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

and cons of the marriage and decided to be honest with Lena.
But his words were also realistic and cruel.

Lena bit her lips tightly and hung her head low to ponder about it for a long time.
Just when Ethan thought she had been convinced by him and was finally going to agree to marry Tristan, she suddenly raised her head and looked him straight in the eye with a determined gaze.

“Dad, now that I’m aware of the difficulties we’re facing.
Don’t worry.
I will stand by you.
I’ve studied abroad for so many years after all, and my knowledge of business management and other aspects should come in handy at times like this.
I’m willing to shoulder the burden and face these problems together with you! But I’ll never sacrifice my own happiness and rely on an arranged marriage to secure our position and status!”

After saying these words decisively, Lena stood up and headed upstairs to go to her room.

Sitting on the couch and watching his daughter leave, Ethan sighed helplessly after a long time.

If possible, he would of course want his daughter to find her own happiness.
But she had been living a sheltered life where she was so well-protected that she had no idea that things wouldn’t always go her way in life.

Perhaps Lena would only understand the reasons for his decision today only after she had personally gotten a taste of the ruthlessness of society!

…

Meanwhile, Lucas headed straight to the Stardust Corporation after leaving the restaurant.

Charlotte was presiding over the Stardust Corporation and was managing everything well without any major problems.

Lucas was just here to check on the progress and read some reports regarding the development and other information on the recent situation of the company.
He also had to formulate plans for the upcoming developments.

But as soon as his car was near the Stardust Corporation, he saw numerous people gathered outside the Stardust Corporation office building.
Among them, there were many firefighters and police officers.
The police had even cordoned off the entrance.

Lucas frowned.
He could tell that something must have happened.

He stopped his car nearby and got out, only to see that many were craning their necks and pointing at the roof of the Stardust Corporation.

Lucas had always had sharp eyesight.
Although the rooftop was high, he managed to get a clear glimpse of the two people standing at the edge.

One of them was wearing a body-hugging business suit and standing there with a furious expression.
It was Charlotte.

Lucas had seen the other person with a gloomy and maniacal expression standing across from her before.
It was Declan Adams, the scumbag Charlotte had a crush on back in college.

Lucas wouldn’t suspect anything if only the both of them were standing there and talking, but the situation was clearly amiss.
In particular, Declan was holding a cold and shiny dagger!

Lucas’s pupils constricted as his face became cold and gloomy.

He pulled an employee of the Stardust Corporation, who was wearing a lanyard with the company’s name tag, over and asked coldly, “What’s happening up there?”

The employee answered anxiously, “I have no idea.
I heard that that man is Miss Carter’s ex-boyfriend who suddenly sneaked into the office today.
They somehow got into a conflict, and then he forced Miss Carter to the rooftop of the building.
He even wants them to die together!”
