The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 375 - Two Options

Chapter 375 - Two Options

In an instant, Tristan's eyes widened, his face turned as pale as a sheet, and his heart started pounding vigorously!
He never thought that Lucas would actually dare to start the car and try to run him over with it!
His fear of death instantly overwhelmed everything. Tristan moved as fast as he could, which was the fastest he had ever been in the twenty-odd years of his life, and rolled away from the front of the car wretchedly.
By the time he was lying flat on the ground with his limbs weak, he finally realized that Lucas didn't really drive his car toward him.
He had threatened Lucas first but ended up in a pathetic state because he tried to dodge the car, causing him to make a fool of himself!
Tristan turned pale and sullen.
Lucas glanced at Tristan calmly with an indifferent gaze as if he was just looking at a tiny bug by the roadside. He then drove his Jaguar, which was badly damaged at the front, and left the building where Urban Culture Co. was situated inside.
Seeing the mess Tristan was in, Lena harrumphed disdainfully and turned around to enter Urban Culture Co.
Her purpose in coming to LA this time was to discuss a business deal with the Parkers.
Although her father, Ethan Sawyer, had been hoping for her to marry Tristan in order to forge closer ties between the Parkers and Sawyers, Lena didn't fancy Tristan at all, nor did she want to use her marriage as a bargaining chip. So she intended to try strengthening the ties between the families through a normal business cooperation.
Neither Lena nor Lucas bothered to give Tristan a hand and simply left him lying on the road, all disheveled and wretched. He immediately caught the attention of many.
They were at the entrance of the building where Urban Culture Co. was, and many passersby had all witnessed what happened. So they were all looking at him with derision and contempt.
Feeling extremely embarrassed, Tristan quickly got up and roared through gritted teeth, "Lucas Gray, you bastard, I won't let you off!"
At the thought that Damon, the helmsman of the Parkers, had warned him last night not to provoke Lucas again, he felt even more disgruntled.
After provoking Lucas at Club Splendor previously, he ended up getting chased out by Russell and caused the Parkers to be barred from all auctions that Russell was in charge of in the future. On the very same night, Tristan received a harsh beating from his father.
But that wasn't all. The day after the auction, he received the news that Liam had been killed right in front of the Kingstons.
Although there was no direct evidence, everyone guessed that Liam's death must have had something to do with Lucas.
Just a few days ago, the Parkers received news that the Wallaces had requested for a top expert from the Kingstons to help them avenge Liam. But both that expert and his apprentice ended up getting murdered on the same day.
Everything seemed to be vaguely related to Lucas.
Thus, Damon summoned Tristan last night and reprimanded him harshly before warning him not to go against Lucas or confront him again.
Tristan obeyed his grandfather's instructions. But when he saw Lucas again today, he was so angry that he couldn't control himself.
To make matters worse, he had just been humiliated by Lucas once more. No matter what, he couldn't stomach this at all!
At this moment, Tristan let his anger overwhelm him and long forgot his grandfather's warning. He took out his phone and immediately dialed a number. "Elijah, that punk who offended us at the Kingstons' auction in Orange County the other day is now in LA! Since he's on our turf, we can't let him get away. Let's get revenge!"
...
Lucas drove his badly damaged car on a familiar route to the Solar Corporation office building.
When Flynn got the news that Lucas had arrived in LA, he was greatly taken aback and hurriedly headed downstairs to receive Lucas personally. Then he brought Lucas to his office on the top floor.
"Lucas, when did you arrive in LA? Please forgive me for being unable to receive you personally!"
Flynn poured a glass of water and handed it to Lucas carefully with both hands while bending forward slightly in a respectful manner.
Lucas smiled relaxedly. "It's nothing much. My wife's cousin is getting married tomorrow, and he happens to live here, so I decided to drop by and take a look while I'm here."
Only then did Flynn heave a sigh of relief. He thought that Lucas came here for a surprise inspection and was afraid he might have done something inadequate to upset Lucas.
Although he had been working under Lucas for several months now, he would still feel nervous and scrupulous whenever he saw Lucas.
After all, when they first met, Lucas had made known to Flynn that he had discovered all of his wrongdoings after a thorough investigation, so Lucas had a hold on him. Flynn also subsequently realized how terrifying Lucas was after a few interactions with him.
"How are things going in LA? Are you still facing any difficulties?" Lucas asked.
Flynn hurriedly shook his head and reported gleefully, "I'm almost done organizing all of the businesses the Brookes left behind here in LA. I've also closed down all of the vice-related businesses, as well as those with heavy losses. The remaining ones have been integrated into the Solar Corporation and are now being operated as branch companies under the Solar Corporation to facilitate easier and convenient management.
"Now, the Solar Corporation is the largest enterprise in LA, and there's no way the other families in this city can compare to us!
"But this is also thanks to Stanley Ray, whom you got to stay behind. In the beginning, there were still many families in LA coveting our companies, but Stanley did a great job in getting rid of them for me."
Flynn's voice was full of joy because he had finally successfully completed the task Lucas had given him, and he naturally wanted to claim credit now.
Lucas also understood what Flynn was thinking. After all, before he sent Flynn to LA to integrate the Brookes' former businesses, he had already said that he would arrange for Flynn to take on more important tasks in the future if he could complete this one well.
Now, Flynn had indeed lived up to his expectations and handled the matters here in LA well.
So it was also time for Lucas to honor his promise.
"How long have you been working for me?" Lucas suddenly asked.
Flynn hurriedly replied, "It's been a little over three months since you first returned to the Stardust Corporation."
Lucas nodded. "I'm very satisfied with your performance during the past three months."
As soon as Flynn smiled, he heard Lucas say, "However, three months isn't enough for you to completely become my trusted aide."
Flynn was shocked and hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Lucas. "Lucas, I have absolutely no other intentions apart from being loyal to you. Please believe in my sincerity!"
Lucas had clearly seen Flynn's performance during this period of time. It wasn't that he didn't trust Flynn, but rather, he had a greater plan in mind. So he wouldn't easily trust someone completely.
"Don't panic yet. I'll give you two options now."
Lucas looked at Flynn and said seriously, "One, I'll give you fifteen million dollars, and it's up to you to do what you want with it, be it start your own business or whatsoever. In any case, what you do in the future will have nothing to do with me.
"Two, continue to work for me. But the tasks that I will be giving you may be very dangerous, and your life might even be at stake.
"You have two options. Make your choice!"
