Chapter 1009: Return to DC
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After hearing Cheyenne’s question, Lucas shook his head helplessly. “I’ve sent people to check in DC and Orange County before, but no one knows where my mother came from. I couldn’t find any useful information, and my mother never said anything either. I think it’s very likely that she doesn’t have any relatives anymore.”
To be honest, Lucas even wondered if his mother was an orphan with no relatives. So he had sent his subordinates to check all orphanages in DC, but he still couldn’t find any records related to his mother.
She was just like an extremely dazzling meteor that suddenly appeared in DC.
Cheyenne hugged Lucas and said comfortingly, “It’s okay. There’s still plenty of time for us to find more clues in the future. Besides, even if we really can’t find any clues, she’ll still be our dearest mother. Amelia and I will always be by your side too!”
Emotions surged in Lucas’s heart as he held Cheyenne tightly in his arms.
But he didn’t intend to tell Cheyenne that he had accidentally found out that Jace might know something about his mother when he hunted Jace down.
But before Jace could say much, the white-beared old man had already taken him.
Thinking of the white-bearded old, Lucas felt slightly worried.
The old man was definitely a top powerhouse whose strength was on par with his.
People like him were few and far between even in the entire country. This terrifying existence was probably a secret even among the royals.
But the terrifying old man suddenly appeared and saved Jace.
It was absolutely impossible for the Huttons to have an expert of this level. In that case, the only possibility was that the old man was from Jace’s mother’s family.
But according to Lucas’s understanding, Jace’s mother’s family had already declined. Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to have such a peerless powerhouse. Besides, Jace’s mother was just a minor figure in a branch of the royal family. She shouldn’t be able to dispatch such a powerhouse just to save Jace.
If the white-bearded old man wasn’t a member of the royal family, then what was his identity?
Thinking of these questions, Lucas felt that he couldn’t continue to stay in Orange County any longer.
“Cheyenne, I’m going to DC again in the next few days,” Lucas suddenly said.
Cheyenne was very surprised. “Go to DC?”
Lucas nodded. “Yes. My last trip to DC was too rushed, and there are still many things I have to do. As you know, the Stardust Corporation is the only thing my mother left to me, and I hope that I can make it larger and stronger, allowing it to exert a greater influence.”
Developing the Stardust Group was naturally one of Lucas’s goals. But more importantly, he wanted to question the Huttons.
Lucas was very concerned about what Jace had said. But since Jace had already been taken away by the white-bearded old man, Lucas could only find that man.
Although he really didn’t want to see that man again, he didn’t want to miss any information about his mother.
Cheyenne thought about it and said, “I’ll go to DC with you!”
As if she was afraid that Lucas would reject her, she added, “I also have plans to develop the Brilliance Corporation vigorously, and I have contacted a few partners in DC. This will be a good chance for me to meet them.”
Since Cheyenne said so, Lucas could only agree.
Two days later, after making all the arrangements in Orange County, Lucas and his wife took a flight to DC again.
The two of them had just walked out of the airport lobby when they heard a loud voice coming from the side.
“Lucas, Cheyenne!” Jordan was walking over and waving at them.
It was just Jordan picking them up. Beside him was a beautiful and fashionably-dressed woman, Maddy, whom they both knew very well.
At this moment, Jordan and Maddy were holding each other’s arms, looking extremely loving.
Cheyenne was naturally very surprised, but Lucas had long known that the two had gotten together. So he wasn’t surprised by their intimate behavior and was glad to see it.
One was his best buddy, and the other was his comrade, whom his buddy had been carrying a torch for for years. Lucas was naturally glad to see them together.
“Lucas, Cheyenne, you’re finally here!” Maddy grinned widely and hugged Cheyenne.
“Maddy! It’s great to see you!” Cheyenne hugged Maddy back happily.
She blinked and said with a smile, “It seems like I should be hearing good news from you two soon, huh?”
At the mention of it, Maddy, who had always been straightforward, suddenly blushed while glancing at Jordan. “Yeah, we plan to get married on Valentine’s Day. When the time comes, you have to attend our wedding!”
It was already November, which meant there were about three months to go before their wedding.
Lucas raised his eyebrows and pretended to be upset. “Jordan, how could you do this?! Why didn’t you tell me that you’ve already decided on the wedding date? If Maddy hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have known at all!”
Jordan hurriedly said, “Lucas, please forgive me. I wasn’t trying to hide it from you. I wanted to give you a surprise! You have to be my best man at our wedding!”
Lucas finally smiled and punched Jordan’s shoulder lightly. “Yeah, I’ll definitely be your best man. I wish you conjugal bliss!”
The few of them talked and laughed as they left the airport. Jordan was in charge of driving, and he sent them to an extremely upscale villa in downtown DC.
The villa was in a prime location. Not only was it massive, but it was right next to a small lake where the view and scenery were beautiful.
After they entered the villa, Jordan said with a smile. “Lucas, according to your requests, I bought this villa for you after choosing for a long time. Take a look around with Cheyenne to see if you two like it.”
The villa seemed extremely upscale and chic on the outside. It was facing the south and had a total of three floors. The windows on the second and third floors were full-length floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed sunlight to shine in, providing excellent lighting for the house with impressive decor.
It was an even more luxurious sight inside the villa. The villa had a massive floor area, and more importantly, the decor wasn’t tacky at all. Not only was it extremely posh, but it was luxurious, classy, and functional.
In addition to the standard living room, bedrooms, and other functional rooms, there was also a large open kitchen, a beautiful walk-in closet, a theater room, and a children’s entertainment space. They were all exquisite and gorgeous.
After taking a brief look at the exterior and interior of the villa, Lucas nodded and said approvingly, “It’s indeed very nice.”
Cheyenne was extremely surprised and asked, “Did you buy this villa?”
