Chapter 616: Disrupting The Romance
Lance, who now needed help from the Smiths and also wanted to get closer to them, immediately agreed to do so without hesitation. “But Mr. Smith, do you know the name of that punk who had the audacity to hit you?”
Since he wanted to help Roy take revenge, he had to at least find out which impudent person it was who had dared to harm Roy.
Feeling extremely aggrieved, Roy said, “I don’t know what that punk’s full name is, but the people around him called him Lucas. He’s about the same age as me, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and 1.85 meters tall. He has quick hands! And he has a very pretty woman by his side, who seems to be his wife.”
He told Lance all the basic information about Lucas that he had obtained from meeting Lucas just now.
Although he had instructed his bodyguard to stay in Orange County and find out Lucas’s ident.i.ty, Roy had yet to receive a call from his bodyguard, so he could only describe him in such a general manner.
After Lance heard what Roy said, his expression slowly became grave and gloomy.
Lucas…
… twenty-seven or twenty-eight…
… 1.85 meters tall and fast at fighting…
… has a very pretty wife…
After piecing all this information together, a figure that he was reluctant to see immediately surfaced in his mind. No way…
While he was thinking about it, his expression became rather subtle. He seemed shocked, angry, and on the verge of tears as the corners of his mouth twitched vigorously.
Wendy acutely sensed his reactions, and she narrowed her eyes before asking with a frown, “Lance Kingston, you look like you know who that person is.”
Roy quickly looked at Lance and asked eagerly, “Do you know who that b.a.s.t.a.r.d is? Great. Who is he?”
Lance smiled bitterly. “If I’m guessing correctly, the person who got physical with Mr. Smith should be Lucas Gray!”
“What? It’s him too?” Wendy was shocked, but a look of vicious resentment and hatred soon appeared on her face. “Hmph, it seems that Lucas Gray is indeed very arrogant. He killed my…”
She looked at her nephew Roy, who was still dumbfounded and clueless. She stopped herself from saying the words ‘son and ex-husband’ she almost just blurted and rephrased it.
“… After killing my friend, he bullied my nephew. He must have a death wis.h.!.+”
With a cold expression on her face, Wendy clenched her fists tightly and meticulously tended to her broken fingernail, which was painted with red nail varnish.
“Since that person is Lucas Gray, Mrs. Smith, I think we’ll have to ask Master Eli to deal with him…” Lance said cautiously.
He had just pitted the Kingstons’ strongest combat expert against Eli, but Eli had easily defeated him. Even if Lance sent him to deal with Lucas, it would probably be futile.
Wendy naturally knew this as well. She said directly to Eli, who was behind her, “In that case, Master Eli, I’ll have to trouble you to go to Orange County and bring Lucas Gray back to me!
“Also, Mr. Kingston, send me a copy of the information regarding Lucas Gray. You should have his photos, address, and other information, right? I don’t want Master Eli to go all the way to Orange County, only to end up wasting his time on something useless.”
Eli and Lance both immediately agreed.
Soon, Eli headed to Orange County with the simple information about Lucas that the Kingstons provided.
——
At this moment, Lucas and the others in Orange County were naturally unaware of this matter.
They had just finished their meal in the Lion Restaurant and left.
Because Maddy would be leaving for DC soon, and her family was forcing her to accept an arranged marriage, the few of them were in low spirits.
In particular, Jordan seemed worried and reluctant to part with her.
Lucas glanced at him and suddenly said, “Jordan, Maddy will be leaving tomorrow. But before she leaves, you still have to protect her, okay?”
After being stunned for a while, Jordan immediately stood up straight and promised loudly, “Yes!”
He understood that Lucas was deliberately giving him this task so that he could continue to stay by Maddy’s side under the pretext of protecting her.
Even if he only had one day left, he could make his last effort to change the way Maddy felt about him…
Maddy smiled faintly without saying anything.
In fact, it wasn’t that she couldn’t sense Jordan’s feelings for her. But due to their age gap and the resistance from her family that she would inevitably face, Maddy had only ever been able to treat Jordan as her younger brother and comrade. She didn’t dare to think about anything else at all.
Soon, the two bade goodbye and left.
Lucas and Cheyenne were the only ones left by the roadside.
Cheyenne naturally held Lucas’s arm, and they were behaving just like any other loving couple.
As a bystander, Cheyenne couldn’t help feeling anxious and sympathy for Jordan and Maddy, who couldn’t tell each other their feelings and had to part ways because of various reasons.
At the same time, she also felt happy and thankful.
She looked at Lucas beside her.
More than six years ago, she and Lucas had gotten married out of a helpless compromise and not because of a sweet romance or love.
The two had been distant from the beginning, and later on, numerous events had occurred. When Lucas vanished for six years, Cheyenne had been full of resentment toward him.
So during the period of time after Lucas suddenly returned to Orange County, Cheyenne had been extremely cold toward him.
But even so, Lucas had never given up and had instead been silently protecting her and loving her through his own means, which allowed their relations.h.i.+p to develop to this stage.
The thought of the intimacy they had just shared made Cheyenne blush and her heart race.
It turned out that the feeling of being in love was really the most blissful thing in the world.
It was so fortunate that she could meet Lucas!
Cheyenne looked at Lucas affectionately, and he gazed at her adoringly.
They shared a tacit understanding through their warm eye contact, filling their hearts with sweetness.
It was still early, and it had been long since they got to enjoy some time alone. So they weren’t in a rush to go home.
Hand in hand, Lucas and Cheyenne slowly walked through the streets and alleys amid the early autumn breeze.
But their peaceful time together was short-lived because Lucas suddenly stopped in his tracks not long after they walked a bit. He turned his head to look in a certain direction with his eyes full of anger.
His rare quality time with Cheyenne was going to be disturbed by some ignorant people.
“Wh-what’s the matter?” Cheyenne was walking when she suddenly sensed something amiss with Lucas.
