The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 1115

Chapter 1115: Three Families Joining Hands
Meanwhile, in the Steeles’ manor…
Greg, the helmsman of the Steeles, was lying on a lounge chair in the courtyard of his villa, listening to music and basking in the sun with his eyes closed.
This was a habit he had developed a long time ago. The colder it was, the more he liked basking in the sun.
He was very troubled by the recent incidents that had happened to his family, and he would feel a little relaxed only when he was basking in the sun in his courtyard.
But suddenly, his butler rushed in from outside and reported anxiously, “Mr. Steele! Michael Hutton suddenly barged in with a group of people and claimed that we bullied his son. He wants an explanation from us!”
“The Huttons?” Greg sat up with displeasure and frowned. “Since when did the Steeles bully Michael Hutton’s son? Did someone in the family do something to Jace Hutton?”
Before Greg could think it through, another person hurried over and reported anxiously, “Mr. Steele, Florence Howard also suddenly showed up with her subordinates and demanded an explanation from us for why we’re attacking her son-in-law!”
Greg immediately furrowed his brows tightly.
She was the daughter of Felix Howard, so he naturally knew who she was. But as far as he knew, she had returned to the Howards after becoming a widow and never remarried. So where did her daughter come from? How did she have a son-in-law?
“Who is Florence Howard’s daughter?” Greg asked with a frown.
But before his subordinates could answer him, another figure hurriedly ran into the courtyard in astonishment and exclaimed, “Mr. Steele, now even the Smiths’ helmsman is here! He wants an explanation from us for making things difficult for his family friend!”
“What?!”
Hearing that the helmsmen of three of the eight top families of DC had shown up at the Steele residence to demand an explanation, even Greg was astounded to the point of turning pale and having his heart beat wildly, not to mention the rest of the Steeles.
W-what’s going on?
If only one family had come to ask for an explanation, Greg could still order someone to investigate the matter thoroughly to find out if the Steeles had really done something wrong and whether or not it was something resolvable.
But now that the helmsmen of three families came together to demand an explanation, if the Steeles didn’t handle this well, they would face the risk of getting besieged by the three families. Who would be able to withstand this?
Greg didn’t even have time to think about anything else. He immediately stood up and dashed toward the door.
No matter what, he had to calm the three helmsmen down immediately and find out if there was a misunderstanding before resolving it.
In short, he couldn’t anger them and give them an excuse to deal with the Steeles!
When Greg arrived at the entrance of the Steele residence, he saw a large group of people gathered at the gate from afar. When he got closer, he saw that they were divided into three groups.
The group on the left was Florence and twenty-odd experts of the Howards.
The one on the right was Tyson Smith and around twenty of the Smiths’ experts.
The group in the middle was Michael and the Huttons’ experts.
There were more than a hundred of them altogether, and they were all elites of the three families.
The bodyguards that the Steeles had sent to guard the gate were already beaten up and lying on the ground, unable to get up.
When Greg saw this, his heart beat wildly, and he tensed up immediately.
It seemed they had definitely come with hostile intentions!
“Haha, Mr. Hutton, Mr. Smith, and Ms. Howard, I didn’t expect the three of you to come to the Steele residence. Sorry for my failure to welcome you well!”
Greg acted as if he did o’ see his bodyguards lying on the ground nor the formidable experts behind the three helmsmen. He simply smiled at them enthusiastically and welcomed them with a slightly deferential attitude.
After all, Tyson was the only one among the three who was about the same age as Greg, while Michael and Florence were a generation younger than him. Greg was so polite and deferential to them simply because he wanted to reduce their hostility.
Unfortunately, Greg’s plan didn’t work.
Michael looked at Greg with a cold expression and said, “Mr. Steele, we are not here for a friendly visit, so you don’t have to be so polite.”
Florence and Tyson looked at Greg coldly without any basic courtesy or pleasantry.
Greg looked awkward, embarrassed, and disgruntled.
But even then, he could only endure the humiliation because all three of them were on par with him in terms of status and power. Besides, the three of them were united against him, so he naturally couldn’t offend them.
“Haha!” Greg laughed awkwardly. “My subordinates were in a rush when they came to report to me, so I didn’t hear them clearly. May I ask why you three are here? Who are you seeking justice for? If someone from the Steele family has behaved inappropriately, I will definitely teach them a lesson!”
Michael laughed coldly. “Is that so? Lucas Gray, the person you’ve gathered your experts to deal with today, is my son. Don’t you think I should ask for an explanation from you?”
“What? Lucas Gray is actually your son?!” Greg was astonished.
He had only heard from Trevor that Lucas was an illegitimate son of the Huttons who had been expelled many years ago, but he had no idea that Lucas’s father was Michael, the head of the Huttons!
At the thought of this, Greg cursed Trevor in his heart for not making Lucas’s identity clear before this. He hurriedly explained to Michael, “Mr. Hutton, this is all a misunderstanding! I had no idea that Lucas was your son. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sent anyone to deal with him!”
Michael said coldly, “Mr. Steele, you’re pretty funny! Before you make a move on someone, shouldn’t you check their identity to make sure they’re not to be trifled with?”
