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

Chapter 888: Guaranteed Kill

Jace had planned to bring these 100 or so upper management staff and executives of the Stardust Corporation to teach Lucas a lesson. He wanted Lucas to know that even though he was now the chairman of the Stardust Corporation, Jace still called the shots!

But Jace didn’t expect that things would suddenly develop to this point. Not only had he failed to deter Lucas, but even the people who had turned to him were arrested.

Jace was naturally clear about what these people had done, especially during the half a year that Lucas was chairman of the Stardust Corporation. Jace was incredibly annoyed and had instructed these people to do things for him while also allowing them to reap some benefits from the corporation.

Thus, for these people taken away for investigation, their charges were real, and there was no way they could shirk the responsibility.

It would be basically impossible to get them out of jail.

In other words, from today onward, the subordinates that the Huttons used to control the Stardust Corporation would all be gone, and he would completely lose control of the Stardust Corporation.

How could he tolerate this?

In particular, why he thought that these matters were likely the doing of his half-brother, Lucas, who would also take control of the Stardust Corporation in the future, Jace wished he could charge forward and tear him into shreds!

But at the critical point of his eruption, Jace relied on his willpower to keep thinking that he was the true successor of the Huttons and tried his best to suppress his fury.

“Hah, let’s wait and see!” Jace glared at Lucas and Flynn before striding away from the conference room.

Only after Jace vanished behind the door and Flynn felt the intense aura leaving slowly did he completely relax.

Facing Jace, the successor of the Huttons, Flynn had been so nervous that he could hardly breathe.

But what Jace said before leaving meant that he had suffered an enormous loss today and wouldn’t take it lying down.

However, this wasn’t something Flynn should consider now.

“Meeting adjourned!” He stood up and said to the remaining dozen or so frightened mid-level managers and left in the conference room.

...

When Flynn brought Lucas back to the general manager’s office, he immediately slumped onto his chair, picked up the glass on the table, and downed the entire glass of iced water.

Then he took two breaths and finally felt alive again.

Sensing Lucas looking at him, Flynn felt awkward and hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Lucas. I… I’ve embarrassed you a little. I need to improve my mental fortitude.”

Lucas smiled. “No, you’ve done a good job, even better than I expected. You managed to withstand the pressure of Jace Hutton and so many executives without needing me to come forward personally.”

Flynn said guiltily, “It was all thanks to you for sitting next to me, Lucas. It gave me a lot of courage. And what happened afterward was because you were long prepared. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have been able to deal with them.”

Lucas smiled without saying anything else.

Indeed, the sudden arrival of the officials and the evidence of those people’s crimes had all been prepared by Lucas.

It had something to do with Richard Morris, the deputy general manager of the Stardust Corporation whom Lucas and Jordan had frightened previously.

Because Richard was Jace’s most trusted subordinate, the person who delivered the benefits to Jace, and a veteran employee who had worked in the Stardust Corporation for over a decade, he had the most information.

Thus, Lucas had sent Jordan to look for Richard to coerce and tempt him. Richard immediately produced all the evidence of those people’s crimes.

The officials who led the team were naturally reliable people that Lucas had arranged to ensure that they wouldn’t reveal any information to Jace in advance. Thus, they were able to catch Jace and the others off guard and got rid of them in one fell swoop.

...

“Damn it! Bastard! If I had known this would happen, I should have tried my best to kill and bury him forever in Orange County!”

“Damn it! How dare he arrest all the people working for me? He even snatched away my belongings. I won’t let him off!”

In a Rolls-Royce that had just left the entrance of the Stardust Corporation, Jace’s face was distorted from anger, no longer looking as composed as he was when he was trying to control his emotions in the conference room.

Now, he was cursing incessantly with a murderous gaze in his eyes, wishing he could strangle Lucas to death.

A toned bodyguard sitting in the front passenger seat had his gaze flicker before suddenly saying, “Mr. Hutton, do you want me to do it?”

Jace took several deep breaths and gradually suppressed the immense desire for revenge. He looked at the bodyguard in front of him and said softly, “Bones of Steel, you should know his identity. If you mess up and my father finds out, I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you what your fate will be. In fact, even I will be implicated.

“In that case, are you confident of success?”

Jace looked into the bodyguard’s eyes, noticing every single emotion showing in them.

Bones of Steel nodded. “I won’t mess up for your sake. I will definitely kill him!”

Jace stared at Bones of Steel, and his expression became more and more cruel. “Okay. I’ll wait for good news from you then! Don’t disappoint me!”

“Yes, Mr. Jace!” Bones of Steel assured in a deep voice.

...

Meanwhile, Lucas stayed in the Stardust Corporation headquarters for a while to hear Flynn’s report on his recent progress and plans for stabilizing the company.

The parasites and obstacles that the Huttons left the company had already been eliminated. Although it would cause turbulence, the Stardust Corporation had been standing strong in DC for years and wouldn’t be greatly affected by these matters.

Under Flynn’s management and coordination, Lucas believed that it wouldn’t take long for the situation of the Stardust Corporation to stabilize. Then it would return to its peak and become even grander.

Since Lucas had chosen to let Flynn take over the Stardust Corporation headquarters in DC for him, it meant that he had great confidence in his abilities.

In the afternoon, Lucas received a call from Alexis. She said excitedly, “Lucas, I passed the interview. From now on, I’m an employee of the Stardust Corporation!”
