The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 1308 – Chapter 1308 The Holmes’ Family Meeting

1308 The Holmes’ Family Meeting

Lucas glanced at the arrogant Luther and ignored him. He simply said to William, “It’s okay, William. Please go home with Amelia. With me here, no one will dare to stop you.”

Hearing this, William finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He knew that even if he stayed here, he would only be a burden to Lucas. Since he couldn’t be of any help, he might as well quickly take Amelia away so that Lucas wouldn’t have any other worries.

“Okay, then, be careful!” William hurriedly left with Amelia in his arms.

Luther immediately flew into a rage and ordered, “Stop them! Don’t even think about leaving!”

The remaining bodyguard immediately charged toward William and Amelia.

But as soon as his body moved, Lucas was already standing in front of him to stop him.

“Take one more step forward, and you will die!” Lucas said coldly.

The bodyguard shivered and looked at his coworker, who had been sent flying by Lucas’s kick and was now lying on the ground. His eyes showed obvious hesitation and scruples.

The young man in front of him could kick his coworker, whose combat strength was on par with his, into such a terrible state. In that case, he certainly wouldn’t be able to do much better.

While the bodyguard was hesitating going forward, William had already left with Amelia.

Luther’s face darkened.

He had said twice that no one was allowed to leave, yet Lucas actually had the audacity to disobey his orders and even threaten his bodyguard. This was simply intolerable for Luther.

“Punk, you’re really brave! Do you know who I am?” Luther stared straight into Lucas’s eyes.

Lucas glanced at him. “The Holmes, huh? How much did you say you want me to compensate you?”

Before Luther could answer, his wife said viciously, “Two hundred million dollars! Since you dared offend the Holmes, you should be prepared to pay the price! If you can’t compensate us the full sum, you can forget about leaving in one piece!”

“Two hundred million dollars? Hah, you’re really greedy.” Lucas sneered.

How brazen of the Holmes to demand so much money!

An ordinary middle-class person would never be able to make 200 million dollars in their lifetime, even if they sold all their assets. It seemed that this couple didn’t plan to leave a way out for him.

Luther didn’t respond to his wife suddenly increasing the compensation. Instead, he smiled smugly. “My wife is right. Two hundred million dollars! And not a penny less!

“I’ll give you two hours to prepare the money. If I don’t receive two hundred million dollars in two hours, you should know what the consequences will be.

“But if you really can’t come up with the money, you can use your house and your woman as collateral. Hah, your daughter looks good, so your wife should be pretty good too. I can make do with them and let you offset some of your debt.”

Lucas’s gaze was icy cold as he looked at Luther like he was a dead man.

Luther insulting Cheyenne completely stepped on Lucas’s bottom line.

“You want two hundred million dollars, huh? Okay, I’ll give it to you.” Lucas looked at Luther and took out his phone to make a call. “Transfer two hundred million dollars to the Holmes right now.

Lucas said, “In a few minutes, the two hundred million dollars will be transferred to the Holmes’ account. You can check it later.”

Luther snorted coldly with disdain. “Hah, do you think I’ll believe you just because you’ve made a call and said that you’ve transferred two hundred million dollars? Do you think I’m so easy to fool?”

“You can call Norman Holmes yourself to ask if the money has arrived and whether I’m fooling you. Oh yes, remember to tell Norman Holmes that my name is Lucas Gray.”

…

Meanwhile, in the Holmes’ mansion in DC…

The atmosphere in the mansion was very depressing, and no one dared to speak.

Norman, the family’s helmsman, was cooping himself up in his room and venting his anger by smashing everything he could in the room.

“You’re so angry! The Holmes finally managed to expand our businesses and reach our current scale, but we had to give away half of our assets overnight. I’m really indignant!

“Damn you, Lucas Gray! Damn the Parkers! You’ve robbed my family’s assets and businesses. When I get the opportunity, I won’t let you off! I will make you return everything to me one day!”

Norman had already brought the Holmes’ asset documents to the Stardust Corporation’s headquarters this morning and handed over half of his family’s assets. But the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable and heartbroken he felt.

The assets were worth nearly 10 billion dollars! Yet he had to give them away for nothing. Norman felt extremely anguished.

But there was nothing he could do since Lucas was much stronger than the Holmes.

When Norman was almost finished venting in his room, someone knocked on the door cautiously. “Mr. Holmes, are you available? It’s almost time for the family meeting, and everyone has already arrived in the conference room.”

Norma looked at the time. It was indeed time for the family meeting. He suppressed his anger, adjusted his clothes, and walked out of his room.

He had to explain to the family why he had given away half of the family’s assets. He had arranged the family meeting today to clarify this matter.

After arriving at the conference room, Norman sat at the head of the long conference table, and the other important members of the family sat at their usual seats.

Norman looked around and suddenly discovered that someone was missing. “Why isn’t Luther here?”

Beside him, a steward of the Holmes said, “I was with Mr. Luther earlier, but something happened to Mr. Tommy, so Mr. Luther went to handle it. He should be back soon.”

Norman nodded and asked, “What happened to Tommy? Is it serious?”

Tommy was his only grandson, so he naturally cherished him and paid a lot of attention to him.

The steward said, “I heard it’s just a trivial matter. Mr. Luther has gone to settle it, so he should be able to resolve it soon.”

“That’s good. We won’t wait for him then. Let’s begin the meeting.” Norman looked at everyone in the conference room solemnly. “I’m sure everyone is already aware of what happened today. I know you must be upset and wondering why I handed over half of our family’s assets and businesses to the Stardust Corporation. The purpose of today’s meeting is to explain this matter to you!”

Next, Norman gave an account of how he had formed an alliance with six other families to deal with the Parkers, only to end up suffering a huge loss. He also mentioned how Lucas had forced him to hand over half of the family’s assets.

After hearing that their dignified family had been forced into such a situation by an unknown young man, many members of the family were displeased, thinking that it was all because Norman was too weak and incompetent.

However, after hearing that not only Holmes but the other sex families had also been forced to hand over half of their assets, the Holmes were at a loss for words.

This could only mean that the young man named Lucas Gray was indeed very terrifying!
