was definitely good news, especially since Cheyenne had been feeling
extremely insecure after learning that Karen was not her biological mother and
that the Carters had adopted her.
Even though William and Charlotte both said that they had long regarded
Cheyenne as a part of their family and didn’t change the way they interacted
with her, Cheyenne still felt flustered.
Lucas could understand the feeling of someone not knowing where they came
from and why they had been abandoned, wandering around without being able
to find their roots.
If Cheyenne knew that her biological mother had appeared, she would
definitely burst into tears of joy!
But Florence was actually so mercenary.
Having a snobbish adoptive mother who exploited her all the time had already
made Cheyenne very miserable.
If her biological mother was also like this-constantly using her status as her
mother to get Cheyenne to do things against her wishes-then Cheyenne would
be even more miserable.
If Cheyenne knew that her mother wanted her to divorce Lucas, she would
definitely be extremely miserable.
relationship over this period of time. Even if Florence demanded Cheyenne to
comply, she wouldn’t agree to it.
But she would definitely be extremely sad and miserable. Lucas definitely
didn’t want to see this.
He didn’t want the woman he loved to feel any misery at all.
The Howards.. I hope you won’t go overboard. Otherwise, I cant guarantee
what Ill do.
In the end, he still decided to hide the truth about Florence from Cheyenne for
the time being.
He didn’t want the kindhearted and sensitive Cheyenne to be miserable.
In the Coles’ guest hall in San Francisco.
“Haha, Madam Howard, you’re truly a distinguished guest. It’s our honor!
Please have a seat.” Edmund chuckled and let Florence take the master seat.
After all, she was an honored guest from one of the eight most powerful
families in DC, so Edmund naturaly wouldn’t be negligent
to the chase and made her intention clear. “Mr. Cole, I won’t beat around the
bush with you. To be honest, I’m here today because there’s something I’d like
to ask you about, Mr. Cole
Upon hearing this, Edmund had a look of surprise on his face. He smiled and
said, “Your family is so powerful, while Im just an old man. What can I possibly
help you with, Madam Howard?
He obviously didn’t want to reply to Florence, making her feel infuriated.
She was clearly from the esteemed Howard family, and she was willing to
lower her pride and come to ask him a question. A family like the Coles should
have answered all her questions respectfully instead of being perfunctory.
However, once Florence thought of the fact that she was now on Edmund’s
turf, she didn’t vent her anger immediately. But her voice was much colder
than before.
“Mr. Cole, why bother being so humble? Since over a week ago, when the
Kingstons and the Walkers, who were originally the Coles’ rivals, were
eradicated, the Coles have become the most powerful family in San Francisco,
or rather, in California. As the helmsman of the Coles, what could you not
know? Mr. Cole, you just don’t want to help me.”
When she said the last sentence, a wisp of anger clearly appeared in her eyes.
as if he didn’t see it at all.
In fact, long before Florence arrived, Edmund had already received news from
Bruce that she was asking around for infomation about Lucas, the Master of
California.
Since he knew her intention, and he couldn’t possibly tell her about Lucas, why
would he bother with her?
Edmund narrowed his eyes slightly and sipped on his tea calmly like an old
monk.
Florence had a gloomy gaze in her eyes as she silently glared daggers at
Edmund.
Standing behind Florence, Andy stared at Edmund with a cold gaze while
clenching his fists.
No one said anything, and the tension in the hall was palpable
After nearly one minute, Florence finally couldn’t endure it anymore a
coldly, “Mr. Cole, I just want to know one thing. Who is the Master of
Califormia?
Edmund touched his eyebrows without putting down his teacup. He merely
said indifferently, “The Master of California is the Master of California. Please
pardon me. I have no other comments.”
people beating around the bush with me! Since you know my identity, I want
you to tell me all the information about the Master of California immediately.
This concerms not only me but also the Howards! If you mislead the Howards,
your family will no longer have to exist!”
She unceremoniously mentioned the Howards to threaten Edmund.
The polite smile on Edmund’s face faded as he said with a cold expression,
“Madam Howard, is this the attitude you should have when you’re begging
someone for information?”
“Huh? The attitude of begging” Florence raised her head upward and laughed
loudly, as if she had heard an extremely hilarious joke. She said disdainfully,
“What kind of identity do I have? What kind of identity do you have? Why must
I beg you? Do you have the qualifications?
Edmund said coldly, “In that case, take your time. I won’t see you off!”
He didn’t say any nonsense and simply told Florence to leave.
Florence had never suffered such exasperation from such a minor figure, and
her hands began trembling with anger.
Behind her, Andy had a dark expression as he suddenly stepped forward and
shouted, “How dare you! Edmund Cold, how dare you be so rude to Madam
Howard? Are the Coles tired of living?
your turn to order me around here!
After he said this, several bodyguards of the Coles darted out from the corners
of the hall, all amed with pistols on their waists. They were ready to draw
anytime.
When Florence and Andy saw the bodyguards amed with guns, their
expressions abruptly changed. Lightning struck their minds as they
immediately sobered up with shock on their faces.
The Coles actually dared to get their bodyguards to surround them with guns!
