Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire

Chapter 252: Chapter 252: File the Lawsuit as Soon as Possible

The man’s deep and cold eyes were like those of a proud, solitary wolf. Anyone targeted by them had no place to hide, nor could escape their fate.

He definitely did not want to go through that experience again.

At that moment, the cell phone ringtone suddenly interrupted the silence.

Henry Summers glanced at it, saw Yalena Grace’s name, and without a second thought, pressed to decline the call.

He knew without guessing that she was probably asking if he had seen Lucas Shaw, and if there was any way to save Grace Summers.

He leaned tiredly in the car, his head pounding and feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

He couldn’t understand where things had gone wrong, how they had come to this juncture.

Everything had been fine before; they had a harmonious family, and Yalena had been gentle and considerate, never fighting or scrambling for anything.

A sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of someone: Serena Summers.

Yes, ever since her appearance, everything had begun to change.

Originally, when he found Serena, he had no plans to bring her back home.

But then, the company unexpectedly encountered some problems, and he urgently needed a sum of money, just as he heard that the Shaw Family was looking for an eligible girl to be a bride for good fortune for the second master.

So, he entertained that idea.

But after bringing her back home, Grace lamented in her heart countless times, fearing that Serena would take everything from her.

In truth, he had no great affection for Serena, so he simply indulged Grace.

However, since the day he proposed Serena be the bride for good fortune, Serena seemed to become a different person, looking at him with cold eyes.

Without a trace of warmth.

And after that, every time Grace provoked her, she would end up with a worse outcome.

First with a fan splashing hot water turned into police custody, then the engagement banquet being canceled, and later... Grace was completely blacklisted by the entertainment industry.

All of these were caused by Serena.

And Serena? Unexpectedly, she gained favor with the Shaw Family and was doted on by the second master, her fortunes rising with the tide.

She was even revealed to be the little junior sister of Edward Selwyn and Vincent Carter from the Horizon Group, and even the group leader of the experimental team at Clearview University...

These identities, Serena had never once revealed in front of them before.

She had been guarding against them all along!

She was indeed an ingrate!

On the way back, a ridiculous thought suddenly emerged in Henry Summers’ mind.

How wonderful it would have been if they had never severed ties with Serena? She was soft and pliable in the beginning, the kind of person that was easiest to control.

If the bond had not been severed, then the Shaw Family would have been the greatest supporter for the Summers Family.

Even the Horizon Group would have helped the Summers Group. Would the Summers Group need to worry about bankruptcy then?

And there was Vincent Carter. Rumors said he was a very well-known director in the circle; Grace had always complained about not being famous enough. If she could become the leading lady in his movie, what resources would she lack?

Just the thought of it made him uncontrollably excited.

Unfortunately, it had all been destroyed by Serena!

He held his forehead, his eyes full of regret.

He should never have listened to Grace, severed the relationship with Serena, and now, having gained nothing, he had simply stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Meanwhile, once Lucas Shaw returned to his office, he immediately instructed Brandon Reese, "Organize all the evidence again, see if there’s anything we missed. Notify the lawyer, let’s proceed with the lawsuit as soon as possible."

"Alright, I’ll handle it now." Brandon had always followed Lucas closely, and understanding his indifferent expression, he knew right away.

The master was determined to avenge his wife.

Without the Lane Family’s help this time, it was impossible for Grace not to be sentenced to four or five years.

Soon, Grace received the news.

"What? Lucas Shaw insists on appealing? You must be lying to me, aren’t you? I don’t believe it!"

Grace stood up from her chair and roared towards the door, "I want to see my lawyer, I want to see my uncle, you must be deceiving me..."

The police, seeing her continuous ruckus, immediately went in and subdued her, "Stay calm, this is the police station, not a place to have a tantrum."

Grace’s face was pressed against the cold table, tears streaming wildly.

Her emotions gradually calmed down, the previous panic and screaming slowly turning into soft sobs.

The officers slowly let her go and had her sit properly again.

"I want to see my uncle, please, let me see my uncle!"

In the end, the police still called Julian Lane.

When Julian learned that Grace wanted to see him, his attitude was very cold, "Sorry, I only have one niece, her name is Serena Summers, not Grace Summers. You might be mistaken."

"It’s Miss Grace Summers who asked us to contact you. Mr. Lane, because you have previously called the police station, so we’re quite clear on your identity."

Julian intended to hang up the call, but upon hearing this, he explained, "I’m really sorry, I made a mistake before, I recognized the wrong person. I apologize for the inconvenience to the officers."

"Uncle, it’s me, Grace... Please help me, I don’t want to stay in this place."

Grace suddenly spoke, her tone full of grievance, with a crying voice that could evoke sympathy.

Actually, she had never met Julian Lane, only hearing about him from Mrs. Summers.

Hearing that the Lane Family had much influence in the Imperial Capital, since they had managed to get her out before, they surely could again this time.

Julian was stunned for a moment, then laughed coldly, "Officer, if the evidence you have is all true, then I can’t help her. If she’s truly guilty, please punish her severely, otherwise, more people will be hurt."

After saying this, he immediately hung up the call.

He took the phrase ’no mercy’ to the extreme.

The police sighed helplessly, "Miss Grace Summers, we’ve already called as per your request, can you be calm now? If you make another scene, we will have to add another charge for obstructing official business."

Grace shrank back, daring not to take another breath.

Waiting for them to leave, tears fell in streams.

Covering her face, she cried, unable to catch her breath.

Why did this happen? Why would her uncle say such cruel words? Did Serena speak ill of her to him?

It must be so!

Her uncle must have been deceived by her!

No, she must get out!

She waited inside, hoping for Mrs. Summers and Henry Summers to visit her, to ask them what could be done.

But in the following days, no one came.

At first, she had been confident, believing that Henry would never abandon her, but the longer she waited, the more uncertain her heart became.

Henry Summers was now unable to care for himself.

Because the videos and articles were not suppressed, but instead grew more widespread, even reaching the front page headlines.

At first, it was just the uproar of public opinion. Henry Summers immediately decided to capitalize on this heat to promote his company’s products.

Free publicity was not to be wasted.

He promptly instructed his assistant to stir things up, no matter the cost, the company must be portrayed as a soon-to-be bankrupt conscientious enterprise.

Thus, in just a few days, the Summers Group sold more products than in the previous several months combined.

Henry Summers sat in the office, looking at the soaring sales figures, and started to calculate in his heart.
