THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY - Chapter 1364 - 1364 Endless Bad News

1364 Endless Bad News

Just as Rayson was feeling terrified, the Piers’ butler ran in again and shouted in horror, “Mr. Piers! The Piers’ manor has been breached by the Smiths, and countless experts have died. We can’t hold on anymore!”

Derek abruptly stood up with a pale face. “What did you say? The Piers have been breached too? How is that possible? The Smiths have already…”

Before he could finish his sentence, another person rushed into the private room and shouted to Greg in horror, “Mr. Steele, the Steeles’ manor has just been breached by Roman Everett of the Huttons!”

It was three nearly identical pieces of bad news again!

Previously, the three families had lost the territories that they had just seized at the same time, and it was already quite worrying for them. Now, the three families had been attacked at the same time, and even their manors had been snatched away!

The series of bad news almost made Rayson, Greg, and Derek break down!

Derek clenched his fists and roared with red eyes, “What should we do now? Even our families’ manors have been snatched away. We’ve suffered heavy losses! And we don’t know how many people in the family have died. Are we going to continue staying here?”

Being yelled at like this, Rayson and Greg had sullen expressions.

Rayson was also infuriated by the bad news. He retorted bluntly, “Derek, why are you throwing a tantrum at us? Your family has suffered heavy losses. Isn’t it the same for our families?

“Do you think the two of us aren’t anxious? My heart feels like it’s being fried in a frying pan. I can’t wait to run back and see how much damage my family has suffered and how I’m going to get back my family’s territory. But can we leave now?

“Mr. Jensen specially invited us to this celebration party. If we leave now, when he comes and doesn’t see us here, will he think that we’ve deliberately neglected him and stood him up? Can we bear the consequences?”

Greg chimed in, “Rayson is right. Mr. Jensen is a big shot who we absolutely cannot offend. If he really thinks that we comply on the surface but disobey in secret, then there’s no need for those families in DC to do anything. Just the Hamiltons alone are enough to make our three families completely disappear from DC!”

Derek gritted his teeth, his expression extremely gloomy. But he had to admit that what Rayson and Greg said was right.

After all, Jensen was a valued scion of the Hamiltons, and he had always been high up in the air. Beforehand, even the eight top families of DC didn’t have a chance to get close to him.

And now, Jensen had taken the initiative to extend an olive branch to them, intending to get close to the three families. If they left and Jensen came, he would definitely be angry when he saw the empty private room!

And the price of angering Jensen was something that they couldn’t afford no matter what.

But now, their families were facing a great crisis, and they couldn’t leave. What should they do now?

If Jensen was busy and couldn’t come, would they still have to wait here for a day and a night until their families were completely conquered?

The same worry surfaced in their hearts.

After some thought, Greg said, “Of course, we can’t wait here forever! Let’s wait for another half an hour. If Mr. Jensen isn’t here by then, we can only apologize to him and leave early!

“At worst, we’ll apologize to Mr. Jensen together. I’m sure he’ll understand that we had to leave because of an emergency. He won’t hold it against us!”

Derek and Rayson thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. “Alright, that’s the only way. In that case, let’s wait for another half an hour! I hope Mr. Jensen can arrive soon!”

They had been waiting in this private room for two hours. In addition to half an hour, it would be two and a half hours. Even if Jensen was dissatisfied with them later, he shouldn’t be too harsh on them because they had waited for so long!

This time, the wait was especially difficult to endure. The three helmsmen looked at their watches almost every two minutes and stared at the door of the private room. They even instructed their subordinates to guard the entrance of the Capital International Hotel. As soon as Jensen arrived, they had to come up to inform them immediately.

However, when the long half an hour was almost up, the three of them still didn’t see Jensen appear. Instead, they received even more devastating bad news!

“Mr. Piers, terrible things have happened to the Piers Corporation. There’s a huge problem with the company’s finances. The secret ledger has been found, and the matter of tax evasion is under investigation. The people from the tax bureau have already sealed up the Piers Corporation!”

This time, it was the Piers’ butler who ran over first. His face was pale as he said, “Also… also, several of the Piers’ restaurant chains have been hit by negative publicity. Videos of the dirty and messy kitchens have been posted online. The current situation is extremely bad!

“Also, the matter of the people dying during the projects the Piers Corporation worked on last year has been dug up again. The families of the deceased and reporters are causing a scene at the Piers Corporation’s headquarters. Now, public opinion about the company on the internet is terrible, and the company’s stock price has plummeted!

“And…”

The Piers’ butler gave a series of bad news. Every piece of news was enough to make Derek furious and distressed.

All the bad news piled up in a short period of time, and its intensity was comparable to an atomic bomb. Derek’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t even stand steadily.

He knew that if these matters were not handled in time, the enormous Piers Corporation might collapse!

At the side, Rayson and Greg couldn’t help but gasp when they heard the bad news reported by the Piers’ butler.

With so many major accidents breaking out at the same time, it was clear that someone wanted to torture the Piers to death!

Rayson’s face was pale. When he heard the bad news about the Piers, a cold face subconsciously appeared in his mind. It’s Lucas Gray! It must be Lucas Gray!

Only Lucas Gray can obtain so many fatal weaknesses in such a short time and launch such a strong offensive against the Piers!

No, the people Lucas Gray wants to deal with aren’t just the Piers!

The three families have joined forces, and all the bad news is almost identical. Since so many things are happening to the Piers, the same will definitely happen to the Willians and Steeles!

This bad premonition suddenly appeared in Rayson’s mind, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. His entire being felt ill!

Greg was the same. He exchanged glances with Rayson, and an extremely bad premonition surged in his heart!

Sure enough, the next second, they saw the butlers of the Williams and the Steeles rush in at the same time, their faces grief-stricken!
