THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY - Season 1 Episode 21

Lucas stopped looking at those people. Instead, he walked toward Charlotte, reached out to carry Amelia into his arms, and comforted her. “Amelia, everything’s okay now. Don’t be scared. I’ll take you home now.”

“Daddy!” Amelia buried her head in Lucas’s chest and hugged him tightly. Only then did she gradually stop shivering.

Holding Amelia in his chest, Lucas covered her ears with one hand and walked straight toward the gates of the kindergarten.

“Damn it! Are you blind… Ah! ” The bald man leading the team was just about to stop Lucas, but he suddenly shrieked as Jordan sent him flying with a hard kick.

It was followed by continuous cursing and screaming.

Lucas ignored all of them and simply focused on coaxing Amelia, preventing all the uncouth curses from tainting her ears.

From the corner of her eye, Charlotte watched the group of burly tattooed men getting kicked away, secretly frightened. However, she followed closely behind Lucas and only heaved a sigh of relief when they got inside the car.

When she saw Lucas again, she no longer saw him as a good-for-nothing like she used to.

Lucas’s dominance just now, and Jordan, the young man who addressed Lucas respectfully and could beat up so many people… Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update

She was now very curious about what Lucas had been doing during the six years. Why did he seem like a gang leader?

Lucas fastened his safety belt and was just about to start his car when he suddenly thought of something and lowered the car window. He said to Jordan, “Don’t get anyone killed.”

“Yes, Lucas,” answered Jordan, who was having a whale of a time beating them.

Charlotte was speechless. She suddenly felt that he was really scary!

However, Amelia didn’t feel the fear that her aunt was feeling because she was gazing at her dad with admiration and awe. Lucas couldn’t help but scratch her little nose gently when he stopped at a red light.

Soon, they arrived back at the entrance of the Carter residence.

Carrying Amelia in his arms, Lucas alighted. But as soon as he turned around, he met Karen’s angry eyes.

“You actually dare to come back? Do you know how huge of a mess you’ve created, you piece of trash?!” Karen cursed and almost poked Lucas in the face with her finger.

Lucas simply moved backward slightly, lest Karen go overboard and poke Amelia instead.

However, Charlotte was overwhelmed with terror, and she hurriedly grabbed Karen’s finger in fear of her provoking Lucas. “Mom, let’s talk when we’re inside. We’ll talk things over calmly, alright?”

She hurriedly went inside the house, shoving Karen along.

“Talk things over calmly? What’s there to talk about with him calmly?! He’s a troublemaker and a jinx who’s going to cause us to get kicked out! We were doing fine without him. But ever since he returned, he has created so much trouble! If I had known earlier, I’d wish for him to die out there!”

Cheyenne happened to come home at this juncture. Seeing her mother scolding Lucas again, she couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

Amelia had finally gotten to see her father, so she couldn’t tolerate hearing him get scolded. Pouting angrily, she exclaimed, “Daddy’s not going to die! Daddy is awesome! Just now, someone bullied me and Aunt Charlotte and even threatened to hit us, but Daddy saved us!”

Shocked by her words, Cheyenne hurriedly asked, “What happened?”

Karen couldn’t be bothered to continue berating Lucas and instead quickly asked about what happened.

Charlotte told them about everything that happened at the kindergarten before saying with lingering fear, “That couple is too disgusting. Not only did they falsely accuse us, but they even tried to beat us without hesitation. If not for…” She paused and stopped herself from saying ‘good-for-nothing.’ “If Lucas hadn’t arrived in time, I would have been slapped by that fat woman!

“Later, thanks to his friend’s help, we returned safely.”

Karen gritted her teeth again and started to curse at that couple. The scion of the richest family in the county has taken a fancy to my daughter. What would happen if her pretty face was ruined by that fat woman?!

Cheyenne frowned. “Seems like that person has a significant status. Stay at home for the next few days in case they exact revenge on you.”

“No!” Charlotte and Karen opposed in unison.

Karen naturally hated Lucas like she always had and couldn’t wait to kick him out. On the other hand, Charlotte said no because she was afraid of Lucas.

“Mother, what if he encounters a mishap out there?”

“If he dies, so be it. In fact, it’d be even better because you can then marry Seth,” Karen said nonchalantly.

“Mother! Must you force me like this? If you insist, I can’t stay in this family any longer,” Cheyenne said with a look of displeasure.

“Okay, okay. You’re really something. I’ll stop, alright?” Karen glared at Cheyenne angrily.

“He can stay, but we won’t feed any loafers. He has to pay a monthly rent of fifteen hundred dollars excluding utility bills and daily expenses!” Karen demanded, deliberately making things hard for Lucas. If this good-for-nothing can afford fifteen hundred dollars, pigs will fly! By then, he’ll only have himself to blame when I chase him out!

“Sure. It’s settled then!” Lucas agreed immediately with a gleeful expression.

He merely had to pay fifteen hundred dollars for a chance to spend time with his wife and daughter. What a pleasant surprise!

Fearing that Karen would back out, he immediately returned to the car and took out a thick wad of bills from the bag under the backseat.

“There’s fifteen thousand here for half a year’s rent and utilities. I’ll top it up if it’s not enough.”
