Upon seeing Scarlet become frightened by a single look from Lucas, Aston was immediately displeased. He shouted, “What? Did Scarlet say something wrong? You’re just a good-for-nothing who has nothing to his name. You’re very brazen, huh? It’s such a shame that the greatest beauty of Orange County married a loser like you!”

When Daniels, the club manager, heard this, his eyes lit up. “I heard that Cheyenne Carter, the former greatest beauty of Orange County and gorgeous CEO, got involved with a lowly chauffeur of the company and even had footage of her with that man in a hotel exposed, causing a huge uproar. Later on, she had to marry the chauffeur. You aren’t that chauffeur, are you? William Carter, I didn’t expect you to be the father of the most beautiful woman in Orange County! I couldn’t tell at all!”

Scarlet snorted and snapped in disgruntlement, “Greatest beauty? She’s just a bitch with a pretty face who climbed to the top by sleeping with men!”

Lucas looked at Scarlet with a murderous aura in his eyes.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Scarlet and slapped her twice, hard and loud, immediately sending her flying into the poker table behind her. After a series of loud sounds, the chips on the table scattered all over the floor.

“Since you have the audacity to talk nonsense about Cheyenne, you deserve to be slapped!” Jordan glanced at Scarlet, who was on the ground and couldn’t get on her feet for a long time. He then turned around to look at Lucas with a straight face.

Although he had suppressed his anger and didn’t use too much force, his slaps still ruptured the corners of Scarlet’s mouth and made her cheeks red and swollen.

This scene took everyone aback and made them dumbfounded!

No one saw clearly where this person had come from!

Moreover, it was apparent that he was someone who had been following Lucas.

The expressions of all the people changed drastically. And at this moment, the angriest person was, without a doubt, Aston Brooke.

Although Aston was just toying with Scarlet and didn’t have any feelings for her, she was still his current woman after all. Now that she had been sent flying with two slaps, it was more than just two slaps but also an insult to him!

“You have the guts to hit my woman, huh? Punk, do you know who I am?” Aston stared at Jordan with a threatening gaze.

To his surprise, Jordan was even more arrogant than him. He rolled his eyes and retorted, “Don’t you yourself know who you are? Fancy you asking me instead. Are you an idiot?!”

“You!” Aston was furious. He felt a strong urge to dash forward and beat Jordan into a pulp.

Lucas glanced at Aston coldly before scanning his surroundings and saying in an icy-cold voice, “If anyone dares to speak ill of my wife from now on, it won’t be as simple as two slaps.”

Aston was about to say a few more words, but as soon as his gaze met Lucas’s chilly and frightening eyes, he immediately felt his heart turn cold. He could no longer say what he wanted.

The others even felt an indescribable power emanating from Lucas’s body, and they were too terrified to speak.

Lucas looked back at the club manager, Joe Daniels, and said indifferently, “Let’s continue where we left off. My father-in-law got bullied by you. How do you plan to explain this to me?”

Daniels suddenly began applauding. Although Lucas was thin, he had been maintaining a calm expression and even gave off a terrifying might, making it hard for Daniels to get a clear understanding of his background.

Although Scarlet and Aston just said that Lucas was a useless good-for-nothing, Daniels had been working for the club for years and had a discerning eye. His intuition told him that Lucas was not an ordinary person or a good-for-nothing like they said.

Daniels remained silent while William broke out in a cold sweat because of how frightened he was. He tried to punch Lucas while shouting, “Who do you think you are? How dare you ask for an explanation from Mr. Daniels? Are you tired of living? Hurry up and give him the money for the ransom. I’m alright now. I don’t need you to stand up for me!”

Lucas could already guess William’s reaction, but he didn’t take it to heart and simply stared at Daniels calmly, waiting to hear his explanation.

“Damn it! You loser, you’re going to be the death of me! I told you not to make things hard for Mr. Daniels. Even if you’re courting death, don’t drag me down!” William hollered at Lucas furiously before turning around to smile at Daniels deferentially. “Mr. Daniels, please don’t blame me! I don’t know what’s wrong with this loser today. He actually had the guts to create trouble here! I... I apologize to you. Please don’t take it to heart. If you must, blame this loser! You can beat or scold him if you want!”

Daniels immediately had a playful look. This is hilarious. He’s standing up for his father-in-law, but his father-in-law is shirking responsibility and letting an outsider hit his son-in-law. How amusing and ridiculous.

Although the onlookers felt that Lucas was overestimating himself if he thought that he could beat Daniels and ask for an explanation, they were full of disdain for William.

People like William were cowardly, stupid, and inhumane.

Some even secretly thought Lucas shouldn’t have come to William’s rescue and let him learn his lesson by having his hands and feet chopped off.

Looking at Lucas in derision, Daniels said, “Your father-in-law himself isn’t even bothered, so do you still want to ask me for an explanation?”

Lucas nodded lightly with a straight face. “Yes. It’s his business that he doesn’t want an explanation. I want one.”

Hearing his words, William was even more furious. He reached out to slap Lucas, only to have Jordan grab him and hold him down.

“Let go of me! I’m your father-in-law. I don’t believe that you have the guts to get someone to hit me,” William roared furiously.

Jordan pursed his lips. If not for the fact Lucas had long instructed him not to harm Cheyenne’s parents, he would have crippled William!

“Jordan, take him home first,” Lucas suddenly said with a frown.

“Okay, Lucas!” Jordan immediately obeyed the order and carried William away by his collar.

“Wait, you haven’t paid yet. Now, none of you can think of leaving!” Daniels shouted. The few burly men around him immediately blocked Jordan and William.

William was so scared that he was shaking and didn’t dare to move.

But the next second, almost everyone’s eyes widened, nearly unable to believe what was happening in front of them!
