The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 458 - Replaced With An Annoying Face

Chapter 458 - Replaced With An Annoying Face

Lucas remained silent and relaxed in his chair, as if he was an outsider that wasn't 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 couldn't 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 Flynn's behavior took him by surprise.
Although he didn't know what kind of relationship there was between Flynn and Lucas, he wouldn't let Lucas off simply because he had broken the arm of his precious son!
"Flynn Davis, you'd better stop what you're doing.. I'm afraid you won't 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 you'd be so foolish as to lose your life for an outsider, right?" Matthew's tone was extremely threatening.
It was clear what he meant: if Flynn insisted on taking Lucas's 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, "Mr. Benson, you seem to think that the Bensons are invincible, don't you? Well, I'm sorry, but I don't like to be threatened. Since you insist on getting involved, all of the Bensons' businesses in LA will also cease to exist starting today!"
Then he took out his phone again and made another call. "Get rid of all of Matthew Benson's businesses in LA!"
Flynn was directly falling out with the Bensons!
Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't believe their ears. It's 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, it's 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!
"Flynn 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, he's saying that he wants to eradicate all the Bensons' businesses in LA! Who does he think he is? He's just the general manager of the Solar Corporation!"
"In my opinion, Flynn Davis is just being complacent because he's been doing well in LA lately and turned the Solar Corporation into the biggest company in LA."
"Yes! I think he's too conceited to remember how treacherous society is! It's the esteemed Parker and Benson families we're talking about. How dare he say such things to the two helmsmen?"
"I heard that punk Lucas Gray is just the penniless live-in husband of Eddie Turner's granddaughter and doesn't have a powerful background. Flynn Davis is being too stupid by offending these two giants for the sake of someone like that!"
...
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, Flynn's actions were indeed very irrational and possibly even crazy. But Lucas knew that Flynn wasn't acting recklessly, but rather, it was because he knew that he had Lucas's 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 Lucas's 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 wouldn't be able to complete the tasks Lucas assigned to him either.
Flynn's counterattack and his immediate order to have the Bensons' businesses in LA eradicated angered Matthew, who had always been praised and highly regarded in LA.
He didn't 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, "Oh, you're very gutsy, aren't you? I'll see how you can make the Bensons vanish from LA!"
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 wouldn't 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, "It's all because of that son-in-law of yours! Dylan is my one and only precious grandson, and it's his big day today. But now, you've ruined it all! Lucas has also offended those two bigwigs. If he implicates the Turners, I won't care about the fact that you're my daughter at all. I'll surely sever ties with you and throw your family out!"
Alex rebuked resentfully, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have invited you! You've caused so much trouble and ruined our mood, as well as Dylan's wedding! Karen, I'm telling you, if Dylan can't get married today, and we end up upsetting Dylan's wife and her family, I'll make sure you compensate us with at least tens of thousands. Do you understand?"
Alex was extremely harsh and hostile, with no regard for the fact that Karen was his biological sister.
Karen opened her mouth, but she couldn't 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 didn't dare to blame her parents, brother, and family. All she could do was glare at Lucas with resentment.
In short, this is all Lucas Gray's 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?
