“Damn it!” Scott cursed in rage and was about to get his bodyguards to deal with Lucas and show him his prowess. But to his astonishment, the two bodyguards approached him and whispered into his ear, “Mr. Taylor, that punk has strange combat skills, and we can’t tell how strong he really is. If he joins forces with that tall and burly one beside him, I’m afraid the two of us can’t beat them.”
Although they sounded slightly cowardly, the bodyguards had to speak up now. Otherwise, they would be beaten up later and be even more embarrassed. If Scott were beaten up badly, they wouldn’t have it easy either.
“Damn it!” Scott cursed again with a sullen expression.
He was not completely ignorant. If he were to insist on fighting despite knowing that he would definitely lose, he would be asking for it.
With this thought in mind, Scott suddenly had an idea and said, “Lucas Gray, I’ll be honest with you. It’s not the Taylors who have taken a fancy to your villa but another bigwig. I had no choice but to come here and ask you to move out. As for the price, we can return you the original sum you paid.”
Lucas narrowed his eyes at Scott. He somewhat believed his words.
After all, the lake villa was originally built and developed by the Taylors, so if the Taylors had taken a liking to it, they could have chosen not to sell it to the public in the first place.
He had previously asked Davis to purchase the best villa in the city, so Davis bought this one. He didn’t use any connections with the Taylors.
Now that the Taylors suddenly wanted him to move out and free up the house, he indeed could’nt rule out the possibility that someone else had taken a liking to the villa.
But whatever the reason was, it had nothing to do with him.
“As I’ve just said, this is a private property that I bought, and I don’t want to transfer it to someone else,” Lucas said indifferently.
“Lucas Gray, to be honest, that person is a big shot you definitely can’t afford to provoke. You have to consider carefully! How about this? I’ll compensate you an additional one million dollars on top of the original amount you paid for this villa. How does that sound?” Scott said with a smile.
“One million? Since I could spend over a hundred and fifty million on this villa, how could I care about one million? Since I said I’m not selling it, I won’t. You may get lost now.” Lucas sneered in disdain and asked him to leave harshly.
Scott narrowed his eyes. His features were already squeezed together by the fat on his face, and now, his eyes were like slits. “Lucas Gray, I’m asking you once more. Are you really not going to let me have the villa?”
Lucas had already run out of patience. He suddenly roared with a dark expression, “Can’t you understand English?! I’m giving you ten minutes to get lost immediately!”
If not for the fact that Cheyenne and her family had just moved here today, Lucas would have dealt with Scott ruthlessly for trespassing and trying to take Cheyenne and Charlotte away!
Scott sneered. “Sure, that’s what you said! When the big shot comes, I’ll see if you can still be that stubborn!”
With that, Scott took his bodyguards and the long-haired beauty beside him away and drove off in his Maserati.
After they left, Wade finally asked in bewilderment, “Lucas, are you going to let them off just like that?”
“Huh?” Lucas glanced at Wade.
Wade hurriedly lowered his head and said in horror, “Lucas, I’m not trying to tell you what to do, but I’m a little confused. You’re letting him off too easy. Besides, we haven’t found out who that big shot he mentioned is. If a powerful enemy really comes looking for us…”
Lucas guffawed. “Powerful enemy? I doubt there’s someone in this world who’s powerful enough to be my enemy!”
Tyrannical!
Domineering!
An overbearing and condescending aura emanated from Lucas!
Wade froze, and soon, there was fervor in his eyes as he looked at Lucas with even more respect. This is the powerful and domineering man I’ve chosen to be loyal to forever!
Seeing that Scott and his group had left, Cheyenne and Charlotte came out from behind the pillar. They walked toward Lucas and asked, “Is everything alright?”
Lucas smiled. “I’m okay, don’t worry.”
Charlotte rolled her eyes at Lucas and joked, “I’m not worried about you. I’m asking if that fatso is alright! Haha, but no matter what, he deserved it! How dare he come and be rude to me and Cheyenne. He must have a death wish!”
A glimmer of cold light flashed in Lucas’s eyes. It seems that the property managers at the entrance aren’t reliable. I have to tighten security at the entrance too.
Previously, there was no need to worry about anything because he lived here alone. But now, Cheyenne, Charlotte, Amelia, and Karen were moving in, so he had to deal with the security issues sooner.

But he would arrange them later.
“Have you looked around the villa? Picked out the room you like?” Lucas asked Charlotte.
The reason he only asked Charlotte was that he had already decided which room was Cheyenne’s—the one she slept in previously. The large closet in that room was filled with many high-quality clothes that Lucas had specially prepared for Cheyenne and Amelia.
As soon as he mentioned the villa, Charlotte immediately forgot about the annoying fatso and grabbed his arm excitedly. “Lucas, you’re really amazing! I didn’t expect you to buy such a large and luxurious villa in such a low-profile manner! This is just like a palace in a fairytale. I never thought that I would be able to live in such a beautiful place one day!
“Lucas, I really admire you so much! Despite having such a wonderful place, you actually didn’t mind living in that tiny house with us every day… Oh my god. I know, you must have done all this for Cheyenne, right? Cheyenne, look. Lucas did all this for you. Are you touched?”
Cheyenne blushed shyly and lowered her head in embarrassment. But soon, she looked at Charlotte’s hand placed on Lucas’s arm and silently pulled it away. She poked her forehead and said smilingly, “You talk too much! Have you finished unpacking all your things?”
Lucas noticed what Cheyenne did, which was a somewhat childish act of jealousy that made him overjoyed.
“Hehe, yes! Speaking of which, this house is huge. It must take a lot of work to clean up! How about this? I’ll hire a housekeeper to clean this place and do the household chores. Consider it my rent. What do you think, Lucas?” Charlotte asked playfully with a grin.
“There’s no need. I’ve already employed housekeeping services. Just rest assured and stay here,” Lucas said with a smile.
As they spoke, they walked into the villa.
Meanwhile, Scott, who had just left the villa, made a phone call in his car. With evil intentions, he said to the person on the other end, “Mr. Kingston, I’m sorry, but that Lucas Gray doesn’t know any better and refuses to agree to give up the villa. I couldn’t get it settled. I’m really sorry!”
