The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 589 - Jumping To His Death

Chapter 589: Jumping To His Death

Moses’s heart twitched. When he saw his son being in pain and agony, there was nothing else he could do except to comfort and deceive him.

“Son, you must have misheard just now. The doctor told me that there’s still hope for you! Don’t worry. No matter what, I will bring in the best doctors to heal your legs! When the time comes, you’ll still be my proudest son and the Kingstons’ most outstanding descendant!

“After I take over the family, I will definitely pa.s.s the position of helmsman to you in the future as well!

“Even if your legs have to be amputated now, you’ll forever be my favorite son! In the future, you can also have prosthetic limbs installed. Besides, we have money, and the Kingstons hold so much power too. You can continue to live without worrying about food and clothing!

“In short, you must not do anything stupid!”

Moses persuaded him earnestly while gradually moving closer and closer to Marc.

No matter what, he had to calm Marc down before pulling him down from the dangerous window.

However, Marc obviously discovered what Moses was thinking.

“Stand still! Stand there and don’t move! If you take another step forward, I will jump down immediately!” Marc suddenly yelled.

“Fine, fine, I won’t move!” Moses immediately stopped and looked at Marc with a pleading expression. “Son, calm down and quickly get down! You’re still so young, and you have plenty of time in your life.

“Just take it that I’m begging you to come down quickly! You’re my only son. If you die, what will I do in the future? Can you bear to leave me? If you’re gone, who will I pa.s.s my position to even if I take over the Kingstons in the future?”

Marc’s expression changed, and he seemed to be somewhat touched by Moses.

As soon as a trace of joy appeared in Moses’s eyes, Marc suddenly said, “Dad, I don’t believe a single thing you say at all! I have plenty of time in the future? Nah, I’ll be a crippled good-for-nothing from now on. What life is there left for me to enjoy?

“As for the Kingstons, I’ve been expelled from the family a long time ago. How can I still go back to the Kingstons? Besides, Grandpa has more than one grandson apart from me. You’re not his only son either. What makes you think that you can become the head of the Kingstons?

“Look, I’ve been lying in the hospital for a few days now, and not a single member of the family has come to see me. Not a single one! They no longer see any value in me because I’ve already been kicked out of the family, and I’m now just a wastrel with crippled legs!

“In the past, they all treated me with respect and were polite to me. But what about now? Hah! You’re just deliberately trying to say some nice things to cajole me!”

Marc’s words were like needles stabbing into Moses’s heart.

Indeed, in the past, even if Marc had just caught a cold, the Kingstons would panic and show him endless concern. They would ask him if he needed medicine and treat him like a precious gem.

But now that he had been hospitalized for a few days with severe injuries in his legs, not a single one of the Kingstons had come to see him. The drastic difference in att.i.tude had caused Marc, who had always been proud and arrogant, to suffer a huge blow.

“Son, don’t be too anxious. If they refuse to come, it’s because they’re blind and lack a conscience! One day, I’ll become the head of the family, and when the time comes, you’ll still be the scion of the Kingstons who no one will look down on!” Moses said with great sincerity.

Marc looked at him and suddenly grinned widely. “Dad, thank you.”

But he soon looked at his gauze-covered legs with his eyes full of resentment. “But I’d rather die now than remain crippled for the rest of my life!

“Dad, I’ll repay you for raising me in my next life!”

With that, Marc abruptly leaned back and plunged down the building like a kite with a broken string.

“No! Son!” Moses dashed toward the window and reached his hand out to grab Marc. But his hand only touched a thin corner of his clothes and failed to grab anything. He could only watch as Marc fell from the 28th floor!

Almost in the blink of an eye, it was as if time had stretched into countless years.

Finally, Marc’s body landed on the cement ground at the bottom of the 28th floor and formed a pool of blood.

“My son!” Moses screamed as tears rolled down his cheeks.

——

Soon, the news of Marc’s death immediately spread throughout San Francisco.

The celebrities and upper cla.s.s circle were definitely no stranger to Marc’s name.

After all, he had been a direct descendant of the Kingstons, a top family in San Francisco, and also the most valued scion. Almost everyone knew that he had had a high possibility of being directly appointed as the next helmsman of the family. Within San Francisco, he had been the top scion whom no one had dared to provoke at all.

Yet such a famous big shot had died just like that!

“What’s going on? I heard that Marc Kingston committed suicide by jumping off a building in the hospital. What happened?”

“We don’t even know why he was in the hospital, so how could we possibly know how he died?”

“Hey, speaking of which, I do know a little bit of inside information! I heard that just two days ago, the Coles and several large families from LA and Orange County suddenly all went to the Kingstons’ place together. I heard that there seemed to have been some kind of conflict. After those people left, Marc was immediately conveyed to the hospital!”

“Seriously? Does that mean Marc was at home when he got beaten up and sustained injuries? Someone dared to beat up a direct heir of the Kingstons on their turf? That’s crazy. If that’s really the case, how come I haven’t heard any of the experts mentioning it?”

“You’re silly. Since the Kingstons have been hiding this news, they’ve very likely been defeated! Otherwise, with the Kingstons’ style, they would have long killed people to warn others!”

“In that case, Marc really jumped off the building after getting beaten into a pulp? That’s really strange! I bet the Kingstons will definitely not let go of those families from Orange County and LA now that Marc is dead!”

Numerous powerful families in San Francisco were discussing this matter.

Of course, some people had gotten close that day and heard some of the inside story.

But in order to avoid getting into trouble, they were smart enough to keep their mouths shut and didn’t say anything.

At this moment, Moses, who was full of grief and anger, brought Marc’s corpse directly back to the Kingston manor and barged into Lance’s room.

“Dad, Marc is dead! Someone must pay the price for this and sacrifice his blood to Marc!”

Moses’ eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with hatred.
