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

Chapter 1215 - 1215 The Greatest Crisis

1215 The Greatest Crisis

Meanwhile, Lucas and Ashley had already left Club Aurora. It was getting late, so Lucas sent Ashley home.

On the way back, Ashley was clearly in a much better mood.

In fact, a lot of things had happened tonight. At first, Ashley was just worried and wanted to have a meal with Lucas before going abroad, hoping to spend some time with him to fulfill her secret wish.

She never thought that it would lead to so much trouble.

The matter regarding Peter had made Ashley feel extremely miserable at first. But after seeing his true colors, she had been freed from the shackles restraining her heart and was finally relieved of a massive burden weighing down on her for the past few years.

It was the first time in many years that she felt so relaxed and happy.

“Thank you so much, Lucas! If not for your help, I’m afraid I would have never known how blind I was back then to have fallen for such a scumbag. And… I even felt so sad about him for so long. I did so many stupid things… This will forever stain my past!”

When the car stopped at the entrance of the house where Ashley and her family were temporarily staying, she opened the car door and thanked Lucas gratefully.

But Lucas didn’t think much of it. He said with a smile, “Fortunately, you’ve seen that man’s true colors, and you no longer have to carry such a heavy burden. You’re going abroad tomorrow. Just work hard when you’re abroad to repay me!”

In fact, it was just a joke.

...

But Ashley nodded solemnly and promised, “Yes! I’ll definitely work hard. I won’t disappoint you! Wait for my good news!”

Lucas chuckled. “Okay. It’s getting late. Return home quickly!”

“Okay, be careful on the road, Lucas. Goodbye!”

Only after watching Ashley enter the house did Lucas disengage the brakes and drive back to his villa.

But when Lucas returned home and checked his phone, he discovered that he had several missed calls and text messages.

They were all from Cheyenne.

Cheyenne is looking for me so anxiously. Did something happen? Lucas immediately frowned and opened Cheyenne’s messages.

When he saw the content of the first message, his expression changed drastically, and he almost dropped his phone.

Wh-what is going on?

Lucas had a look of disbelief on his face, which was an extremely rare expression for him, who was always composed.

There was a photo on his phone screen, and the background looked like a hotel room.

...

There was a man and a woman in the photo. Lucas was extremely familiar with these two people. They were Lena and him!

This wasn’t the only photo. The remaining dozen messages were all photos of him and Lena.

The angle was extremely deliberate, and it looked as if they were in very intimate positions.

Moreover, there was a photo of Lucas lying on the bed with Lena lying intimately against him, clad in nothing except a white bath towel!

Anyone who wasn’t blind could guess what was going on!

Furthermore, there was a photo taken outside the hotel. Lucas’s hand was on Lena’s shoulder as she helped him inside. In the photo, it looked like he had his arm around her.

As he quickly looked through the photos, his face became extremely gloomy, and his heart gradually sank.

Apart from these messages, Cheyenne didn’t say anything else.

Lucas suddenly hit his own head.

The biggest issue now was not about who had taken these photos but to quickly explain to Cheyenne that there was nothing between him and Lena!

Lucas immediately called Cheyenne.

...

But it was already late. When Lucas called her, the call couldn’t connect.

It was already past 1 a.m., so Cheyenne must have already gone to bed…

But this shouldn’t be possible. Given Cheyenne’s character, she definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep after this incident with Lucas. She must be staring at her phone and waiting for him to give her a reasonable explanation.

Since his calls couldn’t connect and she wasn’t sleeping, there was only one possibility left…

Lucas started panicking and sent Cheyenne a video call request. But he found that he had been blocked.

Cheyenne had actually blocked him!

Seeing the red exclamation mark in the chat window, Lucas panicked even more.

Cheyenne had blocked him and wasn’t answering his calls. She was clearly furious!

Who did it?

Lucas was annoyed that he couldn’t contact Cheyenne.

These photos weren’t digitally doctored because Lucas had indeed stayed at that hotel with Lena a few days ago.

...

But at the time, Lucas had drowned his sorrows in alcohol at a bar after learning that he had mistakenly hated Michael for years and that he wasn’t actually his biological son.

In the bar, Lucas had coincidentally run into Lena, who happened to be in DC too and sent him to the hotel later.

At the time, he was already drunk and didn’t know what happened afterward.

But when he woke up the following day, Lena told him that nothing had happened between them and that they didn’t sleep in the same room.

In that case, who took the photos?

But regardless of who took the photos, they had been sent to Cheyenne and had undoubtedly already brought a lot of trouble to Lucas and put his marriage in crisis.

It could be said that this was the greatest crisis that Lucas had ever encountered since returning to Orange County!

If he couldn’t handle it properly, there would be great rifts between him and Cheyenne, and their marriage might even break down!

“Damn it! I must never drink again!” Lucas punched himself again, overwhelmed with self-reproach and chagrin.

Now, the most important thing was to explain it to Cheyenne!

Since Cheyenne refused to answer his calls and had blocked him on the messaging app, he had no choice but to return to Orange County to explain to her in person!

...

Lucas took out his phone and made a call. “Help me book the earliest flight to Orange County!”

But after Lucas instructed Flynn to book the flight ticket, his phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Charlotte.
