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

Chapter 480: How To Decide

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Damon stood up abruptly with a huge change in expression. He blurted, “Impossible!”

“What’s impossible? Do you think the Parkers and the Owens get along that well with each other? Just think about the marriage alliance between the Parkers and the Sawyers, and maybe you’ll have the answer.

“Anyway, we’ve already handed the murderer over to you and said what we have to say. It’s up to you to decide the outcome that you want. By the end of tonight, you must give us a clear answer. Otherwise, you shall bear the consequences!”

After saying this coldly, Flynn turned around to look at Lucas and said softly, “Mr. Gray, I’ve said my piece. We can go now.”

“Wait a minute!” Damon’s mind was in a whirlwind as he had countless questions for Lucas.

He wanted to ask how Lucas found out who the real murderer of his grandson was and how he managed to discover that the Owens were the culprit.. He also wondered if this was all just a grand scheme devised by Lucas. He also wanted to ask what Flynn’s words meant and whether they could really make the Parkers the only top family in LA. Of course, what he wanted to ask more than anything else was why Lucas was doing all this and what his agenda was.

Due to the fact that there were too many questions surfacing in his mind at once, and he didn’t know which one he should ask first, Damon called out to them but was at a loss for words.

Lucas answered with a faint smile, “To tell you the truth, I need someone who will help me take charge of the affairs in LA. Even if I make the Parkers the only top family in LA, the person who has the power to make the final decision is me. In other words, if I let the Parkers rise to the top, you will have to take care of everything in LA for me.

“Once, the Brookes also pretended to pledge allegiance to me while secretly betraying me because of their lack of foresight. All of you have seen what happened to them in the end. I think Mr. Parker should be wise enough not to repeat the same mistake as the Brookes, right?”

Lucas stood up, and although he had a smile on his face, Damon somehow felt a chilliness surging from the bottom of his heart.

Damon didn’t react for a long time, even after Lucas and Flynn left.

The overnight destruction of the Brookes had left all the notable families in LA in fear. They had once speculated about the reason and eventually unanimously agreed that the Brookes must have provoked a terrifying existence, which caused them to be destroyed overnight.

Some even speculated that the destruction of the Brookes might be related to the people behind the Solar Corporation because the Solar Corporation took the documents left behind by the Brookes and took over all of the Brookes’ businesses rightfully.

Prior to this, Damon did think that Lucas might have something to do with this matter, especially since the general manager of the Solar Corporation was always defending Lucas, as well as the fact that Stanley, who used to work for the Brookes, was now following Lucas around and protecting him.

However, Damon could never have imagined that the truth would be even more shocking than he had guessed—Lucas was the mysterious and unfathomable person behind Flynn!

Furthermore, the destruction of the Brookes was indeed related to them, but it was also the Brookes who had once recognized Lucas as their master. But they ended up betraying him, which was the reason they faced such a calamity and disappeared from LA overnight!

The moment he thought of the force that Lucas might have behind him, Damon couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

If the truth was really as Lucas said, the Parkers’ behavior in the past few days was completely tempting fate!

Moreover, Damon didn’t think that Flynn was lying about the fact that the Owens were the ones who had plotted Tristan’s death. In particular, when Flynn mentioned the engagement between Tristan and Lena, Damon had a sudden realization.

Since the destruction of the Brookes, the Parkers and the Owens were the remaining two top families.

Had the Owens ever thought of suppressing the Parkers and becoming the only top family of LA? They definitely had!

Damon didn’t believe that the Owens had no qualms and intention to stop the marriage alliance between the Sawyers and the Parkers, which would create a win-win situation for both families!

Tristan’s life had been rather peaceful in the past few years. But he had been in several dangerous accidents in the last two months, during which the news and rumors of the marriage alliance between the Parkers and the Sawyers had been spreading.

Sometimes, some things might seem unassuming, but once you thought about it carefully, you would find that there were many traces and clues.

However, Tristan had always been close friends with the Owen brothers, so the Parkers had never suspected the Owens of being the culprit of Tristan’s murder.

But now, he could no longer think so!

He reckoned that his assumption of Lucas being the real murderer and attempting to seek revenge on him was also part of someone’s scheme!

If he had really done something to Lucas, he reckoned that the entire Parker family would have been destroyed by now!

Damon stood in the middle of the empty hall, his expression constantly changing with his thoughts, and he couldn’t utter a single word for a long time.

“Dad, what’s wrong with you? Is everything okay?”

After seeing Lucas and Flynn leave the Parker residence safely, Ray was displeased and wanted to ask Damon what exactly they had said. But to his surprise, Damon’s face seemed extremely sullen, and he couldn’t help but ask this question.

Only then did Damon come back to his senses, and at the same time, he made up his mind and said, “Go and call all the direct descendants here. I have something important to talk about!”

“Is it about that bastard Lucas Gray? Do you want me to get someone to go bring them back here right now?” Ray immediately asked excitedly.

“Dimwit! Just do as I say and call them here. Don’t do anything presumptuous, or I’ll break your legs!” Damon was really enraged.

Ray was incredibly frustrated and indignant, but he could only suppress his hatred for Lucas and go to call over all the direct members of the Parkers as Damon had instructed him to.

——

Meanwhile, Lucas and Flynn were on their way back.

Flynn was still rather uncertain. “Lucas, what if the Parkers end up choosing the wrong path?”

Sitting in the backseat, Lucas said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter.”

Flynn was flabbergasted for a moment, and he also quickly responded.

Lucas was not dead bent on getting the Parkers’ help, but rather, he had just gone to them out of convenience.

From the beginning, what Lucas wanted was just a family who could help him manage the businesses in LA, and it didn’t matter which family it was. If the Parkers had a death wish, Lucas could always replace them.

In fact, if not for the fact that Flynn would soon be rushing to DC to help Lucas at the Stardust Corporation headquarters there, Flynn would be completely capable of managing everything here.

Lucas looked out of the window at the passing scenery with an icy cold gaze. “But I won’t let off those who dare to use me! The Owens must die!”
