<h4>Chapter 529: I Trust You</h4>


    Once Karen’s stream aired, it immediately sparked a great reaction on the inte.


    Apart from the streams on the major tforms, there were also many people who took screen recordings of the stream and uploaded it onto the inte. Even the major news media tforms in Orange County immediately released reports about it.


    “Oh my god! Thatdy is really pitiful! Her son-inw named Lucas Gray is really a scoundrel!”


    “That’s right. I heard he’s a live-in husband who sponges off his wife. How dare he maliciously want to kill his father-inw and encroach on their family assets? He even beat thisdy up into such a terrible state. How vicious!”


    “Lucas Gray is the person in charge of the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch. Since the Stardust Corporation has such an immoral helmsman, let’s all boycott the Stardust Corporation from now on!”


    “Yes! The Stardust Corporation is also an aplice! Boycott it and let it go out of business!”


    “Get lost from Orange County, Stardust Corporation!”


    …


    Gradually, thements began to sway toward a general direction, and they were all moring about boycotting the Stardust Corporation.


    Cheyenne quietly looked at Karen’s miserable face, which had been beaten up terribly, andrge teardrops rolled down incessantly.


    Cheyenne quietly listened to Karen’s words, which were full of false and untrue information. But it was an irrefutable fact that she had ended up in this miserable state.


    After making Karen leavest night, Cheyenne still couldn’t allow herself to bepletely ruthless toward Karen. So when she watched Karen leave the hospital, she unexpectedly saw Lucas’s subordinates pulling Karen into a car.


    She thought that Lucas just wanted to give Karen a warning before getting people to take her away.


    But she could have never imagined that Karen would end up in such a sorry plight less than a dayter.


    So she immediately called Lucas to ask about it, but he actually said that he didn’t know where Karen was.


    “Lucas… why did you lie to me? Why did you… do such a thing to my mom…” Cheyenne slumped onto her desk in agony and began crying in pain.


    At the same time, her heart was full of remorse.


    If she hadn’t made Karen leavest night, this wouldn’t have happened to her now!


    When Karen wept and said that she was doing it all for her daughters and even said that she might die there, it made Cheyenne even more grief-stricken.


    Lucas’s decision to hide it from her and her mother’s tragic situation made her feel devastated and miserable!


    At this moment, Lucas received a sudden phone call from Bruce, the helmsman of the Hale family.


    “Mr. Gray, Karen Turner has suddenly appeared on a livestream. You can watch it by tapping the notification on your phone. The content is extremely disadvantageous to you!”


    Hearing this, Lucas immediately opened the app.


    But at this moment, Karen’s stream had just ended.


    Due to the great impact and influence of the public opinion caused by this matter, there were lots of recordings of the stream avable on the homepage of Twitter even though it had already ended.


    Lucas immediately clicked on the video. But the more he watched, the more sullen his expression became.


    Karen had totally twisted facts and made up stories. Moreover, when Lucas saw the tragic state she was in, he immediately understood that Karen must have been instigated or forced into this by someone.


    This also meant that Karen was in an extremely dangerous situation at the moment!


    Lucas couldn’t help frowning.


    Besides, he thought about the phone call from Cheyenne just a few minutes ago, during which she had asked him where Karen was. Given the unusual tone of her voice, he reckoned that she had probably already watched the stream.


    Lucas didn’t dare to imagine what kind of mood Cheyenne was in at the time…


    Karen was Cheyenne’s mother, but the former even degraded him and smeared him on the inte. He thought that Cheyenne would also probably more or less believe what Karen said…


    At the same time, Karen’s words had not only left a tremendous lethal impact on Cheyenne and his rtionship, but it also dealt a destructive blow to the Stardust Corporation.


    The power of thements online was imaginable.


    Karen’s stream had just ended, but the videos had already spread across all the major media tforms in Orange County. It was also the current hot topic of discussion.


    Due to Karen’s words and her deliberate attempt to mislead the public, the Stardust Corporation was about to face an unprecedented crisis. Thepany’s stock price and market value would plummet immediately. This would be a massive blow to the future development of the Stardust Corporation.


    Without a doubt, the person who snatched Karen awayst night had deliberately resorted to so many tactics in order to target Lucas and the Stardust Corporation.


    Moreover, there was another issue that couldn’t be ignored?—Karen’s safety.


    If Karen was still of some value to the mastermind, killing her and then framing Lucas for it was undoubtedly their n.


    When the time came, be it the Stardust Corporation or Lucas himself, they would undoubtedly receive k and be ostracized by the public. The Stardust Corporation might even face the crisis of annihtion!


    With a gloomy expression, Lucas clenched his fists tightly. “Damn it! No matter who is behind all of this, I won’t let them off!”


    <i>Bang!</i>


    Suddenly, the door of the chairman’s office opened from the outside, and Charlotte stumbled in. Panic-stricken and flustered, she looked at Lucas and asked incoherently, “Lucas, is all that… true ? My mom… That’s not true, is it? Where is she now?”


    The bottom of Charlotte’s eyes was red, and she was about to break down entirely.


    Just a moment ago, she had watched the stream on her phone. She had initially wanted to just turn it off, but she was still Karen’s daughter, so she had instantly recognized that the woman beaten into a pulp was her mother, Karen!


    Although her rtionship with Karen was strainedtely because of Karen’s actions, thetter was still her mother, so how could she not show her any concern?


    After hearing all of Karen’s usations against Lucas, Charlotte was instantly astounded.


    Of course, she knew that many of the things Karen had said were untrue. But how could Karen, who was supposed to be taking care of her father in the hospital, suddenly end up in such a state?


    So she immediately called Cheyenne, who told her that it was indeed Lucas’s subordinates who had taken Karen awayst night.


    Charlotte felt that her views of life had been severely impacted!


    She always knew that her mother and Lucas had a bad rtionship, but she didn’t expect it to be so terrible!


    Lucas looked at Charlotte’s panicked look and disbelief and let out a long sigh. He said softly, “If I say that I didn’t do all of that and that Karen was just making things up to spread rumors, would you believe me?”


    Charlotte tightly bit her lower lip and remained silent.


    Just as Lucas felt a little disappointed, he suddenly heard Charlotte’s answer.


    “I believe you!”


    Lucas nced at Charlotte in surprise and found that her gaze had be firm. She repeated, “I trust you, Lucas!”
