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

Lucas’s voice was extraordinarily cold, especially when he glanced at William. This man really lost Cheyenne to a man. He really deserves to die!

Unfortunately, at this moment, William’s eyes were out of focus, and he had a deadpan expression as he stood rooted to the ground, as if he was out of his element and dispirited. He didn’t catch Lucas’s murderous gaze at all, nor did he respond to Lucas’s act of holding Cheyenne by her waist.

Suddenly, Lena violently pushed away Lucas’s arm, stood in front of Cheyenne, and yelled at him, “Let go of her!”

Lucas looked at her and narrowed his eyes. “Shut up. This matter is none of your business. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being nasty to the Sawyers.”

Lucas had long since learned a lot of information about various people through the intelligence network that Jordan had set up.

For example, Cheyenne’s close friend Lena actually happened to be the daughter of Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in the county.

Ethan had always protected his son and daughter well. Ever since they were children, he sent them abroad to pursue an education. Thus, very few people in Orange County were aware of Lena’s identity.

Although Lucas was acquaintances with Ethan, he wouldn’t hesitate to be hostile to Lena if she tried to foolishly ruin his plan!

“You… You know who I am?”

Surprised that Lucas knew of her identity, Lena gaped her mouth open a little. But at the thought that her close friend was about to be taken away by this stranger like a spoil of war and that she might face horrendous treatment in the future, Lena felt that she had to protect Cheyenne instead of being a coward!

“Since you know who I am, can you spare Cheyenne for the sake of my father? I’ll get my father to pay you that one million dollars William owes you!”

Lucas sneered. “Do I look like someone who lacks a million dollars? I’m taking this woman with me! If you don’t want to offend someone and make an enemy for your father, you’d better shut up!”

Cheyenne pulled Lena away and persuaded softly, “Lena, thank you for your good intentions. But since my father said those things and used me as collateral to this man, just stay out of this.”

Cheyenne was honestly very touched to see Lena standing up for her.

It was actually a very lucky thing to be able to meet such a good friend in this life!

Cheyenne advised Lena to stay out of it naturally because she had planned this together with Lucas. She wouldn’t be in any danger leaving with Lucas at all.

But Lena thought that Cheyenne just didn’t want her to be implicated and get into trouble, so she was instead even more determined to save her close friend!

“Cheyenne, I’m not afraid of being implicated. I must save you. I can’t let someone take you away!”

Lena was full of determination as she grabbed Cheyenne’s hand tightly before saying to Lucas, “How about this? I’ll give you two million dollars to let her go. Cheyenne is already married. Go find another woman!”

Lucas was slightly surprised, as he didn’t expect Lena to be so insistent on saving Cheyenne.

At this moment, Lucas’s impression of Lena increased greatly.

But it was definitely impossible for him to hand Cheyenne over to her because that would ruin their plan.

Lucas shook his head and said resolutely, “No.”

Lena bit her lower lip and said unwillingly, “Then what do you want to let her go? I’ll definitely promise you as long as I can do it!”

Lucas suddenly chuckled teasingly. “Really? Since you have such a close relationship with each other, come with me together!”

Then he went forward without mercy and nonchalantly picked Lena up to put her on his shoulder. He then pulled Cheyenne with one hand. And just like that, he led the two beauties out of the poker room!

“Ah! Scoundrel, what are you doing? Hurry up and let go of me!” Lena shrieked while struggling with all her might on Lucas’s shoulder.

Unfortunately, she was too weak compared to Lucas.

Just as they were about to leave, William suddenly snapped out of his trance—perhaps because he was jolted awake by Lena’s shrieks—and hurriedly dashed toward them.

His heart full of regret, William stopped in front of them. “Wait a minute! Wait! I-I regret it. Don’t take my daughter away! Since I owe you money, I’ll go home and get it for you. Even if I lose all my money, I must get my daughter back! Please let my daughter off!”

How could I have been so obsessed with one million dollars and insisted on gambling, so much so that I ended up losing my daughter?!

Seeing Lucas still holding his daughter tightly, William gritted his teeth and fell to his knees with a loud thud!

“Please, I’m begging you… I know that I was too obsessed with gambling and ended up harming my daughter! My daughter is innocent. Please let her go! I’ll do anything you want, but don’t take my daughter away!” William knelt on the ground with tears all over his face as he pleaded with Lucas in misery.

When Lucas saw William kneeling and begging him to let Cheyenne go, his anger faded a little. It seemed that William had finally come to his senses and that he wasn’t that inhumane either.

But his plan had yet to be fully realized, and it wasn’t the time to be soft-hearted yet. Otherwise, William would never learn his lesson or quit his gambling addiction!

“Get lost! It’s too late to say this now!” Lucas decided to be ruthless and forcefully pulled the tearful Cheyenne away. He then walked toward the door of the poker room.

“Hey, it seems inappropriate for you to leave just like that, right?” A gloomy voice suddenly came from the front.

Lucas frowned and looked at the elevator in front of him. He saw a few tall and burly bodyguards in front of him. The young man in his thirties in the middle had already blocked Lucas and the others’ path.

When the surrounding poker players saw the young man in his thirties, many of them seemed surprised.

“It’s Tony Zander! The owner of Little Atlantis City! How is he suddenly here?”

“He must be here because of those two beauties being taken away by that punk! Speaking of which, I just realized that these two chicks are really beautiful!”

“It’s no wonder… I heard that Tony Zander really fancies beautiful babes. He has always stayed out of the affairs in Little Atlantis City, but this time, he actually intervened and stopped that young man.”

“Hehehe, it seems that we’re in for a good show!”

The poker players were discussing quietly, but Lucas had a sharp sense of hearing and had long heard everything they said.

It seemed that something greatly troublesome would happen again.

Lucas was feeling irritated and questioned, “What do you want? I want to leave. Do I need your approval?”

Tony raised his hand and slicked his greased hair back in order to look suave. “If you leave on your own, I won’t stop you. But if you try to snatch women away from me on my turf, I have to take care of it!”
