The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray - Chapter 1312
1312 Regret
Because numerous cars were surrounding the leisure square, it took Norman more than 20 seconds to walk over, so he didn’t have time to say anything yet.
Luther stepped forward, supported Norman’s arm, and complained, “Dad, you’re finally here! Did you hear that? This arrogant bastard dared to scold me in front of you. He even got so many people to surround us, and they also smashed my wife’s car and hit her! You can’t let him off!”
His wife also hurried over to hold Norman’s other arm and complained with tears all over her face, “Norman, your precious grandson and I were bullied terribly! This bastard has a little bastard who bullied Tommy, and they hit us. If you don’t stand up for us, who knows what else they’ll do to us!”
“Shut up!” Norman roared angrily. He slapped Luther’s wife, who was crying and complaining, instantly dumbfounding her.
Immediately afterward, he slapped Luther hard on the face.
The two loud slaps stunned everyone.
Luther’s wife was dazed for a long time before she covered her face and yelled, “Norman, why… why did you hit me?”
“Who else would I hit if not you?! You’re the source of this trouble, you jinx. Of course, you deserve to be slapped!” Norman glowered at her, wishing he could slap her again.
On the way here, he had already roughly guessed what had happened. After learning what Luther’s wife had done, he wished he could kill her on the spot.
At first, Luther had been doing a good job handling his business, but this woman had called his son over, which eventually led to him offending Lucas.
Of course, Norman blamed it on her.
Luther was completely dumbstruck by his father’s slap.
All these years, he had been showered with love by Norman because he was the only son. He had never been slapped in public before.
“Dad, you actually slapped me? What mistake did we make? This bastard and his daughter are clearly the ones at fault!” Luther said in disbelief.
“Idiot, you’ve made a huge mistake, but you’re still unrepentant? I should just beat you to death!”
When Norman saw that his son was still being stubborn, didn’t know what mistake he had made, and even insulted Lucas, he was furious and flustered. He charged over and continously slapped Luther fiercely.
Covering his face and head with his hands, Luther wailed, but he didn’t dare to hit his father back. He could only shout frantically, “Dad, stop! Stop! You should be slapping that bastard. Why are you hitting me?”
Hearing this, Norman was on the verge of vomiting blood.
He had already instructed Luther to kneel and beg Lucas for forgiveness.
However, this imbecile not only didn’t obey his instructions, but he even insulted Lucas. He was courting death!
If it wasn’t for the fact that Luther was his only son, Norman would have abandoned a fool like him and left him to his own devices long ago!
There was also Luther’s wife. She was just a brainless woman who was nothing more than a pretty face and couldn’t get anything done properly. All she did was go around forming enemies and feuds.
Even though things had already come to this, this woman still kept insulting Lucas and his child. She was just adding fuel to the fire and causing the Holmes to end up in a more miserable plight.
The more Norman thought about it, the angrier he became. He didn’t stop hitting Luther.
If it wasn’t because she was his daughter-in-law and it wasn’t appropriate for him to hit a woman, he would have beaten this idiot couple together.
Lucas coldly watched the chaos between the Holmes without saying anything.
The hundred people stood behind him neatly, exuding a silent sense of oppression.
The surrounding crowd was utterly flabbergasted by the scene before them.
They had thought that after Norman arrived, he would definitely get his people to teach Lucas a lesson. There might even be a group fight between Norman’s people and Lucas’s.
To their surprise, the first thing Norman did when he arrived was to beat his son up.
This scene was completely beyond their expectations.
Norman was slapping Luther with all his might, leaving numerous red marks on his face and causing him to wail in pain. But due to his old age, he was panting after slapping him for a while and could no longer continue.
Panting heavily, he walked over to Lucas and bowed his head respectfully. He said in a shaky voice, “I am so sorry, Mr. Gray. I failed to teach my son well. I am so sorry that he offended you!
“Mr. Gray, please spare my son once on account that the Holmes have just submitted to you! From now on, I will definitely take him in hand and make sure he doesn’t make any more mistakes!”
Boom!
As soon as he said this, everyone was thunderstruck.
What did they just hear?
Norman Holmes, the helmsman of the esteemed Holmes family, actually apologized to a young man and begged for his forgiveness?
His attitude was so deferential and cautious, as if he was afraid of offending Lucas.
They even heard the word ‘submit’. Who submitted to whom?
Could the Holmes have pledged allegiance to this young man in his twenties?
They couldn’t believe it!
Luther’s jaw dropped, and his mind went blank.
Why… why couldn’t he understand what his father said?
His wife gaped with disbelief all over her face.
But seeing Norman’s expression, she had no choice but to believe it.
Suddenly, a chill surged up straight from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, causing her to be filled with fear and horror.
Could Lucas Gray really be some big shot that even Norman has to behave deferentially toward him?
When she thought of what she had done earlier, such as slapping Lucas’s daughter, calling her a little bastard, and extorting 200 million dollars from Lucas under the pretext of compensation, her face turned pale, and overwhelming regret flooded her heart.
If she had known that Lucas was such a terrifying figure, she wouldn’t have dared to offend him and his daughter!
