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

1213 Crisis

They were all Ashley’s former college classmates, and most of them were from third or fourth-tier families in DC. Although they were well off, they all had to look up to the eight top families of DC.

Now, the helmsman of the Williams had actually pledged allegiance to Lucas and acknowledged him as his master. Didn’t this mean that Lucas’s current status was far superior to that of the helmsmen of the eight top families of DC?

Recalling that they had mocked this terrifying big shot without restraint, many people were full of regret, and cold sweat drenched their backs.

A few of them were extremely pale and could barely stand, almost losing their balance.

They were terrified!

They were afraid that Lucas would settle scores with them for offending him!

Lucas suddenly looked at Peter, who was on the floor. “What do you have to say now?”

With his head hung low, Peter gritted his teeth and barely concealed the overflowing hatred in his eyes.

He was now immensely resentful!

Peter hated Vanessa for abandoning him during this crisis and disregarding his life and death despite the fact that they were married.

Peter really hated Rayson, his father-in-law. Although Rayson was the helmsman of the Williams, he was so incompetent and useless. Not only couldn’t he suppress the person Ashley brought, but he was as docile as a dog in front of this man!

The helmsman of a prestigious family was actually so incompetent that he couldn’t even save his son-in-law!

Peter also hated his surrounding classmates. When he was still glorious, they had put him on a pedestal and done everything to flatter him. But as soon as he was in trouble, they immediately shunned him like the plague and put all the blame on him. They were so quick to draw a line between them!

Damn these scoundrels. When I rise to power again, I won’t let off any of them who kicked me when I was down!

But the people Peter hated the most were Ashley and Lucas.

Through his own hard work and efforts, he had obtained a status that most people couldn’t reach even after working hard all their lives. He had married the only daughter of the Williams’ helmsman and was about to become the general manager of the Williams Corporation. In the future, he would even be in charge of the entire Williams family.

But all of this was ruined because of Ashley and Lucas!

This wasn’t all. Given Lucas’s attitude, he might really die here today!

Peter definitely couldn’t accept such an outcome!

Rayson and Vanessa had knelt in front of Lucas just now, but he didn’t even let them off. He wanted all of the Williams’ assets as compensation.

What about Peter then?

Since he had nothing to his name now, what could he use to save his life?

Peter’s eyes were full of despair, and eventually, there was a trace of twisted mania.

He was now kneeling in front of Ashley. The distance between them was less than a meter.

At such a short distance, this bitch will definitely die! Peter decided that even if he died, he had to drag her with him to hell!

“You shameless bitch, you deserve to die for ruining my life!” Peter suddenly pulled out a shiny dagger from his waist pocket and stabbed it straight toward Ashley’s neck!

His action was extremely sudden, and Ashley was only a meter away from him. She didn’t expect that he had hidden a dagger and suddenly attacked her!

Ashley’s pupils constricted, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the dagger appeared in front of her almost instantly.

There was no time for her to react!

Staring at the shiny dagger in front of her, Ashley turned deathly pale and could only watch it get closer and closer to her. Am I really going to die here…

To make matters worse, she was about to die at the hands of the man she used to love the most.

Is this my retribution for being blind for years? Various thoughts flashed through Ashley’s mind.

At the same time, regret welled up in her heart.

She really regretted it!

If she had known earlier that Peter was a scumbag who was worse than a beast, she definitely wouldn’t have wasted years with him. She would have never been depressed over him and attempted suicide multiple times, causing her family to worry about her.

As soon as she thought of her family, she remembered that she hadn’t said goodbye to her mother and brother and told them that she had fallen in love with the wrong man. She wanted to tell them to take care of themselves…

She hadn’t had time to tell Lucas her true feelings…

She didn’t want to die so young!

Ashley closed her eyes in despair, and two streams of tears slid down her face.

“Watch out!!”

“Ah!”

“It’s a dagger!”

…

Terrified and panicked shouts filled the room. Seeing Peter’s daring action of wanting to stab Ashley in the neck, everyone else in the room screamed.

But Peter was too close to Ashley, and they were all stunned beyond words. They didn’t dare to move at all and could only watch Peter’s dagger stabbing toward Ashley’s slender neck.

Although they didn’t have a strong friendship with Ashley, not everyone could face murder calmly!

Bang!

Just as the dagger was about to pierce Ashley’s neck, Peter’s body was suddenly thrown flying backward. With a bang, he slammed into the wall and slid to the floor, no longer able to move.

During the critical moment, Lucas had kicked Peter in the chest and sent him flying.

His body, which weighed over 170 pounds, had been sent flying a great distance, and he was now in a state worse than death. The power of Lucas’s kick stunned everyone in the private room!

Surely that terrifying kick didn’t kill Peter, right?

Ashley’s former classmates in the room were mostly ordinary people, so Lucas’s horrifying kick completely deterred them, making them too terrified to speak.

Even Rayson, who had already witnessed Lucas’s terrifying abilities, was extremely nervous at this moment.

Lucas’s martial arts skills were really terrifying!

Most people wouldn’t be able to withstand a kick from him!

Ashley thought that she was definitely going to die, but she didn’t feel any pain for a long time. Moreover, she had heard two unusual sounds, so she opened her eyes in fear.

The dagger Peter wielded in front of her had disappeared, and Ashley saw his body lying motionlessly on the floor beside the wall ten meters away. She didn’t know if he was alive or not.

“This…” Ashley was astonished.

Without a doubt, she didn’t die. And Peter, who wanted to kill her, had already been handled!

The person who did it was definitely Lucas, who was standing beside her!

“Lu-Lucas!” Fear and joy swept through Ashley as she leaped toward Lucas, hugged him tightly, and burst into tears. “Lucas! I thought… I thought I was going to die! I was so scared!”
