1206 Kneel and Apologize
The moment Rayson saw Lucas, his legs went limp, and he knelt in front of him!
Thud!
The sound of his knees hitting the floor was crisp and clear.
“Mr… Mr. Gray, you… why are you here?” Rayson stammered as two drops of cold sweat appeared on his head.
!!
Seeing Rayson kneeling, the others in the private room were shocked!
W-what was going on?
He was the helmsman of the Williams, one of the eight top families in DC, yet he knelt in front of Lucas?!
What in the world was going on?
This was completely beyond their imagination!
Were they all hallucinating?
Just as everyone started to doubt life, Vanessa stared blankly at her father kneeling, unable to return to her senses for a long time.
She never imagined that her father would kneel without hesitation the moment he saw Lucas!
This was simply beyond her understanding!
Peter widened his mouth involuntarily and stared dully at the scene in front of him. The shock in his heart was surging violently like a stormy sea.
Rayson, the helmsman of the Williams, actually knelt in front of Lucas!
Why?
Why?!
At this moment, Rayson really felt nervous and aggrieved.
He wasn’t really a pushover who’d kneel as soon as he saw Lucas… But when he found out that the person his daughter wanted to kill was actually Lucas, he really couldn’t control his body. His legs went so weak that he couldn’t stand at all!
The matters that had happened previously were still fresh in Rayson’s memory.
After being forced to kneel and apologize in public before, Rayson had already developed a huge psychological trauma.
Later, Rayson had even knelt to Lucas in front of the auction venue of the DC Hotel and at the Stone residence.
It could be said that Rayson would almost instinctively kneel whenever he saw Lucas!
Looking at Rayson’s bitter face, Lucas smiled. “Didn’t you hear what your daughter said? She said that I made her feel aggrieved like never before, and she wants you to kill me! Why do you think I’m here?”
When Rayson heard this, more beads of sweat appeared on his face.
Now, he was finally sure that his daughter had greatly offended Lucas!
This was terrible!
Smack!
Rayson got up from the floor and slapped Vanessa hard across her face, almost knocking her to the floor.
“You unfilial girl, how dare you offend Mr. Gray? Are you tired of living? Even if you want to die, don’t involve me! Ugh, hurry up and kneel down and apologize to Mr. Gray. Beg him for his forgiveness!”
Rayson had always doted on and cherished his daughter like a gem, and he had never hit her or yelled at her.
His slap was so hard that five bright red fingerprints immediately appeared on Vanessa’s fair and tender face.
Being slapped, Vanessa was dumbstruck.
Never in the twenty-odd years of her life had Rayson ever laid a hand on her or yelled at her. But he actually slapped her in front of so many people and even wanted her to kneel and apologize to Lucas!
Vanessa found it utterly unacceptable at all!
She covered her face and looked at Rayson in disbelief. “Dad! You… you actually slapped me? And you even want me to kneel and apologize to this bastard Lucas Gray?!”
“That’s right! I want you to kneel and apologize to Mr. Gray immediately. Didn’t you hear me?” Rayson hollered furiously.
Immediately afterward, he saw Peter standing at the side with disbelief all over his face. He raised his hand and gave Peter’s face a hard and loud slap.
“And you! You’re just a bastard sponging off of us! You’re nothing! You were with Vanessa, but you didn’t stop her from offending Mr. Gray. You’re at fault too!
“Now, kneel down and apologize to Mr. Gray too!”
Feeling the burning and stinging pain in his face, Peter felt extremely indignant and disgruntled.
Rayson didn’t know what had happened here. But just because he was with Vanessa and didn’t stop her from offending Lucas, Rayson slapped his face mercilessly.
This was all because Peter was merely a live-in son-in-law with no status who sponged off the Williams. Thus, Rayson didn’t take him seriously at all and humiliated him in front of everyone without restraint.
In particular, he slapped him in front of everyone in the private room. Not only did his former college classmates see it, but Ashley and Lucas did too!
The right side of Peter’s face was burning up as the endless shame overwhelmed him.
But regardless of how furious and disgruntled he was, Peter could only force himself to bear with it.
The person who hit him was Rayson, the helmsman of the Williams, whom he had relied on to get everything he had now. He absolutely didn’t dare to defy Rayson or even reveal a tinge of anger or hatred.
“Yes!” Peter agreed indignantly as he knelt in front of Lucas with great difficulty.
The moment his knees hit the floor, his heart had already started bleeding, and maniacal hatred was surging in his heart.
Oh, how the tables had turned!
One day, he would definitely make Lucas pay for the humiliation he suffered.
Peter gritted his teeth hard, trying his best to comfort himself.
Vanessa finally snapped back to her senses when she saw Peter getting slapped and kneeling. Her father wasn’t joking. He really wanted her to kneel and apologize to Lucas!
After receiving Vanessa’s call, Rayson had rushed over with his men. But now, he was forcing her to apologize to Lucas without fully understanding what had happened. She felt so angry and aggrieved that she was about to explode.
But Rayson’s actions showed how scrupulous he was of Lucas, even afraid of him. Out of fear of offending Lucas, he had slapped her and then forced her to kneel and apologize.
Vanessa wasn’t a fool. From her father’s abnormal behavior, she could tell that Lucas must be a terrifying big shot, so big that her father, the helmsman of the Williams, was afraid of him!
Lucas Gray, who exactly is he?
