Leon quickly nodded. “Yes, Mr. Parker, I know! I… I have a total of three million dollars in this card. After deducting the compensation, the remaining money is a token of my apology to you, Mr. Parker! I hope you will accept it!”
Kenneth sneered. “Do you think I care about a couple hundred thousand dollars?”
The smile on Leon’s face immediately stiffened.
But Kenneth couldn’t be bothered to stoop to the level of such an insignificant small fry. He merely said indifferently, “You should compensate the full amount for the vase and not a single cent more. Jane, take him to swipe his card for payment.”
Jane hurriedly obeyed and brought Leon to the service desk, where she processed the payment, deducted $2.8 million from his card, and returned the card to Leon. Thus, the matter was considered settled.
The rest had nothing to do with Lucas, so he couldn’t be bothered to stay here any longer. He said to Charlotte, “Let’s go.”
Charlotte readily agreed.
Kenneth hurriedly took a few steps forward. “Mr. Gray, Miss Carter, let me walk you down.”
At this moment, Leon, who had just walked back from the service desk, saw Lucas. His eyes were immediately full of immense shock.
Leon sprinted toward Lucas and asked carefully, “Are you… Lucas Gray, Chairman Gray?”
“Who are you?” Lucas frowned. He didn’t know the middle-aged man who claimed to be Brian’s uncle.
Besides, very few people who didn’t know him would call him Chairman Gray.
Seeing that Lucas didn’t deny it, Leon immediately became even more agitated. He frantically said, “Mr. Gray, I’m Leon, the deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation! I… Before Mr. Davis left, he specially showed all the senior executives a picture of you and told us to obey your instructions. But this is my first time meeting you in person!”
As soon as the words ‘deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation’ came out of his mouth, Lucas, Charlotte, Vanessa, and the rest all began to look rather strange.
In particular, after Brian heard the respectful way Leon addressed Lucas and spoke to him, his face became deathly pale.
“You said that you’re the deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation?” Lucas had a playful look on his face.
“Yes, it’s indeed me!” Leon answered carefully while bowing slightly.
“In that case, who is he?” Lucas pointed at Brian.
When Brian and Vanessa were bragging about their status earlier, they had said more than once that he was the deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation and had come over to San Francisco to attend the ordinary business exchange on the corporation’s behalf.
“H-he’s my nephew,” Leon said with bewilderment.
He had already indicated their relationship when he came in just now. He didn’t know why Lucas asked him again.
“I mean, what is Brian Klein’s position in the Solar Corporation? What kind of work does he do?” Lucas asked again patiently.
“Uh? He… My nephew isn’t an employee of the Solar Corporation!” Leon looked even more bewildered.
Lucas, Charlotte, and the others looked at Brian with an even more peculiar gaze.
At this moment, Leon realized that there seemed to be something he didn’t know about and quickly yelled at Brian, “You bastard! What else have you done behind my back? Hurry up and tell me the truth! Or else I will immediately break your legs!”
Brian was so frightened that he finally couldn’t hold on any longer. He leaped toward Lucas and dropped to his knees.
Bang!
Ignoring the pain coming from his kneecaps, he hurriedly cried and begged for forgiveness. “Mr. Gray, it’s all my fault! I… I was too vain. I don’t work for the Solar Corporation at all, let alone am the deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation! My uncle is the deputy general manager. I used his identity to deceive Vanessa!
“I didn’t mean to pretend to be the deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation. Mr. Gray, I beg you to let me off this time!”
Only then did Leon realize what his nephew had done. It turned out that his nephew had assumed his position in the Solar Corporation and even shown off in front of the chairman. It was no wonder that Lucas’s gaze was so bizarre when he heard him say that he was the deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation!
“You… you bastard! How dare you impersonate me outside and discredit the Solar Corporation? You even offended Mr. Gray! I have to teach you a lesson for your father today. Otherwise, who knows what other crazy and stupid things you’ll get up to!”
Leon lifted his foot and kicked Brian hard, then he punched and kicked him.
Leon spared no mercy when beating Brian, causing the latter to shriek in pain and misery. Soon, his face was bruised and swollen, and he started begging for mercy.
“Uncle Leon, I was wrong! Please don’t hit me again… Ahhh! Argh! I was really wrong! Please let me off! Ahhh!!!”
Brian was rolling around on the floor and screaming incessantly, but he couldn’t go against Leon, who was boiling with fury.
Lucas watched coldly without saying anything.
He originally thought that Brian was the deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation and thus thought that there was a major flaw in the management of the Solar Corporation. He had even decided to investigate and rectify it properly after he returned.
But now, it seemed that things were not that bad. At the very least, one of his senior executives wasn’t a vile dimwit like Brian.
Moreover, the fact that Leon was hitting his nephew so savagely without any mercy showed that he was at least a smart person.
With a blank expression, Vanessa stared at the man being beaten into a pulp near her and once again suspected if she had been blind before.
She had always thought that she was lucky to find a rich and prestigious man. She had even bragged to Charlotte that she was now dating the deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation and that she would become his wife while he would be promoted to the general manager in a couple of years. She would then enjoy a life of luxury.
But she finally found out that this man had even lied to her about his status!
He wasn’t the deputy general manager of the Solar Corporation but a liar who had been using his uncle’s position to deceive her!
From head to toe, from judgment to luck, she was incomparable to Charlotte in any way, shape, or form!
She had utterly lost!
Vanessa laughed in sorrow.. She wanted to see if Charlotte was staring at her mockingly. But to her surprise, Charlotte and Lucas had already left the Heavenly Pavilion!
