1214 Completely Resolved
Ashley was clearly frightened as she hugged Lucas tightly, her entire body trembling.
Lucas patted her on the back. “It’s alright. With me here, you definitely won’t be hurt.”
As long as he was here, Peter wouldn’t be able to hurt Ashley in the slightest.
The rest of Ashley’s former classmates looked at them with awe and envy.
With such a powerful backer, even though Ashely has been kicked out of the Steeles and was no longer an heiress, no one would be able to bully her!
After all, even the Williams, one of the eight top families of DC, had pledged allegiance to Lucas. Given his incredible power, others could only look up to him.
After comforting Ashley, Lucas glanced at Peter, who had passed out on the floor, and instructed Rayson, “Deal with Peter later. I don’t want to see him again.”
Rayson immediately understood what Lucas meant. “Yes, I’ll definitely handle this matter well. Please rest assured!”
Lucas didn’t say anything else. He simply took Ashley with him and left Club Aurora.
As for the others in the private room, they were scared out of their wits of Lucas. They all cowered in front of him without daring to make a sound. Lucas looked down on these spineless people, so he naturally couldn’t be bothered to teach them a lesson.
Anyway, after what happened today, they wouldn’t dare to appear in front of Ashley anymore, nor would they cross paths with Lucas again.
Lucas couldn’t be bothered with these people who had nothing to do with him and would never have anything to do with him.
Only after the two of them left did the others in the private room heave a sigh of relief and wipe the cold sweat on their bodies.
These ten short minutes just now had really almost scared them to death!
Unable to stand anymore, Silas collapsed onto the chair behind him and asked carefully, “Is… is it really over? Has Mr. Gray decided to let us off?”
“I… I think so?” Zoey said with uncertainty.
Having survived a catastrophe, Carrie said emotionally, “Someone with a high status like Mr. Gray is worlds apart from us. He should disdain to deal with a small fry like us… In other words, we’re not even fit to receive punishment from him…”
What Carrie said made the people in the room, who were thankful that Lucas had spared them, fall silent.
Indeed, it wasn’t because Lucas had forgiven them that he didn’t teach them a lesson but because he didn’t care about them at all.
At the thought of this, everyone felt even more complicated.
Only Allie had a shine in her eyes, but she didn’t say anything.
Speaking of which, among the former classmates who had gathered today, she was the only one who had stood on Ashley and Lucas’s side and hadn’t mocked them.
From this perspective, she had really made the right choice today.
Rayson hadn’t left yet. He glanced at the people in the room and ordered coldly, “None of you are to reveal a word about what happened today. Do not discuss Mr. Gray with anyone! If I find out you revealed a single thing about this matter, don’t blame the Williams for being ruthless!”
The people in the private room shuddered and frantically guaranteed, “Mr. Williams, please rest assured. We definitely won’t reveal a word about this matter!”
Although Rayson looked a bit disheveled when kneeling in front of Lucas just now, which had damaged his prestige as the helmsman of the Williams, he only behaved this way to Lucas, who was even more powerful than the eight top families.
To the families of people like Silas and Zoey, the Williams were a terrifying behemoth that they couldn’t afford to provoke. They were absolutely certain that if they revealed a word about what had happened today, the Williams could easily make them vanish from DC.
Thus, no one dared to defy Rayson’s orders to keep their lips sealed.
“Okay, remember what I said. You can leave now!” Rayson shouted.
Ashley’s former classmates in the private room hurriedly left without another word, as if they had been spared from death.
At this moment, there were only a few people remaining in the private room.
Only then did Rayson walk over to Ray, who was standing at the side. “You must be Mr. Parker.”
Ray subconsciously showed a flattered expression and quickly said, “Yes. Hello, Mr. Williams. I am Ray Parker, the helmsman of the Parkers. We’ve only recently arrived in DC. Please take care of us!”
With a friendly smile, Rayson said, “Mr. Parker, you’ve done a great job with your businesses. You’ve managed to develop them to such a large scale within such a short time. I have a lot to learn from you!”
After exchanging some pleasantries, Rayson turned to look at Kenneth, who was standing beside Ray. “This must be your son. What a handsome and talented young man.”
Kenneth hurriedly said, “Thank you, Mr. Williams. My name is Kenmeth Parker. Please just call me Kenneth.”
“Hahaha, what a good kid!”
Rayson was very friendly to the Parkers and didn’t put on any airs. He was kind, amicable, and even seemed to be currying favor.
The Parkers were clearly Lucas’s subordinates and seemed to be very close to him. Otherwise, Lucas wouldn’t have let them take over the Waltons’ businesses.
Besides, the Parkers were already quite powerful to begin with, so after taking control of all of the Waltons’ businesses, it could be said that they were now on par with the eight top families of DC.
If Lucas was willing, he could easily let the Parkers surpass the eight top families at any time!
Given how formidable they were, even Rayson didn’t dare to underestimate them.
Moreover, Rayson had pledged allegiance to Lucas today, so he naturally wouldn’t be so foolish as to go against Lucas’s subordinates.
After exchanging some more pleasantries, Rayson finally looked at Peter, who was lying on the floor like a dead dog, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
“Drag this man away and find a place to dispose of him!” Rayson instructed his subordinates.
“Yes, Mr. Wiliams!” The two bodyguards stepped forward and dragged Peter away by his legs.
His words just now had already decided Peter’s fate. He wouldn’t live to see the light of day tomorrow.
