Chapter 1113: Showing Up at the Doorstep
Alexander was stunned and instantly at a loss for words.
He had really never thought that Lucas would refuse.
But this was indeed possible.
If the Steeles insisted on retaliating against Lucas, he might really just kill them.
!!
Did their family of three matter that much to Lucas?
The thought of it made Alexander’s heart sink.
But he didn’t hesitate for long before saying with a bitter smile, “If Mr. Gray refuses, then we can only leave DC and go to other places to find opportunities. At that time, the feud between the Steeles and Mr. Gray will have nothing to do with us.
“After all, we’ve already warned the Steeles and tried our best in front of Mr. Gray. If the Steeles really court death, it won’t be our fault since we’ve already done our best!”
…
After discussing the matter, Alexander immediately called Lucas. “Mr. Gray, we’ve already decided.”
“Okay.”
Soon, Lucas and Flynn opened the door of the general manager’s office and entered.
Alexander mustered up his courage and said solemnly, “Mr. Gray, as long as you agree to one condition, our family will immediately pledge allegiance to you and be at your disposal from now on!”
He looked at Lucas nervously. At the same time, Ashley and Elise also looked at Lucas with nervous yet expectant gazes. They were worried that he would be mad at them for raising a condition.
But Lucas smiled slightly and agreed without even asking what Alexander’s condition was. “Okay, I agree.”
This time, it was Alexander, Ashley, and Elise’s turn to be shocked.
Ashley blinked and asked, “Lucas, you’re agreeing before even asking us what our condition is? What if it’s something unreasonable?”
Lucas chuckled. “I trust your character, and I know that you definitely won’t go overboard with your request. Most importantly, I know what your request is. You want me to spare the Steeles. I’ll naturally agree to it.”
Ashley’s eyes immediately widened, and she looked at him in disbelief and shock, amazed that he guessed it.
Alexander and Elise were also stunned before smiling.
Indeed, Lucas was so intelligent that he could even guess that the Steels would expel the three of them, so how could he not guess what their request was?
Elise smiled faintly and said respectfully, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gray. Please feel free to give us any instructions in the future.”
She had an obvious change in tone, which showed their attitude.
From this moment on, the three of them were Lucas’s subordinates.
Lucas smiled in satisfaction. “Alright, in that case, Flynn, our general manager, will handle the following matters!”
“Yes, Lucas.” Flynn immediately agreed and glanced at Elise in excitement.
For Lucas to hand the three of them to Flynn for him to arrange, it showed that he trusted Flynn and also helped him establish some prestige in front of them.
After all, the three of them were from the Steele family, one of the eight top families of DC. They were also of the direct lineage. If not for the incident a few years ago and the suppression of the Steeles, Alexander would have been the successor, and Elise would have been the mistress of the family.
Having people of such status as his subordinates made Flynn feel pressure too.
After giving instructions, Lucas left the office and allowed Flynn to make arrangements on his own.
Flynn looked at Elise and smiled. “Speaking of which, Ms. Bale, you and I are both alumni of Georgetown University. I guess you can call this fate.”
“Oh? Is that so? What a coincidence.” Elise seemed surprised, but her expression soon became natural.
She could tell that Flynn was using this method to get closer to her so that she would be less reserved and distant.
If they were just superior and subordinate, Elise would probably find it a little difficult to get used to it, especially with her sudden change in status. But if they were alumni of the same college, their relationship would immediately become closer.
Alexander and Ashley also exchanged a few words with Flynn. After all, he was the general manager of the Stardust Corporation and their boss from now on, so it was important for them to communicate well.
But after they chatted for a bit, the secretary suddenly knocked on the door and pushed it open anxiously. “Mr. Davis, bad news. A group of people from the Steeles are downstairs and threatening to destroy the company unless Mr. Gray immediately leaves with them!”
Hearing this, Alexander and the others were shocked.
They had already expected the Steeles to retaliate against Lucas, but they didn’t expect it to be so soon!
Flynn frowned and rebuked, “There’s no need for you to panic like that! So what if the Steeles are here? Even if the eight top families of DC are here together, no one can do anything to the Stardust Corporation as long as Mr. Gray is around!”
Alexander and Elise looked at each other, both gaining confidence from what Flynn said.
This was enough to show that Lucas’s background was indeed very terrifying, so much so that he wouldn’t be afraid of the eight top families of DC even if they joined forces.
Alexander was a little worried, so he said, “I’ll go check the situation first. Mom, stay here with Ashley.”
Then he cast an inquisitive look at Flynn.
Flynn nodded without the slightest bit of nervousness or panic on his face. “Okay, go ahead. I’ll talk to Ms. Bale about your future work.”
If he was the only person in charge of the company, he might be a little scared of facing the Steeles, one of the eight top families. But with Lucas around, there was nothing to be afraid of because no one would be able to harm Lucas.
…
At this moment, there was a large crowd in the lobby on the first floor and more than ten security guards collapsed on the floor. Clearly, the Steeles had forced their way in.
Trevor was standing in the middle of the hall, and behind him were two extremely lean experts and about ten elite bodyguards of the Steeles.
They were the strongest combat power of the Steeles at present.
In order to deal with Lucas, Greg, the helmsman of the Steeles, had sent the most powerful experts of the family to help Trevor.
Trevor stood in the middle of the hall and shouted arrogantly, “Tell that bastard Lucas Gray to come here immediately! Otherwise, I’ll get people to destroy the Stardust Corporation right now!”
