THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY - Season 1 Episode 17

Cheyenne could no longer suppress the endless grievances and humiliation in her heart as two streams of tears rolled down her beautiful face.

Unfazed, Dominic glanced at her indifferently and made up his mind. “It’s settled then. Divorce him by the end of today, and I’ll get someone to visit the Millers tomorrow.”

“Who said that it’s settled? You people have no place to interfere in the affairs between me and my wife!” A cold and sharp voice sounded, followed by a tall, burly man emitting an icy cold aura pushing open the door of the conference room and walking straight in.

“Who is this man?”

“I don’t know him. Why did he barge in?”

Cheyenne looked up, and her jaw dropped in disbelief the instant she got a clear look at the person who entered. “Lucas? W-why are you here?”

Everyone watched in shock as Lucas walked up to Cheyenne and wiped away the tears on her face.

“It’s okay. No one can force you to do anything you don’t want to do.”

In a daze, Cheyenne stared blankly at Lucas’s face.

He sounded incredibly confident and firm, as if no one could bully Cheyenne as long as he was by her side.

This made Cheyenne, who had always been facing mockery and taking the blame alone, feel some ripples in her heart.

Having been contradicted, Dominic looked extremely furious.

The younger generation of the Carters didn’t have the guts to do it, let alone a random stranger!

With a stern look in his eyes, he shouted, “Are all the security officers dead? Why did they let some Tom, Dick, or Harry in?! Hurry up and get this person out of here!”

Bryce rolled his eyes. “Grandpa, this is Cheyenne’s good-for-nothing husband who just returned.”

Dominic squinted and sized Lucas up.

He had a vague memory of Lucas, who used to be penniless. In his opinion, Lucas still seemed as poor as ever, even though many years had passed. Just like before, he still didn’t have a decent piece of clothing.

Disapproving of the fact that Lucas only had eyes for Cheyenne and had been ignoring him, the esteemed patriarch of the Carter family, as soon as he entered, Dominic thought, What a scoundrel indeed. He’s so ill-mannered. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update

He looked at the two of them with growing displeasure in his eyes.

Seeing the anger on his grandfather’s face, Bryce hurriedly took the chance to rub it in. “Cheyenne, you ignored Grandpa’s words and even instigated your loser husband to barge into the conference room as and when he pleases. He even openly defied Grandpa’s decision. If you have something against us, just say so. You don’t have to get up to these tricks.”

Bryce was generally incompetent, but he was an expert at sowing discord.

Cheyenne hurriedly explained, “Grandpa, I really didn’t know he would come.” She turned her head to look at Lucas and barked furiously, “Who told you to come here? Hurry up and leave!”

She wasn’t being insensitive and was actually well aware that Lucas was speaking up for her. But his presence would only anger Dominic further.

Glancing askance at them in disgust, Dominic said, “Enough. Stop putting on an act in front of me. I don’t care what you guys really think. Anyway, I’ve already decided. Get a divorce, and you, marry into the Miller family.”

After pointing at Cheyenne, he pointed his finger at Lucas and ordered, “You, get lost!”

Cheyenne’s face turned pale. She mustered her courage to speak, but before she could, Lucas had already retorted, “I said, no one can make arrangements for us. You don’t have a say in this.”

Dominic was so infuriated that he sprung up abruptly with exasperation all over his face.

It was his first time being contradicted twice by a junior who, to make matters worse, was a penniless good-for-nothing!

“Okay, great!” Dominic laughed mirthlessly and hollered angrily. “Seems like I’m too nice. That’s why you youngsters don’t respect me or take me seriously at all!

“You’re just a loser. You only got into the Carter family by sleeping with a woman. If not for you shameless people, the Carters would have developed greatly and become a top-tier family in Orange County! Yet you still have the guts to talk back to me so boldly!”

As though she had been struck by thunder, Cheyenne turned pale and almost lost her balance after being scolded and humiliated by her kin, whom she had always respected.

With an icy cold gaze in his eyes, Lucas stared at Dominic’s face, which was twisted into an angry grimace. “Aren’t you the one who knows best about the truth of that incident? I’m not as shameless as someone who’s full of lust and yet puts on airs!”

After he learned the truth from Jordan last night, he was exasperated!

The scandal that tarnished Cheyenne’s reputation turned out to be a scheme hatched by the Carters, all for the sake of snatching the Brilliance Corporation away from her!

Their shamelessness and viciousness that spurred them to resort to such underhanded means were truly appalling!

Yet Dominic Carter still had the cheek to berate the victims self-righteously. Such a shameless old man!

If not for Cheyenne’s inability to accept the truth, he would have long exposed their true colors.

“You!” Dominic pointed at Lucas, his fingers trembling violently due to his extreme anger and the shock of having his secret exposed. A moment later, he fell backward.

“Grandpa!” Overwhelmed with shock, Cheyenne frantically wanted to dash over, only to be pushed away forcefully by Bryce.

“Get out of the way!” Bryce held Dominic and glowered at Cheyenne menacingly. “Grandpa was provoked by you! If anything happens to him, just wait to face your death!”
