Chapter 93: Begging Her at Her Place
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing Bryce’s sudden rage, the Carters remained silent and left awkwardly.
However, when Bryce was no longer nearby, they naturally started criticizing him for his incompetence, poor character, and lack of manners. They all said that the family should be handed over to one of the distant relatives.
In the empty hall of the Carter home, only Bryce and his mother, Sarah Hadley, remained.
Holding onto Bryce’s shoulder, Sarah said heartbrokenly, “My son! It’s been hard on you! Since your grandfather told you to go look for Cheyenne Carter, do it.”
Bryce broke free from her and yelled, “Mom, you are my mother! Are you going to force me to go look for that bitch and bow down to her to ask her to come back too? What about my feelings? Do you care about my feelings at all?”
Bryce’s eyes were red. Making him apologize to Cheyenne was akin to stepping on his dignity. It was a massive insult!
Feeling heartbroken, Sarah looked at Bryce. “Silly child, you are my son. How could I, as a mother, harm you? However, you’re the only direct heir of the Carters, and the person who will inherit the family’s legacy is you. As the head of the family, you have to learn to be patient!”
“Look at your grandfather. Do you think he really wants to go back on his word and get that bitch to come back again even though he already kicked her out? But given the current situation, your grandfather has no choice but to bear with it. Do you think your grandfather is impressed by that bitch? No, he just wants to make use of her to create value for the Carters.
“Once she loses her value, your grandfather will immediately toss her aside! Everything that belongs to the Carters will only belong to you in the end. So what’s the big deal about bearing with this grievance for a while?”

After Bryce listened to her words, his eyes suddenly lit up as he came to a sudden realization. At the same time, he was full of vigor. “Yes, Mom, I know! Okay, I’ll go look for Cheyenne now. Even if she hits me and scolds me, I’ll definitely bear with it!”
——
It was currently already evening. Lucas had driven Cheyenne and Amelia back to Cheyenne’s home and stayed behind as well.
Although Karen would still mock him from time to time, Lucas simply ignored her and didn’t take it to heart. In fact, he would even give her some expensive gifts sometimes, which made her stop making malicious remarks.
William wasn’t at home as usual. Lucas didn’t know what he was doing these days, as he would come home late every day.
Thus, Karen, Cheyenne, Charlotte, Amelia, and Lucas were the only ones at the dinner table.
They had just begun eating when they heard knocking on the door outside the courtyard.
“Who’s there?” Karen muttered with a frown, displeased at being interrupted while eating.
Lucas put down his cutlery. “I’ll go take a look.”
As soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw Bryce carrying a gift box and with an extremely unnatural smile that he was obviously forcing himself to put on.
“Uncle…” As soon as Bryce spoke, he realized that something was wrong. The person standing at the door was Lucas Gray! Bryce’s wrist in the cast began to ache even more. “What are you doing here?”
Lucas raised his eyebrows and retorted, “My wife and child live here. Why can’t I be here?”
Bryce walked back into the yard. “Move aside. I need to see Cheyenne Carter for something.”
However, Lucas insisted on standing at the door and blocking Bryce from entering. “Cheyenne is now the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation. Not everyone is qualified to see her.” Lucas slammed the door shut.

The door almost hit Bryce’s nose, and he was so infuriated that he almost wanted to curse out loud. But at the thought of his agenda and his mother’s admonishments, he took a deep breath and curbed his anger.
Damn it! He’s just a live-in son-in-law! What’s he being so smug for?! When Cheyenne dumps him one day, I’ll see what he has to say about qualification!
Seeing Lucas return alone, Cheyenne asked, “Who’s outside?”
“Bryce Carter,” Lucas answered without hiding anything.
Cheyenne and Karen looked at Lucas in shock. “Why is he here?”
Lucas said indifferently, “I guess he’s looking for you for something. Previously, you were kind enough to bring the Carters a cooperation agreement, but they made fools of themselves and chose to decline. Now that you’re the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation, they naturally want to come to you again to talk about cooperation or something else that’s beneficial to the Carters.”
He had long seen through the Carters’ condescending, snobbish, and mercenary characters.
“What? Cheyenne, you’ve become the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation? When did that happen? Why didn’t you tell me?!” Karen looked at Cheyenne in disbelief.
Charlotte looked at Cheyenne gleefully. “Cheyenne, you’re amazing! You actually became the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation again so soon!”
Cheyenne glanced at Lucas and coughed awkwardly. “I was appointed just before the end of the day at work. I haven’t had time to tell you about it.”
Karen was so excited that she grabbed Cheyenne’s hand tightly. “You should have told us this great news as soon as you got home! I’ll cook some more dishes. Let’s celebrate! Hahahaha! General manager, you’ve finally become the general manager again!”
Karen was smiling sweetly while Charlotte held onto Cheyenne’s other hand and said smilingly, “Cheyenne, treat us to a meal tomorrow!”
They were both grabbing Cheyenne’s hands tightly, and she was immediately caught between laughter and tears. “Sure, let’s go out for a feast tomorrow!”
After saying this, Cheyenne looked at Lucas, somewhat apologetic.
In fact, Lucas had given the position of general manager to her. It was just a pity that Lucas’s status was special, and she wasn’t able to reveal it to make her family change their minds about Lucas.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, the loud knocking came from the door again, accompanied by Bryce shouting. “Uncle, Aunt, Cheyenne, it’s me! I really need to see you! Please open the door!”
Bryce’s yelling was exceptionally loud, and Cheyenne immediately frowned. “Why hasn’t he left yet?”
Karen and Charlotte also hated Bryce and didn’t want to see him at all.
Lucas frowned.
If they ignored Bryce, he would definitely keep knocking on the door and yelling, kicking up a ruckus.
After thinking about it, Cheyenne looked at Lucas. “I think we’d better let him in and talk things out.”
“Alright.” Lucas nodded and walked out of the living room.
Soon, Bryce followed Lucas in.
