Alexander smiled bitterly and shook his head with a sigh. “I’m a member of the Steele family, and the blood of the Steeles runs in my veins. How can I sever ties with them?

“Besides, even if I want to sever ties with the family, they won’t let me go.

“Although it’s true that the family is unfair to me now, they’ve raised me to adulthood after all. I want to repay them instead of turning on them.

“Enough. We came out for some drinks and fun today, so don’t mention those unhappy matters again.”

Alexander shook his head as if he was trying to shake those unhappy matters out of his mind. He smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said generously, “Come on, let’s have a drink! Mr. Gray, you should have one too!”

!!

Everyone raised their glasses. Lucas replaced Cheyenne’s glass with a glass of juice before raising his own glass and drinking it.

“Speaking of which, a new bar opened downtown a couple of days ago. There’s a gorgeous dancer working there. She has legs for days! We should go there too sometime.” A young man with long hair suggested excitedly.

“Shut up! Can’t you see that we have a lady in the room? Stop speaking so uncouthly!” Stefon smacked the young man’s head and then quickly apologized to Cheyenne and Lucas. “I’m sorry. This fellow doesn’t think before he speaks. He’s itching for a beating!”

“Haha, Stefon is right. You’re in need of a beating!”

The few young people laughed and joked.

In fact, Lucas didn’t take offense to the remark unintentionally made just now.

When he was in the military, there were often young men gathering and cracking some sexual jokes for fun. They would then get smacked by their friends.

Lucas smiled when he saw Alexander’s friends.

The meal started at six o’clock and lasted until after nine before they parted ways.

After personally walking Lucas and Cheyenne to their car, Alexander said with a bitter smile, “Lucas, my friends are just really noisy and boisterous. I hope we didn’t annoy you! But I can temporarily forget the unhappy things only when I’m with them.”

Lucas didn’t ask Alexander what he was unhappy about but just smiled and said, “It’s getting late. We’re leaving now.”

“Okay, let’s get together again sometime in the future. Be careful on your way home.” Alexander smiled, waved his hand, and watched Lucas and Cheyenne leave in their car.

In the car, Cheyenne chuckled. “I thought that he suddenly invited you to dinner because he had something to ask of you, but it turned out to be just a simple meal.”

Lucas smiled lightly. Indeed, the meal tonight was rather simple, but only Alexander would know if he had an ulterior motive.

…

On the other side, Alexander had also gotten into his own car, and the driver was driving toward the Steele residence.

But apart from Alexander, there was a middle-aged man in the backseat.

“Mr. Steele, did Lucas Gray agree to help you?” the middle-aged man asked.

Alexander shook his head. “He is a very smart person. If I ask him for help directly, he’ll definitely reject me, so I can only try slowly and take it one step at a time.”

At this moment, Alexander seemed extremely calm, without any trace of the disheveledness and drunkenness just now.

“That man is just an outcast kicked out of the Huttons. Does he really have that much power? Mr. Steele, are you overestimating him?” the middle-aged man asked in disbelief, his tone revealing some disdain.

Alexander frowned. “Don’t underestimate him! Think about it yourself. If he’s really just an illegitimate son who was kicked out of the Huttons years ago, how could he have gotten the entire Stardust Corporation from the Huttons?

“Moreover, he’s definitely an impressive expert! I’m not even qualified to fight against him. Do you think such a person has no power?”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man put away the contempt in his eyes and said with some caution, “Is he really that strong that even you are no match for him?”

He was extremely clear about Alexander’s strength and knew that Alexander was very good at martial arts. Moreover, he had been taught by famous masters since he was a child, so it could be said that Alexander had no rivals among his peers in DC.

But that illegitimate son who just returned to DC is much stronger than Mr. Steele?

How is that possible?!

Alexander said cautiously, ”That’s because there’s a six-year gap in the information about Lucas Gray. No one can find out what happened to him during those six years!

“The only possibility is that he spent his time on the battlefield at the borders during those six years! Therefore, it’s possible that he was trained from an ordinary person into a top powerhouse of his generation! Besides, based on his performance, he should have been an extraordinary figure in the military!”

After pausing for a bit, Alexander ordered in a deep voice, “Don’t you know someone who holds a high post in the military? Find a way to find out Lucas Gray’s true identity!”

…

Lucas didn’t know that Alexander had secretly sent someone to investigate him. But even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

Reason being, Lucas’s identity in the military was classified as ‘top secret’, and only the few top people would know who he was.

When the two of them returned to their villa in DC, Cheyenne washed her hands and immediately video called Charlotte.

Soon, a beautiful woman and a pretty little girl appeared on the phone screen.

“Mommy! I miss you!” Amelia immediately exclaimed with joy as soon as she saw Cheyenne.

“Hey Amelia, have you been behaving at home the past few days?” Cheyenne looked at her daughter’s cute little face and smiled.

Although she had only been separated from Amelia for two days, she felt as if she hadn’t seen her for a long time and missed her greatly.

At this moment, Cheyenne wanted to fly to Amelia, hug her, and give her a kiss on her tender little face.

“Mommy, I’m not a child anymore. Of course I’ve been behaving! I just miss you guys a little!” Amelia said with a smile, pretending to be a mature adult. It made Cheyenne and Charlotte laugh.

“That’s good to hear. Once Daddy and Mommy are done here, we’ll go back to accompany you immediately, okay?” Cheyenne said in a gentle voice.

Amelia’s eyes lit up, and she nodded several times. “Yes! I know you two are working hard. Don’t tire yourselves out!”

Cheyenne was extremely heartened that her daughter was so sensible and caring toward them at such a young age.

Lucas walked out of the bathroom and sat next to Cheyenne.

Amelia immediately called out happily, “Daddy! I miss you too!”

Looking at his daughter’s happy face and hearing her soft and sweet voice, Lucas felt like his heart was about to melt.
