Chapter 1212 - 1212 Authority to Kill

1212 Authority to Kill

Seeing his daughter in pain, Rayson felt immense heartache and promised to pledge allegiance to Lucas.

Vanessa wiped her tears and knelt down in front of Lucas. “Mr. Gray, what happened today is indeed my fault. I know I was wrong. Since my father has agreed to pledge allegiance to you on behalf of the Williams, I will do the same and keep to this promise.

“If… if you still won’t forgive me, please kill me! I caused this matter. I just hope that you won’t take it out on my father and my family!”

Vanessa’s voice was full of misery and despair.

Due to her love for Peter, she had ignored her father’s objection and her family’s arrangements for her marriage and insisted on marrying Peter.

Since Rayson couldn’t force her, he could only give in and agree.

She had trusted Peter so much that she had stood on his side and helped him suppress Ashley and Lucas.

After Peter revealed his true colors, Vanessa finally realized that everything she had done wasn’t worth it at all.

She had provoked a terrifying figure like Lucas for the sake of this scumbag, causing her father to have to kneel and beg Lucas for forgiveness and pay a massive price.

If Lucas really wanted to kill her, she wouldn’t have any objections.

A foolish woman like her had not only failed to bring any benefits to her family but instead caused so much trouble. Maybe her death would make her father’s life easier.

Lucas glanced at Vanessa and suddenly said to Ashley, “Ashley, I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether to let her off and what to do with the Williams. You can do whatever you want without caring about anyone else’s opinion.

“If you don’t want to forgive them, Vanessa and the Williams will vanish from DC from today onward.”

Hearing this, Ashley was shocked.

She didn’t expect Lucas to let her make the decision.

Ashley was a direct descendant of the Steeles, but because she had her brother and two male cousins, she never had the authority to make any decisions within the family.

The Steeles had already deprived her of her identity as an heiress and kicked her family of three out.

But Lucas had now given her the power to decide the fate of the Williams.

As long as she said the word, she could immediately annihilate a top family on the same level as the Steeles. It was her first time holding such power.

What would her decision be?

Everyone in the private room turned to look at Ashley.

In particular, Rayson and Vanessa look at Ashley nervously, fearing that they would hear a terrifying verdict from her.

Amid the dead silence, time seemed to crawl by.

Ashley looked at Rayson and Vanessa kneeling on the floor. After seeing the gaze in Vanessa’s eyes, Ashley couldn’t help feeling sympathy. She said softly, “Lucas, actually… I think she’s just like me, a poor soul who was deceived by a scumbag. I think we should give her a chance and spare her this time.”

Hearing this, Lucas smiled in gratification.

He had long guessed this outcome.

After all, Ashley wasn’t a heartless person. Although Vanessa had indeed offended Ashley and him, it didn’t warrant death.

Besides, Lucas had given Ashley the power to decide the fate of the entire Williams family because he wanted to use her as a mouthpiece to spare Vanessa’s life so that the Williams would be grateful to Ashley for her benevolence.

This way, regardless of what happened to the Williams in the future, no one would dare to take their anger out on Ashley.

After hearing what Ashley said, Rayson and Vanessa heaved a sigh of relief and fell to the floor limply after their tense nerves relaxed.

“Thank you, Miss Steele!” Rayson wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said with gratitude, “Miss Steele, you’ll be an honored guest of the Williams from now on, and none of us will ever dare to disrespect you in the slightest! As long as you need us, we will definitely do our best to help!”

Vanessa also said to Ashley gratefully, “Miss Steele, thank you for forgiving me despite our past differences! I will definitely treat you as my own sister. Don’t stand on ceremony with me if you ever need my help!”

Rayson and Vanessa both behaved well.

Lucas nodded. “Since Ashley is magnanimous and has decided to let you off, I’ll let your daughter off the hook this time. But if something like this happens again…”

Rayson hurriedly promised, “I guarantee this won’t happen again! If Vanessa dares to offend you or Miss Steele again, I’ll get rid of her myself!”

Her face ashen, Vanessa said, “Yes, Mr. Gray. I promise there won’t be a next time! I really know my mistakes this time, and I won’t offend you or anyone close to you in the future!”

Lucas believed that Vanessa was telling the truth. After today’s matter, Vanessa wouldn’t dare to repeat her mistakes unless she was courting death.

“Mr. Williams, I’ll hold you to your word. I hope you’ll remember your promise to lead your family to pledge allegiance to me.”

Rayson hurriedly said, “Of course. From now on, you’ll be the true master of the Williams, and everyone, including me, will obey you!”

Although Rayson felt like his heart was bleeding when Lucas wanted all the Williams’ businesses, he realized that they weren’t really losing out after giving it some thought.

Lucas was the master of the Williams now, but he wouldn’t tell the public about this. In fact, Rayson was still the one representing the Williams, so there wouldn’t be much of a change.

Moreover, Lucas was an extremely powerful person. He had managed to make the Waltons, who were on par with the Williams, vanish overnight.

Furthermore, Rayson had crossed paths with Lucas several times, so he knew clearly that Lucas had the Howards, the Smiths, and the Huttons, who were also among the eight top families, as his allies.

In addition, Lucas had a powerful background that even Rayson couldn’t find out.

In that case, even though the Williams pledged allegiance to Lucas, Rayson didn’t think it would be a loss for them because a powerhouse like Lucas would bring the Williams to greater heights. They would gain greater power, so it wasn’t that hard to accept it.

The others in the room all had complicated looks on their faces after hearing Rayson really pledging allegiance to Lucas.

Who exactly was Lucas Gray?!
