Chapter 605 - Death By Suicide
Chapter 605: Death By Suicide
As soon as the black shiny gun was revealed, Joe immediately stood in front of Lucas and hollered, “What are you trying to do?!”
Bruce and Damon were both a step slower because they were already on in their years. But they were close behind. Without hesitation, they stood in front of Lucas, Cheyenne, and Charlotte.
At this moment, these helmsmen who controlled the lifelines of great families seemed to have forgotten their superior identities as they stood in front of Lucas without hesitation.
Even Cheyenne and Charlotte, the two women, didn’t flinch in the slightest and merely panicked for a moment when they saw the pistol. But they were standing beside Lucas without retreating at all.
Moses had planned to use his pistol as a last resort to kill Lucas and take revenge for his son.
But after seeing this scene in front of him, he suddenly felt a sense of dejection.
His son had actually lost to such a person…
How pitiful!
He couldn’t kill Lucas.
The only thing he could do for his son now was probably to end his own life and join him in the afterlife.
While thinking about it, Moses had a miserable smile on his face. Then he pressed the muzzle of the pistol against his temple.
Everyone watched in shock as Moses slowly pulled the trigger.
Bang! A small hole appeared in Moses’ temple, and blood immediately gushed out as his body slowly fell to the ground.
“…” Everyone fell silent.
They had originally thought that Moses was just trying to make a last-ditch effort to kill Lucas.
But no one had expected Moses to shoot himself instead of them.
Everyone’s expressions were complicated.
Cheyenne and Charlotte gradually stopped feeling so tense and nervous after seeing Moses die.
Lucas looked at Moses’s corpse, but he didn’t feel any emotion.
Indeed, Moses had wanted to take revenge on Lucas and had even wanted to kidnap his five-year-old daughter. He had really resorted to all means. But as a father himself, Lucas could understand Moses’s feelings and desire to avenge his son.
Seeing that Moses had killed himself, Lucas sighed and instructed Bruce, “In a while, have someone send his body back to the Kingstons’ to be buried!”
This was Lucas’s last form of respect to Moses, who was also a father.
When Karen saw the large pool of blood flowing from Moses’s corpse, she trembled in fear and crawled backward with all her might to get farther away from the corpse.
At the same time, her heart was full of even more fear.
Even Moses, who had seemed really powerful, had killed himself in front of Lucas.
What would happen to her then?
She still wanted to beg for mercy or think of other ways to save herself. But Lucas had already walked up to her and said coldly, “It’s time you get punished for your sins!”
As he said this, the two young men dressed in military uniforms walked in.
They bowed to Lucas and walked straight toward Karen with handcuffs.
Karen instantly realized that they were here to arrest her!
She immediately tried to retreat. But as soon as she stood up, the two men grabbed her shoulders, rendering her immobile.
“Let go of me! Quickly let go of me!
“Lucas, if you dare to let them take me away, Cheyenne will never forgive you for the rest of her life!
“I’m her biological mother! You can’t do this to me!”
Karen screamed hysterically.
Cheyenne took a deep breath and tried her best to remain calm. “No, Mom, you’re wrong. I won’t blame Lucas. You’ve brought this upon yourself, and it’s your fault that you ended up in such a plight. It has nothing to do with him! I told you before that I could believe what you said, but if I found out that you were just lying to me, I would definitely send you to prison myself!
“Not only have you tried to kill Dad time and time again, but you’re still so unrepentant, and you even tried to ruin Amelia! She’s only five, and she’s usually so well-behaved and cute. Yet you could actually bring yourself to do that! You’ve done so many terrible things, so how do you still expect me to forgive you?
“I’ve given you so many chances, but unfortunately, you didn’t know how to cherish them. You’ve trampled on my kindness and sincerity time and time again, and you even took advantage of me. You went from bad to worse! If I continue to foolishly forgive you, Dad, Charlotte, and Amelia will continue getting harmed and made use of by you.
“So, I can no longer forgive you! Just go to the place where you should go and reflect on the mistakes you’ve made!”
Cheyenne spoke hysterically, and tears were already rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Karen was her mother and her dearest family member but also an enemy who wanted to harm her father and daughter.
Cheyenne was full of love for her, but at the same time, she also began to develop hatred for her.
The excruciating misery made Cheyenne feel extremely painful.
Karen panicked when she saw Cheyenne’s resolute attitude.
But now that things had come to this, she no longer had a better solution and could only defend herself vehemently.
“Cheyenne, you… you can’t do this to me! I’ve already told you that I didn’t want to do those things at all. I was forced to do them! If I knew that Lucas was so powerful at the time, I definitely wouldn’t have been coerced by the Taylors. At the end of the day, it’s all Lucas’s fault, and yours too! It’s your fault for not telling me!
“Also, isn’t William still alive and well? Amelia is also safe and sound. Why have you guys come to arrest me? Besides, you don’t have any concrete evidence. On what grounds are you condemning me? I’m not going to concede!”
Lucas sneered. “You want evidence, right? I can give you evidence anytime you need so that you can completely give up!”
He nodded at Damon beside him and instructed, “Bring her in!”
Damon immediately agreed, then turned around and left the villa.
He soon entered with a panicking woman behind him.
When Karen saw this woman’s face, her expression changed, and she shrieked in shock, “Nik… Nikki Heron!”
The woman Damon brought in was none other than Nikki, who had been taken away from the Herons previously!
Probably because she had been imprisoned in the Parker residence for two days, Nikki was now no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, she seemed to be panicking.
Clearly, she had been taught a lesson in the last two days.
“Nikki Heron, I’m sure you know that as long as you can give a full account of what you’ve done and provide evidence, you will get credit where it is due and have your sentence lightened. You should know what to do now, right?” an officer in military uniform said indifferently.
