Recognizing the voice on the other side of the phone, Lucas froze on the spot with complex expression for a long time, as if he was a pause puppet.
“Dad, you… you’re kidding with me, right? Our family at least are the number two in B City. How could we be all washed up in a blink?” Lucas asked again after a while.
“Do you understand the influence of Davies family and Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce? The Holmes family is just a tiny aunt in comparison with them! They wouldn’t even notice our existence even if I spooned our money to them. You are such a good son, just offended both at one time directly. From now on, no bothering coming home and you’re no son to me!”
The call was hung up as soon as the sentence finished in wrath. Lucas stared blankly ahead and didn’t pay attention to his hand, not aware of dropping the phone on the ground.
“The young lady of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, the member of Davies family. Isn’t here J City, A rinky-dink little place? Why people in that league would show up here?”
Lucas mumbled to himself, and then turned to look at the way of Casey and Lily, swallowed unconsciously. The man was all taken over by dread.
Crowds of onlookers didn’t surprise at Lucas’s response. For they knew, messing up with Casey was never going to end well. Though no one knew what exactly Casey had done to Lucas, the result went back clearly.
Next second, Lucas just knelt in great regret before Casey and begging, “Brother Casey, I was wrong, please spare my family. I didn’t mean to hurt somebody, just was not that polite when talking to that lady. I was such an dumbass and please punish me instead, no need to weep my whole family out. It was not easy for the Holmes family to get the place they were at now. Please don’t let that all going down with me!”
The crowd gasped at those words from Lucas and looked towards Casey in shock and in mixed feelings.
All they saw was a call made by Casey, which people didn’t know what he had said, and the next second Lucas knelt before Casey and begging. Until then, the crowd had come to the sense that Casey had just wept out the whole the Holmes family.
“Holy crap, that was unbelievable. Just a call could do that?”
“What… what? That was no kidding!Was this guy bragging about his ‘glorious’ family background just now? Well, one call by Casey could just destroy a family like that?”
“The Holmes family must be greater than Gray family if it was the case in J City? Casey could do that through one call? That was hot!!”
“No wander Gray family was acting that respectful in front of Casey. He must have an unusual relationship with Davies family. One call could command Davies family to finish a upper class family in B City---could he be the successor of Davies family?”
……
People around were in both shock and curiosity, trying to figure out the connection between Casey and Davies family, most of whom believed it was highly possible that Casey was the successor of Davies family.
They would be jaw-dropping if they knew Casey in the flesh was the current Lord of Davies family.
“One chance had already been given to you and sadly you didn’t take it. There was no going back for that. You made your choice and you yourself must bear the responsibility.” Casey answered in cold voice.
For the first few seconds Lucas was still in confuse and couldn’t recall when he had been given the chance. But soon he remembered that he had the chance to say sorry to that girl when Casey just got here.
He felt so regret at the moment, for he realized that things wouldn’t end this way if he made his apology in time.
Lucas almost had breakdown. He admitted that he was a little bossy in his daily life, just as no difference to any other juniors from the noble family in B City. But the whole family being wept out for a few words coming out of mouth, he was the first.
He kept begging with Casey for a while but Casey didn’t pay any of his attention to him. All Casey being thinking about was how to let Lily forgive him, in no mood for Lucas’s grievances.
He walked up to Lily, figuring what to say, wanted to offer his apology appropriately.
“Lily, I…”
Lily directly picked up a glass of wine from the table and splashed it all towards Casey’s face.
“Who is your Lily, asshole?! Do I know you?!”
Done talking, Lily just walked towards outside.
Casey’s face and clothes were all wet by that. Though it was a little awkward, he didn’t get angry with Lily. At this moment, He wouldn’t get angry no matter what Lily did to him because he deserved it.
The crowd seeing that felt they were watching a TV plot and many of them had token out their phone to record the scene.
Casey right now was like a very normal guy who was wooing Lily but Lily had no feelings for him and splashed wine on him in public.
Casey took a deep breath, didn’t stay behind for long and hurried up to Lily. She was very drunk for the time and it was not safe walking alone on the street.
Conor darted a look at Lucas, who was still kneeling on the ground, and followed with Casey soon.
On the street outside the bar, Lily wobbled along and could fall over at any time.
Casey worried she might get hurt and hurried up to hold her.
