The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

e they were permitted entry.
This just went to show that the rules at the auction in Club Splendor tonight had to be very strict.
Or rather, the organizers of the auction had to be from a formidable background, so much so that even those scions dared not offend them and had no choice but to let the security guards check their invitations in accordance with the rules.

“Lucas, it seems it won’t be that easy to get into Club Splendor tonight,” Jordan whispered to Lucas.

In fact, if they used brute force, they would be able to enter even the heavily guarded Capitol Building if they wanted to, let alone a club guarded by just a few bodyguards!

But the purpose of their trip wasn’t to force their way into Club Splendor but to find Grace and rescue her.
If this matter escalated, it would affect Lucas and some of his following plans.

At this moment, a security guard saw the two of them and noticed that they had been standing near the entrance without moving for a long time, so he went forward to chase them away.

“What are you still blocking the entrance for? If you don’t have an invitation card, hurry up and get lost! Don’t get in the way of others! Do you hear me? What are you waiting for? Scram!” the security guard said arrogantly.

A trace of murderous aura flashed in Jordan’s eyes, and he suddenly turned around, wanting to teach the security guard with a foul mouth a hard lesson.

“Shut up!” At this moment, a familiar voice full of anger sounded from behind them.

Bruce Hale was holding a cane made of rosewood with some gold details, which was some sort of a status symbol, and walking over at a pace that seemed a little quick for his age.
He seemed furious.
“Fool, how dare you stop and insult Mr.
Gray? Do you have a death wish?”

The security guards were shocked and hurriedly bowed to Bruce.
“Mr.
Hale!”

But Bruce, the head of the Hales, simply ignored the security guards and quickly walked toward Lucas.
Everyone watched in shock as Bruce bent forward a little and said to Lucas with the utmost respect, “Mr.
Gray, had I known you were coming, I would have asked my chauffeur to pick you up and take you here!”

Everyone was taken aback by his words!

Everyone knew that the 70-odd-year-old Bruce, the helmsman of the Hales, one of the four major families in Orange County, had been a member of the upper-class circle for numerous years.
It was safe to say that nearly no one in high society could compare to him in terms of age and seniority.
Even the heads of the other families would have to show him great respect.

But why would such an esteemed and prestigious figure, who commanded great power in Orange County, bow slightly to Lucas, speak to him with so much respect, and even go as far as to chauffeur him over personally? This was way too shocking!

The security guards who had hollered at Lucas and told him to get lost couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat now!

If they still didn’t know that there had to be something extraordinary about Lucas’s identity, they would be complete idiots!

“Mr… Mr.
Gray, we’re sorry.
We… didn’t do it on purpose!” the few security guards stammered, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Although they had been hired by the Wallaces, the four top families still showed each other adequate respect on the surface.
Once Bruce called the Wallaces and informed them that the security guards had offended him, the Wallaces would definitely punish them severely!

At this moment, Jordan asked with raised brows and a derisive smile, “So, do you still want to see our invitation cards now?”

“No, no, no, of course not!” The security guards immediately shook their heads profusely and then exclaimed respectfully, “This way, please!”

Lucas couldn’t be bothered to care about these small fries.
He simply walked straight into the club while Bruce followed closely behind.

Only after entering the spacious hall did Lucas suddenly ask, “What’s the background of the auction tonight?”

After looking around and ensuring that there was no one else near them, Bruce said softly, “Actually, the auction is just a pretext.
They’re not putting up items for auction tonight.
Rather, they’re putting up people for auction, and beautiful women at that!”
