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

This security guard had been working here for a long time, and those who could live in Moon Palace Villas were wealthy and prestigious, so they were usually well-mannered. Even those who were less cultured would pretend to be poised and cultured in front of outsiders.

Yet Karen… opened the window and barked at him condescendingly like a shrew from the streets.

Besides, the security guard was standing far away on the roadside and had merely walked over to welcome them home cordially according to the company’s instructions. He wasn’t in their way at all.

Karen’s behavior was simply a deliberate attempt to show her sense of superiority in front of the security guard.

Charlotte felt extremely embarrassed and humiliated while Cheyenne apologized to the security guard before they drove in quickly.

Karen was still unaware of what was going on as she was preoccupied with valuing the various upscale villas in her mind. From time to time, she would even make comments and mock those standing on the road opposite.

“Look at that fatso over there. She’s so fat, but she still gets to live in such a luxurious villa. How lucky!

“Look at that woman standing by the window sill over there. She has such a slender waist and the sultry face of a vixen. She must be the mistress of a married man. Tsk, tsk.”

Unable to tolerate it anymore, Charlotte yelled, “Mom! Stop making such a din. I’m going to get lost because of the noise you’re making!”

Only then did Karen stop.

But Charlotte really didn’t know where to go at this moment.

“Cheyenne, do we keep driving along this road? If we go farther, we will reach the lake,” Charlotte said while pointing at the map in the navigation system.

Cheyenne nodded. “Yes, just keep driving. This road will connect all the way to the lake island in the center of Pearl Lake. Lucas’s villa is on that island.”

“What?! The villa on the lake island in the center of Pearl Lake?!” Karen immediately exclaimed in surprise. She was so astonished that she almost stood up in the car.

Her sudden exclamation gave Charlotte a great shock, and the car skewed toward the side as her hands trembled violently. Fortunately, she was driving slowly and hurriedly stepped on the brakes to prevent an accident.

Before Charlotte could complain and lose her temper, Karen continued to yell loudly, “There must be a mistake! There’s only one separate villa on the island in the center of Pearl Lake. It’s a villa that occupies the entire lake island. With the lake around it, it’s definitely worth more than one hundred and fifty-five million dollars! One hundred and fifty-five million dollars!

“And when I played cards with Mrs. Jones, I heard her mention that the villa in the center of Pearl Lake was purchased by a mysterious tycoon a month ago! The road to the center of Pearl Lake is also exclusive to the owner of that villa, and it’s guarded by many security guards. Even if someone tries to barge in, they’ll be chased out!”

With a wavering heart, Charlotte glanced at Cheyenne. Although Lucas was indeed not an ordinary person and definitely had lots of secrets, the idea of him having the financial means to purchase a 155-million-dollar villa still seemed outrageous to her…

Cheyenne said calmly, “Don’t worry. The villa in the center of the lake belongs to Lucas. Just keep driving!”

Charlotte thought about it and felt that since Cheyenne had already said so, the matter had to be true. This could only mean that Lucas’s financial power was far beyond her imagination. So she started the car again without hesitation and drove straight toward the lake island.

Sitting in the backseat of the car, Karen widened her eyes in astonishment, completely unable to believe what she heard.

…

Meanwhile, Lucas made a phone call to Jordan before he drove to the Carters’ main residence.

And so, a large construction truck soon arrived at the entrance of the Carters’ main residence and blocked the gate.

The Carter residence was a manor-style villa complex. Apart from some distant relatives and William Carter’s family, the rest of the Carters’ direct descendants lived here.

Bryce’s mother, Sarah Hadley, was about to go out shopping with another wealthy lady. Dressed to the nines, she was sitting in her BMW. But when the car reached the gate, it was completely blocked by the construction truck outside. There was no way she could drive out at all.

“Are you guys blind? Do you know where this place is? It’s the entrance of the Carter residence! Who allowed you to park here? Hurry up and drive it away. Get it away immediately!”

Sarah got out of the car, stood behind the gate, and yelled at the top of her lungs while pointing at the driver of the construction truck outside.

But the driver of the truck didn’t pay any attention to her, and the other young man sitting in the front seat with one leg crossed over the other turned his head away disinterestedly after taking a glance at her. He then tossed a few coins in his hand in boredom.

Sarah was immediately infuriated that they were ignoring her, so much that she grimaced.

She was the matriarch of the Carters and the only mistress of the household, whom everyone respected, flattered, and feared provoking.

In particular, after Cheyenne’s family was kicked out by the Carters, her son, Bryce, became the next successor of the Carters since he was Dominic’s only direct grandson. So feeling like she was about to become an empress dowager, Sarah had her nose in the air, was living delightedly every day, and treated everyone condescendingly.

But this scoundrel outside actually didn’t take her seriously at all and even blocked her car!

“Hey! I’m talking to you. Can’t you hear me? Hurry up and get that stupid truck out of the way. You’re not allowed to park it here!”

Jordan simply glanced at Sarah in disdain and even snorted contemptuously.

Bastard! He clearly heard me. He did that deliberately!

Sarah was so furious that she clenched her teeth and immediately called security over. “Are all of you dead? Can’t you see that some bastard has blocked our gate with his truck? Hurry up. I want you to beat him up into a pulp!”

After the ten-odd security guards heard her order, they stopped working and rushed toward Jordan, who was sitting in the front seat of the construction truck.

Looking at the nobodies who came over to send themselves to their graves in boredom, Jordan felt extremely disdainful. He didn’t even move, but all the security guards who tried to approach him and drag him out were simply kicked by him and sent flying several meters away while shrieking in horror.

He clearly didn’t seem to have applied much force, but his legs contained an immeasurable amount of power. The security guards were blasted away and were struggling hard to get up, but they couldn’t at all.

The security guards were all put down within a few seconds, catching Sarah by surprise as she stared wide-eyed in shock. The faces of the Carters behind her turned sullen, but they dared not go forward to say anything at all.

“Hmph, a bunch of cowards,” Jordan gibed, still sitting in the front seat.
