Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 453: Chapter 456: Slapping the Ex-husband’s Family’s Face (1)

Brandon Lucas was secretly shocked.

He knew his son was feeling wronged.

He himself could hardly accept such a situation!

To have him pour tea for his ex-daughter-in-law was really…

But now was not the time to worry about this. Brandon Lucas was well aware of his position in the Lucas family, still needing the main family’s support, and could not afford to anger Ethan Wilson.

He was about to pull Austin Lucas back.

But an even taller man stepped out from behind Lily Gray.

Ethan Wilson’s narrow black pupils narrowed, flashing a dangerous light.

“Caleb Lucas IV, is this your son?” he asked coldly, with a seemingly indifferent tone that concealed hostility.

Brandon Lucas, scared, trembled his right hand and pulled Austin Lucas back with fear and anxiety.

Austin Lucas was forced to take a step back, but his eyes met Ethan Wilson’s without showing any weakness.

“Mr. Lucas, long time no see.” Austin Lucas replied neither servile or overbearing.

He had confronted Ethan Wilson at the police station before.

However, that time, he was utterly defeated.

He was brutally beaten by Ethan Wilson’s men, and he would never forget that humiliation.

Ethan Wilson squinted his eyes, looking deeply at the young man before him.

Austin Lucas was half a head shorter than him, with a handsome and youthful appearance, and a slim and even build.

Most importantly, unlike Brandon Lucas, there was still the ambition and drive of a young man in his eyes.

Ethan Wilson’s long and slender eyebrows raised slightly, a glint of brilliance in his eyes.

A natural sense of deterrence poured out from his deep and cold gaze.

Ignoring Austin Lucas’s greeting, he turned to Caleb Lucas IV instead. “Austin Lucas…not bad. Lucas IV, you’ve raised a good son.”

“Mr. Lucas is too kind; Austin is still young and impulsive, and needs more polishing,” Caleb Lucas IVreplied.

As he spoke, his right hand was gripped tightly on Austin Lucas’ wrist.

Feeling his son’s resistance, he couldn’t help but exert even more force.

Their branch of the family was not strong enough to compete with the main Lucas family.

He knew what Austin Lucas was thinking.

From the moment he arrived at the banquet venue today, Austin Lucas had seemed restless.

Brandon Lucas was also a man and had understanding of men.

Men were like this: only when they lost something could they truly appreciate it.

Clearly, his son still had feelings for his ex-daughter-in-law.

But it was already too late.

Now, Lily Gray was no longer the orphan of the Gray family.

She was the lady of the house of the Lucas family, the wife of Ethan Wilson. Nobody dared to covet what belonged to him right in front of him!

Austin Lucas, restrained by Brandon Lucas, obediently bowed and offered tea to Lily Gray under Ethan Wilson’s watchful gaze.

Although he had a thousand words he wanted to say to Lily Gray.

But Lily Gray’s response was utterly cold.

As Austin Lucas offered tea, he unapologetically gazed at Lily Gray’s face, not caring that Ethan Wilson was standing next to him.

It was just a pity that Lily Gray didn’t even spare him a glance.

Nor did she raise her head.

Accepting the tea with her head bowed, she took a sip before setting it aside.

Their ceremony of offering tea was like just going through the motions.

As soon as Austin Lucas finished offering the tea, he was pulled back by Brandon Lucas.

It was then Michelle Carter and Zara Lowe’s turn to come forward.

This time, Lily Gray did raise her head, in a rather good mood.

She smiled, looking at Michelle Carter and her daughter Zara Lowe’s discontented expressions in front of her.

“These two are my wife and daughter,” Brandon Lucas said stiffly.

He knew many people around them were waiting to see his family’s embarrassment.

But circumstances forced him to comply, and even though he was unwilling, he had to follow the ancestral rules.
