Chapter 637: Come With Me
After a long time, Kylie finally understood what Lucas was driving at with his ridiculing remark. Her face, covered with thick foundation, was about to explode because of how exasperated she was!
“Lucas Gray, you bastard, how dare you mock him?!” She glared at Lucas as if she had the most unpleasant and distasteful side of her exposed. Even her voice became extremely sharp and shrill.
Even the chubby bald man with large ears turned over to glare at Lucas hostilely.
“Punk, who do you think you are? How dare you poke fun at me?” He squinted sinisterly, making his eyes look even smaller than the rest of his chubby face.
Lucas looked at the two of them embracing each other in an unsightly manner and gibed, “You two are a perfect match. The items sold in the Heavenly Pavilion aren’t bad. It’s just a pity that you two are here. It’s no wonder that you barely have any customers.”
Then Lucas looked at Jane beside him and said to her, “Your talent will only go to waste if you stay here. There’s no harm in quitting this job. Leave with me later, and I’ll give you a job way better than this. Your talent and competency won’t be trampled on by these tacky, vulgar, and repulsive people.”
Lucas didn’t decide this on a whim.
Through his brief contact with Jane just now, he could tell that, despite being a fresh graduate without much work experience, she was a woman of principle and wouldn’t let societal norms sway her. Even her horrid work environment in the Heavenly Pavilion, due to Kylie abusing her authority as a supervisor, didn’t dull her talent and nature.
Lucas now owned many companies. And seeing Jane, he felt a strong urge to nurture her because he felt that a capable and principled person like her would definitely have a better time working in any company he owned than staying here.
Lucas’s words made Jane extremely surprised and touched.
Although she wasn’t familiar with him and didn’t even know if he was telling the truth or not, his words resonated with her thoughts.
She had also decided deep down that if she continued staying in the Heavenly Pavilion under the control of Kylie and the general manager, she would never be able to develop further and get ahead in life. In fact, even her values and views would be ruined here.
“Alright, thank you in advance, Mr. Gray!” Jane beamed with joy while facing Lucas.
After hearing their conversation, Kylie was about to hit the roof. The chubby middle-aged man next to her also seemed extremely displeased, and he hollered, “Dream on! Jane, don’t forget that you’re still an employee of the Heavenly Pavilion! Besides, did I say I would let you two leave?”
The elevator door opened, and more than ten strong and burly men clad in security uniforms walked straight to the middle-aged man. The leader of the guards stood in front and said respectfully, “Mr. Frey, I heard that someone is causing trouble here. Please give us your instructions!”
The chubby manager immediately pointed at Lucas smugly. “This is the troublemaker! Catch him, teach him a hard lesson, and throw him out! In the future, the Heavenly Pavilion definitely won’t allow this man to appear here again. Beat him up every single time he appears!”
When Frey said this, his expression was extraordinarily domineering, and it was as if he was the owner of the Heavenly Pavilion, or rather, the leader of the entire world.
“Yes, Mr. Frey!” The security guard leader immediately agreed and pointed at the ten or so bodyguards. “Did you hear what Mr. Frey said? Seize this punk immediately!”
“Stop it! I’ll see which one of you dares to touch him!”
Just as one of the security guards was about to take action, a furious voice came from behind, and a figure hurriedly rushed over from the elevator.
The voice immediately drew the attention of all the people present.
A young wealthy scion around 27 or 28 years old and clad in an immaculate, high-end suit was storming toward them. He had two elite bodyguards who seemed intimidating and unapproachable following him from behind.
Frey shuddered, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face when he heard the voice. He pushed Kylie away from his arms and scurried toward the young man. With a fawning smile, he asked, “Mr. Parker, why are you suddenly here? Had I known earlier you’d be here, I would have gone downstairs to receive you…”
“Get lost!” the young man roared angrily and pushed Frey away before striding straight toward Lucas.
Then amid everyone’s shocked gaze, the scion lowered his head, bent forward, and said to Lucas respectfully, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gray. I failed to take my subordinate in hand, and he ended up offending you. Please forgive me!”
This scene made everyone’s jaw drop!
Not only were Jane and the other salespeople of the Heavenly Pavilion shocked, but even Kylie’s eyes were wide open. Frey was full of disbelief, as if he was hallucinating.
A… noble scion actually behaved so respectfully and politely toward this shabbily dressed young man. He even sounded so sorry and deferential!
What a fantastical world!
Lucas was the only one who kept a straight face in the Heavenly Pavilion. He merely raised his eyebrows with a slight hint of surprise.
Reason being, the young man currently standing in front of him and apologizing to him with utmost respect was none other than Kenneth, the scion of the Parker family.
Recalling how Kenneth had coveted his wife, Cheyenne, when he was in LA and even went against him several times, Lucas felt amazed that Kenneth was now standing in front of him in fear, as if Lucas was going to punish him.
But it was a matter of course. After all, the Parkers had already pledged allegiance to Lucas, and the helmsman, Damon, had also become one of his most powerful subordinates. What more a junior like Kenneth?
What surprised Lucas was that Kenneth owned the Heavenly Pavilion.
Suddenly, a sharp and shrill voice that was getting uncontrollably louder because of extreme astonishment rang out beside them.
“Mr… Mr. Parker, are you… mistaken? Lucas Gray isn’t a big shot at all. He’s just a good-for-nothing freeloading off of his wife! I’m his former college classmate, and I can’t be clearer about what kind of a person he is. You must have mistaken him for someone else!
“Otherwise, Lucas Gray has deceived you by telling you that he’s some big shot. You mustn’t be fooled by him!” Kylie yelled hysterically, unable to control her expression and emotions.?Lu-Lucas Gray is clearly just a good-for-nothing and a bottom feeder of society. Why would the chairman of the Heavenly Pavilion, the scion of the Parker family, be so respectful and polite toward a loser?
“Shut up!” Kenneth, whose face was terrified and panicked, immediately shouted in anger.
He turned his head to glare daggers at Kylie. “Who do you think you are to speak to me? How dare you slander and insult Mr. Gray? You deserve to die! Security, drag her out immediately! No matter what her previous position was, she’s now dismissed from the Heavenly Pavilion!”
