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

Chapter 341: Scene in the Video

Preston felt the pores on his back instantly expanding and cold sweat profusely gushing out of them.

But he still clenched his jaw and exclaimed, “No, I really haven’t had any contact with them! I swear! If they do contact me, I’ll definitely inform you immediately!”

Lucas smiled and suddenly said, “Okay, got it. You may leave now!”

Feeling as if he had been spared from severe punishment, Preston hurriedly brought his bodyguards, Franco, and Franco’s underlings away from the warehouse.

William witnessed everything from the side, and apart from utter astonishment, all that remained in his heart was a bunch of complicated emotions that he couldn’t put into words.

He thought of the times that he had lashed out at Lucas and called him a freeloading good-for-nothing when Lucas had just returned to Orange County a few months ago. Back then, he had even berated Lucas for being a disgrace to the Carters and even wanted him to divorce Cheyenne.

But the many incidents that happened afterward made him change his opinion of Lucas again and again before finally discovering that his son-in-law was actually so capable.

The fact that Preston Taylor had been so subservient and polite to Lucas today caused William’s feelings about Lucas to become even more complicated. What other surprising things are there about Lucas that I’m not aware of yet?

Meanwhile, Louis looked at Lucas respectfully. Their chairman was too impressive!

Not only was Lucas’s status so superior that even a Taylor had to be cautious and polite when speaking to him, but his combat skills were also extraordinary. Although he was slim and tall with an ordinary figure, he could defeat a bunch of gangsters armed with iron rods in just an instant. Even the gangsters’ boss, Charlie Franco, who was touted to be extremely impressive at fighting, was weak and helpless when facing Lucas!

Louis felt that Lucas didn’t seem to be someone who existed in real life at all because he was too powerful and perfect!

At this moment, Lucas wasn’t aware that he had just gained a new fan who was full of awe for him because of his actions just now.

Seeing that everything had been settled, Lucas didn’t stay any longer and simply said to William, “I’ll leave the rest to you. I’ll get going now. If something like this happens again, call me immediately!”

William’s face was a little flushed at this point. He initially thought that he could solve this matter with his own abilities and minimize the losses incurred by the company. But he didn’t expect to still have to rely on Lucas to settle it.

“Okay, I know what to do. Go ahead and get busy with your own matters!” William hurriedly said.

As soon as Lucas left, Louis darted toward William excitedly and asked curiously, “Mr. Carter, who exactly is Mr. Gray? He’s so impressive and powerful. Even Preston Taylor was so subservient toward him! Also, Mr. Gray’s combat skills...”

William interrupted Louis and said in a deep, cold voice, “Mr. Gray doesn’t like others prying into his affairs, so just remember to do your job well and stay out of other matters!”

He seemed to be warning Louis.

Lucas had never made his identity public, and even his closest family members, such as William and Cheyenne, had only just learned of his true identity recently. So William naturally knew that Lucas wasn’t willing to let others know who he was.

Louis smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said awkwardly, “I-I was just asking a casual question. I don’t mean anything else!”

At this moment, Lucas was leaving in his car and on the phone with someone. “Keep close tabs on Preston Taylor and the other direct descendants of the Taylor family. See if there’s anything strange about them lately, especially if they’ve made any contact with suspicious people in secretive locations!”

“Yes, Lucas!”

——

At this moment, in the home of the Wallaces, one of the four most powerful families of Orange County...

Due to Liam Wallace’s demise, all the Wallaces were mourning, and the atmosphere in their home was somber and melancholic.

Liam’s funeral was held in the main hall on the first floor of the villa in front. Liam was lying inside his coffin placed in the middle of the hall, surrounded by numerous wreaths of white flowers.

All the Wallaces had gathered in the villa in the middle of the manor, which belonged to Pierre Wallace, who was now frowning with a sullen expression on his face.

His eldest son, Bryant, who was also Liam’s father, walked up to him and said with reddened eyes, “Dad, I’ve already had someone investigate this matter. Liam was indeed killed by that young man Lucas Gray!”

A strong killing intent suddenly emerged from Pierre’s eyes that were gradually turning turbid. “How dare he kill my grandson? I must make him pay for it with his life!”

Pierre’s eyes were wide open and full of fury, and resentment was brimming all over his menacing face.

Not only did Lucas kill Liam, but he had also insulted the Wallaces by doing so, and that was something that Pierre could never tolerate! Anyone who offended the Wallaces would have to bear the consequences for their actions!

“Dad, no one wants to kill Lucas Gray more than I do. I want to avenge Liam, but I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to kill him,” Bryant said with great difficulty through clenched teeth.

“What do you mean by that?” Pierre frowned. “Didn’t you tell us previously that that punk is just a powerless good-for-nothing and the live-in son-in-law of the Carters who got kicked out of the family? Is there something about his identity that makes it impossible for us to do anything to him?”

“No, that’s not the case.” Bryant shook his head and pulled out a cell phone from his pocket. Then he instructed someone to cast the video he had saved on the phone onto the 78-inch TV screen in the middle of the hall.

Soon, a somewhat blurry video played on the large screen. Based on the angle, it seemed to be surveillance camera footage.

“Mr. Gray, we’ve already let your friends go. Can you let Mr. Kingston off now?” Russell, the person in charge of the auction, asked extremely carefully, seemingly afraid of angering Lucas.

In the center of the video, there was a young man of about 27 or 28 years old ruthlessly stepping on the chest of someone lying on the ground.

The face of the man on the ground was red, and there were clear fingerprints on his neck, which seemed to be the result of being strangled. This person was Kyle Kingston!

It turned out to be footage of Lucas threatening Kyle during the altercation that had occurred at the auction the other day!

In fact, when Kyle delivered Liam’s corpse to the Wallaces, he had mentioned that he almost got killed by Lucas. But the Wallaces were skeptical about his allegation because almost no one would dare to do such a thing to Kyle, given the powerful status of his family!

But when they saw the footage of the scene at that time, they were all astounded because it turned out that Kyle had told them the truth!

Lucas Gray is really brazen!
