Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Summers Group Stock Price Plummets

The last thing Lucas Shaw wanted to see was Serena Summers crying.

Her tears were crystal clear, rolling down her cheeks, one by one, as if they were striking his heart.

It hurt him so much that he could hardly breathe.

He turned around, reached out his hand gently to wipe her cheeks, and softly coaxed, "There, there, don’t cry, I’m really okay."

"Do you forget that I studied medicine? Can’t I tell how deep your wounds are?" Serena Summers pouted her lips slightly, displeased, pushing his hand away.

Lucas Shaw sighed softly, "What should I do then? I can’t just stand by and ignore when you’re in danger, can I?"

As soon as Lucas Shaw got out of the car, he saw someone swinging a knife towards Serena Summers; he barely had time to think, his body already reacting.

By the time he came to his senses, the moment the knife pierced into his body, a sharp pain surged through him.

But he had no regrets. Given another chance, he would still make the same choice.

His Serena was so afraid of pain; she surely couldn’t bear such a deep wound.

"But... but I don’t want to see you get hurt either!" Serena Summers threw herself into his arms, her heart softening completely.

Outside the car, Frank Lane reported the incident to the police with a stern face.

Soon, the police arrived at the scene.

Frank Lane retrieved the security footage and handed it over to the police, pointing at Grace Summers indignantly, "This person has targeted our young lady not just once, and this time even injured our future son-in-law."

At that moment, Serena Summers had finished applying the medicine for Lucas Shaw, and she stepped out of the car with a cold voice, "We will pursue this matter to the end, and we demand an injury examination."

The police, recognizing Lucas Shaw, immediately took the matter seriously.

With the security footage and the injury report, Grace Summers had no excuse to defend herself.

Serena Summers instructed Frank Lane with a cold face, "Inform the media about Grace Summers being taken to the police station."

"Yes, I’ll do it right away." Frank Lane’s expression became stern as he nodded towards Serena Summers and Lucas Shaw before leaving.

Before long, the news that Grace Summers had attempted murder and was taken into the police station spread across the entire network.

Mr. Summers heard the news while he was in a meeting room.

His secretary suddenly came in with an ugly and anxious expression, "President Summers!"

"What’s the matter that you’re in such a fluster? Don’t you see we’re having a meeting?"

Mr. Summers’ voice was ice-cold as he reprimanded with a stern face.

The assistant looked uncomfortable, but still, braving countless pairs of eyes, walked up to Henry Summers and whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, Henry Summers’ complexion instantly changed, and he abruptly rose from his chair, his face filled with astonishment, "What did you say?"

In the meeting room, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Henry Summers, eyes full of confusion.

Henry Summers left the meeting room with a face dark enough to drip ink, lips pressed tight, without saying a word.

After he left, the shareholders in the meeting room looked at one another, whispering and discussing quietly.

"What happened? Why is President Summers in such a rush?"

"I don’t know. He isn’t someone who gets rattled so easily!"

One of them shook their head.

Just as the words fell, someone exclaimed, "Everyone, open Weibo and take a look, something’s happened!"

Summers Group’s fake heiress Grace Summers was detained for malicious injury, and Summers Group’s stock price plummeted.

Everyone: "!!!"

Outside the door, after Henry Summers left the meeting room, his complexion became even more somber.

"What’s going on? How could Grace intentionally hurt someone?"

The assistant didn’t dare even to breathe too loudly, reciting everything seen on the internet, "Right now, online everyone is spreading that Miss Summers is maliciously minded, and some even say, say..."

"Say what?" Henry Summers asked in a cold voice.

The assistant was startled into blurting out, "They say that President Summers has failed in raising his daughter, that Miss Summers only pretends to be kind, and that if his daughter behaves improperly, both you and Mrs. Summers cannot shirk the blame!"

"Bang—" Henry Summers’ fist smashed into the wall as he growled through clenched teeth, "Nonsense! Who did she hurt? Just give them some money to get rid of this quickly, and have them come forward to clarify things."

He cursed Grace Summers inwardly for being troublesome but didn’t take the matter to heart.

It was merely hitting someone, after all. There wasn’t anything that money couldn’t solve in this world.

If there was, it just meant that it wasn’t enough money.

The assistant glanced at Henry Summers’ expression, hesitating a bit, "This... might not be feasible."

"Hmm? Why not?"

"Because... the person Miss Summers injured is Mr. Lucas Shaw. Mr. Lucas Shaw said he would pursue this matter to the end."

That statement struck Henry Summers like a bolt of lightning, almost leaving him breathless.

"What? Mr. Lucas Shaw?" Mr. Summers felt dizzy, steadying himself against the wall before he could stand firm.

If he hadn’t heard it himself, Henry Summers wouldn’t believe his own ears.

What was Grace Summers thinking?

Why provoke Lucas Shaw?

He snatched the cell phone from the assistant’s hand and started scrolling through it, quickly understanding the whole story.

The media had released surveillance footage, and it was clear that Grace was targeting Serena Summers.

Lucas Shaw just happened to step in and take a hit.

But regardless, the fact that someone was injured and evidence was captured was undeniable.

Henry Summers slammed his fist into the wall again, "This damn fool!"

Meanwhile, Mrs. Summers also received the news.

Grace Summers had not been home for a long time, and Mrs. Summers was worried, so she called her.

But she couldn’t get through to her phone at all.

At first, she didn’t think much of it, assuming that Grace was just out clearing her mind.

Not until her regular card-playing friends called her to say that Grace was in trouble did she realize Grace had actually been taken to the police station.

In a panic, she changed her clothes, grabbed her purse, and headed for the police station.

She had watched Grace grow up; she absolutely refused to believe Grace was that kind of person.

Her Grace was the kindest, the gentlest. She couldn’t even bear to step on an ant, let alone kill Serena.

This couldn’t be true!

It must be that little wretch, Serena, who deliberately schemed to frame Grace! She wanted to ruin Grace completely!

She must save Grace; her daughter must be terrified right now.

Grace, don’t be afraid, Mom is coming to save you!

Her purse was filled with a lot of cash and several bank cards.

The driver hurried the car to the front of the police station. Mrs. Summers anxiously got out of the car and walked inside.

Lucas Shaw had finished being examined for injuries and was giving his statement.

Serena also recounted the events of today, without missing a word.

Both of their accounts matched, while Grace, on the other hand, was already scared silent, unable to say a word.

Grace had been spoiled by the Summers Family since she was young, a pampered young lady, only scheming minor things to vie for more benefits and interests.

How could she have ever encountered a situation like this?

At this moment, just the thought of Lucas Shaw’s killer gaze made her body uncontrollably start to tremble.
