Chapter 83 - 86: The Rich Lady Also Tries to Scam
“Aiyo, Aiyo… what kind of sin have I committed to let my son marry a woman like you… Aiyo, Austin Lucas… My head hurts so much, and my chest too, This woman is going to kill me with anger…”
Security guards from the building were quickly called up, and even brought a stretcher after learning about the situation.
People originally wanted to help Michelle Carter up, but although she was dressed like a wealthy lady, her half-lying, tantrum-throwing look in the elevator was somewhat…
Afraid of getting into trouble, the crowd could only gather around and watch.
In case Mrs. Lucas really suffered a serious internal injury, their assistance might drag them into the mess.
Security finally arrived, and Michelle Carter was shouting in pain and cursing, as if she wanted to curse Lily Gray’s eighteen generations.
Those who could work on the 88th floor of this building were all social elites, who naturally knew about the wealthy families in A City.
Hearing Michelle Carter cursing Lily Gray, it didn’t take long for them to guess the relationship between the three people in the elevator.
“I didn’t expect her to be the down-and-out daughter of the Gray family… No wonder she was driven out by Madame Gray. Turns out she really has no heart.”
“Exactly. Mrs. Lucas is still her ex-mother-in-law. Even if the relationship between the two is over, she should still respect her elders. Tsk, this woman is so heartless, she even hits the elderly!”
The crowd commented, while Lily Gray ignored them all. When a security captain approached her for questioning, she said lightly: “You’ve arrived just in time. There’s a camera in the elevator. Please check the video. With the evidence, 1 can sue her for fraud and extortion.”
At these words, Michelle Carter, who was originally carried out and appeared in great pain, immediately sat up from the stretcher.
“You wretched creature! Who are you to accuse others of fraud and extortion? It was clearly you who kicked me just now! You even kicked me in the chest, making it hard for me to catch my breath… And you actually dare to accuse me of fraud…”
Michelle Carter’s words trailed off as if suddenly realizing she was being too “brave.” Holding her chest in pain, she put on a dramatic show.
However, everyone here had eyes and was not blind to her over-the-top performance.
If previously, everyone unanimously thought that Lily Gray was at fault, after hearing her words and seeing Michelle Carter’s behavior… anyone with a brain would realize there was something fishy about this incident.
Of course, even with so many doubts laid out, there was still one person on Michelle Carter’s side.
At this moment, Austin Lucas came forward, and said to the security captain: “Hello, 1 am the vice president of Concord Group, Austin Lucas. Here is my business card. 1 saw very clearly in the elevator that it was indeed this lady who started the altercation first. Now that things have escalated, I won’t press her for my mother’s medical expenses. Just take her away.”
Austin Lucas was over six feet tall and a fine-looking man. Dressed in a black suit with a cold expression, he exuded a naturally authoritative aura.
The security captain, hearing his words and seeing his imposing demeanor, couldn’t help but nod: “Yes, yes, we believe Mr. Lucas… Come on, you guys, take this lady away.”
Without a second thought, the security guards were impressed by Austin Lucas’s imposing presence and the prestigious Concord Group’s name.
“Wait!” At this moment, a commanding voice came from behind the crowd.
The crowd parted, and a middle-aged man walked slowly through.
“Mrs. Lucas is my guest.. Who gave you the courage to harass my esteemed guest!”
