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

Chapter 620: Each Harboring Ill Intentions

Lance, at the side, couldn’t help trembling after hearing Lucas’s warning.

He initially merely wanted to use the power of the Smiths’ expert to get rid of Lucas in one fell swoop. However, not only did he fail to get what he wanted, but he ended up offending Lucas again.

Wendy and Roy had the powerful Smith family behind them, and they could return to DC and stay far, far away. Lucas wouldn’t be able to exact revenge on them either. But the Kingstons’ roots were in San Francisco, so if Lucas wanted to take revenge against them, they would have nowhere to run!

When Lance thought of this, a look of extreme fear appeared on his face.

After struggling for a while, he finally couldn’t bear the tremendous pressure in his heart and got down on his knees in front of Wendy. “Mrs. Smith, please save the Kingstons!”

Wendy was taken aback.

Logically speaking, Lance was her ex-husband’s father, so she should see him as her former father-in-law. Although she disliked him, he was on in his years, and it was a fact that she found it hard to accept it when she saw him suddenly kneeling in front of her.

“Wh-what are you doing? Quickly get up before you say what you want!” She hurriedly reached out to pull Lance up.

Lance stood up, still looking as worried as ever. With a pleading gaze, he begged, “Mrs. Smith, at this point, the Kingstons are about to face a huge crisis soon. You’re the only one who can save us!

“When Lucas Gray came to cause a stir in our home previously, he warned us not to go against him again, or he definitely wouldn’t let us off. He even threatened to kill all of us! Now… now that we’ve provoked him, he definitely won’t spare us!

“Mrs. Smith, no matter what, Moses and Marc used to be part of the Kingstons, and we’re all family members. Now, you’re the only one who can save us! Please don’t leave us in the lurch!”

Two lines of tears streamed down his wrinkled face, making him look incredibly miserable.

Roy was afraid that his aunt would agree, so he quickly stopped her, “Aunt Wendy, don’t listen to him! The feud is between the Kingstons and Lucas Gray to begin with. What’s it have to do with us? Now that Lucas Gray is so powerful that even Master Eli is no match for him, what can we do?

“In my opinion, we shouldn’t get involved in this mess! Otherwise, even we won’t be able to save ourselves!”

Then he glowered at Lance again and cursed, “Old fogy, you offended Lucas Gray yourself and couldn’t deal with him, so you tried to drag us all into this, huh? You’re really evil. How shameless of you!”

Wendy didn’t say anything, but countless thoughts rushed through her mind.

In fact, the reason she came to San Francisco this time was entirely for Moses and Marc.

She had been so in love with Moses back then that she had secretly concealed her identity and went through painstaking means to hide her family background just so she could get together with him. She had even gotten pregnant with his child.

But later on, Lance’s vehement refusal forced Moses to leave her while Wendy’s parents reprimanded her in disappointment and demanded that she get an abortion before marrying someone else.

In the end, she agreed to her parents’ request to accept the marriage they had arranged for her on the condition that she could give birth to the child. She then secretly sent the child away so that none of the Smiths could find out his whereabouts.

In order to protect Marc and Moses, she never once returned to San Francisco over the last three decades or so. But every single day, she would secretly wonder to herself about how they were doing. When she missed them badly, she would have a trusted confidante secretly come to San Francisco to find out about Marc and Moses’s situation to relieve her longing for them.

But she never dared to make it too obvious because she knew that once she revealed any hints, the Smiths would definitely take action against both Moses and Marc as soon as they found out. Besides, her current husband would definitely not tolerate the fact that she had had a child out of wedlock.

Thus, day by day, she waited and looked forward to hearing about them. But she suddenly received the news of the sudden and unexpected deaths of both Moses and Marc.

Wendy was on the verge of losing her mind after hearing the news.

Therefore, she no longer cared about anything else and simply found a random excuse to take her nephew over to San Francisco with her, where she embarked on her pursuit for the truth of the matter and carried out her plan to avenge Moses and Marc!

But she didn’t expect that her most powerful bodyguard, Eli, wouldn’t be a match for Lucas at all.

From a rational point of view, she should indeed give up retaliating against Lucas for the time being and rush back to DC as soon as possible so as not to arouse the suspicions of the Smiths and her husband in any way.

But if she gave up just like that, her ex-husband, Moses, and her son, Marc, would have died in vain.

The thought of the two people she loved having now turned into cold corpses while the culprit who killed them was still living freely was completely intolerable for Wendy!

“Okay, Mr. Kingston, you have my word. I promise to help your family and do everything I can to get rid of Lucas Gray!” Wendy said decisively.

Lance was immediately overjoyed at her words, and the furrows on his face eased up while he thanked her profusely.

But Roy’s face suddenly turned sullen, and he advised earnestly, “Aunt Wendy, calm down! I’m not even going to take revenge on Lucas anymore, so why do you want to get yourself embroiled in this mess? Lucas Gray is a martial arts expert, and we don’t have anyone who can deal with him!”

“I’ve already made up my mind, so just do as I say! Also, you are not to breathe a word about this to our family. Otherwise, you know full well what I can do to you!” Wendy looked at Roy coldly, her eyes full of determination.

Roy was startled by the rarely-seen gaze of indifference in her eyes. But he knew that she wasn’t an ordinary person, and the things she had done in the past were simply ruthless and vicious. Thus, he never dared to offend her even though she had already moved out after getting married.

“We can’t tell the rest of the family either? Aunt Wendy, why exactly do you want to do this? Could you have some other hidden reasons?” Roy asked in bewilderment.

“Shut up. You’d better not ask about things that you shouldn’t!” Wendy chided sternly.

“Okay… I know.” Roy nodded calmly and agreed, but he was full of disbelief.

He thought that his aunt was probably out of her mind for insisting on going against Lucas. He wasn’t planning to stay behind and be buried here with her.

He decided that once he left, he would find an opportunity to leave San Francisco immediately and go back to the Smiths’ home in DC. He would, of course, tell the authoritative figures, such as his parents and the family head, about Wendy’s actions.

While thinking about this, he failed to notice that Wendy had already seen through him and the emotions he was showing on his face because he had never been able to hide his feelings well.
