The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 394
Advertisement
As soon as Lucas said this, Kenneth's expression changed drastically!
Being blacklisted by Russell Duncan, who worked for the Kingstons, was an ultimate disgrace for the Parkers!
Besides, they didn't dare to argue with Russell precisely because he worked for the Kingstons. So they had no choice but to endure it and secretly cover up this embarrassing incident.
Yet Lucas exposed them in public!
All of a sudden, many inquisitive, curious, and gloating gazes were cast on Kenneth.
Kenneth's face was so sullen that he couldn't even bring himself to force a smile. He glared at Lucas furiously, wishing he could kill him with his gaze.
But Lucas pretended to be shocked, as if he didn't see how furious Kenneth was. "Mr. Parker, don't tell me you don't know that person. That troublemaker is Tristan Parker, and he's also from LA. He also coincidentally shares the same last name as you. Could he be from your family?"
Kenneth was livid, and he roared with a menacing expression, "Lucas Gray, you're deliberately provoking the Parkers! I won't let you off!"
Lucas sneered. "You're making it sound as if you'd let me off even if I stand here without doing anything! You've been the one looking to create trouble right from the start!"
"Fine, you've got some nerve! Let me tell you, just you wait. The Parkers will release their wrath on you!" Kenneth snapped furiously.
"Hmph, it's just the Parker family. What's the big deal?" Lucas said nonchalantly without taking the Parkers seriously at all.
Kenneth should have been even angrier, but all of a sudden, his heart was full of an inexplicable panic.
Generally, those who dared to disregard the Parkers were either too dense and ignorant to get a clear idea of the situation or simply fearless.
Given how Lucas had angered Kenneth to the point of being speechless multiple times, he definitely wasn't a fool…

Could Lucas Gray really have something to fall back on? The thought made Kenneth extremely anxious.
"Hmph, you… just you wait!" Kenneth could only issue yet another threat in the end.
Lucas glanced at him contemptuously without saying a single word. But he made Kenneth feel a hot and burning sensation in his face, as if he had been slapped.
At this moment, Kenneth saw the young woman of the Cole family who had just confronted Lucas but was now standing at the side like she was watching a show. He hurriedly said to her, "Miss Cole, as you can see, this punk is arrogant and has zero respect for anyone. Just now, he deliberately claimed that the items in this exhibition are replicas, but that's complete nonsense. He's just smearing the Coles and ruining their reputation! We must chase him out immediately!"
Kenneth was currently regretting his actions. Just now, Lucas was clearly already in trouble for offending the Coles. Yet he impatiently interjected to stand against Lucas, causing himself to end up being the target of discussion. Not only was he unable to do anything to this bastard Lucas, but he got humiliated and embarrassed unnecessarily!
Now that he had gotten the Coles involved, he had put the ball back in their court. He was eager to see if Lucas would continue being so arrogant in front of the Coles!
Kenneth devised a plan in his head to make Lucas face the Coles' wrath and suffer a loss.
But…
"Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers and order me around? I'm not your servant!" the young woman of the Cole family chastised Kenneth mercilessly.
"Uh…" Kenneth was dumbfounded.
It… it was completely different from what he had imagined!
The surrounding people also seemed to realize that the young woman particularly disliked Kenneth… Including the previous time, she had already rebuked him twice.

