The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 97 – Uninvited Guests

Chapter 97: Uninvited Guests

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

With a gentlemanly smile, Aston walked up to Cheyenne and held his hand out politely. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Carter! I am Aston Brooke from LA, and my father is the general manager of the Solar Corporation, Shaun Brooke. Have you ever heard of us?”

Aston’s smile was reserved and conceited. After all, the Brooke family was a top family with great fame and reputation.

However, Cheyenne said indifferently, “I’m ignorant. I’ve never heard of you and your father.”

With that, she ignored Aston’s attempt to shake her hand and turned around to enter the hotel.

Aston’s hand was left hanging in mid-air, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

Lucas looked at him coldly and entered with Cheyenne.

After meeting twice, Lucas noticed there was strong desire and ambitiousness in Aston Brooke’s gaze when he looked at Cheyenne.

He had previously instructed Flynn Davis not to let any of the Brookes’ businesses appear in Orange County. But now it seemed that they were still moving about in Orange County happily.

Seeing the way Cheyenne and Lucas were ignoring Aston, Scarlet was overwhelmed with fury. “Aston, they were verboard! How dare they ignore you? I must teach her a lesson!”

Just as she was about to rush toward Cheyenne, Aston grabbed her wrist to stop her. “Wait! Don’t provoke her.”

Scarlet suddenly pouted and said angrily, “Aston, you’re defending that bitch Cheyenne Carter? You don’t have a crush on her, do you? I’ve told you, this woman got to her current position through dirty means!”

He took her hand and laughed. “Why would I have a crush on her? I just thought that you should still be polite to her since she’s now the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation and your cousin too. You’re the only one I adore. Aren’t you clear about how I’ve been treating you the past few days?”

As he spoke, Aston pinched Scarlet’s waist flirtatiously.

“Ah, you’re so annoying! We’re outside!” Scarlet looked at Aston coquettishly as she snuggled up into his arms.

These days, the two of them had been spending a lot of time with each other and had gone all the way. They were in the honeymoon period of their relationship.

Aston smiled nonchalantly, knowing that coaxing Scarlet was easy since he could tell that she was only after his money. Once he said a few words to cajole her and promise to marry her in LA, she would be submissive to him again.

Aston was an expert at romance, and he had long mastered this skill.

Soon, he entered the hotel with Scarlet in his arms.

At this moment, Lucas and Cheyenne had already met up with Karen, Charlotte, and Amelia in the private room. Apart from William, everyone was here.

As soon as they entered, Amelia pounced on them and happily held their hands as she led them to their seats.

Pretending to be jealous, Charlotte teased with pouted lips, “Amelia, you’re so naughty. You forgot all about me as soon as you saw your daddy and mommy.”

Amelia smiled shyly and scurried over to kiss Charlotte’s cheek.

Karen was dressed ostentatiously today, and she had deliberately styled her hair at a salon nearby. She was wearing a dark green dress and a top-quality diamond bracelet.

This diamond bracelet was naturally not the one that Bryce gave her yesterday but one of the pieces that Lucas had bought at the auction.

At the time, Lucas wanted to give all that valuable jewelry to Cheyenne. But unfortunately, she refused.

Afterward, Lucas picked out this bracelet and gave it to Karen to shut her foul mouth up.

Actually, Karen was quite pretty when she was silent. After all, she had to have good genes in order to give birth to such beautiful daughters, Cheyenne and Charlotte.

But unfortunately, whenever Karen spoke, she would be cursing or arguing with someone most of the time, ruining her image.

Just when they were having fun and playing, someone knocked on the door of the private room.

Thinking that it was the service staff, Charlotte said, “Come in.”

To their surprise, the person who pushed open the door of the private room was not a waiter but Scarlet Wright and Aston Brooke, whom Lucas and Cheyenne had met at the entrance.

Charlotte questioned hostilely, “What are you two doing here?”

She had always disliked Scarlet, her cousin who often humiliated and insulted her since they were children. Scarlet liked calling Charlotte an outsider and a shameless bastard. Charlotte used to burst into tears after being mocked and scolded by her.

Scarlet didn’t bother being polite and pulled Aston to the table. “What a coincidence. Aston and I happen to be here for lunch today too, and we ran into Cheyenne at the entrance. We thought that we should come over and join you guys for lunch. Well, the more, the merrier!”

She looked at Aston sweetly and smiled coquettishly. “Oh, right, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Aston Brooke, the heir of the famous Brooke Family from LA. We’re getting engaged soon. Today’s meal will be on us!”

Charlotte watched coldly as Scarlet showed her boyfriend off and pursed her lips in disdain. “No thanks. We can still afford to pay for a meal. We don’t need you to be worried about it! Besides, this is our family lunch. Why are you interfering? I don’t want to eat with you. I lose my appetite whenever I see your face!”

“You!” Scarlet was furious, as Charlotte’s words made her feel a little embarrassed in front of Aston.

Scarlet couldn’t help but tug Aston’s clothes to have him stand up for her. She hated them too, and if Aston hadn’t said that he wanted to come and form a good relationship with them, she wouldn’t have come!

Unfortunately, what Scarlet wished for did not happen. Aston’s eyes were glued onto the beautiful Carter sisters. How could he have the time to bother about Scarlet?

Lucas stared at Aston coldly while Cheyenne and Charlotte were similarly displeased about the uninvited guests. Karen was the only one who kept staring at Aston with a gaze of satisfaction ever since she heard his family background.

Aston Brooke is handsome and looks decent. Although I’m not too clear about his family, he’s definitely the scion of a rich family, and that makes him a good candidate for a son-in-law. It’ll be a good choice to let either Cheyenne or Charlotte marry him!

Karen had long ignored Aston’s girlfriend, Scarlet Wright.
