THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY - Season 1 Episode 80

Since Cheyenne had spoken up, Lucas would naturally give in on her account.

Besides, he didn’t necessarily need the Douglas family to disappear completely from Orange County.

Lucas said coldly, “If not for my wife’s kindhearted nature, I definitely wouldn’t have spared your family. However, you must remember that if you provoke my family and me or commit those heinous acts again, your family can just wait to perish!”

Chris bowed repeatedly and thanked him. “Thank you for your magnanimity. We will remember your kindness!”

Lucas looked at Chris. “Aren’t you going to leave?”

“Yes, we will leave immediately!” Chris Douglas instructed his men to take Gordon, who was on the stretcher, and left in a hurry.

After glancing at Dominic and the others, Lucas left with Cheyenne.

The Carters were left dumbfounded.

Dominic couldn’t believe that Lucas, whom he thought was a good-for-nothing and had kicked out of the family, could actually speak to Chris Douglas so impolitely and even make him be so afraid and subservient toward him.

At this moment, Scarlet stared at the backs of Cheyenne and Lucas, who had gone far, and suddenly said in disdain, “Hmph, how dare that loser continue to pretend and deceive the Douglas family? Once they find out the truth, they won’t let him off!”

Dominic frowned. “What do you mean?”

Scarlet humphed coldly. “Lucas is a loser who doesn’t even have a job. How could he possibly make the Douglases stoop so low and apologize to him? He must have used someone else’s identity!”

Dominic nodded. He would rather accept this reason than believe that the loser Lucas was actually that capable.

“I was just saying that they must have made a mistake just now. The person they want to apologize to should be Aston, right?!” Scarlet turned to look at Aston and blinked.

Aston smiled calmly. “Some time ago, we did have a conflict with them. But I don’t know if they’ve made a mistake or were really planning to apologize to Mr. Gray today.”

Aston didn’t confirm anything or admit that Chris was here to apologize to him. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update

In fact, the Brookes did not have any business dealings with the Douglases at all, and they had never offended him either. However, he decided to play along since this silly woman had already said so.

“I knew it!” Scarlet exclaimed happily when she heard Aston’s words, which vaguely seemed to be admittance. “Hmph, Chris Douglas actually didn’t appreciate it and made his subordinate slap me. When he realizes his mistake later and comes to apologize to you, you mustn’t forgive them easily!”

Despite finding it amusing, Aston stayed composed and said indignantly, “Okay. When they come, I will make them apologize to you, Scarlet.”

Scarlet burst with joy. This means that Aston thinks I’m someone important!

Dominic was extremely satisfied too. Although the Brookes were from another county, there was no reason to limit business to just one county.

For example, Aston Brooke was now in Orange County to cooperate with the Carters, and he could even obtain the apology of a top family in the county. Clearly, the Brookes had great potential for development.

If the Carters could form ties with the Brookes, their future development would become much better!

Aston Brooke is a nice young man. If Scarlet marries him, we’ll be in-laws, and our ties will be even stronger!

As Dominic thought of this, his impression of Aston got even better. He said to Scarlet, “Scarlet, don’t bother with anything else for the next few days and just focus on accompanying Aston. Lead him around the county.”

Scarlet naturally agreed happily.

“That’ll be troublesome.” Aston thanked him politely, but he was well aware of what thoughts they harbored. Hah, since they took the initiative to come to me, I won’t stand on ceremony.

Meanwhile, Lucas was driving Cheyenne back to the Brilliance Corporation.

However, Cheyenne was silent along the way, and she looked extremely upset, making Lucas’s heart ache.

But that was a thorn in Cheyenne’s heart, and Lucas couldn’t counsel her or anything. He could only let her get over it on her own and understand that it wasn’t worth having any negative emotions because of the Carters at all, much less sadness or misery.

Lucas parked his car outside the entrance of the Brilliance Corporation. After seeing Cheyenne enter the office, he picked up his phone and called Flynn Davis to say a few words to him.

The fact that Aston Brooke had been staring at Cheyenne just now and seemed to be interested made Lucas feel rather worried.

Of course, what he was worried about was Cheyenne’s safety and security. If he were to be just like Seth Miller, Cheyenne would be embroiled in even more trouble.

Soon, Davis returned the call. “Mr. Gray, we’ve checked it. That person is Aston Brooke, who is from a top family in another county. They own several businesses, the largest of which is the Solar Corporation. Estelle Brooke, whom we met in Lion Restaurant, is Aston Brooke’s sister.”

When Davis said this, Lucas immediately remembered that vile couple, Estelle Brooke and her husband, Declan Adams.

“I don’t want to see any of the Brookes’ businesses in Orange County. Do as you deem fit,” Lucas said calmly into the phone.

“Yes, Mr. Gray!” Davis immediately agreed.

With the power of the Stardust Corporation in Orange County today, he didn’t have to take a family from another county seriously. As long as they released some news, the Brookes would naturally be unable to find any decent business partners in Orange County.

Lucas was about to hang up when he suddenly remembered one more thing. “By the way, one more thing. Spare the Douglases, but do what you should for the offenses they committed.”

“Okay. I know, Mr. Gray. I’ll carry out your instructions accordingly,” Davis said respectfully.

…

Chris Douglas took Gordon Douglas, who had broken legs and was lying on the stretcher, to the hospital instead of heading straight home.

“After all, your legs are severely injured. You need to recuperate well in the hospital for a while.” After completing the administrative procedures in the hospital, Chris said these words to Gordon with a nonchalant expression.

“Hmph, you must be very smug now! I made a mistake and got beaten, yet you acted all capable and competent in front of Dad. Do you think you can undermine me just by doing that?” Gordon glared at Chris with a gloomy gaze.

“Haha, you’re reading too much into things.” Chris chuckled coldly and turned around to leave.

“Hey! Chris Douglas, stop right there!”

Behind him, Gordon yelled loudly, but Chris didn’t even turn around as his eyes gleamed peculiarly. This good-for-nothing Gordon Douglas will soon hold no value. There’s no point in holding it against someone who’s about to die.
