Chapter 610: Questioning on the Streets
After hearing what Lucas said, both Jordan and Maddy were surprised.
But the two soon understood what he meant and didn’t refute. Instead, they inched closer to each other and seemed to be a compatible couple.
Roy immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at Lucas with a threatening expression. “Punk, what did you just say? Whose missus did you say she is? Who’s a couple?”
Lucas pretended to look at him in shock, “I’m talking to my buddy and his girlfriend. What does it have to do with you? Who are you?”
Roy flew into a rage, reached out to point at Lucas, and cursed, “Punk, what are you babbling about? This woman is my fiancée! My property!”
Maddy couldn’t bring herself to listen any longer and sneered. “When did I become your property?! As I said earlier, I don’t know you at all, and I haven’t heard of any engagement. Go elsewhere if you want to look for a fiancée! Don’t drag me into this!”
“Maddy, do you know what you’re saying? My marriage to you was decided by our families! From the moment our marriage was arranged and settled, you were already my fiancée!
“But now, you’re admitting that you’re this punk’s girlfriend, and you’re getting all touchy with him here. You’re provoking my dignity as a man and the pride of the Smiths! If this gets back to DC, I’ll see how you can explain it to our families!”
“What’s there to explain? I’ve never agreed to be engaged to you at all, and the idea of an unmarried couple is even more ridiculous. So why should I give you an explanation?
“There is no relations.h.i.+p between you and me. Who I’m willing to be with has nothing to do with you either!”
Maddy was so enraged that she simply held onto Jordan’s arm and looked at Roy provocatively.
When Roy saw Maddy’s actions, he was boiling with rage, and he felt a strong urge to go forward and chop off the arm she had wrapped around Jordan’s arm.
Maddy’s words made him feel humiliated and that his dignity had been trampled on.
He had clearly told her that she was his property, but she actually had the audacity to disobey him and openly behaved physically intimately with another man in front of him. It was a blatant insult to him!
“Very well! Maddy Stone, aren’t you afraid that what you’re doing now will bring your family a great deal of trouble? As long as I tell my parents about what happened today, they won’t be willing to suffer the loss. When the time comes, your family will be doomed! Let’s see how you’ll make it up to me and admit your mistakes in front of me then!”
He mentioned his family, one of the eight great families in DC, to threaten Maddy. He seemed full of certainty, clearly because he was sure that Maddy’s family would definitely be pressured by the Smiths into forcing her to apologize and admit to her mistakes.
Maddy was so livid that her face turned pale.
Just before she was about to speak, Lucas suddenly said, “So, you’re relying on your family’s power and forcing her to marry you, huh? What else do you know apart from using your family to compel others?”
Lucas’s words were full of contempt.
He really did despise these arrogant and incompetent scions.
If Roy had taken a fancy to Maddy and truly pursued her in his own manner, Lucas might not have said much.
Although he hoped that Jordan could get what he wanted and be with Maddy, he also respected Maddy’s choice.
But Roy was acting in a way that made Lucas feel disgusted.
He looked at Maddy with a revolting possessiveness in his eyes, and as soon as he spoke, he said that Maddy was already his fiancée and even openly treated her as his own property. He compelled her by saying that she couldn’t resist because their families had already agreed to it.
Lucas absolutely hated people who treated others as objects of trade without any respect at all and only knew to threaten others by leveraging on their family’s power.
Maddy was a unique and wonderful woman with outstanding medical skills. If she really fell into the hands of a vulgar and incompetent person like Roy, she would be completely ruined!
Lucas would never allow such a situation to happen!
Immediately after hearing what Lucas said, Roy flew into a rage as if he had been poked in the lung.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Do you know who I am? I am a Smith, a member of one of the eight most powerful families in DC. We can easily crush you to death with just the lift of a finger. Yet you’re so arrogant in front of me. It seems that if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t know how incompetent you are!” Roy roared furiously and then ordered the two bodyguards behind him. “Go catch him and beat him up! It’s best to knock out all of his teeth. Let’s see what he can say in a bit!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguards behind him immediately obeyed the order and walked directly toward Lucas.
But as soon as they started to move, Lucas’s body suddenly swayed and disappeared in front of them!
The next second, he appeared directly in front of Roy and grabbed his neck.
“Mr. Smith!” The two bodyguards were instantly astonished and horrified!
Lucas was so fast that even these two bodyguards, who prided themselves on being top experts, didn’t see his movements at all. They only felt a strong gust of wind pa.s.sing by them, and the next second, he appeared in front of Roy.
These two were the bodyguards that the Smiths had specially a.s.signed to Roy. If something happened to him, they definitely wouldn’t end up well either!
The faces of Roy’s bodyguards turned pale, and one of them shouted at Lucas, “Quickly let go of Mr. Smith!”
“Hmph!” Lucas sneered and tightened his grip on Roy’s neck, causing Roy’s eyes to roll backward. “If you don’t want him to die, get lost now!”
In an instant, his voice seemed to blast into the minds of these two bodyguards like a thunderous roar, causing them instantly to turn ashen and take several steps backward while breaking out in cold sweat.
Only then did they realize that the young man in front of them was far more powerful than them!
Lucas choked Roy in one move, causing him to have trouble breathing. He had long peed in his pants out of fear.
Lucas stared at him coldly and suddenly sneered.
“You actually want to marry Maddy by force? On what grounds?
“Your family is one of the eight big giants in DC and can crush me to death with just the lift of a finger, huh? I wonder who’s the one being strangled now.
“I just said that the people who leverage only on their family’s power are garbage. People like you are worse than tras.h.!.+
“You want to marry Maddy and teach me a lesson? Are you worthy?”
Lucas’s questioning was like thunderbolts striking Roy’s heart.
