Chapter 1015: Actually Dead

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Carloss shout was so loud that the four people in the car heard it clearly, even when Maddy didnt have the speakerphone on.

Maddy held the phone away from her ear and rubbed her ear, which was ringing. Dad, it seems you already know about it. But Mark Branson and Becky Sanders were clearly the ones who started it. Its not our fault!

Once again, an angry roar came from the phone. Shut up! Mark Branson is dead! It doesnt matter whos at fault anymore!

Anyway, you have caused a terrible disaster for the Stones, so get back here right now! Otherwise, dont blame me for disowning you!

With that, Carlos hung up furiously.

!!

On the other hand, Maddy was holding her phone and couldnt come back to her senses for a long time.

After a long time, Maddy finally said in disbelief, My father said that Mark is dead!

Jordan directly turned the steering wheel to the side, stepped on the brakes, and pulled over at the side of the road.

He said with a puzzled look, That shouldnt be possible! I only broke his limbs. Logically speaking, he shouldnt have died!

Cheyennes face turned pale, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.

She had previously led a peaceful life, and it was the first time she encountered an incident resulting in a fatality. To make matters worse, the deceased was of high status, and he died because of the people she knew.

Maddys expression also became very solemn. Since my father said that Mark Branson has died, he must really be dead. Things are going to get troublesome!

Although Mark Branson is an idiot, hes a direct descendant of the Bransons, one of the eight top families of DC. Becky also said that Marks father is the Bransons next helmsman. The Bransons are definitely going to find trouble for my family.

Lucas, it seems like I really need your help this time.

Maddy frowned and looked at Lucas.

If Mark was still alive, things would be much easier to handle. Since Mark was the one at fault for provoking them, the Stones would probably have been able to handle it.

But now that Mark was dead, things would become much more serious, and the Bransons definitely wouldnt let the Stones off.

Maddy wasnt close to her family and had even gone against them because they kept forcing her to get married to form a marriage alliance with the Dempseys.

But no matter what, they were still her family. If the Bransons wanted to settle scores with them, there was no way they would be able to resist.

Besides, although Marks death was caused by Jordan breaking his limbs, it actually stemmed from Maddys feud with Becky. Jordan had just stood up for her.

Thus, she couldnt stand by and leave the Stones in the lurch. She had to take responsibility for this matter.

Lucas nodded without hesitation. Dont worry. I will definitely help you. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d had a death wish. If the Bransons are willing to stop, thats naturally best. But if they refuse, I will settle scores with them and see how their upbringing is!

Maddy and Jordan were close friends with Lucas, so he naturally wouldnt stand by and watch the Bransons bully them.

Maddy felt much more at ease with Lucass guarantee and thanked him gratefully, Alright, thank you so much, Lucas!

Then she looked at the time and said, My father has lost his temper at home. It seems like I have to hurry back.

Jordan immediately said, Ill send you back!

Lucas smiled and shook his head. Okay, you guys better get going. Were almost home anyway.

Then he opened the car door and got out with Cheyenne.

Fortunately, this place was only a few minutes walk away from the new villa, and they would be there soon.

Im sorry, Lucas, Cheyenne! Jordan scratched his head in embarra.s.sment. He had wanted to drop off Lucas and Cheyenne at their home before leaving. But instead, they got off in advance and had to walk a few hundred meters.

Okay, get lost now! Lucas said jokingly.

After Jordan drove away with Maddy, Cheyenne walked toward Lucas and asked worriedly, Honey, they should be fine, right? Maddys father seems to be really mad

After overhearing Carloss outburst over the phone just now, Cheyenne was worried about the wrath that Maddy would have to face when she returned home.

Lucas comforted, Dont worry. Jordan wont let Maddy face the wrath of her family and the Bransons alone.

But despite saying so, he wasnt actually that optimistic.

He wasnt worried about Jordan, but rather, he knew that the Stones wouldnt be that easy to deal with.

Back when Lucas came to DC to save Maddy, he had already had some brief dealings with the Stones.

Although the Stones eventually agreed to let Maddy and Jordan get married, it was only because they were impressed by Jordans proficiency in martial arts and scrupulous toward Lucas, Jordans backer.

But if the Stones faced ma.s.sive pressure one day, it would be hard to say what their att.i.tude toward Jordan and Maddy would be.

In one of the luxurious villas of the Bransons at this moment

A chubby corpse was lying quietly on the floor. Although there were no obvious wounds on his body, his limbs were twisted at bizarre angles. They had obviously been broken before his death.

The corpse naturally belonged to Mark.

A chubby middle-aged man roared angrily, Have you found out? How did my son die?

A butler-like person next to him immediately came forward and reported cautiously, Ive just ordered people to check the surveillance camera footage in the clothing store and interrogate a few staff members. Weve found out the truth!

Mr. Mark was shopping with a woman named Becky Sanders, but she suddenly provoked Maddy Stone. The two of them got into a quarrel, and Becky then instigated Mr. Mark to deal with Maddy and her boyfriend.

Maddys boyfriend is a martial arts expert, and he broke Mr. Marks limbs!

And that b.i.t.c.h Becky immediately knelt and begged for mercy after seeing Mr. Mark injured and unconscious. After they let her leave, she abandoned the unconscious Mr. Mark and fled on her own.

The staff of the clothing store called 911 afterward, but probably because of the delay, Mr. Mark pa.s.sed away by the time the ambulance arrived!
