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

Chapter 847: The Shame Back Then

After Lucas heard what Vince said, a trace of contempt appeared on his lips.

The wedding today was merely a trap that the Smiths used to lure Lucas to DC.

Lucas had already figured it out when he learned that the Smiths supported the Dempseys and got them to ask for Maddy’s hand in marriage.

Moreover, just now, Phil, the head of the Dempseys, had personally confirmed this.

Now that Vince suddenly appeared, it definitely wasn’t to talk nonsense with him. He had to have his agenda.

The Smiths’ agenda wasn’t difficult to guess.

Of the two successors of the Smiths, Lucas had forced one to kneel and apologize, which was a great embarrassment to the Smiths, and he had frightened the other into lunacy.

Given how prideful and protective the Smiths were of their family, they definitely wouldn’t let Lucas off.

The Smiths were probably the ones who wanted to get rid of Lucas the most. How could they possibly give Lucas a thank-you gift like Vince said?

Vince looked extremely confident, as if he had already secured victory, but he was as foolish as he was back in California.

“I originally thought that after all this, you would have grown a bit. But I never thought you would still be so stupid!” Lucas said indifferently.

“What did you say?!” Vince immediately flew into a rage and sprang up from his chair.

“Don’t you forget that this is DC, the Smiths’ territory, and not California!

“How dare you still speak to me like that? Aren’t you afraid of Smiths sending all our elites here to kill you?

“You can’t even realize the situation clearly. You’re the stupid one!”

Vince looked at Lucas with a murderous gaze. Being called stupid to his face by a young man more than twenty years younger was simply an insult!

In particular, Lucas actually scolded him in front of the Dempseys and the Stones. It made Vince feel a burning and stinging sensation on his face due to the embarrassment.

“Hmph, you’re now on the Smiths’ turf, but you believe you’re confident enough to deal with me?”

“It seems you’ve forgotten how you knelt in front of me to apologize like a dog and admit your mistakes not long ago in California!” Lucas sneered and revealed the incident that had been a thorn in Vince’s heart.

Given how much their pride mattered to them, the Smiths definitely wouldn’t want to have their dirty laundry aired in public and have word spread about Vince’s disgrace in California.

Since the Smiths and Vince were so prideful, Lucas would put them to shame!

“Shut up! Shut up!” As soon as Vince heard Lucas mentioning that matter, he was so furious that the veins on his forehead began bulging!

Being forced by Lucas to kneel and apologize was the most embarrassing thing that Vince had suffered in his life. It was also something that he never wanted to be mentioned. But Lucas actually exposed it in front of so many people!

The Dempseys and the Stones were shocked by the news Lucas revealed.

Vince, the successor of the Smiths, one of the eight most powerful families in DC, who was well known in the upper-class circle of DC, had even knelt in front of Lucas and begged him for forgiveness?!

This was simply impossible!

They didn’t want to believe that something so ridiculous could happen. But after seeing how intensely Vince reacted, which was clearly rage out of shame, they instead believed that what Lucas said was true!

The Dempseys and the Stones suddenly remembered that just half a month ago, the Smiths had suddenly stripped Vince of his position as their successor and replaced him with Oscar Smith.

This matter had caused an uproar in DC at the time because no one knew why the Smiths had suddenly made this decision. After all, for a prestigious family like the Smiths, the matter of replacing the helmsman was incredibly important.

But the Smiths had acted very casual about it and didn’t even give an official statement.

It was only after Lucas said that Vince had knelt in front of him and begged for forgiveness that the crowd suddenly realized what had happened!

So this turned out to be the truth!

Almost all the families in DC knew that the Smiths valued their pride more than any other family. Anyone who brought shame to the family would definitely become a sinner and would be subject to the criticism of other family members. In serious cases, they might even be kicked out of the family.

In particular, Vince had still been the future successor of the Smiths when he was forced to kneel. It was a huge disgrace to the family, so the Smiths obviously wouldn’t allow him to continue being the successor!

Lucas remained sitting and instructed indifferently, “Even if you don’t want to admit it now, it’s still a fact that happened. Okay, in that case, Jordan, please get Mr. Smith to remember how he knelt at my feet and begged for mercy!”

“Yes, Lucas!” A sinister smile immediately appeared on Jordan’s face as he responded with excitement.

Jordan hadn’t seen it when Vince knelt in front of Lucas because he had been protecting Flynn Davis in DC. But now that Lucas asked him to reenact the scene that day, he was naturally eager to do so. He immediately strode toward Vince.

But a person suddenly appeared in front of Vince.

He was around forty years old. His face was gaunt, as if there was only a thin layer of skin wrapped around his bones, and his eyes were deeply sunken, making him look extremely terrifying.

He was wearing a black robe with extremely wide cuffs. He suddenly raised his arms to reveal a pair of metal claws.

The metal claws were worn above his fists. They were sharp and long, resembling the steel claws of the movie character Wolverine.

It was no wonder that the cuffs of his clothes were so strange.

When this person appeared and revealed the metal claws on his hand, many of the older generation members of the Dempseys and Stones inhaled sharply in shock.

“He… he actually appeared!”

A few older people couldn’t help being horrified.

“Who… is this person? Is he famous?” some young people from the Dempseys and the Stones asked.

The middle-aged man gave them a rather bizarre feeling.

The sight of his thin and skeleton-like face gave many of them the chills. Moreover, he had a long pair of terrifying, sharp steel claws.

Was this man… a formidable expert?
