When Preston saw how bold and fearless Lucas was, his facial muscles twitched a little as he gritted his teeth with great resentment and viciousness in his eyes.

With a hypocritical grin, he said, “Hehe, why would I do that Since I invited you here, I naturally have something to discuss with you.”

He thought he had hidden his intentions well.

But being a sharp and shrewd person, Lucas had long seen through Preston.

“Mr.

Taylor, dont beat around the bush with me.

If you have anything to say, just say it.” Lucas couldnt be bothered to exchange hypocritical pleasantries with him.

He simply leaned against the couch and got straight to the point.

Seeing Lucas taking the lead in the conversation, Preston was displeased, and his face immediately turned dark.

He waved his hand, and the few scantily clad beauties sitting beside him immediately walked out of the room.

Soon, only Lucas, Preston, and a burly man who followed Preston wherever he went were the only ones left in the large private room.

Lucas glanced at the burly man and found that his muscles were bulging from underneath his clothes.

He was brawny, the skin above his joints was all covered in calluses, and his temples were also slightly bulging.

He was obviously a powerful elite personal bodyguard of Prestons.

But he was powerful only in comparison to ordinary people.

In Lucass opinion, this bodyguard was mediocre and far inferior to Stanley Ray, so he quickly looked away uninterestedly.

“Lucas Gray, I asked you about your background in the Ocean Bathhouse this morning, but you refused to tell me.

However, were in a modern society now, and its a piece of cake for me to find out who you are!

“Six years ago, you were just a poor college student who got embroiled in a scandal with Cheyenne Carter, and subsequently, you became a live-in son-in-law of the Carters.

But you soon went missing to go join the military for six years.

You were discharged only recently, and then you returned to Orange County, am I right”

Preston stared at Lucas austerely as he spoke.

At the same time, he was also closely observing Lucass expression to try and find some traces of panic or nervousness.

But he was disappointed because Lucas merely remained sitting without even frowning, as if Preston was talking about an irrelevant person.

“Hmph, I also discovered that youre one of the Huttons, so you should have been named Lucas Hutton.

Unfortunately, you and your mother were both kicked out, and you cant even keep your family name! Im right about that, arent I” There was a gloating gaze in Prestons eyes.

Logically speaking, it was unlikely for the Taylors to have found out about the family affairs of the Huttons and the incident that happened more than two decades ago.

But it could be that the Huttons also utterly detested Lucas and thus told the person who the Taylors sent to scout for information everything about Lucas.

Initially, Preston was astonished after hearing that Lucas was a descendant of the Huttons while also feeling a little scared.

After all, the Huttons were one of the eight top families in DC, and they owned businesses in various industries all over the country.

They could really be considered a whale.

If he confronted Hutton, Preston wouldnt be the only one in trouble, as he would implicate the rest of the Taylors too.

But Preston soon learned that Lucas, this so-called member of the Huttons, wasnt even considered one of them.

He not only wouldnt be able to get any help from the Huttons, but he had even ended up offending many of them.

He was really considered an abandoned member of the Huttons who had no support or backer!

If Preston could go against Lucas and suppress him, he might be able to win the favor of the Huttons, and it was even possible for him to build connections with the aloof Huttons!

When Preston thought of this, there was even more smugness on his face.

Lucas naturally knew that Preston must have had some help and encouragement from some people since he could find out so much about him.

But Lucas wasnt afraid at all.

There was no need to let someone like Preston know about the truth and whether or not he had been abandoned.

Lucas felt that he would just keep it to himself.

“Did you investigate my background and identity just to show off your subordinates great potential for becoming paparazzi” Lucas mocked indifferently.

Preston choked in exasperation and sneered.

“Hmph, Lucas Gray, stop trying to play tricks by being a slick talker to me! Who are you to go against the Taylors Listen up.

Im not a bumpkin like Joe who hasnt seen much of the world.

I wont be intimidated by your scaremongering words!”

“Oh, is that so What do you want then” Lucas asked indifferently, seemingly not giving a hoot about Prestons threats.

Preston felt like his attempts to intimidate Lucas failed every single time, and he felt no sense of accomplishment at all.

Instead, he ended up being furious.

Lucas Gray is atrocious!

Hes just a punk who got kicked out of the Huttons when he was a child.

Without no family backing him, how can he still be arrogant in front of the Taylors

Preston slammed his hand hard on the coffee table while hollering viciously, “Hmph, Lucas Gray, since you dont know any better, I wont waste my breath on you.

At the end of the day, the Ocean Bathhouse is a property of the Taylors.

Calvin Pearce was just the owner-in-name.

He doesnt have the right to sell the bathhouse at all! So if youre smart enough, give the Ocean Bathhouse back to me, and I can pretend that nothing has happened!”

As if to play along with Preston, the burly bodyguard took a step forward to approach Lucas while trying to appear as intimidating as possible.

Lucas smirked and stood up relaxedly.

He then picked up a dice from the table, fiddled with it in his hand, and said with a faint smile, “In that case, are you thinking of snatching the Ocean Bathhouse away from me”

“Im not snatching it.

I want you to return it to me!” Preston hollered smugly with great righteousness as he leaned against the couch.

The situation now was different from the morning.

Lucas was now on the turf of Preston, who also had an extremely powerful bodyguard by his side.

There were at least dozens of other henchmen outside, so Preston was confident that Lucas wouldnt turn him down!

“I see.” Lucas smiled faintly and suddenly flicked the dice that he was fiddling with.

Whoosh!

The dice suddenly emitted a loud sound as it shuttled through the air.

It then struck the spot on the wall beside Prestons head with a loud bang.

“Waah!” Preston was so frightened that he shuddered, shrieked in horror, and sprang up from the couch.

The bodyguard beside him also shielded him as if they were facing a great enemy.

The two of them stared at the spot in the wall, dumbfounded.

They saw that a huge hole had formed on the wall above the couch where Preston had sat, which was originally covered in beautiful wallpaper.

There were also several cracks in the hard concrete wall around the hole, which spread all over the wall!

There was an extremely ordinary dice embedded in the center of that deep hole in the wall!

“Mr.

Taylor, what did you just say I didnt get to hear you clearly,” Lucas said indifferently as he leaned back on the couch with a smile.
