The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 1363 - 1363 Situation Reversal

Chapter 1363 - 1363 Situation Reversal

1363 Situation Reversal
That’s right. There were priorities. The most important thing now was not to snatch back the territories of those families struggling at death’s door but to think of a way to hold on to the olive branch that Jensen had offered and strive for greater benefits for their families!
If they could obtain the support of the Hamiltons, it would be much better than obtaining the territories of the Howards, the Huttons, and the Smiths!
After thinking this through, Derek changed his mind and decided to stay here and wait for Jensen to arrive.
“You two are right. I was really muddle-headed just now! Actually, now that I think about it, with Mr. Jensen’s help, so what if those families take back their manors and territories? When our celebration party with Mr. Jensen is over, won’t it be easy for us to clean up those few families who are already struggling at death’s door?”
!!
Rayson laughed and said, “Haha, that’s right! With Mr. Jensen around, what else do we have to worry about?”
Although he said this and had a relaxed expression on his face, he wasn’t as relaxed as he appeared.
The three manors had been snatched back at the same time. It might be Lucas Gray’s doing!
At the thought of Lucas and his half-smiling face, Rayson subconsciously trembled. He was extremely nervous, and the uneasiness and ominous premonition in his heart was even stronger.
The three of them sat silently in the spacious and luxurious private room with a panoramic view. The tea on the table had already turned cold. Another half an hour passed, but Jensen still didn’t appear, nor had he gotten anyone to send word to them.
Rayson looked down at the watch on his wrist from time to time. Finally, he couldn’t sit still anymore and said anxiously, “Erm… It’s been a long time. We’ve been waiting here for almost two hours. Is Mr. Jensen still not done with his work? Or… did he encounter an accident?”
Derek and Greg were no longer as relaxed as before. They also felt that something was amiss.
Logically speaking, since Jensen had asked them to wait for him at the Capital International Hotel, even if he was late because of something, he shouldn’t be two hours late.
Moreover, even though Jensen hadn’t arrived after so long, he didn’t send a subordinate to send a message either. It was indeed too strange.
Derek frowned, stood up, and paced around the private room. Finally, he turned to Greg and said, “Greg, you’re our elder, and we’re all willing to listen to your opinion. Do you think we should call Mr. Jensen to inquire about the situation and see where he is now? I think it’s most appropriate for you to make this call!”
Greg’s face stiffened, and he immediately scolded Derek for being treacherous in his mind.
The three of them were clearly very anxious, and they had the contact information left by Jensen. But the problem was, was this dignified scion of the Hamiltons someone they could contact casually?
What if he disturbed Jensen and made him unhappy? Wouldn’t it be his responsibility?
Derek clearly wanted to call Jensen to ask about the situation, but he didn’t dare to call him himself. Instead, he encouraged Greg to call Jensen. Did Derek really think that he was a fool?
Greg said unhappily, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. What kind of person is Mr. Jensen? How can I call him to rush him? If you dare, then you can call him yourself!”
Hearing this, Derek was speechless.
After all, Greg had lived for more than 70 years, so he was very capable in dealing with people. Seeing Derek’s unhappy expression, he softened his tone and added, “I think we shouldn’t worry over nothing. What kind of person is Mr. Jensen? He naturally won’t encounter any danger. Since he asked us to wait here for him, we’ll just wait patiently. There won’t be any problems!”
Rayson opened his mouth. “That might not be…”
But before he could finish, Greg interrupted him. “Rayson, are you suspecting that something happened to Mr. Jensen? You have to know that you’re questioning the strength of Mr. Jensen and the Hamiltons!”
Rayson shut his mouth awkwardly and mumbled, “How would I dare to question the strength of Mr. Jensen and the Hamiltons? I… I’m just a little worried. Forget it. Just pretend that I didn’t say anything.”
Thus, no one dared to bring up calling Jensen again.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the private room was completely different from earlier.
The three of them each had their own thoughts and were no longer in the mood to chat. They sat there in silence, staring at the time on their watches.
But even this situation didn’t last long.
Bang!
The Williams’ butler pushed open the door of the private room again and rushed in. This time, his face was deathly pale, as if he had been greatly frightened. He stumbled to Rayson’s side and reported in horror, “M-Mr. Williams! Bad news! Pete Howard brought a large group of people and attacked us! They have a lot of people and many experts. The… the Williams…”
Due to extreme nervousness and fear, the butler couldn’t finish.
Rayson’s eyes were red with anxiety. He grabbed the butler’s collar and asked angrily and anxiously, “How are the Williams?! Hurry up and tell me!”
“The Williams’ manor… has already been conquered by the Howards!”
Boom!
It was like a thunderclap had suddenly exploded in Rayson’s ears, causing him to be in a daze and his eyes to be blank.
Rayson never expected that after the Howards took back their manor, they still dared to attack and take down the Williams’ manor in such a short period of time!
This kind of thing… How was this possible?!
Rayson shook the butler by the collar and roared fiercely, “Bastard, do you know what you’re saying? If you dare to lie to me, I’ll skin you alive! Do you hear me?”
He couldn’t believe what the butler said at all and refused to believe the fact that the Williams’ manor had been snatched by the Howards!
For top-notch wealthy and powerful families like theirs, their family territories existed in the form of manors. The manor was where the direct descendants of their entire family lived. At the same time, it represented the survival of the family.
In general, a family whose manor had been seized was about to face destruction!
The Williams were already standing at the summit of the rich and powerful in the US. More than 20 years ago, they had already become one of the eight top families in DC.
Just two hours ago, Rayson had been sitting here and talking to the other helmsmen about the future development of their families. He had thought that under his leadership, the Williams would soon embark on a path to greater heights.
But now, the butler suddenly told him that the Williams’ manor had been snatched away by the people they had defeated earlier, and the Williams were about to face the crisis of destruction.
How could Rayson accept such a huge difference?!
