Chapter 758: The Change

Meanwhile, Lucas was driving Cheyenne to Amelia’s kindergarten.
Cheyenne, sitting in the front passenger seat, kept thinking about everything that had just happened.
‘The sudden appearance of Florence out of the blue and her inexplicable actions, especially when she said “I’m your…”, were impossible for Cheyenne to ignore.
Moreover, she could tell from the way Lucas and Florence spoke that it was obviously not the first time they had met.
“Do you know the woman just now?” Cheyenne asked doubtfully.
Lucas nodded and said while driving, “Yes, I met her once yesterday. I heard she’s from the Howard family in DC, but she’s a really strange woman. It’s best that you ignore her.
Strange, this word was a completely perfect description of Cheyenne’s impression of Florence.
But since Florence was a noblewoman of the Howard family, one of the eight most powerful families in DC, there obviously wasn’t anything wrong with her brain. In that case, was there a deeper meaning behind her actions?
Cheyenne said with some concern, “But no matter what, she’s from the Howard family, one of the eight giants in DC. Yet you just threatened her like that. Aren’t you afraid she’ll take revenge on you?
“After all, she’s a Howard, and she owns the Flor Group, a Fortune 500 enterprise. Although I don’t think you’ll lose, having another enemy isn’t a good thing, right?”
Lucas merely smiled before saying, “Don’t worry. She can’t do anything to me. Your husband is no longer a pushover that anyone can bully! Besides, if she hadn’t taken the initiative to provoke you, I wouldn’t have warned her.”
A sudden warmth surged in Cheyenne’s heart. Indeed, the reason Lucas and Florence went toe-to-toe against each other was to help her get rid of this trouble.
She looked at Lucas with a gentle gaze. “Honey, I’m so happy I met you.”
Lucas smiled without saying anything else.
Anyone who wanted to take Cheyenne away from him was his enemy, even if this person was Cheyenne’s mother!
Today, he didn’t tell Cheyenne about Florence’s true identity and even stopped Florence when she was about to speak.
It wasn’t that Lucas wanted to hide the truth. But after interacting with Florence twice, he could almost conclude that she had an ulterior motive for trying to reconcile with her long-lost daughter.
Lucas would never let anyone treat Cheyenne like a pawn and manipulate her as they pleased, not even her mother!
So before finding out Florence’s true purpose, Lucas didn’t want Cheyenne to reconcile with her mother.
In his heart, Cheyenne was kind and innocent. Once Cheyenne reconciled with her mother, she would definitely have deep feelings for her. If she learned that Florence had an ulterior motive, she would absolutely fall into misery.
This had been the case with Karen too.
Therefore, Lucas didn’t want Cheyenne to feel this pain a second time.
“But I keep having a weird feeling. When I saw Florence, I found her really familiar, but I’m certain that I’ve never seen her before,” Cheyenne said in bewilderment.
Hearing this, Lucas couldn’t help tensing up. That’s probably the wonderful sense between those related by blood.
In order not to let Cheyenne dwell on this, Lucas hurriedly changed the subject. “Honey, let’s take Amelia out for some fun this weekend.”
“Huh? You want to take her out to play again? We just took her to the amusement park last week, and she still has enrichment classes on the weekend!”
“Amelia is still young, and she should have fun during her childhood. As for her interest and enrichment classes, there are plenty of opportunities for her to attend them. Besides, it’s very rare for us to go on a holiday together as a family of three.”
“.. Okay, but where are you going to take Amelia this time?”
“Let’s go to Dinosaur Valley this time, or maybe the Science and Technology Museum. You and Amelia can decide when the time comes.”
The two were soon full of excitement while discussing the weekend outing with Amelia, and Cheyenne gradually forgot about the matter with Florence.
The orange-reddish light of the setting sun shone in through the car window, casting on Cheyenne’s face and making her look gentle and beautiful.
As Lucas looked at the tender and beautiful smile on Cheyenne’s face, his heart seemed to be immersed in warm wine, making him completely intoxicated.
Such simple and happy moments was the life he wanted.
After picking up Amelia from kindergarten, the family of three happily retumed to their home at Pearl Lake villa.
But Lucas’s cell phone rang the moment he returned home.
It was a call from Edmund.
After Lucas answered the phone, his expression instantly became glum, and a strong sense of fury surged in his heart.
But he didn’t show it and instead said to Cheyenne, “I still have something to do. I have to go out.”
Only after Lucas drove his car out of the Pearl Lake villa did anger finally show on his face.
‘What Edmund said on the phone was extremely brief but extremely important.
Edmund had said that just this afternoon, one of the top wealthy families in Oregon had been exterminated by the Peerless Martial Alliance.
Oregon was right next to California, and the family that was exterminated today was the Ledger family. In terms of status, they were similar to the Coles of California.
This top family was destroyed by the Peerless Martial Association within such a short period of time.
If it was just this matter alone, Lucas wouldn’t take it seriously. After all, it happened in a neighboring state, and Lucas’s power didn’t extend that far.
But Edmund’s other news was why he looked extremely gloomy.
Edmund said that all the powerful families in Oregon had also received invitations from the Peerless Martial Association’s Oregon branch. The content of the invitation was the same as what the families of California received. Even the date was almost identical.
On the 15th of October, a martial arts competition would be held in Oregon to determine the Master of Oregon!
Both were branches of the Peerless Martial Association, and they had sent out invitations to the top families to join the competition used to determine the position of the master of the respective states.
Anyone could tell that the Peerless Martial Association was going to start a big operation!
