Even though Kenneth detested Lucas, Stanley was standing right in front of Lucas, so he had no choice but to succumb!

Wealthy scions of LA like them were all very clear of how terrifying Stanley was. He was a formidable killer whom even Kenneth's grandfather didn't dare to provoke, let alone Kenneth himself.

"Oh? You're the scion of the esteemed Parker family. Yet you're getting on your knees and apologizing to me?" Lucas mocked with derision to get back at them.

Kenneth's face was extremely gloomy, with fear and chagrin written all over it.

He initially planned to use this dinner to get his hands on Cheyenne. But in the end, he didn't even touch her hand but instead offended Tyron and Matthew successively. He even almost had his limbs broken with a crowbar by Tyron. Now, he had also offended Lucas and the terrifying killer Stanley!

But at this moment, Kenneth was full of hatred and resentment toward Nikki. It's all this woman's fault for repeatedly telling me that Lucas Gray is just a good-for-nothing, causing me to belittle him and disregard him.

But now, Stanley Ray is standing in front of him and protecting him. He's so respectful toward him too. Is this the power and authority that a good-for-nothing can have?

In fact, Kenneth even began to wonder if Lucas had something to do with the sudden destruction of the Brookes.

After all, the Brooke family's guardian, Stanley, was now openly protecting Lucas!

But even after racking his brains, Kenneth still couldn't figure out just which top family had the last name 'Gray'. Could he be from a wealthy family in another state?

Beside Lucas, Cheyenne was shocked to see that the two scions of wealthy families who had just been all haughty and condescending were now on their knees to beg Lucas for mercy. She fell into a daze, as it all seemed so surreal to her.

Lucas doesn't seem to have done anything at all. Why did the two of them suddenly get on their knees?

Is it because of this lanky middle-aged man who suddenly appeared?

Cheyenne wasn't from LA, and the Carter family's status was too low, so she had never heard of Stanley before.

Moreover, she didn't know that Lucas had arranged for Stanley to come here and protect Charlotte and her since a long time ago.

Since Stanley had always been protecting them in secret and had never appeared in front of them before, Cheyenne naturally hadn't met him yet and was completely unaware of his existence.

For example, Stanley didn't suddenly appear because Lucas had called him. But rather, it was because he had been secretly protecting Cheyenne.

As opposed to the baffled Cheyenne, Nikki was horrified to see this situation!

In Nikki's opinion, the Parkers, a top family in LA, were already extremely powerful and impressive. Thus, Kenneth became her target. Even if she couldn't become his lover, she would try her best to become his closest friend. So she had sacrificed her cousin Cheyenne and was bent on helping Kenneth sleep with her no matter what.

Today, Tyron, yet another formidable scion of a top wealthy family, appeared again. His family was even more powerful than the Parkers, and they could easily subdue the rich scions of LA, including Kenneth, who had also kneeled down to him.

Thus, Tyron became the most impressive scion in Nikki's heart. But unfortunately, Tyron didn't have any interest in her. So she could only continue trying to offer Cheyenne to him to win his favor, hoping that she could one day get close to him.

But the two top scions in her heart were both now kneeling to her good-for-nothing cousin-in-law like dogs!

It was simply too shocking and unbelievable!

Nikki's eyes were wide open as she refused to believe the truth.

"No… This isn't true… How is this possible?" Nikki was screaming hysterically in her heart, and she couldn't help muttering her thoughts.

Kenneth's eyes were full of immense hatred the moment he heard Nikki's voice! This bitch is to blame for giving me the wrong information and misleading me, causing me to end up offending this bigwig, Lucas Gray!

As soon as he thought that Nikki was the reason for his current predicament, Kenneth's heart was full of anger.

"Lucas, what happened today was actually all planned by this bitch, Nikki Heron! I didn't know who Miss Carter was at first, but Nikki Heron kept tempting me, saying that she wanted to give her cousin to me! She even… asked me for a villa in exchange for her help. She deliberately set up this dinner with the intention of drugging your drink to make you pass out before sending your wife to me!"

Boiling with fury, Kenneth immediately revealed the plan that he and Nikki had devised previously. And he even took the opportunity to put all the blame on Nikki. "I didn't plan to go against you at first, but this woman kept brainwashing me and telling me that you're just a… a pushover. She even said that you're not worthy of her cousin at all. That's why I became muddled and made all these mistakes!

"Lucas, I've indeed done something wrong, but the culprit is this woman! You mustn't let her off the hook easily!"

As soon as Kenneth said this, Nikki immediately turned deathly pale. She was in complete disbelief, looking as if she had been struck by lightning.

She never expected that Kenneth would actually take the initiative to come clean about everything and put the blame on her!

She had done all of these things for Kenneth and for the sake of getting into his good books! How can he sell me out and betray me like that?

While Nikki was panicking and at a complete loss for what to do, Cheyenne looked at Nikki's face that had somehow become unrecognizable to her and was utterly heartbroken.

Although she had learned of how heartless Nikki was and that Nikki had never seen her as her cousin before, Cheyenne never thought that the culprit of all this was Nikki, who had been deliberately trying to please other men at the expense of her dignity. Nikki even went so far as to collude with Kenneth and devise such a vicious scheme against her!

If Lucas hadn't been careful and wary enough to refuse to drink the drugged glass of wine, their plan would have succeeded, and Cheyenne would have probably already become Kenneth's plaything by now!

If that had happened, she would have woken up to a bleak future tomorrow!

Had she been defiled, she would have been too ashamed to continue living.

Nikki's plan was extremely vicious, and she was clearly out to force Cheyenne to death!

Cheyenne was so sad and enraged that she began trembling from head to toe as large drops of tears rolled down her cheeks. She broke down and hollered furiously, "Nikki Heron, you're not human at all! I'm your cousin. Did you forget how I protected you and took care of you since we were children? When you were in college, who was the one who scrimped and saved money for you time and time again? Yet you're treating me like this now. Can you call yourself a human!"

Lucas was heartbroken and distressed to see Cheyenne like this. He put an arm around her to give her his silent support.

But at the same time, Lucas glanced at Nikki hostilely with disgust.

The look in his eyes immediately made Nikki shiver. It was as if she had fallen into an ice cellar!

Lucas's gaze was just too unnerving!
