In fact, Jordan’s kick just now was already merciful. Otherwise, with his powerful kick that could break stone, if it had landed on Shane, he would have died terribly.

Shane spat out a mouthful of blood and got up from the ground with difficulty. Most of the chains and accessories on his body had fallen off, and there was a large conspicuous footprint on his shirt at the chest area.

“Bastard… h-how dare you kick me?”

His eyes were wide in disbelief as he looked at Jordan and Lucas with resentment.

“So what if I kicked you? What do you think you are?! I’m already being merciful by not killing you on the spot for daring to make a move against Lucas!” Jordan said coldly, his eyes full of killing intent.

Ever since he found out yesterday that Maddy was suddenly going to get married, Jordan was incredibly infuriated. If Lucas hadn’t said that he would come to handle this matter, Jordan would have killed the Stones and the Dempseys and taken Maddy away.

He was furious to begin with, and after rushing to the airport to pick up Lucas, he happened to hear the arrogant Shane openly insulting Lucas. He even wanted to harm Lucas.

If Lucas hadn’t told him not to kill anyone easily, Shane would have long become a corpse!

“Do you… you know who I am? I… I’m from the Dempsey family in DC!” Shane was so furious and revealed his identity to Jordan.

He thought that Jordan dared to lay a hand on him only because he didn’t know his identity. He reckoned that once he knew Shane was a Dempsey, he would definitely be scared out of his wits!

“Hah, the fool of the Dempseys!” But to his surprise, Jordan not only remained unmoved but even insulted him.

“You!” Shane wished he could slap Jordan on the face, but his chest was still hurting from Jordan’s kick, so he knew that he was no match for Jordan.

People like him had always bullied the weak and feared the strong. Once he found out that his target had a better family background or was far stronger than him, he wouldn’t be able to let out a single sound.

None of his bodyguards were by his side, so he didn’t even dare to lay a hand on Jordan or threaten him.

“Forget it. There’s no need to bother with a piece of trash. Let’s go!” Lucas turned around and left without even glancing at Shane.

To Lucas, a nobody like Shane was no different from a stinking bug on the roadside.

Jordan, who always followed Lucas’s lead, followed closely behind Lucas and left the airport.

The surrounding passersby looked at the scene in front of them with dumbfounded expressions.

The person in front of them was a direct descendant of the Dempseys!

But these two people left just like that after hitting a direct descendant of the Dempseys.

Shane was so infuriated that his face was beet red. He felt as though he was burst into flames.

He was a direct descendant of the Dempseys, yet he was beaten up by two bumpkins in DC. If this matter spread, how could he face anyone in the future?

What a disgrace!

An absolute disgrace!

“Bastards, if I find you again, I will make your life worse than death!” Shane roared impotently while looking in the direction the two left.

“Mr. Shane! We’re sorry we’re late!” At this moment, two bodyguards hurried over to Shane’s side and exclaimed the moment they saw Shane’s miserable state. “Ah! Mr. Shane, what… what happened to you? Who did it?”

“Damn it! You good-for-nothings, have you been eating shit at home? I’ve been beaten up like this, but it took so long for you losers to show up!”

Shane raised his hand and slapped the two bodyguards in the face hard.

The two bodyguards took the slaps without even daring to make a single sound. They frantically bent over and apologized, “We’re sorry, Mr. Shane! It was negligence on our part! Please punish us!”

“Of course I’ll punish you! But now, I want you to get the surveillance footage and find out who and where those bastards are!

“When I find them, I’ll play them to death. I’ll make them know what they’ll get for offending me!”

Shane’s face was full of resentment and menace. He was so furious that his face, which was already eccentric-looking, became even more twisted, looking just like a devil’s.

“Yes! Mr. Shane, we’ll go investigate and find out the whereabouts of those two people immediately. We won’t let them off!” the bodyguards hurriedly agreed with trembling hearts.

…

Meanwhile, Lucas had already gotten into Jordan’s car and was heading toward a certain place in DC.

“How’s the situation now?” Lucas was naturally asking about Maddy.

Jordan frowned. “Things aren’t going well. The Dempseys suddenly went to Maddy’s family yesterday to ask for her hand in marriage. Both families agreed on the spot, and they’re hastily holding the wedding today.

“It’s like what you said, Lucas. The Smiths deliberately did this to lure you to DC.

“The wedding venue is at the DC Maestro International Hotel, and we’re heading there now.”

The DC Maestro International Hotel was a five-star hotel located in the center of DC. It was extremely posh and luxurious, and it was a popular spot for weddings among many of DC’s wealthy and powerful families.

The Dempseys and the Stones were powerful families in DC. Thus, even though the wedding was being held hastily, it was still grand and luxurious.

At the entrance of the DC Maestro International Hotel, there were decorations of flower bouquets and balloons and numerous luxury cars parked at the entrance. The atmosphere was very lively.

After all, the Dempseys and the Stones were both powerful families, so of course they had to throw a lavish wedding.

When Lucas and Jordan arrived at the hotel, they saw guests arriving one after another. There was a huge crowd and countless cars.

At the entrance was a photo of the newlyweds. In the photo, the couple was wearing expensive wedding clothes, but the woman in the photo seemed reluctant and not in the least bit happy.

Upon seeing Maddy in the photo, Jordan couldn’t help stopping in his tracks. He felt his heart wrenching up.

She was the woman he loved. But now, she was being forced to marry another man and was so unhappy. How could he tolerate it?

Lucas patted Jordan’s shoulder, signaling for him to calm down. The two entered the hotel lobby and then the ballroom.

The ballroom was decorated in a gorgeous and dreamy manner, with luxurious and romantic vibes everywhere.

The ballroom was spacious enough to accommodate nearly a hundred tables, and distinguished guests were streaming in one after another. The venue was extremely lively.

Lucas casually found an empty table and sat down while Jordan stood right beside him and looked around.

“Lucas, they’re indeed prepared.”

With just one sweeping glance, he had already found several spots where people were hiding with a vague murderous aura.

It was a treacherous plot, an ambush set up to deal with Lucas!
