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

Chapter 437: Brothers in the Car

All Callum hoped to do now was to appease Lucas and make him bury the hatchet from the previous incident and then improve his relationship with him. But his fool brother, Elijah, had said such offensive words to Lucas again. How could he not be infuriated and want to kill this dimwit?

“Hurry up and apologize to Lucas!” Callum hollered furiously.

Elijah felt extremely frustrated, but he had no choice but to lower his head and apologize to Lucas indignantly, “I’m sorry.”

Lucas glanced at Callum. Callum was undoubtedly a smart person, but unfortunately, Lucas didn’t like people like him. “If you don’t want the Owens to be implicated, you’d better cut off all contact with the Parkers. That’s all I have to say.”

With that, Lucas turned around and drove away with Lena.

With an ambiguous gaze in his eyes, Callum watched as they gradually drove away.

Elijah had always been reckless and impulsive. When he saw that Lucas had left, he couldn’t tolerate it any longer. “Callum, what was wrong with you just now? Why did your attitude toward that guy suddenly change so drastically?”

Callum said indifferently, “I’ll tell you about it when we get home. You also have to give me a clear explanation for what you’ve done today.”

Tristan frowned in confusion. “Callum, what exactly is going on?”

Callum glowered at Tristan and said in an extremely cold and distant voice, “Tristan Parker, I won’t hold it against you for what happened today, but you and I will have nothing to do with each other from today onward. You’re on your own!”

Then he turned around and walked away.

Tristan was instantly puzzled.

He had been friends with the Owen brothers since they were little, and the trio had done countless good deeds, as well as misdeeds, together. Yet Callum suddenly wanted to sever their friendship out of the blue. Why?

Is it because I tried to make Elijah join me in going against Lucas Gray?

Is Callum really going to give up the friendship that we’ve had for so many years all because of that bastard Lucas Gray?

Tristan was almost in disbelief, but he could only watch Callum leave together with Elijah.

The other people around were all flabbergasted. There seemed to be something wrong between the scions of the two top families in LA.

They didn’t know what happened, but they didn’t dare to ask about it at all.

After Elijah followed his brother to the car, his heart filled with infinite curiosity. Before they even reached home, he frantically asked, “Callum, what’s the matter? Hurry up and tell me now!”

Since there were no outsiders in the car, Callum didn’t continue keeping him in suspense and simply said, “All you do is hang out with Tristan Parker. If I hadn’t rushed here in time, you would have probably died by now!”

Elijah panicked, but he was rather confused too. “Callum, what do you mean?”

Callum didn’t answer him directly and instead asked, “What do you think of the power of the Bensons from San Francisco?”

After giving it some thought, Elijah answered, “The Bensons are naturally very powerful. They’re now backed by the Coles, one of the top families in the state. That makes them even more impressive. Even though I don’t usually pay attention to these things, I know that the Bensons are not a family we can afford to provoke. Even if the Parkers and our family join forces, we’re still weaker than the Bensons!”

Then he tilted his head and asked with confusion, “Callum, why did you suddenly bring up the Bensons?”

Callum snorted coldly. “It seems that you know a bit about the impressiveness of the Bensons. You should be able to understand after you hear what I say.”

He continued with a stern expression, “Just over an hour ago, that Lucas Gray you look down upon broke the arm of Matthew Benson’s son, Tyron, right in front of Matthew Benson himself. He even forced Tyron to kneel down in front of him to apologize and beg for mercy. Kenneth Parker had to likewise do the same.”

“How... how is that possible?!” Elijah widened his eyes in shock, as if he had heard an unbelievable thing. He didn’t dare to believe it at all. “Callum, you must be joking. Are you talking about the impressive scion of the Benson family and that arrogant Kenneth Parker? They actually kneeled down in front of that good-for-nothing Lucas Gray and begged him for mercy?”

He felt as if the world had become fantastical all of a sudden. It was really flabbergasting!

Callum glanced at his brother and said indifferently, “Would I joke with you about something like this? This incident happened in a private room on the top floor of the Lion Restaurant. At the time, there were also many helmsmen and scions of middle-tier and top-tier families of LA in the room. They all witnessed this matter. Besides, the actual situation is actually more exaggerated and terrifying than what I described.

“Matthew Benson, the helmsman of his family, is already in his fifties, and he only has one son, Tyron. He dotes on Tyron greatly, and no one dares to offend him at all. But Lucas Gray broke Tyron’s arm tonight, and yet Matthew Benson let him leave unscathed. Do you think Lucas Gray, who could make Matthew Benson force himself to stomach this, is really just an ordinary live-in son-in-law and a good-for-nothing like you said?”

Elijah widened his mouth in shock, completely speechless.

He knew that Callum would never deceive him to make Lucas seem impressive.

At the thought of Lucas, who had appeared below Caldo Mountain more than half an hour ago completely unscathed, Elijah was even more certain of it.

It seemed that Lucas must secretly have some impressive identity. Otherwise, Matthew, who was overly protective of his son, definitely wouldn’t have let him off.

When Elijah thought about his previous feuds with Lucas, as well as the things that he and Tristan had planned to do to Lucas, he suddenly felt like his back was drenched in cold sweat while his face turned pale.

Fortunately, Callum arrived in time, and Lucas didn’t pursue the matter further either. Otherwise, Elijah would have definitely offended Lucas and ended up having his arm broken too!

Seeing how aghast and disoriented his brother was, Callum frowned. “Oh, by the way, you guys didn’t offend him tonight, did you?”

Elijah was instantly flustered and hurriedly said, “Callum, it’s not my business. What happened tonight was all arranged by Tristan, including the killer on the mountain top. It really has nothing to do with me!”

“What?!” Callum was so shocked that he stood up abruptly, but he forgot that they were still in the car, so his head was hit hard against the car roof with a loud bang.

But Callum couldn’t be bothered to care about the pain in his head. He stared hard into Elijah’s eyes while cursing furiously, “How dare you guys hire a hitman? Do you have a death wish? Do you really want to die?!”
