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

Chapter 485: Clarifying The Truth

Chapter 485: Clarifying The Truth

Elijah had long been shocked by the scene just now. Seeing Lucas walking toward him with an oppressive and domineering aura, he was so frightened that he started shuddering and shrinking backward while yelling, “I... I don’t know anything! Don’t ask me!”

Although he said he didn’t know, anyone could tell that he definitely knew about the situation.

Lucas stared at the look of horror on his face condescendingly and smiled. “I haven’t asked you anything yet, and you already said you don’t know. It seems you’re just being perfunctory with me.”

His face suddenly turned gloomy, and Elijah was so terrified that he was almost going to scream. “I’m asking you a question now! Answer me honestly! If you dare to lie or hide anything from me, I’ll break your limbs right away! I’ve always had a bad temper. Do you know what to say now?”

Elijah was overwhelmed with panic, and he was on the verge of peeing in his pants out of fear. He knew that Lucas was definitely not scaring him by saying that he would break his limbs. He knew that Lucas would definitely do it, so he didn’t know what he should do now.

Seeing his grandson panicking, Joseph couldn’t bring himself to continue looking at him. He stopped Lucas in displeasure. “Young man, are you trying to malign and punish an innocent person?”

Lucas frowned and glanced at Joseph coldly before saying indifferently, “Those standing at the side better shut up when I’m questioning someone!”

His eyes were sharp like daggers that immediately made Joseph panic and shut his eyes tightly.

Joseph’s heart began pounding rapidly. The way Lucas glared at him made him feel horrified, even though he was advanced in years and had experienced plenty in life.

Only then did he understand why Damon would be that respectful to Lucas. It was because Lucas was indeed someone he couldn’t afford to provoke!

Lucas looked at Elijah again and asked softly, “Now, tell me. How did Tristan Parker die?”

His tone was soft, but after Elijah heard his words, his throat tensed up, and he was so nervous that he could barely breathe.

“He... he...” Elijah swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva resentfully, but he didn’t dare to say those words again.

In the face of Lucas’s questioning, he didn’t dare have any intentions to lie and make up excuses to muddle through. Of course, his intelligence couldn’t allow him to come up with any other lies.

But if he told the truth, his and Callum’s reputation would be ruined, and the Owens would all be dragged to rock bottom by them.

In short, it was a dead end!

At this juncture, he regretted it immensely and thought, Why did I choose such a path? In fact, he even developed some feelings of resentment toward Callum for coming up with this idea. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a predicament. What exactly should I do now?

“Speak up! Who exactly killed Tristan Parker?!” Lucas didn’t have the time to care about what was going through Elijah’s mind, nor did he want to continue wasting time here. So he suddenly snapped and hollered at him.

His holler made Elijah shiver violently in absolute fright. At the same time, a warm liquid gushed out from the nethers of his body.

Elijah shuddered, and he was on the verge of tears. While trembling, he said, “I... I’ll tell you! He... he...”

“Shut up! Don’t say anything!” Callum suddenly let out an angry roar.

He had just received a hard slap from Lucas, which knocked out several of his teeth, causing air to move through the gaps in his teeth when he spoke. But he was panic-stricken and anxiously wanted to stop the dimwit Elijah from spilling the beans at all costs.

He had already told Elijah long ago that he had to vehemently deny it regardless of what happened.

If he denied it insistently, Lucas wouldn’t really do anything to them in front of so many members of the Owen family, and they would still have a way out.

But if Elijah told the truth, they would all be finished!

Lucas had reached the limit of his patience with Callum. He could already tell since a long time ago that the smart-looking Callum was the mastermind who had come up with the idea and devised the plan.

“You’re being too noisy!” Lucas glanced at Callum coldly, and with a flick in his hand, a shiny coin flew out of his hand and immediately pierced through Callum’s neck, cutting his vocal cords. At the same time, the aorta of his neck was sliced too.

Bright red blood instantly gushed out from the wound in Callum’s neck and reached nearly a meter high. Callum covered his neck with his hand but to no avail. He could only watch the blood spill over his head as his body began convulsing.

Everyone was horrified!

They didn’t expect that Lucas would be so ruthless and have the audacity to kill someone in front of so many people!

Moreover, he was able to directly kill a person just by flicking an ordinary coin with his finger. How terrifying must his strength be?!

“Callum!” After a brief moment of shock, Joseph yelled at Lucas furiously, “How dare you kill my grandson? I’m not going to spare you!”

Then he rushed toward Lucas and looked like he was going to fight to the death with him.

Lucas glanced at him coldly, and his following words immediately caused him to freeze.

“If you take him to the hospital now, there might still be a chance to save him,” Lucas said expressionlessly while pointing at Callum on the floor.

Joseph gritted his teeth and finally turned his head to yell at the bodyguards and others standing next to him. “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take him to the hospital for emergency rescue!”

Although Callum’s carotid artery had been cut, he was not completely out of breath yet, so if he was sent to the hospital in time, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

The Owens hastily carried Callum to a car and sent him out as fast as they could.

But the matter had yet to be resolved.

Lucas once again fished out a coin from his pocket, stood in front of Elijah, and said indifferently, “You haven’t told me the answer to the question I just asked you. Do you have an answer to why Tristan Parker died now?”

There was still a large amount of blood on the floor, and it was emitting a foul and terrifying odor.

The coin in Lucas’s hand, which was like a murderous weapon, was emitting a frighteningly cold aura in front of Elijah.

Elijah had long broken down completely and burst into tears. “Yes... I’ll tell you everything! It’s my brother! My brother hired someone to kill Tristan! He said that you definitely wouldn’t let us off for the mistake we’ve made and that we should just... go all out and kill Tristan! That way, you wouldn’t take revenge on us, and we’d be able to destroy the marriage between the Parkers and the Sawyers. You and the Parkers would also get into a huge conflict, and we could even take advantage of the opportunity to kill you! That way, the Owens would become the most powerful family in LA!”

Lucas raised an eyebrow and continued to ask, “You were afraid that I’d take revenge on you? What else have you done?”
