Chapter 868: The Stone Family of DC

Michael couldn’t help pondering about this question.

As the helmsman of the Huttons, he naturally had to take more into consideration and think further ahead.

Michael felt uncomfortable.

If possible, he didn’t want to get into any conflict with Lucas at all. If Lucas wanted the position of helmsman in the future, Michael would give it to him without hesitation.

In fact, he had indeed thought of doing so previously. But unfortunately, Lucas had rejected him without hesitation.

“Lucas, if you want to take revenge, come at me! I don’t need you to forgive me. I just hope that you can speak to me properly and meet me…” Michael said softly with a trace of redness in his eyes.

Chad, the butler, looked at Michael’s sorrowful figure and could only sigh silently a few times.

He didn’t know what to say about what had happened back then.

But Chad knew that although Michael was an extremely authoritative helmsman of one of the eight top families of DC and held great power and status, none of this was what he really wanted.

But what could he do at this point?

…

Meanwhile, after Lucas left the Smith residence, he headed straight to the Stone residence, where Maddy was.

Just now, Jordan had called Lucas and informed him that the Stones had already prepared a feast at home and invited Lucas to attend.

Lucas thought about it and agreed on account that they were Maddy’s family members.

As a top-tier family second only to the eight top families in DC, the Song residence covered a very large area, and the design was luxurious as well.

By the time Lucas arrived at the Stones’, he was welcomed into the reception hall by the Stones, who had long been waiting for him.

“Lucas, you’re here!” Maddy had already changed into a set of home clothes. She immediately greeted Lucas the moment she saw him.

“Lucas.” Jordan immediately called out to Lucas and went over.

After seeing Lucas, Maddy’s father, Seth, said politely, “Mr. Gray, please have a seat!”

While speaking, he led Lucas to the banquet hall.

After witnessing Lucas’s might in the Maestro International Hotel, Seth naturally knew that Lucas was not to be offended. Thus, his attitude toward him was much better than when they first met.

The fact that a person who could easily destroy a family almost on par with the Stones was now willing to lower himself and come to their home was immense glory for them!

After much urging, Lucas finally sat down on the first guest seat, which was extremely near the helmsman, Geoffrey.

The other Smiths at the side were all looking at Lucas with curiosity and awe.

At the wedding, basically all of Maddy’s family members had attended. So they had also witnessed with their own eyes just how terrifying this young man was.

Now that Lucas had come to the Stone residence, the juniors didn’t dare to speak to him at all.

Geoffrey laughed and said to Lucas, “Mr. Gray, welcome. It was our negligence previously. We hope you won’t dislike this simple fare of ours!”

Lucas looked at the sumptuous spread on the table and smiled slightly. “If this is considered a simple fare, there’s no such thing as a delicious meal in this world. Mr. Stone, you’re too humble.”

Hearing Lucas’s reply, Geoffrey immediately laughed out loud.

His behavior was naturally not just to be humble. He wanted to test Lucas’s attitude toward his family.

After all, although the Smiths had set up the trap to lure Lucas over and the Stones weren’t aware of it, they were indeed accomplices. Moreover, the Stones’ attitude toward Lucas had been rather terrible in the hotel.

Thus, Geoffrey was anxious and worried that Lucas would have an opinion against the Stones because he bore a grudge for what had happened.

But after hearing Lucas’s reply, Geoffrey finally heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that Lucas didn’t blame them.

Next, under the deliberate flattery of the Stones, Lucas finally got to know some of the main figures of the family, and the two sides had a good conversation.

In particular, there were a few young and beautiful women at the banquet who came over to pour drinks for Lucas frequently. They would try to flatter him and hint to him that they liked him. Clearly, they were harboring intentions toward him.

Their actions were naturally instructions from the Stones.

After all, Lucas was young, powerful, and had high status and incredible background, so many families would want to get acquainted with him.

Moreover, Lucas was very handsome, tall, and even had a good temperament. He was definitely popular among women as a marriage partner.

But Lucas was already married to Cheyenne, the beautiful woman he loved greatly, so how could he possibly fall for a woman from the Smiths?

The Stones were extremely disappointed to see how nonchalant Lucas was.

In particular, these young and pretty women were even more disappointed.

If a young and powerful man with a high status like Lucas valued them, they wouldn’t have to worry about the rest of their lives!

Halfway through the banquet, Geoffrey suddenly stood up and raised his wine glass high. “Mr. Gray, on behalf of the Stones, I hereby apologize to you for what happened today!”

Seth also quickly stood up and raised his wine glass. He said to Lucas respectfully, “Yes, we’ve indeed let you down today, Mr. Gray. So I’d like to apologize to you. Please don’t stoop to our level!”

Geoffrey, the helmsman, and his son, the people who held the highest authority in the family, actually stood up respectfully to toast and apologize to Lucas. The rest of the Songs naturally didn’t dare to delay at all. They stood up from their chairs one after another and raised their wine glasses to Lucas.

Lucas glanced at the Stones, but he still remained sitting. In fact, he didn’t even raise the wine glass in his hand.

He said indifferently with a faint smile, “Do you think that what happened today can be written off with just a toast and an apology?”

As soon as Lucas said this, everyone present had a drastic change in expression and panicked.
