Chapter 298: He Bullied Me
Lucas frowned, stopped in his tracks, and swiftly dodged the woman attempting to hold him.
There was a trace of shock and some displeasure in the woman’s eyes.
This woman was about 25 to 26 years old and voluptuous. Her face was covered in thick, exaggerated makeup, with shiny eyeshadow covering a large area of her eyelids all the way up to her eyebrows. Her lips were also covered in bright red lipstick.
If she dressed like this at a banquet, she would definitely be a gorgeous stunner at the center of attention. Unfortunately, she now had a look of displeasure and annoyance on her face, making her look malicious and much less beautiful.
“Put on an act for me. I’ll pay you!” the woman ordered in a low voice.
Without further ado, she took out a wad of bills amounting to at least a few thousand dollars from her pearl purse and stuffed it into Lucas’s clothes.
She glanced at Lucas condescendingly with an arrogant gaze, as if Lucas was obliged to help her. After giving him the money, she leaned closer again to try and hold onto his arm.
“No!” Lucas refused coldly and then tossed aside the wad of bills stuffed into his pocket.
He was not a saint or a Samaritan, so he naturally wouldn’t help just anyone who approached him, especially since he was now worried about Grace’s situation and thinking about how to rescue her from Club Splendor. He naturally didn’t have time to pay attention to the request of this woman who had appeared out of nowhere.
“You! I’m Gisele Taylor, and I’m just asking you to do me a small favor! Are you even a man?” Gisele Taylor gritted her teeth and glared at Lucas viciously.
If that annoying jerk hadn’t started pestering her all of a sudden, and if she had been able to arrange a suitable candidate, she wouldn’t have pulled a random decent-looking man on the streets over and asked him to be her shield.
This idiot still seems so adamant and unwilling to help me out!
Hmph, I’ve already revealed my identity. I won’t believe this atrocious man still has the guts to reject me!
Except for the three other families just as powerful as the Taylors, most people in Orange County would rush to curry favor with them and try to get into their good books once they revealed their identity!
Unfortunately, Gisele was destined to be disappointed.
Even after Lucas heard her identity, his expression remained unchanged, and he even barked at her coldly, “Get lost!”
So what if she’s a Taylor? I’ve even taught the direct descendants, Scott and Preston Taylor, a hard lesson. What is a small fry like her to me?
Lucas would never be pressured by the power of someone else’s family, nor let someone use their family’s status to order him around!
Besides, he now had something urgent to attend to, so he obviously didn’t have the time to bother about a pointless trick pulled by a woman of a wealthy family.
After being rejected by Lucas mercilessly, Gisele retorted in rage, “Bastard! I’m doing you a favor by asking you to help me! How dare you talk to me like that? Are you tired of living?”
Lucas stared at her coldly like she was an idiot before turning around to leave.
“Gisele, you’re finally here!”
At that moment, the door of a Pagani sports car opened, and a scion with a greasy face and hair and wearing a suit came out of it. He then scurried toward Gisele with a smile on his face.
A look of disgust appeared in Gisele’s eyes for a fleeting moment before she quickly concealed it. Staring at the back of Lucas, who was walking away, she suddenly looked extremely aggrieved while pointing to the bills scattered all over the ground.
With pouted lips, she complained to the young man, “Kyle, that bastard… He bullied me and tried to take liberties with me. He even called me a hooker and threw money at me while demanding that I sleep with him for a night!”
Gisele even pointed her finger at Lucas, who had just left and was now a few steps away.
Kyle Kingston stared at the bills amounting to at least a few thousand dollars scattered all over the ground. When he got out of the car just now, he did witness Gisele talking to Lucas with a sullen expression on her face.
So Kyle immediately believed what Gisele said, and his expression became cold and austere.
He had been carrying a torch for Gisele for a long time. She was beautiful, and her family was one of the top families of Orange County. If he could marry Gisele, his position in his family would rise by a notch too!
Unfortunately, Gisele had always been indifferent and aloof toward him. She seemed to never pay attention to him.
But she was now pouting aggrievedly and complaining to him in a coquettish manner, making him feel a strong sense of accomplishment and a tremendous urge to protect her!
At the same time, he was overwhelmed with fury!
Damn it. How dare another man covet the woman I haven’t even gotten my hands on?! He even had the audacity to call my woman a hooker. He must have a death wish!
“Damn it. You’re trying to flee after bullying my woman? Stop right there!” Kyle was zealous and livid as he dashed forward to stop Lucas.
At the same time, two of Kyle’s bodyguards were getting out of the car behind his car. When they saw this, they immediately sprinted forward to form a triangle around Lucas, hindering him from leaving.
Lucas’s face immediately darkened.
Not far behind Lucas, Jordan had an aggressive and murderous gaze in his eyes. He squeezed his fingers and cracked his knuckles. How dare they surround Lucas? They must be tired of living!
Club Splendor was located at the intersection of two main roads, with many shopping malls and movie theaters in the vicinity. So there was generally quite high pedestrian traffic.
Seeing that a conflict was about to break out here, many people who enjoyed gossiping stopped to watch the commotion.
Some of them recognized Kyle and couldn’t help exclaiming in shock. “Oh my goodness, it’s Kyle Kingston! How dare that young man offend Kyle Kingston? This young man is going to be in trouble!”
“What? Mr. Kingston is here in Orange County too? The Kingstons are much more powerful than the four top families in this county!”
“Exactly. After all, they’re one of the top few families in the entire state!”
“Looks like that young man is in trouble!”
“Haha. He deserves it for having the guts to offend Mr. Kingston!”
…
Everyone soon found out Kyle’s identity and were all casting envious gazes at him.
In this era, the rich and powerful could do whatever they wanted. And for commoners who were far inferior to them, being able to witness such legendary scions confronting others with their very own eyes was quite a rare opportunity.
They obviously didn’t care about the cause of the conflict and who was at fault. They merely hoped that the commotion would escalate and things would blow up.
So they naturally praised and flattered Kyle while despising and undermining Lucas.
Well, it was all because Lucas was wearing ordinary clothes, and no one knew who he really was.
Hearing the chatter around her, Gisele glanced at Lucas with the pleasure of taking revenge. Hmph, how dare he turn me down and tell me to get lost? I must make this ignorant and brazen man pay the consequences!
Looking at the three people surrounding him, Lucas remained calm and said to Jordan, who was standing near him, “I’ll leave it to you.”
