Chapter 27 Sentenced to Death. The Campbell Family in Crane Town
Chapter 27 Sentenced to Death. The Campbell Family in Crane Town
Apparently, Luke Young had heard Charles Campbell’s name and knew what Charles Campbell was
capable of.
“What’s that?”
Noticing Luke Young’s reaction, Carter Moore’s heart twitched. He realized something wrong and
looked down at the phone screen. But Luke Young turned his phone away from him and said
awkwardly, “Mr. Moore, just a moment, please. I need to take this call.”
Then he turned and left.
“You!”
Carter Moore’s jaw shook harder than ever.
Whose phone call would make Luke Young turn so pale that he had to take it?
“Dad, are you okay?”
Hudson walked right up to Connor Scott, looked at Cameron Brown, and asked, “Did they give you a
hard time?”
“No, no.”
Connor Scott shook his head. When he saw Luke Young and Hudson, he breathed a sigh of relief. With
the police and his son, at least, Aiden Roberts and others would never dare to lay a hand on him.
He sort of dodged the bullet.
In front of so many people, Hudson didn’t ask questions or rush to leave. He was waiting, waiting for
Luke Young to get back, to see how this circus ended today.
In three minutes.
Luke Young went away and returned looking worse than ever.
“How about it, Mr. Young?”
Aiden Roberts asked with a smile, “I wasn’t lying to you, was I? Are you satisfied with the explanation
I’ve given you?”
“Luke, you…”
Carter Moore was the opposite. The more triumphant Aiden Roberts became, the more uncertain he
became. He reached out and grabbed Luke Young’s arm. “I don’t care whose phone number it was, or
what he said to you, but one thing, Luke, is that I helped you get to where you are. You can’t just stand
by and watch the Moore family in trouble.”
“If the Moore family falls, it will not be good for me, nor for you!”
That was it.
Carter Moore didn’t say it, but the implication was clear.
There were entreaties and threats.
Luke Young was where he was today thanks to Carter Moore’s implicit support. In the process, Carter
Moore learned many of his secrets.
These secrets could be said to be Luke Young’s weak spot, even fatal weakness. If it got out, it was
enough to kill him.
You wouldn’t help me?
Fine, then we would all die together!
I could put you in the position of chief of police, and I could pull you out of it.
As the saying goes, “Gifts blind the eyes.” You got favors from me, but you didn’t want to do anything
for me? Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
No way!
“Mr. Moore, don’t worry. Just listen to me…”
Luke Young’s mouth twitched uncontrollably and he cursed in his heart. With Carter Moore on one side
and Charles Campbell on the other, he couldn’t afford to offend either side. He was caught in the
middle, between a rock and a hard place. He felt suck!
He pulled Carter Moore out the door. Luke Young shook his head and sighed, “Mr. Moore, let’s forget
it.”
“Forget it?”
Carter Moore glowered, “These sons of bitches broke into the Moore Group, smashed up my company,
and beat up my son and grandson. As chief of the police, you want me to fucking drop it?”
Carter Moore was about to explode!
Luke Young advised, “We need to be humble when we’re trapped in an inferior situation. There is
nothing we can do. It’s just that Dylan and Isaac somehow managed to piss off someone they couldn’t
afford to mess with…”
“It’s not that I don’t want to help them, it’s that I can’t, I dare not.”
Sure enough!
Carter Moore understood everything as soon as he heard Luke Young. Aiden Roberts and others had
big hands behind their audacity. Besides, a phone call from him could scare Luke Young so much. He
was no ordinary big shot.
“Who is it?”
Carter Moore’s heart sank.
“The Crane Town, the Campbell family.”
Luke Young didn’t hide it. He held up his phone, shook it in Carter Moore’s face, and sighed, “You
should know that the Campbell family of the Crane Town had a lot of money. Their businesses,
connections, and influence span several nearby provinces, and they have military connections and
deep roots.”
“It is said that Charles Campbell is the future heir of the Campbell family. He joined the army a few
years ago and has now been promoted to the rank of colonel and has a bright future ahead of him!”
“If he gets pissed off, this is going to end badly for all of us…”
Snapping!
In the middle of Luke Young’s sentence, Carter Moore turned livid and his scalp exploded. His crutch
fell to his feet, and he stepped back several times. He put his hand on the door frame and barely stood
still.
“The Campbell family, Charles Campbell…”
Carter Moore’s heart was broken. Of course, he had heard of the Campbell Family in Crane Town and
knew what they were capable of.
If Charles Campbell really wanted to attack the Moore Group, he didn’t even have the courage to resist
and had to accept his fate.
The problem was that the Campbell family was far away in Crane Town, and Charles Campbell had
been serving in the army. Dylan and Isaac never had a chance to meet Charles Campbell. How did
they get into so much trouble?
Carter Moore couldn’t figure it out!
He asked, “Did he say what Dylan and Isaac did to him?”
“No.”
Luke Young shook his head, “He didn’t say why, only the result.”
“What result?”
Carter Moore asked, his heart in his throat. He looked like a prisoner awaiting trial.
Luke Young sighed and said quietly, “Get the Moore Group delisted in Hilshire.”
Snapping!
Carter Moore’s face turned pale for a moment. His heart throbbed violently, then stopped, and he fell
backward into the doorway of the office.”
Delisted…
That was a death sentence for the Moore Group!
This time, Luke Young did not help him. He knew that since Charles Campbell had said that, the Moore
Group was doomed and the Moore family was doomed.
A broken Carter Moore was not worth bending over to help!
Besides, if Carter Moore was dead, it was a good thing for him. For then he would have kept his secret
for good!
“Dad!”
“Grandpa!”
Dylan and Isaac were so startled as if they were struck by lightning when they saw Carter Moore
passed out. Ignoring the pain, they frantically crawled toward Carter Moore.
Luke Young didn’t even look at them. He strode over to Aiden Roberts and handed him his phone, “I
have done what he asked. I hope he will keep his word.”
“You can rest assured.”
Aiden Roberts took the phone and laughed, “Mr. Young did an excellent job today, and I’ll put in a good
word for you.”
Luke Young turned and walked away.
Hudson and Connor Scott looked into each other’s eyes as they sat on the sofa. The same question
circled in their minds.
Who was that guy on the phone???
