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

The impact of the hard slap made Sharon cock her head to the side, her face even more swollen than before. There was even blood dripping from the corners of her mouth.

The people around them immediately gasped and exclaimed in shock.

They didn’t expect Lucas to really slap her with so much force.

However, no one criticized him for using so much force or for slapping a woman. They had all witnessed Sharon’s behavior from the beginning and felt that she deserved it. She hurled vulgarities and even insulted someone else’s parents. Who would be able to stand that?

“Ah! Who told you to slap her?” Karen dashed toward Lucas and gave him a hard slap on his face before berating menacingly, “Loser, do you know who she is? I painstakingly got her to agree to let us off, but you slapped her again. You deliberately want to give us a hard time, don’t you? You’re such a jinx!”

Then Karen hurriedly ran to Sharon, bowed, and apologized. “Ah, Madam, we really didn’t mean to offend you. This good-for-nothing just has a death wish. You can do whatever you want to him later, but please don’t blame us. We don’t know him. We have nothing to do with him!”

Sharon spat a mouthful of blood on Karen’s face and hollered, “Idiot! Do you take me for a three-year-old? You’re telling me that you’re not related to him? Who would believe you?! Don’t worry. None of you will get away! I won’t let any of you off! Just wait to die!”

Sharon covered her stinging cheek and barked hysterically in rage.

Karen was furious yet terrified. She could only vent all her anger on Lucas as she pounced on him and started hitting and pinching him. “It’s all your fault, you good-for-nothing! It’s your fault! Do you have something against us? You just had to come and harm us, huh? Hurry up and apologize to her! Ask for her forgiveness even if you have to kneel on the ground! Do you hear me?”

“Enough!” Unable to tolerate it any longer, Charlotte forcefully pulled Karen’s hand away from Lucas’s arm.

“Mom, you’re always like this. You like bullying the weak, but you fear the strong! We’re getting bullied by outsiders, yet you want us to give in and allow myself to get slapped. What’s wrong with Lucas defending me? Why do you have to force him to get on his knees and apologize to someone else? Since you’re so capable, why do you have to make your family members take the blame?”

Infuriated, Charlotte glared at Karen with bloodshot eyes. She had really had enough!

“Y-you wretched girl…” Karen was enraged by Charlotte’s words, and she was just about to snap back at her, but she suddenly heard a gloomy voice.

“Who had the audacity to slap my wife?” The voice belonged to a bespectacled middle-aged man who was leading more than ten burly men over. When the surrounding people saw this, they immediately scattered and stood far, far away from them, for fear that they might get implicated.

Karen was so frightened that she started shivering, and her legs turned into jelly.

Oh, no! That woman’s husband is here, and he even brought so many people over. We’re dead meat!

What should I do?!

“Hubby, you’re finally here! I almost got bullied to death!” Sharon immediately leaped into James Wilson’s arms and bawled loudly as if she had been mistreated.

Wilson took a look at his wife’s reddened, swollen face and the disheveled state that she was in and flew into a rage.

It wasn’t as simple as a slap on his wife’s face. It was an insult to him and his family!

“Okay, okay, don’t cry. Tell me who exactly had the guts to slap you, James Wilson’s wife? I’ll kill him!” Wilson said with a menacing expression.

Sharon raised her head and was about to point out the three people in front of her. But to her surprise, Karen suddenly interjected, “Mr. Wilson, I know who slapped your wife!”

Ignoring the reactions of the people around her, she stretched out a finger and pointed at Lucas. “It was him! He was the one who slapped your wife just now and even caused her to bleed! He’s inhumane!”

Not only was Charlotte shocked, but even Sharon was dumbfounded and couldn’t recover from it for a moment.

Lucas sneered in his heart. If not for the fact that Karen was Cheyenne’s mother, he would have long stopped tolerating her.

The people observing from afar found Karen’s behavior extremely shameless.

Karen was actually the one who started it, yet she made her daughter take Sharon’s punishment. Now, she even identified her son-in-law as the one who hit Sharon and shirked all responsibility.

What a weirdo!

Wilson followed the direction that Karen was pointing in and immediately recognized Lucas when he saw his face. He exclaimed in shock, “It’s you?!”

Previously at the kindergarten, Wilson was kicked by Lucas while his underlings were all hospitalized after Jordan beat them up. Since then, he had been holding a grudge against Lucas.

Previously at the Brilliance Corporation, Wilson tried to use Dominic Carter to suppress Lucas and make Lucas get on his knees to apologize to him but failed to do so. In the end, he even got humiliated by Flynn Davis of the Stardust Corporation and was kicked out.

He hadn’t gone to settle scores with Lucas yet, but Lucas had already slapped his wife and provoked him!

There was now a new feud on top of the previous one. Wilson was glaring at Lucas with immense hatred. He really wished he could get someone to kill him!

When Karen saw that Wilson was focusing all his attention on Lucas and that the matter seemed to no longer have anything to do with her, she hurriedly pulled Charlotte over and whispered, “Let’s hurry up and go while all the attention is on that loser!”

Charlotte shook off Karen’s hand and looked at her with utter disappointment. “Mom, how can you do that? He’s your son-in-law and my brother-in-law!”

“So what? He can only blame himself for getting himself into trouble. If we don’t leave now, it will be too late in a moment!” Karen retorted as she reached out to grab Charlotte’s hand again.

“I’m not leaving. If you want to leave, you can go ahead yourself.” Charlotte dodged Karen and instead walked to Lucas. Although she didn’t say anything more, she let her actions do the talking, showing her intentions to stay behind and bear the burden together with Lucas.

“Silly girl, you’re going to be the death of me!” Karen was exasperated by Charlotte’s disobedience. “Forget it. If you won’t leave, I’ll go by myself.”

Then Karen really ran away on her own.

The people who were watching from afar immediately couldn’t tolerate it any longer.

“This woman really left her daughter and son-in-law behind to flee on her own! I’ve truly gotten an eyeopener!”

“There are peculiar people everywhere. We’ve broadened our horizons today. Such people really exist in this world, tsk!”

“She was the one who caused the trouble, and now she’s the first one to run away. This is absurd!”

…

Wilson didn’t bother to pay attention to Karen and kept his eyes glued to Lucas. Pointing at the ten-odd muscular men behind him, he smiled arrogantly and roared, “Hahaha, it just so happens that we ran into each other today. We’ll settle scores for everything! Don’t worry! I won’t kill you!”
