The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 688 – Envious and Twisted

Chapter 688: Envious and Twisted

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Kenneth refused to accept Lucas’s money. Seeing Kenneth really not wanting to accept the money, Jane helped persuade, “Mr. Gray, since Mr. Parker sincerely wants to give you these two emerald pendants, you should accept them!”

Kenneth said with a pleading look on his face, “Mr. Gray, just accept them. Or else, I won’t be able to explain to my grandfather!”

Lucas shook his head, “If I wanted them for myself, I wouldn’t be polite with you. But these are gifts meant for my family.”

If Kenneth wanted to give something to Lucas for free, he wouldn’t mind accepting it. But he thought that it was insincere to gift his family things someone else gave him.

After figuring this out, Kenneth stopped persuading him and quickly said to Jane, “Wrap the two pendants up for Mr. Gray immediately and give him a twenty percent discount!”

Lucas didn’t decline the 20% discount, which meant he would only be paying the cost price.

“Yes, Mr. Parker!” Jane carefully took the Black Diamond Card from Lucas with both hands and proceeded to help him with the procedures.

Soon, she returned with two beautiful and exquisite gift boxes and handed them over to Lucas together with his Black Diamond Card.

Lucas put the Black Diamond Card, which made countless people envious, into his pocket before handing the red emerald pendant directly to Charlotte. “This is for you. The fiery red color matches your aura.”

Charlotte was stunned for a moment. She frantically waved her hand and declined, “No, no, this is too precious. You’d better keep it for yourself or give it to Cheyenne! I’ll pass!”

Although she really liked the red emerald pendant, the price tag of 2.5 million dollars was expensive enough to discourage her from accepting such an exorbitant gift.

Lucas shook the purple emerald pendant in his hand and said with a faint smile, “There’s one for Cheyenne too. Both of you are my family members, and you sisters get one each. Just accept it.”

Lucas treated Charlotte as his younger sister, so it wasn’t a big deal to get his sister a gift she liked.

After hearing what Lucas said, Charlotte was slightly relieved, and she no longer felt that the expensive gift was hard to accept.

“Okay then. Thank you!” She wasn’t a pretentious person, so she accepted the red emerald pendant and immediately put it on her neck joyfully.

“This beauty really has great taste and good judgment. She found herself such a nice boyfriend who gave her a gift worth more than two million dollars!”

“Yeah, her friend even shamed her for dating a penniless man just now. But look. How is he poor in any way? He’s obviously super wealthy!”

“Ah, comparison really drives one mad! I’m so envious! How wonderful would it be if I had such a generous boyfriend who treats me so well?!”

“Hey, wake up. You’re a man. What are you thinking about?”

…

Many people around them looked at Charlotte enviously, and they all thought that Charlotte and Lucas were a couple.

Hearing their words, Charlotte couldn’t help blushing a little.

Lucas was indeed a good man who was rare and hard to come by, and she would probably fall in love with him if he wasn’t her brother-in-law.

But she thought that it was nice being his sister-in-law too. The fact that he was just like her brother was enough to make her happy.

Hearing the words of envy, someone felt incredibly miserable.

Standing at the side, Vanessa looked at the bright red emerald pendant around Charlotte’s neck and the way Lucas was smiling gently at her. She was clenching her fists so hard that her fingernails were almost digging into her flesh.

She was incredibly envious!

How could Charlotte be so lucky?

At this moment, Vanessa suddenly remembered something.

From the first moment she ran into Charlotte today, she had made up her mind to let Charlotte know how well she was doing now. So she had been showing off in front of Charlotte and flaunting her boyfriend’s wealth, his well-paying job, and his status. She had also shown off how nice her boyfriend was to her.

But now, she had been mercilessly slapped in the face by the cruel fact that her boyfriend, whom she thought would be her lifetime support, had treated her like a plaything and a joke. He had just been toying with her and deceiving her with worthless gifts. Moreover, once something bad happened, he had immediately dumped her like she was garbage.

But Charlotte, whom she had ridiculed and mocked, was now standing in the middle of the crowd and enjoying their admiration and envy.

Furthermore, her penniless boyfriend Lucas suddenly became a powerful figure far beyond her. Even Kenneth Parker had to be respectful toward him and eagerly begged him to accept gifts worth more than five million dollars.

Lucas wasn’t short of money at all, and he casually pulled out a Black Diamond Card that shocked everyone. He even casually refused Kenneth’s gifts without batting an eyelid!

How did Charlotte Carter get so lucky and find herself such a rich man?

Why?!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Vanessa rushed toward Charlotte and yelled at the top of her voice, “Charlotte Carter! You did this on purpose, didn’t you?

“You deliberately hid your boyfriend’s identity from me and watched me show off in front of you just so you could shame me, didn’t you?!

“Well, now you’ve got your wish. I was dumped mercilessly by that shameless man, and all he gave me was some worthless garbage. I became a laughing stock in front of everyone. Did you enjoy the show?

“Charlotte Carter, we’ve been best friends for years, yet you actually wanted to see me make a fool out of myself. You felt pleased to see me getting deceived and laughed at like a clown, didn’t you? You vicious wench!”

The extreme rage, envy, and indignation made Vanessa’s mind twisted and her face distorted.

“You shameless bitch!” She suddenly raised her hand to slap Charlotte on her face!
