MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 6 - Season 8 Episode 34

Jake raised his hand, looked at the time on the watch, and said sternly, “As far as I know, just a few minutes ago, the Elite Business Exchange held in the Walton Hotel ended. I’m waiting to see if the Reynold Walker you mentioned can make it here within fifteen minutes!”

Estelle said fawningly, “Speaking of this Elite Business Exchange, I heard that it was supposed to be hosted by the Watsons this time, but the hosting rights were transferred to the Kingstons. I’m sure the Kingstons must have given the Watsons a lot of benefits, right?”

“Haha, that’s for sure!” Jake said smugly. “The Elite Business Exchange happens only once every three years, and the people invited are all from the top forces of California. The rest aren’t even eligible to participate! The organizer of every session gets to reap a lot of benefits, and since we gave the hosting rights to the Kingstons, the Kingstons will definitely not mistreat us!

“Heh. Although the Watsons are already the top family in San Jose, as long as we get the Kingstons’ support, it’s just a matter of time before we expand into the San Francisco market. Who knows? We might become the fourth most powerful family in California in the future!”

He spoke proudly and behaved arrogantly as if the Watsons were already the fourth most powerful family in California.

After hearing what Jake said, many people here showed looks of shock and envy.

It seemed that this descendant of the Watsons would definitely be able to rise even higher in the future due to the Watsons’ status.

But Lucas revealed a trace of mockery.

Jake kept leveraging the power of the Watsons and talking about how great the Watsons were. But in fact, he couldn’t even enter the Walton Hotel. Reynold had brought a few of the Watsons’ juniors over, but Jake wasn’t among them. This was enough to show that he wasn’t a core member of the Watsons at all.

The fact that he couldn’t even recognize Reynold’s voice meant that he had had very little contact with Reynold. He was basically a distant relative, yet he bragged and threw his weight around, which was ridiculous.

In addition, the incident in the Walton Hotel had just ended a bit ago, and Lucas had issued an order for everyone to keep their lips sealed about it. Thus, Jake wasn’t aware that the Kingstons, whom he revered and hoped to gain the support of, had already become a thing of the past and would be eradicated from San Francisco in another hour.

And it was all done by Lucas, the man in front of him whom he despised.

A trace of anxiety appeared on Charlotte’s face.

If the Watsons really received help from the Kingstons, coupled with the fact that the relationship between the Watsons and the Walkers had always been close, the Watsons’ future would definitely be bright.

Although Lucas was blood-related to the Huttons of DC, he had been expelled from the Huttons twenty years ago. He seemed to have nothing to do with the Huttons over the years, and he wouldn’t be able to get any help from the Huttons.

In Charlotte’s opinion, although Lucas had also received an invitation to the Elite Business Exchange, he was still far inferior to hegemons like the Kingstons and the Walkers of San Francisco. If the Watsons really wanted to deal with Lucas, there was no way he could resist it.

It was also because of her fear and scruples about the Watsons that she had been extremely tolerant of Jake and Estelle’s verbal abuse and insults to her today. She was worried that she might cause trouble for Lucas.

“Lucas, forget it. Why don’t we just go?” Charlotte said softly with a pleading gaze in her eyes.

She really didn’t want to implicate Lucas in this and then have him face the retaliation of the Watsons, the Kingstons, and the Walkers.

As for what Lucas said earlier about having the Watsons’ helmsman come over within 15 minutes, Charlotte didn’t dare to carry too much hope even though she didn’t think Lucas was lying and acting.

Lucas smiled at her comfortingly. “Don’t worry. You’re just like my sister. Since they bullied you, I’ll definitely seek justice for you!”

A warm stream of heat immediately surged in Charlotte’s heart.

She had never had a brother, but Lucas was really protecting her like he was her brother.

“Oh wow, now you’ve become his sister again, huh?” Jake said with a lewd smile. “So, are you his god sister or a ‘sister’?”

He was deliberately implying something lewd.

Estelle began laughing maliciously. “Hahaha, look at how lovey-dovey they are. How disgusting.”

“Shut up!” Lucas glared daggers at them, immediately frightening them into not daring to speak vulgarly again.

“Hmph, continue being tough. I’ll wait here and see what else you can say later!” Jake spit on the ground, moved a chair from the side, and sat opposite Lucas and Charlotte. He stared at them, for fear that they would take the opportunity to run away.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes had passed.

Charlotte was somewhat uneasy, and she repeatedly looked at the entrance of the restaurant, only to see no one here yet.

She clenched her fists tightly.

On the other hand, smug smiles appeared on Jake’s and Estelle’s faces.

It had almost been fifteen minutes since Lucas’s call. But unfortunately, Reynold hadn’t appeared yet.

Jake shook his watch in his hand and said smugly, “Kid, fifteen minutes are up! Didn’t you say that you’d make Reynold Watson appear in fifteen minutes? Where is he now?”

Estelle covered her mouth and laughed coquettishly. “Jake, this punk is just lying! The Watsons have such a high status! How could the helmsman do the bidding of a live-in husband?

“Besides, Jake, you’re from the Watson family. Why would the helmsman come here to reprimand you for an outsider? That actor this punk hired to impersonate Mr. Watson even wanted to make you get on your knees and apologize to this bastard. That’s hilarious!

“Jake, I think you don’t have to show any mercy. Why don’t you make both of them kneel and admit their mistakes to you? They can get up when you’re happy! They were just shooting themselves in the foot by suggesting this idea.. They really deserve it!” Estelle suggested with vicious resentment on her face.
