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

Chapter 443: When Are You Going To Return The Money?

The man was tall but had good proportions. His body was taut and toned, and his legs were long. The elegantly designed long trench coat fitted him incredibly well, and he looked even better than a model.

Coupled with his handsome face and chiseled features, the aura of superiority he exuded made him the center of attention.

“Wow! Who is that handsome man? Even his gait is so cool. He’s so dashing! Who is he? Is he a relative of the Turners?”

“This person looks so impressive. He’s just as cool as those domineering company presidents you see in TV shows! I wonder if he’s married. I wonder if I still have a chance. Ahhh!”

“Look at his clothes. That coat seems to be haute couture from Zegna. His outfit probably costs more than forty grand!”

“Does anyone know this person? He must be the scion of a wealthy family, right? Can I get to know him...”

...

All of a sudden, almost everyone had their curiosity piqued by the handsome and noble-looking man.

Cheyenne stared at him in shock, seemingly slipping into a trance too.

Beside her, Charlotte widened her eyes in shock while asking with uncertainty, “Is that... Lucas?”

Although she saw him almost every single day during the past few months, she almost didn’t dare to admit that he was Lucas.

“Daddy, you’re finally here!” When Amelia turned around and saw him, she leaped into his arms in pleasant surprise. He caught her steadily.

Seeing the gentle and familiar gaze in Lucas’s eyes when he was looking at Amelia and Cheyenne, Charlotte finally dared to believe that the stunning man in front of her who exuded the aura of a domineering CEO was really her brother-in-law, Lucas.

More importantly, Lucas would usually only dress in ordinary, low-key clothes and didn’t care much about his image apart from making sure that he looked neat and tidy.

However, not only was he extremely refined and elegant today, but he even deliberately styled his hair, making his aura exceptionally outstanding.

“Lucas, you’re really dashing today!” Charlotte praised sincerely.

“Your brother-in-law has always been very handsome,” Cheyenne, who was in a pleasant mood, teased and walked forward to hold Lucas’s arm.

Lucas smiled gently. When Cheyenne looked at him just now, she was almost dumbfounded and, she even praised him for being handsome, making Lucas feel that his efforts to dress up hadn’t gone in vain.

“Hah, you’re dressed to the nines. Who knows where he got those designer knockoffs from?! Besides, he’s just a freeloader. Cheyenne, I’m not trying to criticize him, but your good-for-nothing husband is too boastful for his own good. All he does is sponge off you!”

All of a sudden, someone remarked sarcastically.

Gretchen looked at Lucas with derision and even rolled her eyes.

Cheyenne’s face immediately turned sullen.

Since yesterday, the Turners, Gretchen, and Nikki had been nitpicking on Lucas, undermining him and insulting him. They even drove him out of the house.

Previously, Cheyenne didn’t fall out with them in public on account that they were relatives. But Nikki’s actions last night had utterly ruined their familial ties.

When Gretchen created trouble just now, Charlotte had retorted against her.

But Gretchen was acting like they were enemies and grasped every opportunity to mock Lucas.

Does she think we’re pushovers?’

Do they think that they can bully Lucas just because they know he’ll give in in consideration that they’re my relatives?

Cheyenne had had enough!

“He’s my husband. Even if he’s a freeloader, he doesn’t take a single cent from you. Aunt Gretchen, what right do you have to mock and insult my husband?” Cheyenne, who had always been mild-mannered and soft-spoken, suddenly lashed out unceremoniously.

This made Gretchen shocked and embarrassed.

By the time she returned to her senses and opened her mouth to teach Cheyenne a lesson, Cheyenne interrupted her and continued, “Aunt Gretchen, I still address you as my aunt not because you are an elder who deserves respect but because you’re my mother’s sister.

“Aunt Gretchen, you’ve always liked to flaunt your wealth and say that you look down on poor people. If I remember correctly, you borrowed fifty thousand from me five years ago, and later on, you even took thirty thousand from my mother. So far, you haven’t returned a single cent to us!

“Aunt Gretchen, you seem rather well-off now, right? Look at the gold jewelry you’re wearing. They must cost at least tens of thousands, right? You keep showing off your expensive clothes and designer bags that cost thousands of dollars each. You should be very wealthy, huh? In that case, when are you going to return the eight thousand you borrowed from us?”

“After all, our family is poor, and we have to make do with whatever we have. Don’t you agree, Aunt Gretchen?”

Cheyenne was deliberately being sarcastic like Gretchen had, and she was speaking so loudly that almost all the surrounding guests heard her.

In fact, when Gretchen was sitting on the ground and bawling, many of the guests who had already been ushered into the hotel rushed out to watch the show.

This was in Cheyenne’s favor because she now had a larger audience.

No one expected that Cheyenne would unceremoniously ask Gretchen to repay her loans right in front of everyone at Dylan’s wedding.

Besides, Cheyenne had always been known to be gentle and magnanimous in front of everyone, and she would rarely be so sharp-tongued and curt.

This was enough to explain how vile Gretchen was.

Otherwise, how could Cheyenne have been forced into this?

Lucas’s lips curled into a smile. He was naturally pleased with the changes in Cheyenne’s attitude.

Most of the guests were enjoying the drama, especially since it was the first time they had heard about Gretchen borrowing tens of thousands of dollars from Cheyenne and her mother but hadn’t repaid a single cent over the years. They looked at Gretchen with ambiguous gazes.

They thought that it shouldn’t be the case since Gretchen had married a wealthy man and the Herons’ business seemed to be doing well in recent years. Why would she not repay the money she had borrowed?

“Bull... bullshit! When did I ever borrow money from you? When did I ever take Karen’s money? Don’t spout nonsense!” Gretchen snapped and denied, but the panic and diffidence on her face were obvious to everyone.

But she couldn’t help it. Although due to the coercion of William, Karen had already admitted to giving her a loan in front of the closest relatives of the Turners yesterday, she could never admit to it in public!

Cheyenne sneered and was about to speak again, but her uncle Alex suddenly walked up to her and said softly, “Cheyenne, it’s your cousin Dylan’s big day today. For my sake, let’s talk about these matters in private!”

Cheyenne looked at Alex and shook her head coldly.
