Chapter 150: Pressed Into a Bowl of Soup

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Connor walked over with a frown on his face. While on his way here, he had already heard about what happened. As soon as he arrived, he saw Bryce pressing a white napkin against his bleeding head. He then looked at the composed Lucas, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea leisurely.

Staring at the two people in front of him, especially the unharmed Lucas, Connor narrowed his eyes and said hostilely, “It’s my son’s baby shower today, and I believe that all the guests are here to wish my son well and join us in this celebration. The Hales have already reminded you all beforehand that no matter what feuds you have with each other, you are to set them aside and not cause trouble on our turf! Even if you must settle it, you have to wait until you’ve left our place!”

Glowering at Lucas scornfully, Connor questioned, “Don’t you understand?”

Being the next successor of the Hales, Connor was extremely arrogant. It was as if he had already shown a nobody like Lucas enough courtesy by saying these words.

Lucas looked up at Connor in front of him. He sighed a little and asked calmly, “Is Logan Hale your younger brother?”

Connor raised his eyebrows and answered matter-of-factly, “Of course. Anyone who knows him is aware that he’s my younger brother. If you want to tell me that you’re Logan’s friend, you can save it. He has sordid friends all over the county. Even if you know him, you’re just one of them.”

Hearing this, Lucas suddenly put on a smile that seemed dangerous to Connor.

Lucas said softly, “Since you’ve acknowledged that he’s your younger brother, that makes things easier.”

Connor immediately frowned. “What do you mean by that?”

Sitting in his chair calmly, Lucas said nonchalantly, “The Hales owe me an explanation. I shall get it from you.”

Connor blinked and snorted with laughter, as if he had heard the greatest joke on Earth.

Only then did he realize that Lucas didn’t ask him about Logan’s relationship with him for the sake of showing that he was acquainted with Logan but because he wanted to ask them for an explanation.

He thought that it was probably because Logan had provoked Lucas for some reason, so Lucas was here to seek an explanation.

He felt that it was absolutely too ridiculous!

The Hales were one of the four major families of Orange County, and his younger brother Logan, in particular, had been spoiled rotten since a young age. He often caused trouble and would bully others. But those who got bullied dared not protest or stand up against the Hales due to their family’s prestige.

Very few were as bold as Lucas, who actually dared to come directly to their residence and ask them for an explanation.

Connor laughed in derision and shook his head. “No matter what kind of feud you have with my brother, you’re not fit to ask us for an explanation.”

At this moment, the people around them started discussing among themselves, thinking that Lucas was overestimating himself by being so presumptuous. They thought that he was just a powerless live-in son-in-law who was courting death by making a scene at the Hales’!

Lucas raised his head, glanced at Connor calmly, and asked, “Is that so?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up abruptly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Connor’s hair with one hand!

Before the horrified and dumbfounded Connor could even react, his face was pressed into a large white porcelain bowl containing sea cucumber soup. His head was instantly submerged in the boiling hot soup.

“Argh!” Connor was so shocked that he opened his mouth and accidentally inhaled several mouthfuls of thick broth through his mouth and nostrils, causing him to choke and cough violently. He began struggling frantically as his arms flailed about and knocked off several plates and bowls on the table, causing them to fall to the ground and shatter.

“How dare you! Hurry up and let go of Mr. Hale!”

The Hales surrounding them finally recovered from their shock and reacted to what was happening after Connor choked and coughed several times. They immediately roared at Lucas and reached their hands out to try to restrain him so as to rescue Connor, whose head was being pressed into the bowl of soup.

If this went on, Connor would definitely become the first scion of a wealthy family in Orange County to drown in a bowl of hot soup!

Fortunately, Lucas didn’t want to kill Connor directly, so he pulled his head out of the soup by his hair. He then pushed him toward the Hales who pounced over.

“Mr. Hale!”

“Mr. Hale, are you alright?”

The Hales hurriedly caught Connor and frantically grabbed clean napkins to wipe his head and face, which were drenched in soup and covered with vegetables. All of a sudden, no one could be bothered to pay attention to Lucas.

Lucas leisurely sat down in his seat again and asked with a smile, “Now, do I have the right to hold it against the Hales?”

Everyone else was dumbfounded as they watched everything that happened. They were looking at Lucas with incredible shock and disbelief, thinking that he was extremely daring to have had the audacity to press Connor’s head directly into the bowl of soup in front of so many people at the banquet the Hales hosted!

Meanwhile, Aston, standing next to Lucas, inhaled sharply!

Although he had previously guessed that Lucas had a malicious intention for showing up at the baby shower, he absolutely didn’t expect Lucas to be so ruthless as to do such a thing to Connor!

This was tantamount to directly falling out with the Hales and insulting Connor as well as his family!

At this moment, Connor had already cleaned off the soup on his face and head with the help of his family members. However, his hair was still greasy, there were burn marks on his scalded face, and his expensive bespoke suit was stained by the soup. He looked extremely disheveled.

Connor opened his bloodshot eyes and glared at Lucas angrily and menacingly. “No one has ever dared to treat me like this! I will kill you!”

Connor had grown up being the center of attention and flattery, and he was often praised and respected, be it in Orange County or abroad. Now that he had been designated as the next successor of the Hale family, he had a promising future. Yet he had his head pressed into a bowl of soup by a nobody.

He was dead set on killing Lucas, who was simply a good-for-nothing in his eyes!

The few Hales and bodyguards around him immediately stepped forward and surrounded Lucas.

In the face of Connor’s uncontrollable rage, the surrounding people were silent as they lowered their heads and didn’t dare to make a single sound, for fear that they might provoke Connor and get implicated too.

However, Lucas, who was facing Connor’s wrath directly, didn’t feel scared in the slightest. In fact, he was even smiling contemptuously.

Amid the tension, an old man with somewhat white hair hurried over and whispered a few words in Connor’s ear.

Connor frowned and then immediately glared at Lucas while threatening viciously, “I’ll spare you for now. You’ll get it from me later!”

Then Connor led the other Hales to turn around to leave!
