Chapter 105: Can’t Afford To Provoke Him
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Charlotte looked at Karen, who was hiding behind Cheyenne and Amelia, with a look of disappointment on her face. “Cheyenne, Lucas, I finally found out today what kind of a person my mother is. I’m so disappointed.”
Cheyenne frowned and looked at Charlotte in puzzlement.
Suddenly, James pushed Sharon hard and hollered, “Hurry up and apologize to his mother-in-law.”
At this moment, Sharon Hart’s nose was swollen, her hair was unkempt, and there was some blood at the corners of her mouth. She looked miserable and pitiful.
Cheyenne watched in bewilderment while Karen was shocked and puzzled. Sharon took off the superior-grade bracelet and handed it back to Karen. “I’m sorry. I was at fault just now, and I ended up causing so much trouble because I took a liking to your bracelet. I’m sorry. I’ll return the bracelet to you. I hope you will forgive me.”
Karen looked at the scene in front of her in astonishment, almost suspecting that she was dreaming. The esteemed and honorable wife of James Wilson is apologizing to me and even returning the bracelet to me?
Karen blinked several times and looked at Sharon and the bracelet in front of her, unable to wrap her head around the situation.
Cheyenne was astounded, and her face gradually turned solemn.
She was intelligent and had sensed that there was something wrong with her mother’s expression just now. She reckoned that something must have happened, and the appearance of the two strangers further confirmed her doubts.
Charlotte’s words had caught her attention too.
Just as Cheyenne wanted to ask, Karen suddenly snapped out of her daze, took her bracelet back from Sharon’s hand, and put it on her wrist again.
Although she didn’t know exactly what had happened, the chubby woman Sharon had indeed bowed and apologized to her!

Karen wanted to sneer, but she decided to keep her mouth shut when she thought about Sharon Hart’s and James Wilson’s identities.
“Okay, it’s all over now. You two should get going,” Lucas said to Wilson and Sharon indifferently after she returned the bracelet.
As soon as Wilson heard that Lucas had decided not to pursue the matter, Wilson was overjoyed, and he hurriedly thanked Lucas before pulling Sharon away.
As soon as they left the hotel, Sharon covered her face with a menacing expression and barked, “I must kill those bitches!”
Smack!
Wilson immediately slapped Sharon again!
The loud slap instantly dumbfounded her.
“Hubby, why did you hit me?” Sharon was aggrieved.
Wilson glared at her ferociously with a terrifying and murderous light in his eyes. “Hit you? I wish I could kill you! Bitch, you’re a wastrel. All you do is cause trouble for me all day long! If not for the fact that you’re the mother of my child, I would have driven you out long ago!
“Listen up! This is the last time I’m going to tolerate anything like this! If I find out that you’ve caused trouble again and provoked another big shot, I will kill you!”
Sharon shivered in fright due to Wilson’s murderous threat.
She originally thought that he was just acting in front of Lucas and would get back at him after this.
But to her surprise, Wilson really took Lucas as a big shot whom he couldn’t afford to provoke and had to avoid!
“Okay, Hubby. I know I was wrong! From now on, I’ll definitely be obedient and not create trouble for you again!” Sharon hurriedly promised. Actually, she wasn’t a fool either. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have married Wilson.
However, she really didn’t understand. In her opinion, Lucas was just an incompetent man who definitely wouldn’t be able to beat a bunch of men all by himself, even if he was good at martial arts. She couldn’t understand why Wilson was afraid of him.

After hearing Sharon’s question, Wilson glared at her again. “Are you a fool? If he was just good at kicking hard, why would I be wary of him? Can’t you tell? He held back today and the other day at the kindergarten. If he really wanted to, he could have easily killed us!
“How can we afford to provoke such a terrifying person? Anyway, I’ve already warned you. If you have a death wish, don’t implicate me, got it?” Wilson warned Sharon with an insidious expression.
When he thought about the power of Lucas’s kick just now and how effortlessly he did it, his heart turned cold.
Besides, Wilson was worried about something else, which he didn’t tell Sharon.
Ever since Wilson and his underlings suffered a big loss under Lucas and Jordan at the kindergarten and failed to get back at Lucas in the Brilliance Corporation the next day, Wilson had sent some people to investigate Lucas’s background.
However, he barely managed to find any information. He merely found out that Lucas was a fresh graduate who had worked as a chauffeur at the Brilliance Corporation before marrying Cheyenne. His background was very ordinary, except for the fact that he had gone missing for six years. But little was known about what he had done in those years.
Lucas was now very different from what he was like six years ago.
For example, he had terrifying martial arts skills that even Wilson was afraid of.
This meant that Lucas was definitely not as simple as he seemed on the surface!
After Wilson and Sharon left, there was a peculiar vibe in the private room.
They were no longer in the mood to eat. After paying the bill, Lucas drove them back to the Carter residence.
Along the way, the atmosphere was somber.
Amelia just had a full meal and was now a bit sleepy, so she leaned on Cheyenne and dozed off.
Charlotte was hanging her head low quietly and pondering about something.
Karen subconsciously leaned backward with her phone in hand and seemed to be texting someone. From time to time, she would burst into laughter and say words like ‘fat woman’ and ‘apologize’.
Cheyenne frowned, but she stopped herself from asking any questions.
When they arrived back home, Lucas carried the fast-asleep Amelia back upstairs while Cheyenne finally asked Karen, “Mom, tell me the truth. What happened at the restaurant? Why did James Wilson and his wife come to our room to return your bracelet and apologize to you?”
Karen said nonchalantly, “Well, that woman wanted my bracelet. But she was taught a lesson by her husband, so she gave it back to me!”
Cheyenne didn’t believe it at all. “When they came, you just said that it was Lucas’s fault and wanted them to hold Lucas responsible. What happened?”
Karen questioned in annoyance, “What do you want to ask? Your loser husband caused trouble by hitting that woman! Then that woman called her husband. He almost got me in trouble. If not for the fact that Mr. Wilson was magnanimous, we would have died.”
“Mom, that’s enough!” Charlotte finally couldn’t help but lose her temper when she heard her mother’s nonsense.

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
