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

Chapter 1355 - 1355 Waiting for Mr. Gray

1355 Waiting for Mr. Gray

After receiving the news that they were safe one after another, Lucas felt greatly relieved.

But Michael and the others had just gotten out of danger and still needed to be hospitalized for treatment and recuperation for a long time. Thus, they could only stay in the hospital during this period.

Lucas arranged for enough people to stay in the hospital.

At this moment, the several families close to Lucas were in turmoil, so in order to avoid any accidents, the safety of these family heads had to be ensured.

Lucas looked at Cheyenne’s haggard face and said with distress, “Cheyenne, you’ve been here for a long time. You should go home and rest!”

Cheyenne shook her head. “I’d better stay here and keep an eye on her. I want to be here when she wakes up. Honey, I know you have a lot of things to deal with now, so go ahead!”

Lucas understood Cheyenne’s character. Since she wanted to stay here and wait for Florence to wake up, she wouldn’t change her mind.

He nodded. “Okay, I’ll go handle my matters. If anything happens, call me. Also, Maddy will be staying in the hospital during this period of time, so if there’s any change in their conditions, remember to inform Maddy promptly.”

Cheyenne agreed, “Okay, Honey, I know. Take care of yourself and be careful.”

After making arrangements in the hospital, Lucas left for the Stardust Corporation.

…

At this moment, the conference room on the top floor of the Stardust Corporation’s office building was already full of people.

Bruce and Edmund had been waiting here all this while. Later, Lucas had someone invite Damon, Roman, Jonah, and the representatives of the Howards and the Smiths here.

Previously, the other families among the eight top families of DC had come aggressively and forcefully seized the manors of the Howards, the Huttons, and the Smiths without any mercy. The Parkers, the Hales, and the Coles, who had followed Lucas to DC, had also suffered a huge impact, and those families had also raided their manors.

Because the Fullers had just pledged allegiance to Lucas, Jensen still wasn’t aware of it. So the Fuller had managed to escape a close shave and were unaffected by this change.

Now that the situation inside DC had become unsafe, Lucas simply gathered all the people on the top floor of the Stardust Corporation’s office building to discuss matters.

Lucas had yet to arrive, and everyone in the conference room was jittery and anxious.

Roman, the Huttons’ successor, couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up from his chair. He paced back and forth in the conference room several times and suddenly said, “Our homes have been forcefully seized by the other top families in DC. Are we supposed to just sit here and wait instead of taking back our territories?”

The Smiths’ next successor, Oscar, who was also Ray’s son, said with frustration, “Yeah, can we solve the problem by staying here? Now those people are wreaking havoc on our turf. Are we really just going to wait here for them to plunder all of our assets? I really can’t wait any longer!”

The Howards’ representative was Pete. He was not the Howards’ successor, but he was currently the highest-ranking member of the Howards’ direct lineage. He was also Cheyenne’s cousin. Since Florence was seriously injured and hospitalized, he was now the Howards’ acting representative.

Pete had already gotten impatient after waiting for so long. He slammed the table with his hands and stood up, “I can’t wait any longer either! I’m going to gather all of the Howards’ people and get our family manor back!”

Seeing that the crowd was agitated, Edmund said, “Don’t worry. Mr. Gray will be here soon. Let’s wait for Mr. Gray to arrive before we discuss the next plan of action!”

“Yeah, let’s wait for Mr. Gray to come. He will definitely have a way to resolve the crisis in front of us!”

“Yes, we just need to continue waiting here for Mr. Gray to come. Let’s relax and not panic just yet!”

Bruce and Damon were both full of confidence in Lucas.

Since Lucas told them not to go hard against those families and told them to wait for news in this conference room, he must have a solution to their predicament.

Pete said anxiously, “It’s not that I don’t believe in Mr. Gray’s strength, but this unrest in DC is not a trivial matter. Our manors have been seized and divided by those families. How can we still wait here calmly?”

Oscar said, “Exactly! If we wait any longer, our homes will completely disappear! What’s the point of waiting?!”

Roman also had a worried look as he said, “That’s right. Now that the matter is urgent, we really don’t have any more time to waste here. I think we should form a temporary alliance and go together to retake our families’ territories and drive those families out!”

All at once, the three representatives of the Howards, the Smiths, and the Huttons were all advocating to form an alliance immediately to take back their manors. On the other hand, the Hales, the Coles, and the Parkers were all for waiting for Lucas to return before deciding. Both sides had divided opinions and fell to a standstill for a while.

Just as both sides were about to get into an argument, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Lucas entered with Jensen in his hand.

“Mr. Gray!”

“Mr. Gray, you’re here!”

When everyone saw Lucas, they all stood up to greet him.

The few who had just made a fuss about leaving first became extremely polite, not daring to continue expressing any dissatisfaction in front of Lucas.

They all knew that Lucas was not to be trifled with and that he wasn’t someone they could afford to provoke.

Lucas nodded casually at the crowd and threw Jensen onto the floor in the middle of the conference room.

Lucas had dislocated all the joints of Jensen’s limbs, so he couldn’t exert any force or maintain his balance and could only fall to the floor in a disheveled state.

Jensen struggled to sit up straight and cursed at Lucas furiously, “Lucas Gray! You bastard! How dare you treat me like this? I won’t let you off!”

He was the third scion of the Hamiltons, a royal family branch. But now, Lucas threw him like a piece of garbage and insulted him in front of so many people. He felt extremely humiliated!

The people in the conference room looked at Jensen with astonishment.

Apart from Lucas, Bruce, and Edmund, the members of the top families of DC didn’t know Jensen or his identity.

Just from the fact that Lucas had thrown this man to the floor mercilessly, coupled with the way this man had cursed at Lucas, all of them knew that this disheveled middle-aged man had to be someone at extreme odds with Lucas.

“Who is this bastard? How dare he talk to Mr. Gray like that?!”

In order to impress Lucas, Oscar raised his hand and slapped Jensen hard on the face!

Smack!
