Chapter 1306 Rushing Over to Save His Daughter
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Luther pursed his lips and said coldly, “I saw fifteen million dollars, so it’s fifteen million dollars. If you can’t afford it, why don’t you compensate me with the house you own in this community?”
This was an upscale residential district in central DC in a prime location, and a house here could easily fetch a price of tens of millions of dollars. Luther had asked for such a huge sum of money only because he saw that William was a resident here. Asking for so much in compensation, he clearly wanted to make William lose all his assets and his house.
This way, he would be able to chase away the family that his wife and child hated and also get a house worth tens of millions of dollars for free. At the same time, he could give the onlookers a warning and deter them from provoking him and his family in the future.
This wasn’t the first time Luther had done such a thing.
William was furious and flabbergasted by how greedy and shameless he was. But thinking that Lucas would be arriving soon, he said with great difficulty, “I can’t decide on this matter. When my son-in-law arrives, he can speak with you.”
Luther’s expression instantly darkened. “Do you know who I am? You want me to wait for someone here? You’re not worthy of it!”
His wife sneered. “Hah, you’re just a country bumpkin. How dare you make my husband wait? Old fogey, if you don’t hand over fifteen million dollars now, go home and bring the title deed back. Otherwise, I’ll abduct you and your bastard granddaughter, then get your son-in-law to pay off the ransom. As soon as he pays up, he can take you away!”
Luther burst into laughter. “Haha, great idea, Honey. What are you waiting for? Do it now!”
With his command, the two tall and burly bodyguards behind him walked straight toward William and Amelia.
“You… you, stop! Don’t move!”
Seeing the two muscular bodyguards walking toward him, William turned pale in fright and retreated incessantly with Amelia in his arms. But there was nowhere he could go.
The Holmes were simply horrid. They were clearly the ones at fault, but they were forcing William to compensate them with 15 million dollars and demanded that he pay for it with his home. Now, they even wanted to abduct him and Amelia to threaten Lucas. How vicious!
If they just wanted to abduct him alone, William might just leave at that and take it that he had bad luck.
But they even wanted to abduct Amelia. William would never agree to this!
Besides, given how the vicious woman had slapped Amelia without hesitation and would have continued if William hadn’t stopped her, Amelia would definitely suffer if she fell into her hands!
Amelia was only five years old. If this vicious woman ruined her, William would live in regret for the rest of his life and never be able to face Lucas and Cheyenne again.
William was holding Amelia in his arms. Sensing that his granddaughter was terrified to the point of turning pale and shivering, he could only suppress his voice and comfort her. “Don’t be scared, Amelia. Grandpa will protect you. No one can hurt you! Daddy will be here soon. It’ll be fine in a bit!”
Tommy’s mother harrumphed in disdain. “Hah, she’s just a little bastard. I can do whatever I want to her. What can you do about it? Do you think you can protect her? What a joke!
“No matter who you’ve called, it’s useless. You’d better behave yourselves and don’t move around until you pay the compensation!”
She yelled at the two bodyguards, “What are you waiting for? Grab them!”
Seeing the two bodyguards reaching out for Amelia, William was so furious that he pushed a bodyguard away, quickly placed Amelia on the ground, and shouted, “Amelia, quickly run home. Wait for your daddy to come home! Run!”
While yelling, William grabbed the hands of the two bodyguards and tried his best to hinder them to buy time for Amelia to escape.
“Old fogey, you’re courting death!” One of the bodyguards kicked William in the chest, sending him flying away.
“Grandpa!” Before Amelia could run far away, she saw William getting kicked away. She couldn’t care about anything else and turned around to dash back toward William.
Clutching his chest in pain, William shouted, “Amelia, don’t bother about me. Hurry up and run home!”
At this point, he just hoped for Amelia to run away and get out of danger as soon as possible. As for himself, he didn’t have the luxury to worry.
But how could Amelia run away herself and let her grandfather, who had collapsed on the ground, be bullied?
Besides, at her age, there was no way she could escape.
As soon as she rushed to William, a bodyguard grabbed her arm and lifted her off the ground.
“Let go of me! You are all bad guys! Let go of Grandpa and me!” Amelia struggled with all her might, kicking her legs in the air. But her efforts were futile.
Facing the tall and burly bodyguard, Amelia had no means to resist at all.
Seeing that she couldn’t break free and that the bodyguard’s hand was right in front of her, she immediately bit down on it.
“Damn it, brat! You deserve to die!” The bodyguard winced in pain and reflexively grabbed Amelia’s arm to slam her against the ground with all his strength.
“Amelia!” William’s eyes immediately widened in panic. He roared in despair and tried to get up from the ground to catch Amelia.
Amelia was only five years old. If she was slammed against the ground, she would definitely be seriously injured.
If she was unlucky and her head hit the ground, she might die on the spot!
The crowd screamed in shock and closed their eyes, not daring to see the tragedy that was about to happen.
Only Luther and his wife didn’t have the slightest change in expression. They were still smiling gloatingly, as if they were watching a good show.
In their opinion, Amelia and William were insignificant people. Even if their bodyguards killed them, it would be a trivial matter to resolve.
William was panicking so much that he was about to go crazy. He was desperately crawling toward Amelia to catch her. But he was seriously injured and couldn’t move much. All he could do was watch Amelia’s petite body move closer and closer to the hard stone ground…
At this critical moment, a figure quickly jumped out of a black Jaguar not far away and dashed over!
Immediately afterward, a pair of hands wrapped tightly around Amelia’s body, with one hand on her neck and the back of her head, and the other under her knees. Just as she was about to hit the ground, he picked her up in time!
The moment William saw the figure, euphoria appeared in his originally hopeless eyes. “Lucas!”
The person who caught Amelia in time at the moment of crisis was none other than Lucas!
