Chapter 54: The Luxe
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In a certain corner of the lobby on the first floor of the Luxe, Bryce was holding a scantily clad escort. Usually, he would have flirted with her merrily, but today, he was rather distracted.
Bryce reckoned that Charlotte should have already been cleaned and sent to Mr. Douglas’s room by now. But the photos and videos he wanted hadn’t been sent to him yet, so he felt uneasy.
Besides, for some reason, Dominic’s voice made him feel vaguely agitated.
“Damn it! What am I feeling so agitated for?! When I get those photos tomorrow and force that bitch Charlotte to go to the Sawyers to put in a good word for us… Or else the Carters will end up with nothing!”
Bryce clenched his teeth, grabbed the beautiful woman beside him forcefully, and raised his head to down a glass of alcohol.
At this moment, the black Jaguar sped toward the Luxe and came to a halt at the entrance after a sharp drift. Two figures got out of the car and hurriedly stepped into the club.
Bryce happened to be facing the direction of the door, and when he saw Lucas enter, he couldn’t help but be shocked. “Lucas? Good-for-nothing, do you actually have the money to come to a place like the Luxe?”
Then he smiled joyously. “Hmph, does that stupid bitch Cheyenne know that her loser husband is spending her money on fooling around? Tsk, tsk.”
At this moment, Bryce’s phone rang again. It was a call from Dominic. He initially wanted to reject it, but thinking that the task was about to be completed, he decided that it was time to break the good news to him.
“Hello, Grandpa. Don’t worry. The deed is almost done. Once I get hold of the video and photos of Charlotte Carter, we won’t be afraid that she won’t listen to us!”
Dominic froze. When he finally realized what Bryce was thinking, he was so furious that his face flushed. “You bastard! Who told you to do that to Charlotte? Do you really have a death wish?!”
Hearing how furious and anxious his grandfather was, Bryce thought that he must have misunderstood something. So he hurriedly explained, “Grandpa, I didn’t do it. I gave her to Mr. Douglas at the Luxe. After he’s done with her, he’ll send me the videos and photos. This matter will then be completed!”
Previously, with Dominic’s approval, he had also colluded with outsiders to set Cheyenne up. Bryce felt that there must be something wrong this time. Besides, the Carters’ crisis would be resolved soon, and he reckoned that Dominic would be glad about it.
To his astonishment, Dominic was not happy to hear the news and instead lost his temper. “You’re really going to be the death of me! Hurry up and bring Charlotte back in one piece!”
Bryce said in displeasure, “Grandpa, she’s already been sent to Mr. Douglas’s room. How can I bring her back?”
Dominic was so furious that he almost vomited blood. “Hurry up and leave then! Lucas is rushing over to your side. Don’t let him find you, got it?”
Bryce finally realized that Lucas was not here to have fun but to look for Charlotte. That’s interesting. The Luxe belongs to Mr. Douglas. If Lucas tries to look for Charlotte here, he naturally won’t be able to take her away. Besides, Mr. Douglas will definitely make sure that he won’t be able to bear the consequences of creating trouble here.
Bryce suddenly got excited and exclaimed, “Grandpa, Lucas is already here. Hehe, I have to go and watch the fun. I hope Mr. Douglas beats him into a pulp. I’ll get to take revenge for my broken wrist!”
After saying that, Bryce quickly hung up, eager to see how badly Lucas had been beaten up.
“Hello! Hello!” Dominic yelled while holding his phone and trembling incessantly in exasperation. You’re going to be the death of me! If Lucas nabs him, Bryce will be in huge trouble!
Bryce was Dominic’s only grandson, whom he regarded as the successor of the Carter family. If something were to happen to him, what was he supposed to do?!
While Dominic was anxious, Lucas and Jordan had already rushed straight to the fourth floor of the Luxe, which was the VIP area, but were stopped by several security officers.
“I’m sorry, gentlemen. Only VIP guests of the club can enter this floor.”
Lucas ignored him while Jordan stepped forward and barked, “Where are Brad Douglas and that woman he brought with him?”
The security officers looked at each other. His tone is so hostile. Is he here to create trouble?
The burly men at the side immediately surrounded Jordan after hearing his words.
These burly men were professional fighters who worked for Douglas. Usually, they were in charge of guarding and maintaining order in the Luxe, solving all conflicts here.
They were also the ones who took Charlotte away after crashing into the car in the Hummer.
“Brat, are you here to cause trouble? You should consider where this is!” The burly man, who was the leader, glared hostilely at Lucas and Jordan.
“You’ve got a death wish!” Jordan instantly appeared in front of the burly man like a bolt of lightning. He raised his arm and slapped the man hard on his face.
“Ah!” The burly man shrieked as he was sent flying by Jordan’s slap. He couldn’t get up after a long time, and his face instantly swelled while two of his teeth fell out.
Jordan’s strike was as fast as lightning, and he had applied a lot of force. So these men, who were usually the ones to beat others up, couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spines.
“Don’t you guys know that this club is the property of the Douglas family?” the burly men asked sternly.
“Hmph, we’re looking for Brad Douglas. Where is he?” Jordan questioned. Seeing that Lucas was losing his patience, Jordan decided not to give them any more chances. He clenched his fists with cracking sounds.
They were both emitting an incomparably terrifying aura, making the burly men too scared to fight them. They simply stood in front of Lucas and Jordan and broke out into cold sweat.
The Carter family was just a small family, and even Bryce, the scion, had to bow down and treat them with respect. The woman they abducted had gotten kicked out of her family too. How could there be such powerful people looking for her?
As Lucas took a step forward, the burly men immediately felt oppressed, and their hearts began ricocheting violently. They no longer had the intention to resist.
“Mr. Douglas is in the room inside. So is that woman.” The burly men hurriedly spilled the beans, fearing that the terrifying man in front of them would crush them into bits if they were slow.
At this moment, in a luxurious room at the innermost part of the VIP floor, Charlotte was lying unconscious on a bed with a man beside her, staring at her with strong desire in his eyes.
