The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 460 – A Small Lesson

Chapter 460: A Small Lesson

Ethan’s status today was already quite high as the helmsman of one of the four top families in Orange County and the richest person in the county. He was very well known as well.

But he was really a junior in front of Damon, who was in his seventies and a friend of Ethan’s father. Previously, they had agreed on the marriage alliance between Lena and Damon’s grandson. So no matter what, Ethan could indeed be considered a junior of Damon.

As he was the richest man in Orange County, his words immediately made many people gasp in amazement.

“So this is Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in Orange County? He looks very young!”

“Why is the richest man in Orange County here too? He even said that he brought his daughter here to apologize to Mr. Parker. Did something happen?”

“I once heard that Tristan Parker was engaged to Ethan’s daughter, and now that Tristan is dead, he’s probably here to discuss the matter of their engagement. But why does he want to apologize? Could Tristan’s death be related to his daughter?”

“Shh! Do you have a death wish? Don’t spout nonsense like that! That’s the richest man in Orange County. You’re dead meat if he hears you!”

…

All of a sudden, another enthusiastic discussion was sparked because of Ethan’s arrival and his mention of making Lena apologize.

The Turners were almost numb from being overjoyed at the continuous arrival of such big shots.

During normal circumstances, they would definitely be over the moon to have so many bigwigs at Dylan’s wedding.

But no one was considering the matters of the wedding now, as all their attention was drawn to Damon, Matthew, the group of helmsmen of the top LA families, Flynn, and Ethan.

The Turners had absolutely no say in front of so many big shots, let alone building some connections and getting acquainted with them.

Justin’s eyes were also wide open.

These bigwigs were streaming in one after another, and at this point, he really couldn’t tell which one of them was the big shot his father wanted him to please.

The dozen or so people in front of him were all of higher status than the Herons. And to him, they were all powerful figures, so he was really stuck in a dilemma!

After Ethan bent forward to apologize, he noticed that his daughter, who was standing beside him, was still keeping her back straight, which angered him.

Ethan poked Lena’s head and urged, “You unfilial daughter! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Parker! At the same time, tell him truthfully about everything you know regarding the incident yesterday!”

Lena remained standing stubbornly and refused to bow down and apologize. “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I apologize?”

Noticing that Damon was frowning, Ethan gritted his teeth and slapped Lena’s face!

Smack!

After giving her a tight and loud slap on the face, Ethan rebuked furiously, “How dare you talk back to me? I told you first thing this morning to come over and apologize to Mr. Parker and then explain to him who the young man with you at Caldo Mountain last night was! That person is the likely suspect of the murder. You’d better hurry up and speak up. You don’t want the Sawyers to be accused of covering up for a murderer, do you?”

In fact, the Parkers must have gotten a clear investigation of who the person with Lena last night was. After all, Tristan was the only one who died, and there were at least twenty of his scion friends there too. They could easily find out who the man was by asking any of them.

But Ethan did this mainly to express his attitude to the Parkers and show that he was really unaware of the situation. He also wanted to show that Lena wasn’t in an illicit relationship with that young man either.

Unfortunately, Lena refused to reveal the identity of the young man who was with her.

Ethan was angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

While everyone’s attention was focused on Ethan and Lena and trying to find out some insider information about the death of Tristan from them, Charlotte came over to Lucas and whispered, “Lucas, you should hurry up and leave while they’re being distracted and focusing on the Sawyers! I went around checking, and I discovered that there is an inconspicuous storage room not far away. There’s a window in that room you can definitely escape from!”

Only then did Lucas realize that Charlotte had disappeared for a short while just now to find an escape route for him.

There were so many powerful figures present, and they were all standing against Lucas in unison, while Lucas only had Flynn to protect him. They were clearly outnumbered and possibly outclassed!

Charlotte was afraid that they would really unite, stop Lucas from leaving, and take him away!

Lucas was naturally touched by Charlotte’s behavior.

But he was not going to escape through the window of a storage room.

If he left, these people would definitely not spare his wife, Cheyenne, Charlotte, and Flynn. So there was no way he would escape on his own without them.

Besides, Lucas didn’t need to escape at all because these people in front of him could do nothing to him.

“Hmph! You guys are actually thinking of escaping? With me here, you can’t escape anywhere!” All of a sudden, a sharp voice sounded beside them.

Charlotte was startled when she saw Nikki standing beside them with a menacing expression on her already unattractive face, which was now twisted into a grimace of excitement and hatred.

Charlotte suddenly felt that her cousin, who was only a few months older than her, was just like a complete stranger. She was absolutely terrifying and just like a ghost!

Nikki deliberately yelled loudly, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

She felt she couldn’t intervene when Damon was speaking, but she was worried that Lucas might take the opportunity to sneak away. So she had deliberately come over to guard them and prevent them from leaving.

It just so happened that she overheard Charlotte and Lucas’s conversation!

“Nikki, you’re such a villain!” Seeing the smug and conceited expression on Nikki’s face, Charlotte boiled with fury and raised her hand to slap her face.

Smack!

Charlotte didn’t hold back at all.

She didn’t know the disgusting things that Nikki had done to Cheyenne and Lucas last night. But Nikki’s act of exposing her plan to escape and standing on Damon’s side was enough to make Charlotte feel repulsed by her, who had no concerns for her kin and was only interested in selfish benefits.

Nikki covered her swollen and painful cheek for a while before reacting and yelling, “Charlotte Carter, you bitch! How dare you slap me?!”

She was so livid that she raised her hand and reached out to scratch Charlotte’s face with her long nails! Ahhhh! This is infuriating!

She was determined to scratch Charlotte’s charming face and see how she could still be a general manager!

But before she could reach Charlotte’s face, her wrists were grabbed by a pair of iron clamp like hands.

As soon as Nikki raised her head, she was met with Lucas’s icy cold eyes.

The next second, Nikki felt an immense blow to her stomach that sent her flying away!

Bang!

Nikki’s body collided with a concrete pillar several meters away before falling heavily to the ground.

Amid everyone’s shocked gazes, Lucas calmly moved his foot away and said coldly, “She should have been taught this lesson a long time ago!”
