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

grandfather truthfully and let him come to a decision.”

As they conversed, they had already reached the Carter residence.
Lucas opened the car door and got out without turning back at all.

When Lucas disappeared behind the wall of the courtyard, Aston immediately took out his phone and called his grandfather, Andrew Brooke.
“Grandpa, at the Hale residence tonight…”

He was about to report all the incredible events that occurred at the Hale residence tonight when he suddenly recalled the warning that the burly soldier had given before he left.

Aston immediately dropped the idea and paused before continuing, “I sent Lucas Gray home after the Hales’ banquet ended.
And during the journey, I mentioned to him what you had told me to, but he wasn’t willing to concede.
He doesn’t even take us seriously, and he warned us not to be a smart aleck.
He also said that we have always been servants to him.”

“Hmph, how arrogant!” Andrew was enraged.
“If he were still the heir of the Huttons, we would definitely have to be subservient to him.
But he’s just a nobody whom the Huttons have abandoned for almost twenty years.
What right does he have to be the master of the Brooke family?

“With his current status, he should be utterly grateful to us for offering help to him, yet he still doesn’t know any better.
We gave him an inch and he took a mile! Hmph, does he really think that the Brookes are afraid of him?”

Andrew hollered clearly from the other end.

Aston agreed entirely with his grandfather, but when he thought about the power that Lucas had displayed tonight, he felt that there was definitely something fishy about him.

If he were merely an abandoned family member whom the Hutton had kicked out for numerous years, how could he command such strong military power?

There was definitely something fishy behind this matter!

“Grandpa, I still have something to say to you, but it’s not convenient to do so on the phone.
I’ll tell you when I get home,” Aston said.

He still decided to give Andrew a detailed explanation of everything that happened.
After all, it was an important matter, and if it was really Lucas’s doing, they would have to be wary and cautious toward Lucas.

Although the military had issued a gag order, he would only be telling Andrew about it when they were alone in a room at home.
Even if the military had wide connections, it would be impossible for them to find out if he had revealed it or not.

“Okay, come home once you’re done.
But until then, don’t fall out with Lucas Gray yet.
Drag it out for now and find a way to use the Stardust Group to bring us more profits.”

“Yes, Grandpa.” Aston Brooke agreed, but he didn’t wait any longer and instead rushed back to the Brooke residence in LA overnight.

As for how he and Andrew avoided eyes and how he told him what had happened tonight at the Hales and what Lucas had done, that would be left for later.

By the time Lucas alighted from the car at the Carter residence, it was already past 11 p.m.

Lucas pushed open the door of Cheyenne’s room and entered, only to find that Amelia had already fallen asleep while Cheyenne was still sitting on the edge of the bed with her brows furrowed in a frown.
She seemed to be thinking about something.

When she saw Lucas enter, she looked him up and down before glaring at him furiously.
She then switched off the lights in the room, turned over, and lay down on the bed.

Lucas’s heart dropped.
He finally remembered that Amelia had unintentionally mentioned that she had gone to Aunt Grace’s place to play.
Due to Karen’s misleading words, Cheyenne got the wrong idea about him!

But there was no way he could explain it!
