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

?”

Adrian said with unparalleled confidence, “Charlie is backed by the Taylors, one of the four most powerful families in this county! Even if you’re the chairman of the Stardust Corporation, you own only one corporation, and everyone in Orange County knows that the Stardust Corporation no longer has anything to do with the Huttons now.
So, do you think you can defeat the Taylors?

“Besides, Franco has a large group of underlings who have committed all sorts of violent acts such as slashing and arson.
Franco himself is a combat expert who has been training since he was a teenager! Mr.
Gray, given how lanky you are, Franco can crush you with the lift of his finger! Aren’t you afraid that he’ll deal with you ruthlessly?” At the end of his speech, a sinister glint appeared in Adrian’s eyes as he began to threaten Lucas’s personal safety.

“Pfft!” Someone next to him suddenly burst into laughter.

Seeing that everyone was now staring at him, Louis hurriedly reached his hands out to cover his mouth.

Louis found Adrian’s threats hilarious and couldn’t help himself.

He wondered what expression Adrian would have on his face when he found out the truth later.

“In that case, you’re bent on being the general manager, and there’s no room for negotiation.
Is that right?” Lucas asked with raised brows.

“I’ll be honest with you too.
Franco will continue to disrupt the operations of the warehouse for as long as I’m not the general manager.
Mr.
Gray, it’s up to you to decide whether you can afford to wait!” Adrian dropped his pretense and simply revealed his agenda and tricks to Lucas.

Lucas sneered and stopped wasting his breath on Adrian.
He turned around and said to Preston, “Go bring that so-called highly valued subordinate of yours over!”

“…” Preston glanced at Lucas while gritting his teeth, but he could only helplessly gesture at the bodyguards behind him.

The bodyguards immediately acknowledged his order and walked toward the warehouse.

Lucas’s reaction made Adrian, Jimmy, and the other five people baffled as they had an ominous hunch.
They were just about to crane their necks to see who the bodyguards would bring over when Lucas suddenly questioned them.

“Are the six of you still going to take Adrian Hill’s side?”

Jimmy and the other five people looked at each other.
Soon, they saw a look of certainty in each other’s eyes.

They had already handed over 60 grand each to Adrian in return for the chance to return to their jobs at the company and then make a ton of money.
They couldn’t give up and back out at this point.

They had to be on Adrian’s side!

“Yes, Mr.
Gray.
We’re indeed going to support Adrian in becoming general manager!”

“Yes.
Mr.
Hill is capable, qualified, and competent, so why shouldn’t he be the general manager? If you hadn’t interfered yesterday, this wouldn’t have happened to the warehouse today!”

“That’s right! We’re all in this together with Adrian.
We’re not taking sides, but rather, we’re just choosing to stand on the right side!”

“Mr.
Gray, think about it carefully.
Otherwise, the company will eventually go bankrupt and shut down!”

Lucas shook his head regretfully.
“I just gave you guys a chance, but unfortunately, you gave it up yourselves.”

Jimmy and the other five all frowned in bewilderment, failing to understand what Lucas meant.

At this juncture, the sounds of a noisy commotion filled the air.
A group of people came out from the corner outside the warehouse and walked over with bizarre gaits.
Their bodies were swaying unsteadily, and many of them were limping or hopping over on one leg.
All of them were grimacing and hissing in pain.

At the front, the two bodyguards in black were carrying a person whose limbs were obviously broken and hanging loosely while walking toward Lucas.

Looking at these people who didn’t seem to be behaving normally, Adrian panicked and subconsciously took two steps back.
Pretending to be composed, he asked, “Who… who are these people?”

Lucas gibed with a smile, “What? Can’t you recognize your best buddy?”
