1162 The Parkers Current Situation

Hearing what Lucas said, Kenneth looked extremely respectful, even a little in awe.

Back then, Kenneths cousin, Tristan, had offended Lucas, and Lucas originally wanted to destroy the Parkers.

But fortunately, Kenneths grandfather, Damon, made the right choice to become loyal to Lucas at the critical juncture, which saved the Parkers. He went on to show Lucas his loyalty and earned his trust, which gave the Parkers the opportunity to develop rapidly.

Lucas smiled and asked, How is your grandfather now?

He had a good impression of that smart old man Damon Parker.

!!

Kenneth smiled. My grandfather is doing well. Just last month, he handed over the position of helmsman to my father. My father and I, together with the other members of the family, basically handle all the family affairs now. My grandfather mostly stays in his villa and leads a comfortable and carefree life of nursing flowers and rearing birds.

But he often mentions you, and he always tells us to remember your great kindness to our family and that we are to obey your instructions whenever we meet you.

Lucas laughed. He didnt expect that Damon would tell his juniors this.

The two of them were sitting here and talking. Although Leila was sitting beside them, she didnt know Kenneth or the past between Lucas and the Parkers, so she didnt have the chance to speak at all and just sat quietly while listening.

But from their conversation, Leila could infer a lot of information, which caused waves in her heart.

Although she still didnt know what kind of a family the Parkers were, the fact that Kenneth knew Nick and had even ordered someone to break his limbs was enough to show that the Parkers power was not to be underestimated.

But regarding this powerful family, Kenneth actually said that everything the Parkers had now was given to them by Lucas and that Lucas could take anything away as he pleased.

In that case, Lucass control over the Parkers was simply at a terrifying level.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Kenneth called a gorgeous woman over and introduced her, Kayla, this is Mr. Gray.

The woman named Kayla quickly greeted Lucas, h.e.l.lo, Mr. Gray. Ive long heard about you, but I didnt expect you to be younger than I imagined.

While speaking, the woman had a very respectful expression on her face and even a tinge of surprise. She had clearly heard of Lucass name before.

Kenneth smiled. Mr. Gray, Kayla is my fiance.

h.e.l.lo. Lucas greeted Kayla politely, not expecting that she was Kenneths fiance.

Kayla, Mr. Gray and I still have some things to talk about, so please show Mrs. Gray around our jewelry gallery. Give her that diamond necklace I picked earlier as a meeting gift! Kenneth said to Kayla while signaling to her with his eyes that he was referring to Leila.

Alright. Wow, Mrs. Gray, youre so young and beautiful! Kayla was a rather enthusiastic person, and she immediately took Leilas hand and pulled her away.

When Leila heard the words Mrs. Gray, she blushed, but she didnt say anything and left with Kayla shyly.

Lucas didnt explain either. After the two left, he asked, How is the Parkers strength now?

In fact, after he subdued the Parkers, he didnt spend much time and effort on them, and he basically left it to them to develop on their own. Thus, if he hadnt run into Kenneth here today, he would have probably almost forgotten about them.

But since they met in DC, Lucas wanted to ask how far the Parkers had developed.

Kenneth said, Since you allowed us to take over the Brookes business in LA, our strength has increased by leaps and bounds.

After you became the hegemon of California and Oregon later, the Parkers status rose even higher, and countless families and enterprises in both states extended cooperation offers to us. So in the past few months, our a.s.sets have increased by more than ten times.

Im afraid none of the families in California can measure up to us now, not even the Coles.

What Kenneth said surprised Lucas.

He didnt expect the Parkers to be able to improve so drastically within just a few months.

Kenneth hesitated for a moment before continuing, Actually, to be honest with you, Mr. Gray, weve managed to achieve such great success and expanded beyond LA to all parts of the country, especially in DC, all thanks to you.

Oh? Why do you say so? Lucas asked with a look of interest.

Kenneth smiled. My grandfather told us that youre not an ordinary person, and you definitely wont stay in Orange County. One day, youll leap forward and become an incredible person thats out of reach. He said that if the Parkers continued to stay in California, we would eventually be unable to keep pace with you and become your burden.

Therefore, no matter what, the Parkers must try our best to expand our market and make our family stronger so that we wouldnt be left behind by you.

This reason surprised Lucas again.

He didnt expect the Parkers to have expanded so extensively and were trying their best to cover the entire country so that they wouldnt be left behind by him.

Lucas had an even better impression of Damon.

He was indeed a wise man!

Lucass current power and authority were far superior to before. If the Parkers were still just a powerful small family in LA, Lucas might have really ended up forgetting them.

This wasnt because Lucas was mercenary and sn.o.bbish, but rather, he was already standing too high now. All he saw now were countless powerful enemies or allies. Those standing too low were easily obscured and ignored by him.

Damon had obviously already realized this, so he had not only instructed his family to follow Lucass footsteps closely but also made many changes to the Parkers development plan in order to prevent Lucas from ignoring them.