Seeing Kenneth being scolded, his top defender, Nikki, immediately stood out and interjected righteously, "Miss Cole, you must have misunderstood Kenneth! He was just putting forward a minor suggestion for the Coles. After all, this exhibition is organized by your family, and in case someone with an ulterior motive sneaks in to wreak havoc, your family will be the one to suffer!"
"Shut up!" the young woman interrupted Nikki hostilely. "Stop saying that it's for the Coles' sake. You think I can't tell that you two clearly have a feud with this man, so you're trying to use me to deal with him?! I, Alexis Cole, have always been open and aboveboard. I don't like mixing matters together!
"Since he said that there are replicas in our exhibition, I'll naturally ask him about it! But you two aren't that kind either. The fact that you keep trying to incite me to chase him out just goes to show that there's something very wrong with your moral character! I abhor you two!"
After giving them a piece of her mind, she exclaimed at the people behind her, "Where is security? Immediately kick these two people out of here. I don't want to see them again!"
Nikki and Kenneth were dumbfounded. Neither of them expected that things would take such a sharp turn. They didn't expect Alexis to chase the two of them out instead of Lucas! Did we hear wrongly? Or is this world too fantastical?
But when they saw the burly security guards walking straight toward them and seemingly about to throw them out, Kenneth and Nikki finally regained their senses and realized that Alexis was serious about driving them out!
He was the esteemed scion of the Parkers, whom many in LA tried to suck up to. No one dared to provoke him at all, yet he was getting chased out in front of so many people today.
This was an absolute insult!
If other people dared to do this to him, he would have used his family's power and name to teach them a hard lesson. But the Parkers were nothing compared to the Coles, so he couldn't refute Alexis at all.
The members of prestigious families and entrepreneurs of LA standing around them were all astonished. But they didn't dare to utter a single word because Alexis was the one who gave the order.
Nikki stared at them in disbelief and yelled, "Miss Cole! Kenneth is the successor of the Parker family. Are you sure you want to throw us out?"
The hidden threat in her words immediately enraged Alexis.
"Hmph, it's just the Parker family! He's still just a scion now and not the helmsman yet. Even if the helmsman were right in front of me now, I'd tell him to get lost all the same! Don't think you guys are that big of a deal. If you get on my nerves, I can easily destroy your family! Now, get lost!" Alexis sounded extremely domineering and even seemed to have a touch of arrogance.
Although she seemed to be only in her twenties and was much younger than everyone present, no one dared to question the truth of her words.
After all, it would be a piece of cake for a giant like the Coles to annihilate the Parkers!
Finding Alexis overly tyrannical and unreasonable, Nikki bit her lower lip. "Miss Cole, how can you…"
"Shut up!" Kenneth suddenly interrupted and rebuked before Nikki could finish speaking.
"Miss Cole, I'll definitely make it up to you another day for offending you with my words today!" Kenneth maintained the last touch of his rationality and tried his best to make himself seem like a gentleman as he excused himself and turned around to leave.

The Sea of Destiny
[Let me be straight with you. This is trash, like old dime store novel trash. Don't expect grandiose writing, anything profound, or much beyond being free of spelling errors. Like my profile says, it’s hopefully like a salty snack, decent and satisfying for people looking for this kind of thing (at least that's my hope). It is simple, weird, and most likely growing in ridiculousness as it rapidly escalates.] Michael just wants to get away after a rough breakup. He figures some time alone cruising on a sick jet ski will help clear his head. After a small series of mishaps he winds up as humanities last hope adrift at sea after nuclear devastation destroys the mainland. Will he be able to solve the mystery of the bowl of the ancients before nuclear winter freezes over his dwindling food supply? Who are these mysterious women he keeps meeting, and will he even care about the talents they bring to the table, or will he be too focused on how they keep ruining his carefully laid plans for survival at sea? Read this cheesy short story to see for yourself, and discover the true mystery behind the hand of fate.

Incursions
This blurb concerns Incursions book 1: Incarceration. If you could buy superhuman abilities, but they might kill you—or worse—would you do it? Ten years ago, in a world not so different from our own, people with powerful abilities appeared. The new powers were dangerous, dangerous to acquire—dangerous to have—dangerous to wield. World governments raced to find and eradicate the abilities and those who possess them while using the media to rule by fear. Whereas corporations sought to exploit the abilities for profit. Raz Owens was living the dream - a rising star at a job he enjoys, a girlfriend he loves, but it all comes crashing down when Raz disregards his late father's advice. He is pulled into a chaotic underworld of clandestine labs, shadow organizations, and super-powered criminals. Used as a human test subject in a place where few survive the day, he must last long enough to escape. His only advantage? A power that seems nearly useless—a heads-up display. Contains: monsters, violence, death, dismemberment, gamelit, superpowers, superpower consequences, good guys, bad guys, good guys who might be bad guys, bad guys who think they are good guys, good guys that might go bad, bad guys that might turn good, guns for hire, competence, incompetence, continence, incontinence, conspiracies, and some of what I just said wasn't true. This story is written in third person limited POV. That means you can expect to know many of the thoughts and inner dialog of one character, and only see the actions of other characters. This POV does include scenes without the main character, and thus the reader can and will know things the main character does not. Further, this means characters act on what they know, which is almost always less than the reader knows. Something else to know. These books do not hold your hand. If you're reading it and thinking "Gosh, why aren't 'they' doing some 'obvious' thing." Bad news. You probably missed something that explains exactly that. If you're seeking a light read that doesn't ask much of you as the reader, you're invited and very welcome to come on in, but this might not be the story for you.
