Chapter 458: Replaced With an Annoying Face
The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray
Lucas remained silent and relaxed in his chair, as if he was an outsider that wasnât involved at all.
He wanted to see how far Flynn could go.
Flynn also understood that Lucas was letting him handle the situation as he wished. Besides, Lucas was sitting right behind him anyway. Even if he couldnât deal with it, Lucas would have his back, so there was nothing he had to worry about.
Matthew narrowed his eyes.
It was the first time in recent years that he came to LA, and it was the first time he met Flynn, the new hotshot who had just risen to power in LA. But Flynnâs behavior took him by surprise.
Although he didnât know what kind of relationship there was between Flynn and Lucas, he wouldnât let Lucas off simply because he had broken the arm of his precious son!
âFlynn Davis, youâd better stop what youâre doing. Iâm afraid you wonât be able to bear the consequences of offending the Parkers and the Bensons for the sake of a penniless punk without a powerful background! I doubt youâd be so foolish as to lose your life for an outsider, right?â Matthewâs tone was extremely threatening.
It was clear what he meant: if Flynn insisted on taking Lucasâs side, he would kill Flynn.
Given the power and methods that the Bensons had employed in the past, it would be a piece of cake for them to get someone killed.
Flynn thought about it for a second before looking up with a sneer. He gibed, âMr. Benson, you seem to think that the Bensons are invincible, donât you? Well, Iâm sorry, but I donât like to be threatened. Since you insist on getting involved, all of the Bensonsâ businesses in LA will also cease to exist starting today!â
Then he took out his phone again and made another call. âGet rid of all of Matthew Bensonâs businesses in LA!â
Flynn was directly falling out with the Bensons!
Everyone was dumbfounded and couldnât believe their ears. Itâs the Bensons of San Francisco! Is Flynn Davis out of his mind? Even if the Solar Corporation can be considered the largest enterprise in LA now, itâs only a mega company. The Bensons are definitely more powerful and richer than the Solar Corporation!
Furthermore, the Bensons had a wide network of connections with the giants of LA and the support of the Coles.
In their opinion, Flynn was undoubtedly overestimating his own strength and courting death by confronting people who were more powerful than him!
âFlynn Davis must really be out of his mind, right? Just now, he said that he wants to destroy all the businesses owned by the Parkers. And now, heâs saying that he wants to eradicate all the Bensonsâ businesses in LA! Who does he think he is? Heâs just the general manager of the Solar Corporation!â
âIn my opinion, Flynn Davis is just being complacent because heâs been doing well in LA lately and turned the Solar Corporation into the biggest company in LA.â
âYes! I think heâs too conceited to remember how treacherous society is! Itâs the esteemed Parker and Benson families weâre talking about. How dare he say such things to the two helmsmen?â
âI heard that punk Lucas Gray is just the penniless live-in husband of Eddie Turnerâs granddaughter and doesnât have a powerful background. Flynn Davis is being too stupid by offending these two giants for the sake of someone like that!â
...
Everyone started whispering among themselves and even criticized Flynn, undermining him and making him out to be a worthless person. They were certain that he had to be crazy.
Only Lucas remained sitting with a faint smile as he gave Flynn a look of approval.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Flynnâs actions were indeed very irrational and possibly even crazy. But Lucas knew that Flynn wasnât acting recklessly, but rather, it was because he knew that he had Lucasâs support.
Taking advantage of the situation, being resourceful, and employing powerful means to deal with an enemy whose strength was significantly superior was an excellent quality of an outstanding person.
In Lucasâs opinion, if Flynn was still helpless against the Parkers and Bensons even with his support, there was no way he would be able to survive in dangerous situations when he went to deal with the Huttons in DC in the future. He wouldnât be able to complete the tasks Lucas assigned to him either.
Flynnâs counterattack and his immediate order to have the Bensonsâ businesses in LA eradicated angered Matthew, who had always been praised and highly regarded in LA.
He didnât expect that someone who was just the mere general manager, not the chairman, of a corporation in LA would be so defiant toward him. Not only was he not intimidated by his threats, but he even made a move against the Bensons.
Who gave him the audacity to do that? With a cold and bloodthirsty gaze in his eyes, Matthew said with a smile, âOh, youâre very gutsy, arenât you? Iâll see how you can make the Bensons vanish from LA!â
He had already developed the desire to kill Flynn.
He had already killed countless small fries with the audacity to confront him in the past, and one more wouldnât matter!
The atmosphere in the ballroom was extremely somber.
The two big bosses were visibly displeased, so no one dared to incur their wrath at this moment.
Nikki, who had just impressed Damon, was also sensible enough to keep her mouth shut at this point.
But as the host of the wedding, the Turners were full of complicated emotions.
Eddie glared at Karen with a gloomy face and chided softly, âItâs all because of that son-in-law of yours! Dylan is my one and only precious grandson, and itâs his big day today. But now, youâve ruined it all! Lucas has also offended those two bigwigs. If he implicates the Turners, I wonât care about the fact that youâre my daughter at all. Iâll surely sever ties with you and throw your family out!â
Alex rebuked resentfully, âIf I had known this would happen, I wouldnât have invited you! Youâve caused so much trouble and ruined our mood, as well as Dylanâs wedding! Karen, Iâm telling you, if Dylan canât get married today, and we end up upsetting Dylanâs wife and her family, Iâll make sure you compensate us with at least tens of thousands. Do you understand?â
Alex was extremely harsh and hostile, with no regard for the fact that Karen was his biological sister.
Karen opened her mouth, but she couldnât say a single word.
When Flynn came over to speak to Charlotte just twenty minutes ago, all the Turners and their relatives had been surrounding Karen and showering her with endless compliments. They had even urged her to put in a good word for them in front of Charlotte to get Flynn to help them, which had made Karen really smug.
But her happiness was short-lived. It had been less than twenty minutes since then, and everyone already began to turn their backs on her. They started pointing fingers at her, blaming her, and even threatened to sever ties with her.
She was really aggrieved too!
Karen naturally didnât dare to blame her parents, brother, and family. All she could do was glare at Lucas with resentment.
In short, this is all Lucas Grayâs fault!
If not for him, I would still be enjoying the compliments of my relatives instead of standing here and suffering this infuriating mistreatment!
Suddenly, several cars pulled over at the entrance of the hotel, and a group of people in suits strode in quickly.
The crowd looked over in bewilderment. Who are these people walking in now?
