“No, don’t kill me! If you kill me, you’ll be breaking the law!” Declan was beaten into a pulp by Aston, and it took him a long time to sober up slightly. He then heard Lucas saying that he wouldn’t spare their lives, making him howl loudly.

Lucas frowned with some annoyance in his eyes while Aston immediately kicked Declan hard. “Shut up! You disgraceful thing, get lost back to LA and reflect on yourself. You’re not allowed to leave your home again!”

As soon as Declan heard this, he was relieved and hurriedly pushed the door open to scurry out.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Gray. We will teach him a good lesson, and he won’t appear in front of you or create trouble for you again in the future,” Aston hurriedly said, for fear that Lucas would be angry again.

Lucas had never taken a small fry like Declan seriously anyway. He simply said right away, “It seems that you and your grandfather aren’t fools, so I’ll cut straight to the chase. I can help your family expand your business into Orange County and even bring you huge benefits that you can’t imagine. However, I want your family to pledge allegiance in exchange.”

Lucas’s words were totally beyond Aston’s expectations. Lucas Gray isn’t planning to punish us and chase us out of Orange County but is instead offering to provide some benefits for us? Does this mean he wants to cooperate with our family?

Aston was overjoyed. If he could cooperate with the Stardust Corporation, which was backed by the Huttons, it would undoubtedly bring enormous benefits to the Brookes!

However, what does he mean by pledge allegiance?

“Mr. Gray, what do you mean by pledge allegiance?” Aston asked cautiously. If he could have the support of the Huttons because of the Stardust Corporation, that would be wonderful!

Lucas chuckled. “I mean that I want the Brookes to pledge allegiance to me.”

Aston’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Lucas’s indifferent expression.

Afterward, Lucas said some things to him that made Aston look even more astounded. The plans that Lucas mentioned were just too brazen and insane!

Moreover, Lucas’s identity was a shock to him.

Aston felt as though he was being struck by consecutive bolts out of the blue, making him dizzy and putting him at a loss for words.

“Okay. I know that this is something that you don’t have a say in. You can relay my words to your grandfather and let him come to a decision. It’s up to you to decide if you want to pledge allegiance to me or be at odds with me.” Lucas narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, signaling that Aston could take his leave.

Aston hurriedly left the Stardust Corporation office, still clad in his clothes drenched in sweat.

The things that Lucas said just now were too important. Although the choice seemed simple, it concerned the future fate of the Brookes!

Since Aston was in no place to make a decision, he immediately drove back to LA to break the news to his grandfather!

After Aston left the chairman’s office in a hurry, Davis couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Mr. Gray, what if Aston Brooke goes to the Huttons and tells them about what you just told him… Wouldn’t that put you in a disadvantageous position?”

Lucas shook his head. “No, they aren’t that stupid. If the Brookes really snitch on us, that would mean that they choose to be at odds with me. The Huttons might not necessarily give them many benefits, but they would have to face my wrath. They wouldn’t dare to take such a risk.

“Besides, even if they decide to snitch, what can the Huttons do to me?” Lucas said with a domineering aura. Although the Huttons were feared by many in DC, they were insignificant to Lucas.

Davis soon recovered from the shock. Lucas was a member of the Hutton family in the first place. And in fact, on the first day he returned to Orange County, Chad Kennedy, the head butler of the Huttons, had looked for Lucas and asked him to go back to DC and take over the Hutton empire. However, Lucas declined without hesitation.

Therefore, Lucas did have the right to be disdainful toward the Huttons.

Davis was unclear about Lucas’s abilities, but he knew that Lucas definitely had the ability to fulfill his plan!

“In a while, tell some enterprises to get connected to the Brookes and agree to cooperate with them. We’ll consider it a little bit of goodwill I’m giving them.”

After giving some instructions, Lucas suddenly recalled something. “Furthermore, Charlotte’s character and aptitude are pretty good. Try to train her well as soon as possible and get her ready to take on an authoritative position.”

Lucas was now short of staff, especially ones he could trust. Besides, Charlotte was Cheyenne’s sister, so he definitely trusted her. He believed that she would be of great help to him as long as she was trained and groomed well.

“Yes, Mr. Gray!” Davis agreed with a nod.

While Lucas was going downstairs to leave the office, he ran into Charlotte.

“Lucas, are you alright? I just saw that bastard Declan Adams entering the office with Scarlet’s boyfriend and going to the top floor to see the general manager. They didn’t make things hard for you, did they?” Charlotte asked worriedly.

Charlotte had seen how powerful Lucas was, and thus she wasn’t worried that the scumbag would be able to do anything to him. But if others got involved in nitpicking on Lucas, it would be hard to say.

“It’s okay. The man next to Adams just now actually happens to be his brother-in-law. Adams got beaten up badly just now, and he won’t dare to pester you again,” Lucas said smilingly without explaining much.

Feeling relieved, Charlotte exclaimed, “Serves him right! He’s already married, but he’s still so shameless. He deserves to be beaten to death by his wife’s family!

“But why are you here, Lucas?” Charlotte asked in puzzlement after rejoicing.

“I just happened to come over to talk to Mr. Davis for some matters,” Lucas said.

“You know the general manager?” Charlotte was even more surprised.

Lucas said casually, “Well, I got to know him some time ago, and we have some ties with each other. If you encounter any trouble in the company or get bullied by anyone, just go to him. Don’t stand on ceremony.”

Charlotte immediately understood. Then she joked, “Sure, I’ll throw my weight around in the future by using your name!”

At this moment, her colleague came and said to Charlotte, “So you’re here. Mr. Davis is looking for you. He would like you to go to his office.”

Startled, Charlotte pointed at her nose in disbelief. “Me?”

“Of course. Is there someone else named Charlotte Carter in our company? Hurry and go,” the colleague urged.
