The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
âAlexander Steele, enough! You keep saying that we canât offend that punk Lucas Gray, or it will bring disaster to the Steeles. But I heard yesterday that heâs just an illegitimate child expelled from the Huttons two decades ago. Thatâs what Jace, the scion of the Huttons, said himself!
âLucas Gray just knows some martial arts, and he defeated my subordinates because they were careless. Itâs not because heâs powerful!
âYou can scare others with your lies, but you actually want to deceive Grandpa. Youâre really overestimating yourself! Grandpa is the helmsman of the esteemed Steeles, and heâs not even afraid of the Huttonsâ helmsman. Why would he be afraid of an outcast of the Huttons? Do you take us for fools?â Trevor immediately retorted loudly at Alexander.
Then he added fuel to the fire by saying to Greg, âGrandpa, look. Alexander doesnât take the Steeles seriously at all. He even says that we canât afford to provoke that outcast from the Huttons. How absurd!
âThe way I see it, Alexander just wants to help that bastard who killed a direct descendant of the Steeles and humiliated the family! So Grandpa, you canât let that punk Lucas Gray off. You canât spare Alexander either!
!!
âSince he doesnât care about the lives and dignity of the Steeles and just wants to protect an outsider, heâs not worthy of being a descendant of the family!â
Trevor deliberately sowed discord so that his grandfather would kick Alexander out of the family.
In that case, he would be the only direct descendant of the third generation of the Steeles, and he would definitely become the future helmsman of the family.
âTell him to leave immediately! Tell them all to get lost!â Greg still didnât appear, but his thunderous voice was enough to show how furious he was.
Hearing this, Alexander felt immensely sad.
He had already done his best to save the Steeles.
He took one last look at his grandfather inside the villa and gave a final piece of advice, âGrandpa, thereâs nothing I can do if you refuse to listen to me, but I just hope that you will do a proper investigation on Mr. Grayâs identity before doing anything. Once you do, you will know whether Iâm trying to scare you or not.â
This was all he could do for the Steeles!
With that, Alexander turned around to leave.
Elise was standing under a large tree twenty meters away from the main residence and listening quietly. After seeing her son being kicked out of the Steeles without receiving any other punishment, she only sighed.
She had already mentally prepared herself for them to be kicked out of the Steeles for a long time. Given the way the Steeles had been treating them, she knew there would be a day this would happen.
Even without last nightâs incident, Alexander could easily lose everything and get kicked out of the family at any time because the family had already ostracized him.
Therefore, Elise didnât bother pleading because she knew that her efforts would only be futile, and Greg wouldnât change his mind.
Alexander walked out and found Elise here too. She didnât say anything. She simply held Ashely with one hand and Alexander with the other and walked away.
âAll the assets of their family of three belong to the Steeles! Seize them immediately and make sure that they leave without a single cent!â Greg yelled loudly from behind.
âYes, Mr. Smith!â The butler immediately accepted the order.
Beside him, Trevor looked smug.
He had finally driven Alexander out of the family!
After leaving the Steele residence, the guilt-ridden Alexander looked at Elise and Ashley and said, âIâm sorry, Mom, Ashley. Itâs all my fault youâve been implicated. Iâve caused you two to be driven out too.â
Elise said gently with a smile, âWeâre a family. Thereâs no such thing as getting implicated! Besides, the Steeles are too unbearable, so I donât think itâs a bad thing for us to leave.â
Ashley nodded in agreement. âYeah! Ever since Dad passed away a few years ago, the Steeles havenât been acting like our family at all! They bully us all the time and have never treated us as family. Why should we endure it and stay when weâre facing their hostile attitudes every day?
âWeâre able-bodied, and youâre so talented at business. Even if we leave the Steeles, weâll still be able to live well, even better than we did with the Steeles!
âAlthough the Steeles are one of the eight top families in DC, what does that have to do with us? Life will be better for us if we live away from them. Weâll get to be carefree and enjoy freedom without being bullied by them or facing their attitudes!â
Ashley poked angrily with a puffed face. She wasnât reluctant to leave the Steeles at all.
Alexander smiled bitterly without saying anything.
It wasnât that he was reluctant to leave the Steeles but that he didnât want them to offend Lucas and bring disaster to the family, which would make all of his fatherâs previous efforts go to waste.
But since things had come to this and he had already done his best, it was up to the Steeles to choose what to do next.
Before leaving, the three turned around to take one last look at the Steele residence, which they had called home for decades.
At this moment, a Porsche slowly stopped in front of them. The window rolled down, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. He said to Alexander, âChairman Gray sent me to pick you up.â
âChairman Gray?â
All three of them were surprised to hear this, and Alexander ran through his mind which chairman in his social circle had the last name Gray.
Wait... Gray?
Could it be?!
As if to confirm Alexanderâs conjecture, the middle-aged man smiled and said, âHeâs the chairman of Stardust Corporation, Mr. Lucas Gray.â
Hearing this, Alexander was even more surprised.
Lucas had actually sent someone to pick them up so early. It seemed he had predicted that Alexander and his family would be driven out of the Steeles. It was simply... magical!
Furthermore, they were forced to leave without a single cent. Apart from the clothes they were wearing, the rest of their belongings were detained by the Steeles, including their bank cards.
Alexander and his family could already be considered penniless with nowhere to go.
But Lucas actually sent someone to pick them up at this time. It was undoubtedly sending help when needed.
After recovering from the shock, Alexander was overjoyed and said to Elise, âMom, since Mr. Gray has specially sent someone over to pick us up, letâs go!â
