Andy frowned and said worriedly, “Madam, are you trying to matchmake Miss Cheyenne with the Master of California? But the family…”
Before he could finish speaking, Florence interrupted, “Save it. My daughter is naturally the Howards’ best candidate. How can Pamela Howard compare to my daughter?”
Pamela was a female descendant of the Howards, whom they had selected to matchmake with the Master of California.
Pamela was only about twenty-five years old this year, two years younger than Cheyenne. She had also inherited the excellent genes of the Howards and was gorgeous.
In addition to having a good family background, she was beautiful and of marriageable age. Thus, Pamela was extremely popular among the upper-cla.s.s circle in DC, and countless wealthy families liked her. She had plenty of suitors who had openly confessed their love to her.
But Pamela’s standards were very high, and she had always been indifferent toward the wealthy young scions who relied on their families’ power. She was also extremely resistant to her family’s various marriage arrangements.
This time, the Howards toughened up and didn’t intend to pay any attention to Pamela’s refusal because they wanted to have a good relations.h.i.+p with the Master of California, who had an unlimited future. Instead, he instructed Florence to bring Pamela to Orange County so that she could seize the opportunity to create more chances to develop a relations.h.i.+p between Pamela and the Master of California as soon as possible.
This showed how much importance the Howards attached to the Master of California, who had popped up out of nowhere.
However, since Florence was aware of the extremely young Master of California and his promising future, she was naturally reluctant to let her niece have the wonderful opportunity to marry him.
Such a good man should be left to her daughter!
She reckoned that once the Master of California fell for Cheyenne and married her, her status in the Howard family would definitely rise since she would then become the mother-in-law of the Master of California.
Thus, no matter what, she had to find a way to make things work between Cheyenne and the Master of California!
Seeing that Florence seemed unhappy, Andy hurriedly bent forward and said respectfully, “Of course. Madam, your daughter is naturally outstanding. Everything is up to you. You call the shots!”
Only then did Florence’s face ease up a little. But she was now faced with a big problem that she had to solve before she could set Cheyenne up with the Master of California-finding out the ident.i.ty of the prestigious Master of California.
Based on the various information, all they knew was that the Master of California was an extremely young man from Orange County known only as ‘Mr. Gray’. Apart from this, there was no other information they could find about him.
An extremely bold thought suddenly flashed in Andy’s mind as he said in shock, “The Master of California also has the last name Gray… and he’s from Orange County too. Madam, do you think the Master of California could possibly be Lucas Gray?”
He mainly felt that Lucas was way too powerful!
With just one punch, he had knocked Andy backward so far, which showed that Lucas’s martial arts skills were far superior. Moreover, like the Master of California, his last name was Gray, and he was a young man from Orange County. His information seemed very similar to the Master of California’s.
Florence was dumbfounded, but a moment later, she shook her head and denied vehemently, “That’s impossible!
“Lucas Gray is just an abandoned descendant of the Huttons, and the small business in his hands is just what the Huttons had given him out of sympathy.
“On the other hand, the Master of Californi is able to command sixty-odd top forces in California and make them pledge allegiance to him. How can Lucas Gray have such great power?”
Florence would never believe this speculation.
Andy thought about it and felt that Florence had a very reasonable point.
Orange County was a large place with millions of people, and there were thousands of young men with the last name Gray. It was unlikely that there would be such a great coincidence that Lucas was the Master of California.
It seemed that he was still affected by the strength that Lucas had just shown, so he kept letting his mind wander.
“Forget it. It’s useless to keep guessing here. Let’s head to San Francisco right now and ask the Coles’ helmsman directly. These people in California are as stubborn as mules, but I refuse to believe that he’ll be so obstinate as to not tell me the true ident.i.ty of the Master of California!” Florence said with indignation. She was particularly enraged when she thought of the situation when she met the heads of a few top families earlier.
She had actually boarded a flight to Orange County this morning. Afterward, she visited the four top families in Orange County in order to find out the true ident.i.ty of the Master of California.
The helmsmen of these four families were all surprised by her sudden visit. But once she asked about the Master of California, their faces changed, and they either deliberately changed the topic or said with a bitter face that they couldn’t reveal any further information.
Even though Florence tried to shock and deter them with her family’s status, they refused to speak at all, as if the Master of California’s status was higher than her family’s. She was truly furious.
Now, her remaining hope was that the head of the Coles, the only top family in San Francisco, could provide her with some actual information!
Just as Florence took Andy and her entourage to San Francisco, Lucas suddenly received a phone call from Bruce, the former helmsman of the Hales.
“Mr. Gray, there is one thing I think I should report to you,” Bruce said. “Just a short while ago, a lady from the Howard family in DC came to pry into the matter of the Master of California. But according to your previous instructions, I didn’t say anything about you.”
When Lucas heard this, his lips curled into a strange smile. “The woman you’re talking about should be named Florence Howard, right?”
Bruce instantly replied, “Yes, that’s right. Furthermore, according to the information I just received, she also went to the Sawyers, the Wallaces, and the Taylors. But I doubt she managed to get any information about you.
“Since you ordered all of us to keep silent about you at the Elite Business Exchange, I reckon the other families won’t dare to reveal your ident.i.ty.”
Lucas nodded. “Okay, I know.”
Then he hung up.
But he was feeling rather weird at this moment.
Not long ago, he had just met Florence, who put on airs and behaved high and mighty in front of him, demanding that he divorce Cheyenne immediately.
Now, he received news of Florence asking around for information about the Master of California.
How would she react if she found out that he was the very Master of California she was looking for?
It would definitely be an exciting scene!
But at the thought of the relations.h.i.+p between Florence and Cheyenne, he was no longer amused.
Should I tell Cheyenne about this?
Lucas looked up at the logo of the Brilliance Corporation on the building not far away from him.
