Chapter 119: Succumbing and Apologizing

Countless shiny coins poured down, turning the hundreds of square meters lobby into a sea of coins that was impossible to traverse.
This scene was extremely shocking and indescribable!
Daniels was astonished, and an indescribable sense of horror surged in his heart.
To be able to get around 800,000 dollars worth of coins delivered within an hour was definitely not something that ordinary people could do!
Even Daniels’s proprietor, the owner of the Opulence, could never do it!
Aston was also looking at Lucas and everything in front of him in utter astonishment.
He had always thought that Lucas was just an ordinary live-in son-in-law of the Carters and that he was unworthy of Cheyenne.
Even when he saw the Douglas brothers apologizing to Lucas, he still felt that there must have been some misunderstanding in between. He even implied to the Carters that the apology was meant for him.
However, everything Lucas did today made Aston feel that he had misjudged and that Lucas was not as simple as the loser that the Carters made him out to be.
“There’s a total of 830,000 dollars worth of coins here. One of you gets 450,000, and the other gets 380,000. Get your shares yourselves,” Lucas said indifferently.
Daniels smiled awkwardly. “Ah, you are really… generous.”
At the side, Aston hurriedly said, “Mr. Gray, it was all a misunderstanding before. Since I now know that Mr. Carter is your father-in-law, how can I still have the cheek to ask you for the money? Just take the money as a gift.”
If William were still there, he would have been overwhelmed with joy after hearing Aston’s words.
However, Lucas was not like William, and he didn’t take the 380,000 dollars seriously at all. Of course, he wouldn’t accept Aston’s ‘kind intentions’.
“What do you have to do with my family? Mr. Brooke, are you so generous that you’d easily give away 380,000 dollars to anyone? If that’s the case, I reckon everyone here is blessed. How many people can you give money to?” Lucas sneered.
After Lucas said that, the numerous people in the surroundings stared at Aston with intense gazes in their eyes, as if they were hoping that he would really give them 380,000 dollars.
Aston coughed and hurriedly said, “Mr. Gray, you must be joking. I was merely thinking that since we are relatives, there’s no need to bother about that money.”
When Scarlet saw how polite Aston was to Lucas, she interjected in disgruntlement, “Aston, why are you being so polite to him? Cheyenne’s family was kicked out of the Carters a long time ago, and we are no longer relatives with them. Why should we give them 380,000 dollars for no reason? Besides, this good-for-nothing even got a truck full of coins here. He’s obviously out to make things hard for us. He’s too mean!”
Scarlet was shallow and failed to realize how terrifying Lucas was.
“Shut up!” Aston roared furiously. He raised his hand and slapped her face ruthlessly. “Is Mr. Gray someone a bitch like you can insult as you please? You’re just a brainless and shameless bitch. You’re so stupid that there’s no cure for you! Hurry up and get lost. I don’t want to see you again! You want to marry into the Brookes? Dream on!”
Scarlet’s face was already swollen after Jordan slapped her twice. Now that Aston had slapped her again, her face became even more swollen and now resembled a pig’s head.
Hearing Aston’s insults, many of the people present burst into laughter.
However, not many sympathized with Scarlet.
They felt that she deserved to be slapped.
Scarlet was about to lose control of her emotions. Aston saying that she couldn’t marry him made her flustered.
She rushed forward to hug his thigh while weeping miserably. “Aston, don’t abandon me! I’ve already given everything I have to you! I came here today to help you…”
“Shut up, bitch!” Aston immediately slapped Scarlet several times again to interrupt her, causing her mouth to bleed. He even kicked her hard to vent all his anger.
Scarlet Wright, you brainless woman! You almost said that the reason we’re here at the Opulence tonight is to trick William Carter and help me hook up with Cheyenne and Charlotte Carter. You almost let the cat out of the bag.
If Lucas Gray finds out, I’ll die!
I almost got killed by this bitch!
“Mr. Gray, this woman has been pestering me. From today onward, I have nothing to do with her anymore. Please don’t misunderstand me,” Aston hurriedly said to Lucas after interrupting Scarlet.
Lucas snorted coldly. These two are just dogs biting each other. He wasn’t interested in them at all.
He turned to look at Daniels. “As I said earlier, we’ll settle one thing at a time. I’ve returned you the money my father-in-law owes, with interest. Now, it’s your turn to give me an explanation.”
Daniels was immediately exasperated.
He thought that since he had already given Lucas an out, Lucas would drop the matter. However, he brought it up again.
The explanation Lucas wanted was undoubtedly for Daniels to atone and apologize for injuring and humiliating William.
But if Daniels really did that, it would be a shame on him and the Opulence.
However, when Daniels saw Lucas’s calm and composed expression that seemed to contain terrifying power, as well as the burly man beside him and the pile of coins, Daniels unclenched his fists.
“Sorry, Mr. Gray. I failed to train my subordinates well and caused your father-in-law to be injured. In order to express our apology, we won’t take any of the money that Mr. Carter owes, and we’ll treat it as compensation for him instead. What do you think of that solution?” Daniels said through gritted teeth.
Discretion was the better part of valor.
Seeing how adamant Lucas was being, Daniels knew that this matter wouldn’t blow over without some bloodshed.
Daniels did think about beating Lucas into submission. But Wade and Jordan crippling more than ten henchmen previously made Daniels realize that Lucas was definitely not someone who could be subdued by force. Lucas might even kill them too!
Who would dare to provoke such a terrifying man?
Daniels’s submissive apology immediately left everyone around them in shock!
