Lucass voice, the person on the other end dared not be negligent at all.

At this moment, the Douglas family still had no idea that a calamity was about to strike them.

Gordon Douglass father, Hugo Douglas, was the patriarch of the Douglas family.

Although he had long ago handed over the major businesses owned by his family to his sons and no longer tended to them, he would occasionally ask about them.

At this moment, Hugo was lying relaxedly on a comfortable couch and flipping through newspapers.

When he saw the piece of news titledThe Stardust Corporation has settled a cooperation for a key project in Orange County in bold on the financial section of the newspaper, he took off his presbyopic glasses and sighed with some envy.

“The Douglases have been trying hard to clinch that project for such a long time, but we were never successful.

The Stardust Corporation managed to get it instead.

The Stardust Corporation is really something!”

Next to him, a man in his late forties grabbed the presbyopic glasses from Hugo, wiped them carefully, and put them into a glasses case.

He then said, “It is indeed.

The Stardust Corporation may have just settled in the country a short while ago, but its development is rapid.

Not only do the businesses of various sizes in Orange County want to cooperate with it, but it even managed to clinch all the key projects.

Its really impressive!”

The middle-aged man was Hugo Douglass eldest son and Gordon Douglass elder brother, Chris Douglas.

Hugo watched Chriss movements and smiled.

“Put the glasses there.

A servant will come to put it away later.

Why do you bother doing that”

“Its not much trouble.

After I pack them, its convenient for you to use them the next time.” Chris smiled.

He had always been filial and took care of all of Hugos needs.

He would do everything he could personally as far as possible and would not let others help.

“Since the Stardust Corporation has such great potential, why dont we try cooperating with it” Chris asked.

Hugo Douglas sighed.

“Why When the Stardust Corporation announced that it was looking for a partner in Orange County, we immediately sent someone over.

Everything was going well previously, but two days ago, the Stardust Corporation suddenly changed its mind and gave us the cold shoulder.”

“W-whats going on Have we offended the Stardust Corporation in any way Or is it so arrogant and lofty that it is looking down on us” Chris frowned.

Hugo Douglas sighed.

“Who knows Anyway, we havent found out yet.

Chris, when you have time, go and get in touch with Mr.

Davis, the general manager of the Stardust Corporation.

Try to ease our relationship with the Stardust Corporation and find out where the problem lies.

Try to find some opportunity to cooperate with it too.”

“Yes, Dad.

Ill surely deal with Mr.

Davis.

Rest assured,” Chris hurriedly agreed.

“Yes, youre definitely someone I can trust.” Hugo Douglas patted the back of his eldest sons hand and nodded in satisfaction.

“By the way, hows the matter with Gordon and Brad going”

Hearing his question, Chris smiled.

“It should be fine.

Yesterday, Gordon asked me to introduce a competent hitman to him.

Its a king of underground boxing whos rather ruthless.

He can deal with that insignificant Lucas Gray easily.

They should have already taken revenge by now.”

Hugo nodded.

“Okay, thats good.

How can we get bullied by that brat and let him get away with beating Brad so badly If we dont get revenge, wont anyone dare to take advantage of us However, you have to be careful.

Dont let Gordon go overboard.

Dont create extra trouble.”

“Okay, I know, Dad.

Dont worry.

Gordon is my brother.

Ill certainly help him.” Chris nodded with a smile.

At this moment, someone from the Douglas family hurried over and exclaimed anxiously, “Bad news, Mr.

Douglas Senior.

Heaven Media, the Luxe, and several other entertainment joints and bathhouses have been seized!”

“What!” Hugo stood up in shock, and his expression changed.

“Whats going on Why were they seized all of a sudden”

The family member stammered, “Someone reported us and… they found some illegal items in the companies… Some of our artists have also exposed us and said that we forced them… Anyway, they found a lot of evidence against us!”

Chris suddenly stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, and hollered furiously, “Didnt I tell you long ago to hide those things that shouldnt appear Arent those artists under strict control Why did they suddenly sue us”

“I-I dont know…” The family member looked at Chris, whose face was twisted into an angry grimace, and he was so scared that he started shivering in fear and was on the verge of tears.

“Oh dear, oh no…” Hugo muttered to himself as he thumped himself onto the couch.

The Douglases businesses were more or less related to the entertainment and sex industries.

They were the mainstay of the family.

Of course, they could not operate these businesses openly.

So on the surface, they were known as media companies and entertainment joints.

But in private, they had a lot of dirty dealings.

Due to the Douglases extensive network of connections, they managed to escape the strict regulations and purges.

However, they were nabbed out of the blue and accused with plenty of evidence against them today.

This was simply unprecedented.

Besides, once all their misdeeds were exposed, it would absolutely result in a huge uproar, and the Douglases would definitely suffer huge losses even if they didnt collapse!

Chris calmed down a little and said resentfully, “Dad, theres definitely something wrong! If it was just one company and something terrible was exposed, we can blame it on our carelessness.

But its absolutely not a coincidence that so many have been affected! Someone must be deliberately trying to harm us!”
