The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray-Chapter 1023 - Bringing It Upon Himself

Maddy completely lost the strength to speak and communicate with Carlos. She found her father to be absolutely absurd and ridiculous.

When he kicked her out of the family and severed ties with her just ten minutes ago, she felt sad, but she didn’t resent him for doing so because she knew that he just didn’t want her to implicate the family.

But Carlos actually didn’t even discuss it with her and decided to marry her off to someone intellectually challenged with strong violent tendencies. He was pushing her to her grave!

If it was any other family, she might be able to file for divorce when encountering her husband’s domestic violence. But if she married into the Williams, no one would speak up for her even if she was beaten to death.

This kind of life would be a living hell! 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

Moreover, Maddy had a loving relationship with her fiancée. How could she be willing to put herself in such a terrible situation?

“Even if you’re my father, you have no right to make arrangements for my life! If you think I’m being unfilial, so be it. If I face any punishment in the future, I’ll bear all the consequences! But no matter what, I won’t marry someone like that!”

With that, Maddy hung up and turned off her phone furiously.

Maddy felt aggrieved and devastated as tears streamed down her cheeks.

In one day, Maddy had cried more than the total number of times she had in the past year.

When Carlos told Maddy to marry Cody Williams in a marriage alliance, a shocking killing intent surged in Jordan’s chest. He took a deep breath, parked the car on the side of the road, and quietly waited for Maddy to finish the phone call.

He was boiling with fury. If he continued driving, he was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and the car.

Carlos’s actions and words made Jordan livid. If someone else had wanted to force his beloved woman to marry an intellectually challenged and violent man, Jordan would have ripped his heart out. Unfortunately, Carlos was Maddy’s father, and he couldn’t do anything to him.

Watching Maddy cry in misery, Jordan felt his heart ache.

He took a few deep breaths and said, “It’s okay. As long as Lucas and I are here, the Bransons won’t be able to do anything to the Stones. The same goes for the Williams!

“Let’s go to Lucas now and ask him to help us handle this. With his help, you don’t have to worry about anything!” Jordan said earnestly while holding onto Maddy’s shoulder.

“Uh… yes.” Maddy nodded solemnly.

Looking at the man beside her, she finally felt like she had someone to rely on.

Soon, the two of them started driving toward Lucas’s new villa.

...

At this moment, in the Stones’ villa…

After Maddy hung up on him, Carlos was enraged and called her twice more, but he couldn’t get through to her.

“Damn it! Damn it!” Carlos cursed furiously, but a great sense of horror surged in his heart.

Maddy was strongly against the idea of a marriage alliance with the Williams, and now, she had even turned her phone off. Clearly, she didn’t want to marry Cody.

But Carlos had already promised Rayson, the Williams’ helmsman. What should he do now?

If Maddy didn’t marry Cody Williams within the time frame given by the Williams, Rayson would definitely think that Carlos played tricks on him and wouldn’t let the Stones off!

When the time came, the Stones wouldn’t only have to face the wrath of the Bransons but also the Williams’!

These two families were among the top eight most powerful families of DC, and Stones couldn’t rival either of them. Together, they would pose a deadly threat to the Stones!

Carlos was panic-stricken and at a complete loss for what to do.

Only now did he finally realize what Geoffrey had said to him previously. Indeed, he wasn’t competent enough!

If he had called Maddy to seek her consent before agreeing to the Williams’ proposal, things wouldn’t have turned out this way!

Carlos initially wanted to seek help from the Williams to get support against the Stones, but he ended up offending two top families at the same time!

This was absolutely terrible!

“Mr. Stone, you were too rash about this… Miss Maddy is already engaged to Jordan, and they were really loving in the hall just now. Miss Maddy will never agree to marry anyone else, especially someone like Cody Williams…” The Stones’ butler sighed.

But before he could finish, Carlos immediately interrupted him, “Then, what do you think I should do? The Bransons are forcing me to take those two sinful wretches to their place immediately to give them an explanation. What can I do?”

After a moment of silence, the butler said, “Actually, I think Mr. Jordan is really powerful. He easily defeated so many of the Smiths’ experts in the DC Hotel. Moreover, he’s so close to Mr. Gray. Maybe they can really resolve the Stones’ crisis on their own without implicating us.”

“What’s the point of talking about this now? And do you really believe those two boys can solve the problem?” Carlos hollered in annoyance. “Enough, stop it with the nonsense! Anyway, I will definitely come up with a solution and protect the Stones even without their help!”

At this moment, Carlos’s cell phone rang.

As soon as he saw Rayson Williams’ number on the caller ID, his body shivered, and a wave of fear immediately surged in his heart.

But no matter what, he had to answer this call!

He picked up the phone in fear, only to immediately hear an urging voice., “I’ve already brought my son to the Marriage Bureau. When are you and your daughter coming? How much longer do I have to wait?”𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
