THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY - Season 3 Episode 52

When Lena heard someone call her, she squinted a little to glance at the young man before closing her eyes again immediately. She muttered, “Lucas, let’s hurry and head back home!”

The young man’s expression instantly became hostile.

One reason was that Lena was actually lying so intimately in the arms of another man and completely ignoring him!

The second was that she even told this man to hurry and head back home.

Go home?! What home? Whose home?!

Immediately enraged and full of fury, the young man walked over and grabbed Lena’s arm.

“Lena, I’m Tristan Parker! Don’t you recognize me?” the young man said, refusing to give up.

Tristan Parker… Hearing his name, Lucas pursed his lips.

Lena cursed at him in his head. Her plan was going well at first, but Tristan just had to interfere and sabotage her plan. Besides, Tristan was someone she utterly detested.

But she had to pretend as if she just recognized him and spoke as if she had only come to a realization now. “Oh, it’s you, Tristan. Are you here for lunch too? Go ahead. We’re going home! Bye!”

Then Lena dragged Lucas away in a desperate attempt to leave.

“Wait a minute!” But Tristan held onto Lena’s wrist and refused to let go. Pointing his finger at Lucas, he questioned, “Who is this man?”

Lena shook his hand off in annoyance. “He’s my friend. It’s none of your business who he is!”

“Hmph. How is it none of my business? You are my fiancée, yet you are hugging another man in public. Am I in no place to question you?”

Tristan was incredibly furious as he glared daggers at Lucas. “How dare you touch my woman? Hurry up and take your filthy hands off her!”

Lena was enraged, and she seemed to sober up in an instant. “Who is your fiancée? Did I agree to your proposal?! Stop barking around here like a mad dog. If you want to throw your weight around, go home!”

She glowered at Tristan, threw his hand off, and started walking away.

“Stop! Don’t go!” Furious, Tristan stepped forward to stop the both of them.

He glanced at Lena with an affectionate gaze containing a trace of infatuation.

Lena was gorgeous to begin with, and the exquisite makeup she had put a lot of effort into putting on, as well as the rosiness on her face due to her tipsiness, made her look even more delicate and alluring.

Tristan had carried a torch for Lena since he was young, and he had been pestering his father to arrange for him to marry her. But when he grew up and was about to reach marriageable age, she decided to stay abroad all year round, so it was hard for him to meet her often.

Now that Lena was finally back, Tristan actually chanced upon her hugging another man’s arm and behaving intimately with him. Moreover, she was giving him the cold shoulder too. How could he accept this? This scoundrel who popped up out of nowhere must have deliberately seduced Lena!

“Punk, let me tell you, Lena is my woman. Forget about taking her away! Hurry up and get the hell away from her!” Tristan glared at Lucas with wide eyes.

“…” Lucas was quite speechless at this moment.

He had nothing to do with either of them, but he had somehow been put in an awkward spot.

Seeing Tristan putting the blame on Lucas, Lena naturally couldn’t stand it any longer. She stepped forward, stood in front of Lucas to shield him, and exclaimed loudly, “I’ve already said I have nothing to do with you at all. It’s up to me to decide who I want to befriend. It’s none of your business!’

Tristan’s face instantly paled before reddening again. Any man would feel embarrassed to have his fiancée lash out at him and draw a clear line between them in public.

He didn’t want to vent his anger on Lena, but he had already thought of Lucas as the cause of his humiliation.

“Hmph, you’re just trying to get together with Lena for her money, aren’t you? Come on. You want money, right? I’ll give it to you!”

While speaking, Tristan took out a bank card from his pocket and threw it at Lucas. “There are tens of thousands of dollars in here. I’ll give it all to you! Take the money and vanish!”

After hitting Lucas’s chest, the light and thin bank card bounced off it and landed on the ground, causing it to be stained with some dust.

Tristan stood still in an overbearing manner and said condescendingly, “What are you waiting for? Pick it up.”

But he was destined to be disappointed.

Of course, Lucas wouldn’t want that card, let alone bend over to pick it up.

“Enough!” Incredibly angered by Tristan’s actions, with which he intended to humiliate Lucas, Lena trembled in pique and hollered, “Tristan Parker, I don’t want to see you again. Get lost!”

With anger boiling within him, Tristan reached his hand out and pointed at Lucas. “Lena, are you falling out with me for this outsider? You even told me to get lost?”

“He’s not an outsider. He’s my friend. How many times do I have to tell you?! I’ve also told you several times that I don’t like you at all, and I don’t want to marry you, so please stop claiming to be my fiancé and coming to pester me!”

Lena was really livid. Not only had her plan been ruined, but Tristan even accused Lucas time and time again, so she was quite harsh with her words.

When Tristan heard her heartless words, his pride suffered a massive blow, and his face turned gloomy with resentment. “Fine, you’ve decided to betray me for this gigolo, huh? You bitch!”

Tristan raised his hand to slap Lena’s face unrelentingly.

Lena’s eyes widened immediately. She didn’t expect Tristan, who often acted like a gentlemanly and noble scion, would suddenly hit her!

His usually handsome face suddenly distorted into a hideous grimace as well!

Stunned, Lena stood rooted to the ground and stared at the approaching hand that she couldn’t dodge!

“Enough!”

Just before the slap was about to land on Lena’s face, a strong and powerful hand tightly grabbed Tristan’s wrist, making it impossible for him to move.

Lucas despised men like him who resorted to violence after being turned down by women.

“Damn it, you dog. Hurry up and let go of me!” Tristan yelled furiously and tried to pull his hand back from Lucas’s hand but to no avail because of how strong Lucas was.

He was struggling so hard that the veins on his forehead began bulging.

“I don’t care what kind of conflict there is between you and Lena, but I just want to tell you that she’s just my wife’s close friend and that there’s no relationship beyond this between us. You guys settle your own affairs and don’t get me involved. But of course, I won’t allow you to hit someone in front of me.”

After saying these words indifferently, Lucas loosened his grip on Tristan’s hand.

Lena’s eyes dimmed when she heard Lucas say that there was nothing between them. Her heart was full of immense disappointment.

But thinking that it was only their second meeting today, she felt that it was normal for Lucas not to have any special feelings for her. There’s plenty of time in the future!

“Your wife’s close friend?” After thinking about it, Tristan suddenly said, “Is your wife Cheyenne Carter? Are you that infamous good-for-nothing husband?”
