MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 50

The encounter Preston had today was the most humiliating experience in his entire life!

Being insulted by such a young punk was simply akin to the prestige of Taylors being trampled all over by him repeatedly!

The most infuriating thing was that the young punk actually snatched the Ocean Bathhouse away from them!

Preston didn’t believe that Calvin dared to betray the Taylors and sell the Ocean Bathhouse to someone else of his own accord. Back then, the Taylors had legally appointed Calvin to be the person in charge of the Ocean Bathhouse because they could tell that he wasn’t too ambitious and was instead a little cowardly and extremely scrupulous toward the Taylors. So they thought that he definitely wouldn’t dare to betray them.

But now that Calvin had fled, Preston was certain that Lucas must have coerced and even threatened Calvin into signing the transfer contract.

It didn’t matter that Calvin had fled. But the fact that the Ocean Bathhouse, the dirty business secretly ran within it, and the beautiful ladies had all landed in someone else’s hands made Preston overwhelmed with fury!

The Ocean Bathhouse was very important to the Taylors, and Preston had always been in charge of it. Once the news of this matter got out, the sly old foxes of the Taylors would definitely take advantage and cause trouble for him.

Thus, he was bent on finding the traitor Calvin and regaining ownership of the Ocean Bathhouse!

…

Putting aside what Preston was thinking, Joe was staring at Lucas solemnly and speaking to him in a private room of the Ocean Bathhouse.

“Mr. Gray, you have just ruthlessly undermined Preston and embarrassed him. He’s known to be a vengeful person, so he definitely won’t let it go. The Taylors are also very powerful in Orange County, so they’ll definitely come looking for trouble with you. In order to avoid suffering losses… would you like to leave the city and lay low for the time being?”

Lucas sneered nonchalantly. “It’s just the Taylors. They’re not fit enough for me to be scared and avoid them. Since the Taylors are secretly involved in those sordid businesses, I’m waiting for them to come looking for me!”

Seeing that Lucas had no regard for the Taylors, Joe was still unsure of what trump cards Lucas still held. He didn’t know if Lucas was really powerful or because there were other reasons, so he had no idea if he should be worried or not.

In fact, Joe also secretly planned for the worst in his head. Since he had already pledged allegiance, it meant that he was Lucas’s man. If Lucas really couldn’t defeat the Taylors, he would try his best to make the most favorable arrangements so that he could at least save Lucas and himself.

At this moment, Lucas’s phone rang.

It was a call from a number that Lucas didn’t recognize, but he still picked up nonetheless. “Hello.”

“Lucas, this is Lena. Do you still remember me?” said a clear and crisp voice belonging to a woman.

Lucas was stunned.

Lena was the daughter of Ethan Sawyer, the richest man of Orange County, and also Cheyenne’s best friend. Previously in Little Atlantis City, she had protected Cheyenne with her life, so Lucas had a good impression of her.

But the fact that she suddenly called him made Lucas bewildered.

“What’s the matter?” Lucas asked without much emotion.

“I want to treat you to lunch today to thank you for saving me the other day. Are you free?” Lena asked.

Lucas wasn’t interested in invitations from other women, so he simply said indifferently, “No need for that.”

With that, he wanted to hang up.

“Wait, don’t hang up yet!” Seemingly having guessed what Lucas wanted to do, Lena quickly spoke in a tone that was much more eager than before. “Actually, I’m not inviting you to lunch alone. I’ve just returned to the country recently, and I haven’t had the chance to meet Cheyenne to catch up yet. So I’ve invited Cheyenne, and I’m just asking you along to join us as well!”

Hearing that Cheyenne would be going too, Lucas thought about it and agreed.

“Okay, send me the time and location. I’ll head there now.”

“Okay, no problem. I’ll see you at noon then!” Lena exclaimed, clearly overjoyed.

Soon, Lena sent the address to him. It was a specialty restaurant called The Loft.

It was getting late, so Jordan naturally stood up to get ready to drive Lucas to the restaurant.

Joe originally wanted to be the driver, but Lucas turned him down. “Go handle the matters you have at hand. Find a way to keep an eye on that line of clues, and inform me if the Taylors show up again.”

Then Lucas stood up and left the Ocean Bathhouse together with Jordan.

…

Meanwhile, Lena called one of the higher-ups of the Sawyer Corporation.

She then hung up and stared at a photo of her and Cheyenne saved on her phone while muttering to herself, “Cheyenne, don’t blame me for trying to win your husband’s heart. He’s just such a fine man… We’re best friends, so this should be fine, right?”

There was naturally no response.

But Lena had already dolled herself up, grabbed her purse, and left with a smile on her face.

…

Cheyenne, who was currently in the Brilliance Corporation, had indeed received a call from Lena asking her out for lunch and also informing her that she would invite Lucas along to thank him for saving her life.

Thinking that it had almost been a year since they got to spend some quality time together, Cheyenne agreed.

But when she was about to leave work for lunch at The Loft, her secretary suddenly came over to report, “Miss Carter, the director of the business department of the Sawyer Corporation, Mr. Mitchell, is here to discuss some cooperation matters with you in detail.”

Although Cheyenne was a little surprised as to why Mr. Mitchell would come at this time, since he was here to discuss business, Cheyenne, who had a strong sense of responsibility, naturally chose to talk to him about the cooperation out of obligation.

So she naturally wouldn’t be able to attend lunch at The Loft.

Cheyenne called Lena and said embarrassedly, “Lena, I’m really sorry. An important client suddenly arrived, and he happens to be from the Sawyer Corporation, so I’m tied up at the moment. I’ll have to bail on you for lunch today.”

While driving, Lena smiled and pretended to be vexed. “That’s such a pity. I’ve already ordered the food, and Lucas is also on the way. But since something cropped up for you, and you can’t make it…”

Cheyenne apologized sincerely, “I’m so sorry. Why don’t you two go ahead today? I’ll treat you to a meal and catch up with you when I’m free another day.”

This was exactly what Lena wanted to hear. But she pretended to be embarrassed and said, “That doesn’t seem very appropriate. After all, he’s your husband… Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me and him to have lunch together without you?”

Cheyenne immediately laughed and said considerately, “It’s okay. He’s my husband, and you’re my best friend. Besides, you’ve met him before. Rest assured. He won’t take liberties with other women.”

Lena raised her eyebrows with excitement in her eyes, as if she was about to take on a challenge. She smiled. “Okay, since you’ve said that, I’ll get going now, Cheyenne!”
