Chapter 1116

What Michael said immediately made Greg feel bitter and chagrined.

In fact, before he kicked Alexander out of the family, Alexander had already reminded him to investigate Lucas’s identity and background. During the family meeting later, his brother had also suggested finding out Lucas’s identity before taking action.

But Trevor had conclusively declared that Lucas was just an outcast of the Huttons and didn’t have a powerful background. Even if they killed him, no one would stand up for him. So Greg had believed what Trevor said and didn’t bother investigating Lucas properly.

As a result, things ended up this way.

!!

Damn it.

What should I do now?

After all, Lucas had killed his grandson. If he let him off just like that, how would he explain it to his son? How would he explain it to the rest of the Steeles?

While Greg was hesitating, Florence sneered and said, “Lucas is not only Mr. Hutton’s son, but he’s also my son-in-law! Mr. Steele, since you want to harm my son-in-law, isn’t it only right for me to demand an explanation from you?”

The news made Greg even more astonished.

“Since... since when did you have a daughter? And Lucas Gray is actually your son-in-law?” Greg never thought that Florence’s son-in-law, whom his subordinate had informed him about just now, was also Lucas!

He was completely clueless about this news!

Greg didn’t even know that Florence had a daughter, so how could he possibly know that her son-in-law was Lucas?

Thinking of this, Greg felt his teeth aching a little.

He never expected that Lucas had such close relationships with the Huttons and the Howards.

Then Greg looked at Tyson, and a thought suddenly came to mind. He couldn’t help pointing at him and asking tentatively, “Mr. Smith, you... you said earlier that my family wants to harm a close family friend of yours. Surely you’re not referring to... Lucas Gray, are you?”

Tyson snorted coldly. “It seems like you’re not that muddled after all. Yes, my close family friend is Lucas Gray! If you dare to lay a hand on him, the Smiths will absolutely stand against you!”

Damn it!

It’s really him!

In that case, the helmsmen of the Huttons, the Smiths, and the Howards had all come to the Steeles’ to demand an explanation for Lucas?

What an impressive background!

For as long as Greg had lived, there had never been a time when the helmsmen of three of the eight top families of DC came forward together to demand an explanation for someone!

Lucas actually possessed so much power!

At this moment, Greg was repeatedly recalling the words Alexander had said when he had been kneeling in front of his villa. Alexander had kept saying that the Steeles couldn’t afford to provoke Lucas, so they should never try to take revenge against Lucas. Otherwise, the Steeles would face a disaster or even get annihilated.

At the time, Greg was furious, thinking that Alexander was just fooling him and making an abandoned son without a powerful background seem like a formidable figure.

Thus, he didn’t care to listen to Alexander and immediately kicked him out. Without even bothering to investigate the situation, he sent several experts to capture Lucas, planning to use Lucas’s blood to take revenge for his grandson and save the Steeles’ pride.

Only now did Greg finally understand that Alexander wasn’t trying to scare him. Rather, Lucas’s identity was indeed extraordinary.

If only one of the eight top families came today, Greg wouldn’t be afraid at all. After all, the Steeles wouldn’t lose to any one of the other families.

But Lucas had close relationships with the helmsman of three of the top eight families, and now, these helmsmen had come looking for trouble with the Steeles when Lucas hadn’t even appeared yet. This just went to show how important Lucas was to them!

It’s all that bastard Trevor’s fault. Is this the same Lucas Gray whom he claims doesn’t have any background and is only good at martial arts?

He’s really harmed me!

Now, Greg was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

He had already dispatched the Steeles’ experts.

Besides, no matter what, Lucas had indeed killed his grandson Godfrey and even forced Trevor to crawl in front of so many people. This was a blatant insult to the Steeles.

If he gave in to the three helmsmen and withdrew his order, who would take the Steeles seriously in the future?

Even the Steeles would definitely be extremely disappointed!

At the thought of this, Greg was in greater turmoil. What should I do now?

Michael narrowed his eyes coldly at Greg. “Mr. Steele, are you still bent on dealing with my son?”

Greg gritted his teeth and asked, “Mr. Hutton, even though Lucas Gray is your son, he’s just an illegitimate son kicked out two decades ago. The Huttons don’t acknowledge him at all, right? Since you’ve already abandoned him for so many years, why are you meddling in his affairs now?”

Michael frowned. “This is the Huttons’ affairs. It has nothing to do with you!”

Being rebuffed by Michael, Greg turned pale.

Lucas was clearly his illegitimate son whom he hadn’t acknowledged for more than two decades, yet he suddenly wanted to defend him. Greg thought there was something wrong with Michael!

But Greg didn’t dare to voice his thoughts out loud and looked at Florence. “Ms. Howard, you said that Lucas Gray is your son-in-law, but as far as we know, you don’t even have a daughter. How did you get a son-in-law? Surely you’re not fooling me, right?”

Florence’s face turned sullen. “I know better than you whether I have a daughter and a son-in-law. Besides, it’s my private matter and has nothing to do with you. What’s the point of fooling you about this? Mr. Steele, you take yourself too seriously!”

She sounded extremely hostile, making Greg’s face flush with fury.

Greg didn’t bother asking Tyson.

Based on what Tyson said earlier, Greg was already certain that it was basically impossible to get these people to give up the idea of defending Lucas.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If he really dared to injure Lucas, the three helmsmen would definitely become his enemies!

After hesitating for a while, Greg finally made up his mind and said, “Fine, I give up on revenge. I won’t lay a hand on Lucas Gray anymore!”

“No!” An angry voice immediately came from the side. “Dad, you can’t let him off! That punk killed my son, Godfrey. How can we let him off? We must kill him!”
