Chapter 745 - Begging The Coles

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas StudiosLogically speaking, the sudden appearance of Cheyenne’s biological mother

was definitely good news, especially since Cheyenne had been feeling

extremely insecure after learning that Karen was not her biological mother and

that the Carters had adopted her.

Even though William and Charlotte both said that they had long regarded

Cheyenne as a part of their family and didn’t change the way they interacted

with her, Cheyenne still felt flustered.

Lucas could understand the feeling of someone not knowing where they came

from and why they had been abandoned, wandering around without being able

to find their roots.

If Cheyenne knew that her biological mother had appeared, she would

definitely burst into tears of joy!

But Florence was actually so mercenary.

Having a snobbish adoptive mother who exploited her all the time had already

made Cheyenne very miserable.

If her biological mother was also like this-constantly using her status as her

mother to get Cheyenne to do things against her wishes-then Cheyenne would

be even more miserable.

If Cheyenne knew that her mother wanted her to divorce Lucas, she would

definitely be extremely miserable.Of course, Lucas and Cheyenne had already developed a very loving

relationship over this period of time. Even if Florence demanded Cheyenne to

comply, she wouldn’t agree to it.

But she would definitely be extremely sad and miserable. Lucas definitely

didn’t want to see this.

He didn’t want the woman he loved to feel any misery at all.

The Howards.. I hope you won’t go overboard. Otherwise, I cant guarantee

what Ill do.

In the end, he still decided to hide the truth about Florence from Cheyenne for

the time being.

He didn’t want the kindhearted and sensitive Cheyenne to be miserable.

In the Coles’ guest hall in San Francisco.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Haha, Madam Howard, you’re truly a distinguished guest. It’s our honor!

Please have a seat.” Edmund chuckled and let Florence take the master seat.

After all, she was an honored guest from one of the eight most powerful

families in DC, so Edmund naturaly wouldn’t be negligentFlorence took a sip of tea. Then without saying any nonsense, she cut straight

to the chase and made her intention clear. “Mr. Cole, I won’t beat around the

bush with you. To be honest, I’m here today because there’s something I’d like

to ask you about, Mr. Cole

Upon hearing this, Edmund had a look of surprise on his face. He smiled and

said, “Your family is so powerful, while Im just an old man. What can I possibly

help you with, Madam Howard?

He obviously didn’t want to reply to Florence, making her feel infuriated.

She was clearly from the esteemed Howard family, and she was willing to

lower her pride and come to ask him a question. A family like the Coles should

have answered all her questions respectfully instead of being perfunctory.

However, once Florence thought of the fact that she was now on Edmund’s

turf, she didn’t vent her anger immediately. But her voice was much colder

than before.

“Mr. Cole, why bother being so humble? Since over a week ago, when the

Kingstons and the Walkers, who were originally the Coles’ rivals, were

eradicated, the Coles have become the most powerful family in San Francisco,

or rather, in California. As the helmsman of the Coles, what could you not

know? Mr. Cole, you just don’t want to help me.”

When she said the last sentence, a wisp of anger clearly appeared in her eyes.But Edmund simply picked up the teacup in front of him and sipped it slowly,

as if he didn’t see it at all.

In fact, long before Florence arrived, Edmund had already received news from

Bruce that she was asking around for infomation about Lucas, the Master of

California.

Since he knew her intention, and he couldn’t possibly tell her about Lucas, why

would he bother with her?

Edmund narrowed his eyes slightly and sipped on his tea calmly like an old

monk.

Florence had a gloomy gaze in her eyes as she silently glared daggers at

Edmund.

Standing behind Florence, Andy stared at Edmund with a cold gaze while

clenching his fists.

No one said anything, and the tension in the hall was palpable

After nearly one minute, Florence finally couldn’t endure it anymore a

coldly, “Mr. Cole, I just want to know one thing. Who is the Master of

Califormia?

Edmund touched his eyebrows without putting down his teacup. He merely

said indifferently, “The Master of California is the Master of California. Please

pardon me. I have no other comments.”“Edmund Cole!” Florence smacked the table and hollered furiously, “I don’t like

people beating around the bush with me! Since you know my identity, I want

you to tell me all the information about the Master of California immediately.

This concerms not only me but also the Howards! If you mislead the Howards,

your family will no longer have to exist!”

She unceremoniously mentioned the Howards to threaten Edmund.

The polite smile on Edmund’s face faded as he said with a cold expression,

“Madam Howard, is this the attitude you should have when you’re begging

someone for information?”

“Huh? The attitude of begging” Florence raised her head upward and laughed

loudly, as if she had heard an extremely hilarious joke. She said disdainfully,

“What kind of identity do I have? What kind of identity do you have? Why must

I beg you? Do you have the qualifications?

Edmund said coldly, “In that case, take your time. I won’t see you off!”

He didn’t say any nonsense and simply told Florence to leave.

Florence had never suffered such exasperation from such a minor figure, and

her hands began trembling with anger.

Behind her, Andy had a dark expression as he suddenly stepped forward and

shouted, “How dare you! Edmund Cold, how dare you be so rude to Madam

Howard? Are the Coles tired of living?Edmund simply ignored him and said coldly, “This is the Coles’ turf! It’s not

your turn to order me around here!

After he said this, several bodyguards of the Coles darted out from the corners

of the hall, all amed with pistols on their waists. They were ready to draw

anytime.

When Florence and Andy saw the bodyguards amed with guns, their

expressions abruptly changed. Lightning struck their minds as they

immediately sobered up with shock on their faces.

The Coles actually dared to get their bodyguards to surround them with guns!
