Chapter 1056: No Longer Soft-Hearted
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After catching Lucas’s hint, Rayson immediately said, “Okay, Ms. Carter is kind enough to spare you two, but since you’ve already gone overboard, you should face the punishment!
“Nicholas Williams, from now on, you have been expelled from the Williams family forever! And everything you have obtained from us will be confiscated! You are to hand over all your assets by tomorrow!”
Hearing this, Nicholas panicked. Making him hand over all his assets that he had painstakingly saved over the years was akin to removing his flesh!
Nicholas knelt in front of Rayson and begged bitterly, “Mr. Rayson, please give me a chance! I know I was wrong. I offended Mr. Gray and Ms. Carter because I was too ignorant. I didn’t mean it!
“I just bought a villa, and I haven’t paid off the mortgage. I have to pay for my car too. Everything adds up to more than ten thousand a month! If I really get kicked out of the Williams, I won’t be able to pay for it!
“And I… I planned to get married. If I get kicked out of the Williams, how… how can I live in the future?”
Rayson shouted angrily, “I don’t care! If you keep talking nonsense and say that you can’t live, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!”
Nicholas was shocked and immediately shut up.
He didn’t dare to plead for mercy from Rayson again, but there was someone else he could beg!
After Cheyenne had agreed to Regina’s pleas twice, Nicholas thought that Cheyenne was a soft-hearted person. As long as Regina helped him beg for mercy from her, it would be great!
At the thought of this, Nicholas slapped Regina again and yelled angrily, “Damn wench, if you hadn’t offended Ms. Carter, I wouldn’t have ended up getting expelled from the family! Go beg her for mercy for me immediately. Make sure Mr. Rayson withdraws his orders! Quick!
“If I really get kicked out by the family, as my fiancée, you won’t have it any better either!”
Regina agreed and hurriedly pleaded with Cheyenne, “Cheyenne, you’re a kind person. Just help us all the way. Since your husband listens to you, and Mr. Rayson takes orders from your husband, please plead for mercy on our behalf!
“If my fiancé really gets kicked out of his family and has all his assets confiscated, he will have nothing to his name. Do you have the heart to see me live a miserable life with him?
“We were classmates in college for four years. Can you really bear to be so heartless?”
What Regina said made Cheyenne’s face finally turn sullen.
She had already helped Regina plead for mercy twice, and the punishment for them was lighter each time, yet they still weren’t satisfied and even wanted to be spared from all their punishments. Worst still, they wanted to gain some benefits. Would Cheyenne not be considered a heartless person only if she granted them their wishes?
“Regina, you should know how to be content! You insulted my husband and I repeatedly just now, and I’ve already been magnanimous enough to forgive you. I’ve also helped you reduce your punishment greatly! But you still aren’t satisfied?
“I was willing to plead for you on account that we were college classmates. But if you’re still not content, I have nothing else to say!”
Cheyenne frowned with displeasure.
Hearing that Cheyenne wasn’t willing to help her this time, Regina immediately sulked and snapped, “Cheyenne Carter, it was my fault for what happened earlier, but I’ve already knelt to apologize. What else do you want?
“I may have said some rude things to you, but it’s not like you actually lost anything, right? On the other hand, my fiancée and I were greatly frightened, and we even knelt in front of you for so long! You’re the one who should be content!
“Besides, if it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have been punished by Mr. Williams, so you must help us solve this! Otherwise, I will definitely tell all our classmates that you’re a heartless and despicable person!”
Perhaps because Cheyenne had been too amicable just now, Regina became fearless and spoke to Cheyenne aggressively.
Cheyenne was furious. If she hadn’t been soft-hearted and pleaded for mercy for Regina and Nicholas, Regina would have long been killed and fed to dogs. Yet she was now so greedy as to accuse her of being heartless and despicable!
Cheyenne really regretted it now. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have pleaded for mercy for an ingrate like Regina!
Seeing how angry she was, Lucas felt heartache. He held her hand and said gently, “Honey, look, it’s good that you’re kind, but there are lots of ingrates in this world who don’t deserve your kindness at all.
“Some people are just that greedy. Not only do they not know to be grateful to you for helping them, but they even take it for granted. But when you refuse to help them, they’ll blame you and think it’s your responsibility.
“So, while it’s a good thing to be kind, you shouldn’t be kind to just anyone. After all, there are a lot of shameless people like them in the world.”
Cheyenne came to a realization after hearing what Lucas said.
No wonder Lucas agreed to my request without hesitation but had a sharp gaze in his eyes. It turns out he has long expected this result and just wanted me to see it for myself.
“Honey, I understand. In the future, I won’t show kindness to those who don’t deserve it,” Cheyenne said from the bottom of her heart. She had really learned her lesson.
Lucas nodded and said to Rayson, “I’ll leave these two to you. You may do whatever you want to them!”
Then he took Cheyenne’s hand and walked toward the entrance of the DC Hotel.
“Honey, I… I don’t have an invitation…” Cheyenne said softly. But before she could finish speaking, she saw Lucas pulling out a red invitation card and handing it to the receptionist at the hotel entrance.
“Dear guests, welcome to the auction. Please come in!”

With the invitation card, the two walked unhindered into the hotel’s auction venue.
Behind them, Regina’s and Nicholas’s cries of regret came.
But this time, Cheyenne no longer intended to be merciful to them.
Regardless of what punishment they ended up facing, they deserved it!
