Chapter 403: Mad Dog Barking

Chapter 403: Mad Dog Barking

A wave of anger surged in Cheyenne’s heart.

But none of the people in the private room discovered anything different. They were still chiming in with Kenneth and running their mouths without restraint.

“Kenneth, how can you imply that it’s mistreatment for this good-for-nothing? You’ve prepared a special seat for him, and you’re even going to order food for him. That’s already kind enough! We’re already being nice enough by letting this loser stay in the same room as us!” Nikki gibed with a sultry smile.

“Hahaha, Kenneth, you’re being too kind-hearted. You even specially prepared so many things for him. If I were you, I wouldn’t have bothered to put in so much effort for him! You have to understand that the Lion Restaurant is the most upscale restaurant in the city, and we’re being benevolent enough to let him come here and take a whiff of the aroma of the dishes. Does he still expect to be fed? Well, he can go eat in the restroom!”

“Hah, Jake, you’re so mean! The restroom is so filthy. Aren’t you afraid he’ll make this room stink after he returns? I suggest we give him our leftovers and scraps instead of getting the waitress to dump them in the trash. That’ll be a reward for him!”

“Hahahaha, good idea! Let’s do that. The chicken bones and lobster shells we give him later should be enough to keep him full!”

…

For a while, the room was full of derisive laughter and sarcastic insults.

Even though Cheyenne was usually good-tempered, she couldn’t help being furious when she saw them blatantly insulting Lucas, so much so that her face turned pale and her body began trembling.

Lucas gave Cheyenne’s hand a comforting squeeze, which calmed her down.

But Lucas’s face was completely gloomy and cold. He was emitting an icy cold aura as he said grimly, “I can take your insults as the barking of a bunch of mad dogs, but since you’ve provoked my wife, I won’t let you people off easily!”

“…”

As soon as Lucas said this, the snickering and sarcastic remarks came to an abrupt halt, causing the entire private room to fall into an eerie silence.

But these scions of wealthy families immediately reacted. How dare a good-for-nothing speak to us like that?!

Not only did he call them barking mad dogs, but he also said he wouldn’t let them off. It seemed utterly ridiculous to them!

Who does he think he is?!

“Damn it. Who do you think you are, you good-for-nothing?! How dare you talk like that in front of us?!”

“How dare you say you won’t let us off easily? We just chose not to bother with you on account of Kenneth! If you provoke us, I’ll get someone to come and break your legs right away!”

“How damned ignorant! It’s your blessing that Kenneth was kind enough to let you come in and join us here. Yet you’re still being so fussy and speaking to us so rudely. Are you tired of living?”

…

All of a sudden, the scions in the room began lashing out at Lucas, and a few exceptionally hot-tempered ones even stood up and rolled up their sleeves, feeling a strong urge to teach Lucas a lesson.

They were all Kenneth’s friends and a gang of scoundrels, just like him. Before Lucas and Cheyenne arrived, they had heard Nikki badmouthing Lucas and all the insults she said about him. Meanwhile, Kenneth had also shown interest in Cheyenne in front of them, so they naturally loathed Lucas and wanted to chase him away immediately so that Kenneth could have a chance at bedding Cheyenne.

A trace of icy cold anger appeared in Lucas’s eyes.

What else could these useless scions of wealthy families do except rely on their families’ power to throw their weight around and bully others?

If not for the fact that he respected Cheyenne’s decision to rely on herself to expand into the LA market, Lucas would have used his connections and instructed Flynn to make these stupid scions bow down and beg Cheyenne for a chance to cooperate with her. There was no need for them to let themselves be treated as pushovers and have others insult them unbridledly here.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Cheyenne was also boiling with fury. But she didn’t want Lucas to get into an altercation with them here and now, so she quickly pulled his arm and signaled for him not to be impulsive.

“Alright, let’s all stop arguing for now. Don’t disrupt the peace because of some trivial matters.” Kenneth finally stood out and interjected with a chuckle when he saw that his friends were on the verge of making things physical. “Guys, calm down. Lucas, buddy, it’s actually my fault for failing to estimate the number of guests today and make the seating arrangements beforehand. Well, how about this? Since you don’t want to eat alone at a separate table, I’ll have the waiter bring another chair in so we can all squeeze and sit together!”

Kenneth had actually instructed someone to prepare the plastic stool and tiny foldable tray table specially for Lucas. Since Lucas and Cheyenne weren’t willing to follow his arrangements, he could only give up on his plans unwillingly and suggest that they add another seat to the table to stop Cheyenne from leaving.

In fact, the dining table in the room was already extremely large and had ample space for another chair. Kenneth was just deliberately trying to put Lucas to shame and humiliate him.

Soon, the waiter carried a chair in and placed it by the dining table.

“Cheyenne, come sit over here!” Nikki enthusiastically pulled Cheyenne over and tried to get her to sit beside Kenneth.

But how could Lucas possibly let his wife sit next to Kenneth, who obviously had an ulterior motive and harbored designs on Cheyenne? Lucas quickly took the spot beside Kenneth while Cheyenne sat down next to Lucas.

Thus, the sequence of seats was Nikki, Kenneth, Lucas, and Cheyenne.

Lucas sat in between Kenneth and Cheyenne, keeping them apart.

Kenneth’s face was rather sullen. Nikki immediately stood up and pointed at Lucas while cursing, “Lucas Gray, why are you so shameless, you good-for-nothing? I’ve already told you that I reserved this seat for Cheyenne. Who gave you permission to sit here? Get out of the way and let Cheyenne take your seat!”

Cheyenne was completely enraged by Nikki’s repeated scoldings and insults to Lucas.

She suddenly stood up and hollered furiously, “Nikki Heron, that’s enough! I’ve told you time and time again that he’s my husband and your cousin-in-law. You’d better show him some respect! If you insult him like that again, don’t ever call me your cousin! I don’t have a rude and disrespectful cousin like you!”

It was the first time Nikki had seen Cheyenne getting so upset with her. Is she acting like this just because I scolded her good-for-nothing husband?

Nikki was furious too. If not for the sake of helping Kenneth get this bitch, I wouldn’t even bother talking to her, much less listen to her scoldings!

But they hadn’t achieved their goal yet, so Nikki still had to think of a solution to calm Cheyenne down and make her stay. Nikki had no choice but to endure it for now. Hmph, I’ll let you be arrogant for another couple of hours. When you get into Kenneth’s bed tonight, let’s see how you can continue being arrogant!
