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

Chapter 652: Your Identity

Alexis’s flabbergasting statement just now and the fact that she was now clearly walking toward someone sparked a huge uproar in the hall as countless people exclaimed in unison.

“Could… the person Alexis likes really be here?”

“Wow, this is so exciting! I thought Alexis just said that casually to reject Nate, but now it seems she really does like someone, and she’s planning to announce it now.”

“Look in the direction Alexis is walking! That’s Connor Hale from Orange County and Kenneth Parker from LA! Could the person Alexis likes be one of these two?”

“But didn’t someone just say that Connor Hale is already married and even has a child? In that case, it seems the only person left is Kenneth Parker? Is the person Alexis likes actually Kenneth?”

“Ah, right, now that you’ve said it, I remember now. Didn’t Alexis happen to go to LA with Mr. Cole Sr. some time ago? Maybe Alexis and Kenneth fell in love at that time!”

“Wow! It’s true! This is definitely huge news!”

…

The gossipy eyes and topics spread throughout the entire hall almost instantly.

Since Kenneth was standing there and still single, everyone immediately guessed that he was the one.

As for Lucas, who was standing next to him, he was directly treated like air.

Only Lena, standing beside Lucas, instinctively felt something with a woman’s sixth sense. She subconsciously wanted to stand in front of him and block the sight of the others, especially Alexis’s.

“Lucas, I’m sorry I’m only telling you now that you’re the person I like!” Alexis stood in front of Lucas with a bright smile on her face.

Her words immediately left everyone in astonishment, like a bomb exploding in the party.

“What?!”

The person the little princess of the Coles, Alexis liked… was the person whose origin and background they didn’t know at all?

In an instant, countless gazes of disbelief were cast on Lucas.

Lucas’s eyes also suddenly widened in astonishment, and a rare look of dismay appeared on his face.

But seeing the pleading gaze in Alexis’s eyes, he immediately understood why she had suddenly said that.

Alexis didn’t really fancy him and merely wanted to use him as a shield to stop Nate.

After figuring this out, Lucas secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He was fine with being Alexis’s shield, but he would be at a loss if Alexis really liked him.

Seeing that Lucas understood what she meant, Alexis smiled at him slyly and then walked forward to hold his arm intimately.

Almost all the people present were so shocked that their jaws dropped!

Although they didn’t know who this late twenties man in front of them was, they assumed that, based on his shabby attire, he had to be a poor man who couldn’t even afford a decent suit.

But who is Alexis?

She is the precious princess of the Coles!

Edmund, the head of the Coles, only had one son, Clement, whose only daughter was Alexis. No matter what, Alexis was bound to take over the entire Cole family in the future.

Moreover, Alexis naturally wouldn’t be able to handle so many of her family’s businesses on her own, so she would definitely need the help of her future husband.

In other words, as long as he married Alexis, it would be akin to getting hold of the Coles’ empire.

Yet this godsent opportunity was going to land in the hands of a nameless poor man!

At this moment, Nate was undoubtedly the one who looked the most upset.

The reason he confessed to Alexis and tried every possible way to marry her was naturally for the sake of the Coles’ massive empire.

But Alexis was now standing next to the penniless Lucas and holding his arm, making Nate extraordinarily enraged.

In Nate’s heart, Alexis had long been his woman, whom he would grasp tightly sooner or later. Moreover, he saw the Coles’ empire as his belonging that no one else was allowed to covet.

Thus, in Nate’s opinion, Lucas had snatched away the woman who should belong to him, together with the Coles’ empire. This made him feel a strong urge to kill Lucas immediately.

“Nate, the person I like is Lucas, so stop pestering me now. I will never like you, so just give up!” Alexis held Lucas’s hand and looked at Nate with a straight face.

Feeling extremely humiliated, Nate wished he could curse at them and call them adulterers to vent his hatred.

But he fortunately still had the last trace of rationality in his head and knew that he was still on the Coles’s turf and surrounded by the Coles’s friends and relatives, as well as the children of other wealthy families in California.

Trying his best to hold his anger back, he asked resentfully, “Kid, who exactly are you?”

He had previously already asked Lucas about his identity because of his uneasiness due to Connor’s and Kenneth’s overly respectful attitude toward Lucas.

Unfortunately, Lucas had merely said that he was an orphan who didn’t have a family to support him. He didn’t reveal any other information.

But now, even Alexis, whom Nate had been longing for a long time but hadn’t been able to conquer, actually said that she liked Lucas, making him feel extremely indignant.

If… if Lucas was really the scion of some big family in DC, Nate would be willing to bow down and admit defeat.

But if Lucas was really just a penniless man, Nate would never be willing to accept defeat!

Seeing Nate glowering at Lucas as though he was about to devour him, Alexis frowned in displeasure, stood in front of Lucas with her chest puffed up, and chastised, “What are you doing? It’s my freedom to date who I want. What else do you want?”

Seeing Alexis defending Lucas like this, anger and sourness surged in Nate’s heart.

“Lucas Gray, if you call yourself a man, answer me honestly. Don’t keep hiding behind a woman and making her stand up for you. I really despise you!”

Nate questioned again. He was about to suffocate to death if he still couldn’t find out Lucas’s true identity!

Lucas looked at his furious face and smiled gently. “You’re not qualified to know what my identity is. You just need to bear in mind that I’m not someone you can afford to provoke. Don’t appear in front of me again!”

Lucas’s words were extremely domineering and arrogant. He didn’t even take Nate, the scion of one of the top three families of San Francisco, seriously.

As soon as Lucas finished speaking, the entire hall fell dead silent.
