The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray - Chapter 1119

Chapter 1119: Taste of His Own Medicine

As his cousin, Alexander was extremely clear about how arrogant Trevor was. And the only person who could make a haughty person like Trevor kneel down in public was his grandfather.

After thinking about it, Alexander immediately figured out that his grandfather should have finally found out some things about Lucas’s background and knew that he wasn’t someone he could offend easily. So he immediately called Trevor to tell him to stop and apologize to Lucas right away.

However, Alexander didn’t expect that three other families among the eight top families of DC had approached the Steeles together and pressured them.

After all, such an event had never happened in the last two decades.

At this moment, Trevor was kneeling on the floor in humiliation, his face as pale as a sheet. He apologized to Lucas, “I… I’m sorry, Mr. Gray! I was just… blinded just now. That’s why I blurted those things in front of you… I know my mistakes now! Please forgive me!

“Just take it that I was spouting nonsense. Please don’t stoop to my level!”

Trevor’s pleas for forgiveness astonished the countless onlookers, and the sounds of discussion suddenly became louder.

Trevor’s face flushed red. He knew how unsightly he looked at the moment. In the eyes of these people, his image was definitely ruined.

But he couldn’t care less now. As long as he could gain Lucas’s forgiveness and settle this matter, other things didn’t matter!

Lucas narrowed his eyes and looked at Trevor kneeling in front of him. “You just said that you wanted me to kneel on the floor to apologize to you and admit to my mistakes. You also wanted me to crawl around the Stardust Corporation, right?”

Trevor’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, “No, no, it’s… it’s all nonsense I said! I would never dare to make you do that! Now, I’m kneeling to apologize to you! This is all my fault!”

“You also said that you wanted to break my limbs and take me back to the Steeles to dispose of me, right?” Lucas’s cold voice came from above Trevor’s head.

Trevor broke out in cold sweat. Now, no matter what, he didn’t dare to break Lucas’s limbs. Otherwise, his grandfather would definitely kick him out of the family like he had done to Alexander!

He definitely didn’t want to end up having to leave the family without a single cent like Alexander did. How could a pampered scion like him who had lived in luxury all his life tolerate that?

Trevor shuddered before frantically explaining, “Mr. Gray, I wouldn’t dare! It’s all my fault for talking nonsense. I would never dare to harm you! Please forgive me!”

Looking at Trevor, Lucas sneered. “I can forgive you, but you’ve just offended me, so I can’t let you off as though nothing has happened.

“I’m sure you’re clear of the truth that you have to pay the price for your mistakes, right?”

Trevor’s heart skipped a beat, and he tensed immediately tensed up.

He was already kneeling and apologizing to Lucas. Wasn’t this the price he paid?

At this moment, Trevor was about to shout at the top of his lungs.

But he knew that Lucas now held absolute authority.

If Lucas was determined not to forgive him and insisted on making him pay, Trevor would have no choice but to accept it.

He had already sacrificed his dignity to apologize to Lucas and beg for forgiveness. In that case, he might as well stay firm to the end. If he provoked Lucas again, his efforts and the sacrifice of his pride would be in vain!

After thinking about it, Trevor could only grit his teeth and say, “In that case… what price do you want me to pay, Mr. Gray? The Steeles can give you two… No, five million dollars as compensation for offending you this time!”

If Lucas was greedy and wanted monetary compensation from the Steeles, he would gladly accept it.

After all, the Steeles were one of the eight top families. Money was the last thing they lacked.

Although five million dollars would make Trevor feel a slight pinch, it wouldn’t mean anything as long as he could placate Lucas.

For top families like theirs, all problems that could be solved with money were not actual problems!

Although Trevor thought so, Lucas didn’t lack money at all.

A few million dollars meant nothing to him.

“Do you think I lack money?” Lucas’s cold words made Trevor freeze in shock.

Trevor gritted his teeth with all his might and continued, “In that case… if you think the amount is too low—”

“I don’t lack money, and I don’t plan to take the Steeles’ money.” Lucas interrupted Trevor without waiting for him to finish.

“I’ve always been a fair person. Just now, you said that you’d cripple my limbs. So to pay you back in your own coin, I’d like you to cripple all your limbs. I’ll let you leave then.”

“What did you say?!” Trevor’s body trembled after he heard what Lucas said, and he immediately collapsed on the floor.

Lucas actually wanted him to cripple his own limbs!

“No, Mr. Gray, I… I just made a casual comment. I didn’t really plan to cripple your limbs. Besides, I’m already kneeling and apologizing to you. Can’t you just forgive me once? Must… must you really kill me?” Trevor asked in a shaky voice while trembling all over.

“I’m not bargaining with you. If you don’t accept it, you can choose to die here.” Lucas’s words were like a bucket of icy cold water that drenched Trevor from head to toe.

Trevor absolutely didn’t want to die. But if he really had his limbs crippled, he would be an invalid from then on. That would be no different from dying.

Why is Lucas Gray so vicious? I’ve already apologized to him. Must he resort to such cruel means to deal with me?

At this moment, Trevor had completely forgotten that he had treated Lucas with an even more arrogant attitude and had similarly threatened to cripple his limbs just a few minutes ago.

He was just reaping what he sowed.

Trevor felt extremely humiliated. He even had a strong urge to order his experts to attack Lucas.

But he quickly dispelled the thought because he already understood that, based on what his grandfather said over the phone, Lucas wasn’t someone the Steeles could provoke. Even if he ordered his experts to kill Lucas, his grandfather wouldn’t let him off for bringing disaster to the Steeles!

“Mr… Mr. Gray, could you please be kind and spare me just once?” Trevor begged in panic.

Looking down at him from above, Lucas smirked coldly. “I’ve already let you off several times. If Alexander hadn’t repeatedly pleaded for you yesterday and today, you would already be dead!”
