Chapter 409 - What's The Big Deal?
Kenneth's tone was extremely threatening.
The $500,000 check was meant as a fee to make Lucas leave Cheyenne and absolutely wasn't a congratulatory gift for them.
Yet Lucas made up that story and took his money righteously.
Does he think he can take me for a ride like I'm a fool? He can dream on!
After seeing Kenneth's expression, Cheyenne felt a little worried.
After all, Kenneth was the scion of the Parker family, which had an extremely high status in LA now. It wouldn't be worth it to offend the Parkers for $500,000.
Besides, she and Lucas didn't need that money anyway, so she knew that he had accepted it merely for the sake of spiting Kenneth.
"Hubby, why don't we just return the check to him?!" Cheyenne asked softly while tugging at the corner of Lucas's shirt and placing the check in his hand.
She still wanted to try her best to solve this issue and avoid getting into a conflict with these people.
Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Kenneth. "Were you just threatening me?"
Kenneth raised his head proudly and laughed out loud. "Hah, it seems that you're not stupid! Since you've understood what I mean, you should know what to do, right?"
He leaned back in his chair languidly while rubbing his right thumb and index finger against each other, obviously urging Lucas to hurry up and return the check to him.
But to everyone's surprise, not only did Lucas not return the check, but he even folded it in half and stuffed it straight into his pocket.
"You!" Kenneth's expression immediately turned gloomy. It seemed that Lucas intended to defy him and not return the check.
Lucas said nonchalantly, "I'm afraid you guys still don't know that I don't like it when others are rude to me. If you want to take this check back, you'd better talk to me nicely. This five hundred thousand dollars means nothing to me, but if you put on airs in front of me and try to threaten me again, I'm sorry, but you're going to be disappointed."
Kenneth's face immediately turned a little pale.
Lucas was simply a tough nut to crack. Kenneth initially thought that Lucas was just a good-for-nothing who would be really easy to deal with, but he didn't expect to end up being at a loss for what to do about him, who refused to give in no matter what.
At this moment, Kenneth suddenly began to have some doubts about the validity of the information that Nikki had given him.
Is this composed and relaxed person in front of me really the worthless punk who only sponges off women like Nikki Heron said?
He initially thought that as long as he showed his dominance and prowess as the scion of the Parkers in front of a lowlife like Lucas, the latter would definitely be frightened out of his wits and obediently let him have Cheyenne.
But things were completely different from what he had expected.
Lucas Gray is either a fool who is ignorantly brave, or he totally doesn't know the power that the Parkers command in LA.
After all, Cheyenne's good-for-nothing husband has been living in Orange County and doesn't have broad horizons. He probably doesn't even know what the consequences for offending a top family like mine will be.
"Lucas Gray, do you know what status my family has in LA?" Kenneth narrowed his eyes and asked to threaten him while also testing the waters.
Without even raising his eyebrows, Lucas retorted indifferently, "Isn't it just a very ordinary family? Do you think the Parkers are really such a big deal?"
In the eyes of Kenneth, Nikki, and the surrounding scions of rich famil
