Hearing what Lucas said, Cheyenne immediately raised her head in surprise to look at him.

She was actually tempted by Lucas’s plan. But if she really wanted to stay and develop at the Stardust Corporation’s headquarters, she would inevitably have to relocate to DC.

Charlotte and William had always been Cheyenne’s closest relatives, so she didn’t want to be separated from them.

What Lucas said completely solved her worries.

“Honey, did you specially get Cheyenne to work at the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch and appoint my dad as the general manager of the Solar Corporation’s Orange County branch with the intention to train them so that they could help you with running the company?”

!!

Cheyenne suddenly thought of all the events that had happened previously and smiled.

Lucas didn’t deny it. He smiled and said, “You guys are the people I trust the most. That’s why I want to hand the Stardust Corporation over to you guys.”

Cheyenne was touched. Many people used the word ‘trust’ frequently and casually, but in fact, they would keep their guard up against each other in every way possible.

In comparison, Lucas actually trusted her and her family members since a long time ago.

“It’s settled then. I’ll leave it to you to convince Charlotte and William to come to DC!” Lucas squeezed Cheyenne’s tender little hand and smiled.

“Yes, Lucas! I will definitely complete the mission!” Cheyenne said to Lucas deferentially, playfully mimicking Flynn.

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

Lucas followed suit, feeling relieved and elated to see his wife laughing brightly.

The two of them toured around DC, and Lucas took Cheyenne to the Rumsey Court when it was almost six.

Although Alexander had only invited Lucas, it was naturally appropriate for him to bring Cheyenne along since she was his wife.

Moreover, he merely casually agreed to Alexander’s invitation. He wouldn’t leave Cheyenne alone at home for the sake of it.

The Rumsey Court was an extremely upscale Michelin-starred restaurant in downtown DC. Its exterior and interior furnishings were all very elegant.

After parking their car, Lucas and Cheyenne walked toward the entrance of the Rumsey Court. Alexander, who had been waiting here for a long time, walked up to them to greet them. “You’re here, Mr. Gray, Ms. Carter!”

Lucas noticed that Alexander didn’t come alone. Behind him were several young men about his age, who were probably his friends.

Lucas nodded and greeted them.

Alexander, who was extremely good at socializing, introduced Lucas to his friends behind him. “Everyone, let me introduce you to a true martial arts expert, Mr. Lucas Gray!”

At this moment, a young man in a black leather jacket laughed and asked, “Alex, are you kidding? Everyone in DC knows that you’re the best at martial arts. He seems to be about our age. Is he really stronger than you?”

“Yeah, Alex, is there a stronger expert than you?” another young man asked in disbelief.

Looking a little awkward, Alexander quickly said, “Stop flattering me. Compared to Mr. Gray, my skills are far inferior!”

Just this afternoon, Alexander had wanted to teach Lucas a lesson with his strength. But as soon as he tried, he realized how absurdly wrong he was. His little tricks were simply nothing for Lucas!

“Okay, let’s go in now. I’ve booked a private room on the top floor.” Alexander led the crowd to a private room in the restaurant.

The group took their seats in the spacious private room.

Alexander brought four friends along, so with them, him, Lucas, and Cheyenne, there were seven people in total. There was more than enough space at the table.

Alexander was very enthusiastic and sociable at the dinner table, constantly pouring drinks for everyone and guiding the atmosphere. He didn’t have the airs of a wealthy scion at all.

The friends he brought were not scions of wealthy families, unlike what Lucas had thought. They were Alexander’s best friends, who came from ordinary families and got together because of various reasons.

This made Lucas’s attitude towardsAlexander change a little.

After all, Lucas had seen too many snobbish and arrogant young scions whose social circles consisted only of people of equal or higher status than them. When they gathered, they would all flatter and curry favor with each other. And for people with lower status, they would be outrageously bossy and arrogant.

After getting used to these situations, Lucas found this meal with Alexander a breath of fresh air.

It was as if it was really just an ordinary meal, leaving Lucas puzzled about Alexander’s purpose for inviting them to dinner.

Was it really just a simple invitation for a meal?

After three rounds of drinks, everyone became more chatty.

Lucas was not a talkative person and would listen most of the time, though he would occasionally clink glasses with them and take a bite of food.

“Alex, to be honest, I really feel unjust for you! Your father was supposed to be the head of the Steeles, and you’ve done so much for your family. You should be the most eligible successor!” a young man named Nick suddenly said with disgruntlement.

“Enough, Nick. Alex has already said he doesn’t want to talk about these things anymore. Don’t be a killjoy by mentioning them! Come on, let’s drink!” Another young man named Stefon hurriedly stopped him and raised his glass, wanting to change the subject.

Nick, who was probably drunk, pushed Stefon’s glass away agitatedly and yelled with bloodshot eyes, “Why shouldn’t I mention it? I want to talk about it! The Steeles are a group of bastards and going overboard with the bullying!

“Alex is a scion of a rich family, and his father died for the Steeles. Yet the Steeles keep their guards up against him because they’re afraid that he’ll snatch the resources of the other descendants of the family. They’re racking their brains to alienate Alex!

“Poor Alex has lost his father and doesn’t have a single elder in the family willing to speak up for him. Apart from us, who is willing to stand up for him? Who else cares about his feelings?

“I’ve bottled up so many things in my heart for so long! Alex, in my opinion, you should just sever ties with the Steeles, lest they take you for granted even after you’ve slogged your guts out for them!

“With your abilities, you can easily carve a career of your own even if you leave the Steeles!”

Nick babbled on agitatedly to stand up for Alexander.
