Chapter 739

[ 703 words ]

Lucas wailed to Leon over the phone for ages, but he still could not think of any way to find Evan.

Just before hanging up , Lucas suddenly said, “After what happened with Stella and Evan, are you sure you and Jennifer can really stand up to your father?”

The heads of both the Landon and Redson families always talked about handing over power.

But what power had they really handed over?

At most, they were giving the younger generation a chance to prove themselves.

Lucas had driven Evan to Westbridge yesterday, and his father had nearly eaten him alive for it,

Did he look like someone with any real authority?

He had almost lost his place in the family, let alone gained power.

So really…

All that talk about giving them control was just talk.

When something truly happened, the old men’s authority was still untouchable.

Leon went quiet.

Hearing him sigh, Lucas continued, “Stella and Jennifer aren’t the same. If your father goes after Jennifer, you won’t be able to protect her.”

Stella had Felix behind her.

And the entire Hogarth family.

That was the real reason she had been able to bring down a family as powerful as the Wrights.

But Jennifer was different.

She did not have Felix behind her.

She did not come from some powerful family.

And Leon did not have the same influence in the Redson family that Evan once had in the Wright family.

Leon said, “Worry about yourself.”

Lucas said nothing.

Seriously?

“Fine , fine. I’m just sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong.”

He was only trying to remind him, and somehow he had become the one in the wrong

Without another word, Lucas hung up.

The moment the call ended, a dark figure flashed in front of his car

Lucas slammed on the rakes.

The tires shrieked against the pavement.

Thankfully , the car stopped just short of hitting the person.

Cold sweat broke out across Lucas’s back.

He stared through the windshield.

Then, when he saw who it was, his temper flared.

He threw open the door and got out.

“Summer, are you out of your mind?”

It was Summer.

She looked utterly disheveled.

The moment she recognized Lucas, she forced herself to stand. “Lucas, please help me.”

Lucas’s mouth twitched.

Summer was asking him for help?

What was this?

Did everyone in the Wright family think he was some kind of sucker?

The mess with driving Evan away was not even over, and now Summer had appeared too.

If he dared help her, Stella would never let him hear the end of it.

There was no way he could help her.

And beyond that, he had no intention of doing so.

Summer had once thrown her weight around everywhere.

Her mother had never treated the Landon family well either.

The Landons and the Baileys had years of bad blood between them.

Why would he help Summer now?

Summer staggered toward him, desperation filling her voice.

“Please… help me.”

Lucas backed away. “Don’t. Don’t come any closer.”

“Please. Help me.”

Lucas quickly got back into his car.

Just as Summer reached the door, he stepped on the gas and drove away.

After what happened yesterday, he drove off without a second thought.

Summer collapsed to the ground again.

Chapter 740

Ever since leaving the Wright estate the day before, she had nowhere to go.

She had wandered the streets all night.

The cold outside had been unbearable.

A night spent in the wind had left her with a splitting headache.

Her body had never fully recovered after the pregnancy, and the cold seemed to seep into her bones.

She had been forcing herself onward, intending to return to the Wright estate.

Her own mother had abandoned her.

Frank had blocked her.

And Dora had refused to offer her any shelter.
