The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

Chapter 409: What’s The Big Deal?

Kenneth’s tone was extremely threatening.

The $500,000 check was meant as a fee to make Lucas leave Cheyenne and absolutely wasn’t a congratulatory gift for them.

Yet Lucas made up that story and took his money righteously. Does he think he can take me for a ride like I’m a fool? He can dream on!

After seeing Kenneth’s expression, Cheyenne felt a little worried.

After all, Kenneth was the scion of the Parker family, which had an extremely high status in LA now.
It wouldn’t be worth it to offend the Parkers for $500,000.

Besides, she and Lucas didn’t need that money anyway, so she knew that he had accepted it merely for the sake of spiting Kenneth.

“Hubby, why don’t we just return the check to him?!” Cheyenne asked softly while tugging at the corner of Lucas’s shirt and placing the check in his hand.

She still wanted to try her best to solve this issue and avoid getting into a conflict with these people.

Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Kenneth.
“Were you just threatening me?”

Kenneth raised his head proudly and laughed out loud.
“Hah, it seems that you’re not stupid! Since you’ve understood what I mean, you should know what to do, right?”

He leaned back in his chair languidly while rubbing his right thumb and index finger against each other, obviously urging Lucas to hurry up and return the check to him.

But to everyone’s surprise, not only did Lucas not return the check, but he even folded it in half and stuffed it straight into his pocket.

“You!” Kenneth’s expression immediately turned gloomy.
It seemed that Lucas intended to defy him and not return the check.

Lucas said nonchalantly, “I’m afraid you guys still don’t know that I don’t like it when others are rude to me.
If you want to take this check back, you’d better talk to me nicely.
This five hundred thousand dollars means nothing to me, but if you put on airs in front of me and try to threaten me again, I’m sorry, but you’re going to be disappointed.”

Kenneth’s face immediately turned a little pale.

Lucas was simply a tough nut to crack.
Kenneth initially thought that Lucas was just a good-for-nothing who would be really easy to deal with, but he didn’t expect to end up being at a loss for what to do about him, who refused to give in no matter what.

At this moment, Kenneth suddenly began to have some doubts about the validity of the information that Nikki had given him. Is this composed and relaxed person in front of me really the worthless punk who only sponges off women like Nikki Heron said?

He initially thought that as long as he showed his dominance and prowess as the scion of the Parkers in front of a lowlife like Lucas, the latter would definitely be frightened out of his wits and obediently let him have Cheyenne.

But things were completely different from what he had expected.

Lucas Gray is either a fool who is ignorantly brave, or he totally doesn’t know the power that the Parkers command in LA.

After all, Cheyenne’s good-for-nothing husband has been living in Orange County and doesn’t have broad horizons.
He probably doesn’t even know what the consequences for offending a top family like mine will be.

“Lucas Gray, do you know what status my family has in LA?” Kenneth narrowed his eyes and asked to threaten him while also testing the waters.

Without even raising his eyebrows, Lucas retorted indifferently, “Isn’t it just a very ordinary family? Do you think the Parkers are really such a big deal?”

In the eyes of Kenneth, Nikki, and the surrounding scions of rich families in LA, Lucas was naturally being ignorant and incredibly arrogant.

But Lucas didn’t even regard the eight wealthiest families of DC as powerful figures, let alone the Parker family, which was just an extremely ordinary family to him.
Compared to the Brookes, they were even slightly inferior.
As long as Lucas wanted to, he would be able to destroy eighteen of such insignificant families like the Parkers with a mere lift of his finger.

“Hah! How dare you say that the Parkers are just an ordinary family? You good-for-nothing, it seems you’re really clueless!”

“Any random person in LA can tell you how prestigious the Parkers are in LA.
But since you’re just a lowlife at the bottom of society, I’m afraid all you do is sponge off your wife all day.
It’s no wonder that you’re ignorant of the Parkers!”

“Miss Heron, it seems that your cousin’s good-for-nothing husband isn’t aware of the Parkers’ status.
Why don’t you tell him properly what the consequences of offending the Parkers are!”

Several wealthy scions sneered and mocked.

Nikki glanced at Lucas with contempt.
“Hmph, it seems that I’ve really overestimated him.
He doesn’t even know the power of the esteemed Parker family.
It’s no wonder that this punk spoke so ignorantly to Kenneth with such a rude tone!’

With a disdainful snort, Nikki continued, “Well, let me tell you! Now in all of LA, there are only two families at the top.
One is the Owen family, and the other is the Parker family, to which Kenneth belongs! He’s from the top family in this city.
Who would dare to disrespect the Parkers?

“Besides, Kenneth is also the one his grandfather values the most and has set as the successor! So it’s your greatest honor that Kenneth is being kind enough to be willing to speak to you! Otherwise, how could a nobody like you have the opportunity to meet the future helmsman of the Parkers?”

Nikki finished speaking delightfully with conceit.
Each and every sentence she said was flattering Kenneth and putting Lucas down endlessly.

She thought that since she had already made it so clear to Lucas, he should be able to understand the world of difference between him and Kenneth!

But Lucas didn’t waver in the slightest and merely sneered as if he had heard a joke. Indeed, they’re just like frogs in a well who think they’re so impressive.
How ridiculous.

Seeing Lucas still not taking the Parkers seriously, Kenneth was even more furious.

His friends around him looked just as disappointed because they had been trying to teach him a lesson to show him what they were made of.

Bang!

Suddenly, someone pushed the door open from outside with great force.

A young man in his mid-twenties slowly entered.

Kenneth and his friends were momentarily stunned by this unexpected situation and didn’t speak for a while.

“Who… who are you guys? Why are you in our private room?” The drunkard began accusing them before Kenneth and the others could speak.

“Damn it.
Who is this person? You’ve been drinking too much, and you must have gone to the wrong room in a drunken stupor.
This is our private room, not yours.
Hurry up and get lost!” A wealthy scion at the door named Wayne immediately frowned in displeasure.

The drunkard raised his head scornfully and was about to lash out at them, but he suddenly saw Nikki, who was sitting near the door.

Nikki had deliberately dolled herself up and put on a sexy skin-tight bustier short dress that revealed her neck and a large part of her chest because she was going to have dinner with Kenneth and his friends.

“Wow, there’s a hot chick here.
You’re quite pretty.
Come on, let me touch you!” With a grotesquely indecent expression on his face, the drunkard reached his hand out to grope Nikki’s chest.
