The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 495 - Slapping Herself

Chapter 495 - Slapping Herself

Gisele didn't dare to look at Lucas again and hurriedly said to the pretty boy sitting opposite her, "We've finished eating. Let's leave quickly!"
Then she stood up with her purse in hand to leave.
Seeing how flustered she was, Lucas sneered. "Miss Taylor, we're not done with the matters here yet. You want to leave just like that?"
Gisele's face was extremely sullen, but she pretended to be calm. "Ahem, it's just a dress. Since it's ruined, I'll just get another one. I won't hold it against this woman! Let's go now!" She quickly tried to leave again.
"Hold it!" Lucas stopped her again. "Weren't you really arrogant just now? You even tried to force the two of us to eat the food scraps soiled with your saliva. You want to leave just like that?"
"What exactly do you want?" Gisele was angry and ashamed. "Lucas Gray, don't go too far! I'm an heiress of the Taylors, and now, I've decided not to hold the waitress liable. What else do you want?"
Ethan walked over and said with hostility, "Oh, the Taylors have really given you a good upbringing. Their descendant actually forced a waitress to eat soiled food on the floor of a restaurant. I'll have to ask your father just how he raised you!"
From the moment he heard Lucas's words, he had noticed the small pile of rice and food scraps beside Gisele's table.
He initially thought that the food was accidentally spilled by customers. Only now did he learn that the soiled food had been thrown onto the floor by Gisele to force others to eat it to humiliate them.
If Gisele wanted to insult others, Ethan wouldn't necessarily bother to intervene, but he would never allow her to humiliate Lucas!
Although the Sawyers and the Taylors were two of the four major families in Orange County, Ethan actually was on equal footing as her grandfather since he was the head of the family. To him, Gisele was just a junior who needed to be taught a lesson!
Gisele really didn't dare to behave tyrannically in front of Ethan. Her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to say a single word at all.
Lucas said indifferently, "According to the punishment Cleve received, I should make you gobble up this pile of food on the floor. After all, it's your masterpiece."
Gisele's expression instantly changed drastically.
What? He wants me to eat this dirty food on the floor?
I will never eat it no matter what. Over my dead body!
She was certain that if Lucas dared to force her, the Taylors would never let him off!
But Lucas also knew that she definitely wouldn't eat it, so he suddenly turned around to look at Grace.
"Grace, this woman slapped you, right?" Lucas asked.
Grace was shocked, and she instinctively reached out to place her hand on her face. She stammered, "No… no one hit me."
Although she desperately wanted to cover up, her skin was fair and tender, so the red fingerprints on her face were particularly obvious.
The reason Grace didn't dare to admit it was that she knew that Gisele was an heiress of the Taylor family. She didn't want Lucas to go against them, so she chose to subside the conflict.
Lucas's plan to let Grace slap Gisele back seemed to be impossible.
In fact, this was good too, lest Gisele held a grudge against Grace.
Lucas stopped looking at Grace and said to Gisele, "On account that you're a woman, I won't make you eat the soiled food. But since you've slapped her once, slap yourself ten times, and I'll let you go."
"What did you say?! You want me to slap myself? Are you out of your mind?!" Gisele screamed in disbelief.
Lucas sneered. "If you're not willing, I can do it myself!"
With that, he slapped his hand hard against an empty dining table beside him.
Bang!
A dent in the shape of a palm immediately appeared on the wooden dining table.
When those nearby saw this scene, their eyes were about to fall out!
As one of the most expensive restaurants in the county, the Lion Restaurant had a plethora of carefully chosen hardware and facilities.
For example, although the dining tables in the lobby weren't as good as the mahogany tables in the luxurious private rooms on the top floor, they were made of high-grade solid wood. Even if someone ground the blade of a sharp knife against the tables, there wouldn't be obvious traces.
But Lucas actually left an almost two-centimeter deep palm-shaped dent in the table with his hand. How terrifying must his strength be?!
He was just like a martial arts expert of action moves, for he had impeccable martial arts that were just too exaggerated!
Gisele, who was right in front of the table, gasped in horror and turned pale when she saw the obvious palm print on the table.
She staggered backward in horror and grabbed the pretty boy she had brought with her tightly as if she had found a straw to clutch at.
But the pretty boy was extremely timid and cowardly even though he was quite tall and muscular.
When Ethan ordered his subordinates to break the bones of Cleve and others, he merely remained sitting. He was shivering so hard that he couldn't even stand up.
But Gisele had provoked such a terrifying enemy who could easily leave a deep mark on the solid wood table. If his palm landed on his head, it would definitely be crushed like a watermelon.
The thought of the scene just now made the pretty boy so frightened that he was about to pee his pants.
Seeing Gisele grabbing his arm, the pretty boy screamed in horror before immediately shaking her hand off.
"Ah! What happened today has nothing to do with me! I-I just happened to accompany her out for a meal. The other matters have nothing to do with me, sirs!" The pretty boy cried out in fear and then ran toward the exit.
But he was just an insignificant person, so no one stopped him.
Soon, only Gisele was left standing in the middle of the lobby.
Although she seemed a bit wretched and pitiful at the moment, none of the people present sympathized with her.
Just ten minutes ago, this heiress of the Taylor family had arrogantly and overbearingly forced a waitress to eat the dirtied rice mixed with her saliva on the floor. The scene was still fresh in the minds of the onlookers.
Now that she was being made to slap herself, she brought it upon herself.
Gisele's face turned pale.
She didn't want to do such a humiliating thing as slapping herself. But if she didn't do so, Lucas's terrifying slap would land on her face. Even if it didn't kill her, it would definitely disfigure her!
Gisele's face was extremely sullen, but Lena still added fuel to the fire by mocking her, "Wasn't it really enjoyable when you slapped her just now? Now that it's your turn to slap yourself, you don't dare to do it?"
"You!" Gisele was furious, but now that Lucas had the support of the Sawyers, she had no choice but to suffer the loss!
So she could only endure her anger and look at Grace. While bearing with the grievances, she said, "Miss, previously… it was indeed my fault, and I shouldn't have slapped you or made you compensate me just because you spilled some soup on me. I hereby apologize to you!"
Then she immediately rolled her eyes up, looking as though she was being forced to bear the humiliation of apologizing.
Grace looked at her, then at Lucas, and said softly, "Lucas, I think we should just let it go."
