The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 429 - True Agenda

Chapter 429 - True Agenda

Lucas raised his head to look at Tristan, who was accompanied by none other than Elijah Owen, whom he had met before at the auction venue in Club Splendor.
At the time, the Owen brothers were following Tristan around and even tried to get Lucas thrown out of the auction venue. Unfortunately, in the end, it was the three of them who had gotten driven out instead.
But Elijah's muscular brother, Callum, wasn't around today.
Just as Lucas surveyed the surrounding situation, Tristan had already walked up to him with a hostile expression and questioned through gritted teeth, "Do you two think I'm dead?"
The young people around them began gossiping.
"Wow! Isn't Lena Sawyer the girlfriend of that handsome guy? Why is she holding another man's arm?"
"I've never seen that punk before. Who is he? How dare he snatch Tristan's girlfriend away? He's really bold!"
"I saw him arriving in a Porsche. He must be a scion from some wealthy family. Otherwise, how could he afford such an expensive car?"
"Haha, it seems we'll get to enjoy a good show later!"
...
Most of the people present were young people in their twenties, all of whom were enjoying the drama and hoping that the dispute would escalate further. Clearly, they were interested in watching the conflict between two men fighting over a woman in front of them.
Although Tristan was a close friend of theirs, it didn't stop them from enjoying the drama.
As opposed to his friends fanning the flames, Tristan was boiling with fury at the moment.
Everyone present basically knew that Lena was his fiancée and that they were about to enter a marriage alliance. Besides, he had always introduced and presented himself as Lena's fiancé.
Yet Lena was openly holding onto Lucas's arm right in front of everyone, which was blatantly insulting Tristan!
Tristan suddenly felt like he had been made a cuckold.
Faced with Tristan's questioning, Lena sneered. "I told you long ago that I have nothing to do with you, but you keep pestering me! Besides, didn't you just say that as long as I could get someone to come here and defeat you, you'd promise not to pester me again? Now that the person I'm looking for has arrived, what else do you have to say?"
She held Lucas's arm tightly.
If not for the fact that Lucas had already married Cheyenne long ago, Lena would have publicly announced to them that Lucas was her boyfriend.
Lucas raised his eyebrows. He could roughly guess what had happened, but he wasn't sure what he had to compete with Tristan in.
Looking at the numerous cars around him, he wondered if it was going to be a drag race.
Although he hadn't been to Caldo Mountain before, he had heard a little about it.
Caldo Mountain was steep, but there was a mountain road leading directly to the summit, so it was an excellent place for car racing and the favorite haunt for many rich scions who liked to drag race late at night.
Of course, accidentally driving off the cliff was a common occurrence due to the lack of protective barriers on the road. There would be news reports of traffic accidents due to illegal racing on Caldo Mountain every year.
Although racing on mountains was later officially prohibited by the authorities of LA, such accidents still occurred frequently, as the inspection and patrol staff simply couldn't stop these rich scions at all.
But if Tristan really wanted to compete with him in car racing, Lucas wouldn't be scared.
But he felt that things weren't going to be that simple.
At this moment, an extremely muscular and burly man walked up to Lucas and rebuked in a coarse voice, "Where did you come from, punk? How dare you vie with Tristan and snatch his girlfriend? You really don't know where you stand!"
His muscles were extremely solid and toned. He even got into a bodybuilding show pose and showed off his muscles in front of everyone while glaring at Lucas threateningly.
There were also three other burly men who came up quietly and surrounded Lucas.
Lena immediately sensed their animosity and hostile intentions. She yelled at Tristan furiously, "Tristan Parker, what are you trying to do? Are you going to hurt Lucas just because you outnumber him?"
Tristan smirked and chuckled obnoxiously. "Lena Sawyer, don't accuse me casually. I didn't ask anyone to make a move on him. He's just so detestable that he irked everyone as soon as he appeared. Someone doesn't like his face and wants to beat him up. What does that have to do with me?"
"You!" Lena was furious, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind as she came to a sudden realization. "I get it now! Tristan Parker, you deliberately schemed against me by purposely making me propose this bet and telling me to call someone over. You just wanted to deal with Lucas, didn't you?
"Because you know that I don't have any other friends in LA, and the only person I'd call is Lucas! So you made arrangements long ago and deliberately got these men to surround Lucas, right?!"
Lena was enraged and full of guilt toward Lucas.
Tristan spread both his palms and said defiantly, "Lena, how can you think of me like that? You were the one who called him to come here. How could I have been able to predict who you'd call? Besides, do you have proof that I arranged for these guys to be here?"
Lena was furious yet speechless.
But Lucas didn't show any change in emotion and instead even found it ridiculous.
No wonder I had a hunch that things weren't that simple. Turns out Tristan Parker was playing tricks and set this up with the sole purpose of dealing with me.
But does he really think that just these men can defeat me?
Or is this just the first wave, and he's prepared many other attacks?
But no matter how many more schemes Tristan had carefully devised against him, Lucas wasn't afraid at all.
A trace of fleeting pleasure appeared in Tristan's eyes, thrilled to see that Lena was furious.
He was clearly engaged to her, yet she vehemently refused to acknowledge their engagement and even behaved intimately with other men in front of him.
Tristan was an overly possessive person in the first place and naturally wouldn't let such a situation happen again and again.
Even if Lena didn't have any genuine feelings for him, she would still have to marry him and become his property!
"Hah, Lucas Gray, since you had the guts to touch my woman, I'll make you regret it today!" Tristan said sinisterly.
"Enough. Cut the crap. What do you want to compete with me in? Do you want to fight or race? I'm all for it, but don't compete with me in being shameless because I'm definitely no match for you when it comes to that." Lucas got straight to the chase, as he couldn't be bothered to listen to Tristan's nonsense.
Tristan immediately choked. He roared, "Fine, I was going to spare your life, but since you've said that, I won't be polite!"
"Why do you have so much nonsense to say?" Lucas rubbed his ears in annoyance and looked at Lena sympathetically. "I have to say, your father has really poor judgment when it comes to choosing a son-in-law!"
