Chapter 1238: 1234 Willing to Follow

1234 Willing to Follow

Lucas didn’t have a good impression of these two people, so he obviously wouldn’t want their help. Hearing what they said, he simply said calmly, “As I’ve just said, I only care about the situation in California. As for the matters of Arizona and Nevada, you can settle them yourselves. They have nothing to do with me.”

Hearing this, Joel and Anthony immediately became anxious.

“Mr. Gray, we know we’ve offended you earlier, but we truly know our mistake now! We beg you to be kind and help us! The Hamiltons have already shown their ambitions and greed, and there’s no way we can resist them. The only ones who can help us now are you and the Californian helmsmen!

“If you refuse to help us, the Gillens and Crosses will only have a dead end! I beg you to help us!”

“Yes, as long as you help us, we are willing to treat you as the most prestigious guest of the Gillens and the Crosses! We will satisfy all your requests!”

Joel and Anthony were really flustered.

Just now, they had taken the initiative to bow down and submit to the Hamiltons. But in the end, Brett despised them and rejected them directly.

The Hamiltons were clearly determined to gain control of the few states here. Thus, the only choice would be to get rid of the Gillens and the Crosses and then take over everything they had.

But now, Lucas could still be so stubborn and even seemed capable of resisting Brett, making Joel and Anthony feel as if they had found their last straw to clutch at.

Lucas was their only hope now.

Bruce said with contempt. “Joel Gillen, Anthony Cross, weren’t you acting so servilely to Brett Hamilton just now and saying that you’d get rid of the Hales for them? Now that the Hamiltons don’t want you, you’ve come running to us and Mr. Gray for help. Do you have any shame?”

Edmund rolled his eyes and sneered. “You should leave! Otherwise, I will lose my temper and throw you shameless people out of here!”

Seeing how hostile Edmund and Bruce were to them, Joel and Anthony knew that they had completely offended them, and no matter how much they begged, it would be impossible for them to obtain the forgiveness of Lucas, Bruce, and Edmund.

“Okay, we’ll leave right now!” The two of them could only leave the Hales residence with the people they brought.

At this moment, there were only five people remaining in the reception hall.

Bruce glowered with displeasure at Ethan, who was standing with his head lowered in a corner, and said hostilely, “You may leave too!”

Ether’s face was a little sullen, but he forced himself to smile and said, “The Sawyers are from California too. Now is the time for us to unite and stand strong against the Hamiltons—”

“Shut up! How can a traitor like you have the cheek to say that we should stand strong together against the enemy? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get lost!”

Before Ethan could finish speaking, Edmund had already lost control of his anger and hollered at him.

Bruce stared at Ethan coldly as if he was just a stranger.

Ethan’s heart sank.

He knew that from now on, he and the Sawyers would be completely ostracized from the upper-class circle of California and lose all right to speak.

He originally had the right to have a say, but he had ruined everything himself.

At this moment, Ethan’s heart was full of regrets, but unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now!

Lucas glanced at Ethan coldly without saying a word, but it was obvious what he meant.

Ethan knew that there was no way he could turn the situation around anymore, so he could only say awkwardly, “Alright then… I’ll get going now.”

Then he left with heavy footsteps, taking one step at a time.

Now, only Lucas, Edmund, Bruce, and Connor were left in the reception hall.

These people were completely loyal to Lucas, so Lucas no longer had any reservations when talking with them.

“I’ll be staying in Orange County for a few days. If the Hamiltons do anything, report to me right away,” Lucas ordered.

“Yes!” Edmund and the rest quickly agreed.

“Lucas, you stayed in DC for some time. Are you planning to shift the focus of your development to DC?” Bruce asked cautiously.

Lucas nodded. “Yes. I actually came here to talk to you about this.”

Bruce, Edmund, and Connor immediately knew that Lucas was going to say extremely important matters, so they looked at him with burning gazes.

Lucas said, “In fact, the headquarters of the Stardust Corporation is in DC, so I’m planning to focus my businesses more in DC. From now on, Orange County will just be a branch, and I’ll be spending most of my time in DC and will rarely return to Orange County.

“You should already know that the Parkers have left California and started developing their businesses in DC. A few days ago, I had the Parkers replace the Waltons, one of the eight top families of DC, and take over all of the Waltons’ businesses.”

At this point, Lucas glanced at the people in front of him and saw the obvious shock and envy in their eyes.

The Parkers had been inferior to the Coles previously, but after following Lucas to DC, they managed to replace one of the eight top families. These helmsmen were undoubtedly jealous and envious of their remarkable achievements.

Lucas noticed their expressions and said, “Of course, the Parkers alone are not enough to help me. So I’d like to find a few trustworthy families to form a new alliance in DC and develop our own forces.

“Since all of you happen to be here, I’d like to ask if you’re willing to leave California and start developing in DC.”

What Lucas said surprised Bruce and Edmund.

After hearing about the Parkers’ development, they couldn’t help feeling extremely envious.

In just two months, the Parkers had already gone from a wealthy family in LA to a top family on par with the eight top families. Who wouldn’t be jealous of their achievements?

Bruce and Edmund were well aware that Lucas must have given the Parkers a lot of help. Otherwise, it would have been hard for them to secure footing in DC, let alone make such tremendous progress and achievements within a short time.

They didn’t expect Lucas to give them this opportunity and ask if they were willing to go with him to DC to develop further.
