Chapter 440: Questioning

Thus, Damon told Matthew all the information about Lucas his men had found out after some investigation.

Of course, it was just the most superficial information that they had discovered. Moreover, Lucas had been keeping an extremely low profile to hide his true identity, so the report was full of errors and false information. It could only show that Lucas was indeed someone at the lowest tier of society who had nothing to rely on.

As for some of Damon’s previous speculations and scruples about Lucas, he obviously wouldn’t tell Matthew about them. He wanted to use the Bensons’ power to deal with Lucas, so naturally, the more unpleasant he was, the better.

After hearing what Damon said, Matthew stayed silent for a long time, seemingly pondering.

He asked, “Does that person have something to do with the death of your grandson?”

Damon clenched his teeth and said furiously, “There’s indeed a connection! Although we haven’t found any concrete evidence yet, according to the information we have, the death of my grandson Tristan is definitely related to Lucas Gray!

“I must make sure this person dies! So I’d like to tell you now that the Parkers have decided to go against him!”

Matthew hesitated only for a second before saying in a heartened manner, “In that case, count the Bensons in! How dare Lucas Gray be so arrogant as to break my son’s arm? I won’t let him off!”

In the beginning, Matthew was still planning to play it safe and wait for his subordinate to show him the investigation report before coming to a decision. But since Damon’s grandson had already died in Lucas’s hands, there definitely wouldn’t be anything wrong with the results of his investigation.

Besides, even the Parkers wanted to deal with Lucas. As the helmsman of the Bensons from San Francisco, how could he be more timid than them?

Moreover, the matter of revenge was only a matter of time. If the Parkers got rid of Lucas, how could he avenge his son?

The two of them reached a consensus and discussed some more details of the action over the phone before ending the call.

——

However, Lucas wasn’t aware of this.

He and Lena happened to be staying at the same hotel. So after leaving Caldo Mountain, he drove the blue Porsche back to the Waldorf Hotel in downtown LA together with Lena.

Their rooms also happened to be on the same floor and even more coincidentally right beside each other.

In fact, it wasn’t actually a coincidence but a deliberate arrangement of Lena, who tried to pass it off as a coincidence just to see if there was an opportunity for her to make some progress with Lucas at night.

But her seduction plan had failed by the swimming pool on the roof of the hotel. Besides, she had also seen the large pile of roses that Lucas had bought for Cheyenne in the backseat of the car. There were at least a thousand of them.

When she thought about it, she couldn’t help feeling dejected.

Given how much Lucas loved Cheyenne, she thought that she wouldn’t be able to seduce him easily.

In fact, Lena’s heart was full of complicated emotions.

On the one hand, Cheyenne was her good friend, and her attempt to seduce Lucas would definitely hurt Cheyenne. It would undoubtedly drive a wedge between them and put a strain on their friendship.

But on the other hand, Lucas was really the first and only man she had ever fallen in love with so far. Every time she saw him, she couldn’t help blushing and getting butterflies in her stomach as she felt an uncontrollable desire to get closer to him.

She had thought countless times to herself, ‘If only Lucas and I had met before he met Cheyenne. That’d be wonderful!’

The elevator soon reached the sixteenth floor. After hesitating for a long time, she eventually stopped at the door of her room and thanked Lucas with utmost sincerity.

She didn’t dare to have any more over-the-top behavior because she was afraid that she might make Lucas be repulsed and loathe her instead, which would be terrible.

Even if she couldn’t advance any further with him now, they were at least friends for the time being.

As for the other things, she would leave them for the future.

Lucas answered with a clear and composed gaze, “You’re welcome.” He then returned to his room without hesitation, making Lena feel a little crestfallen.

The next morning, Lena was woken up by a phone call. She picked it up groggily, only to hear Ethan shouting at her from the other end. “Lena, Tristan died in the middle of last night! Tell me honestly. Does this matter have anything to do with you?”

Lena instantly froze in shock. “What? Tristan Parker died last night?”

She had no idea that this had happened.

But when she heard the news, all she felt was shock and a vague sense of relief, without a single trace of misery or grief. The fact that he had been overly possessive of her and had even hired a hitman to kill Lucas last night made it impossible for Lena to be upset.

She was well-mannered enough not to gloat about it.

But Ethan was exasperated.

He had learned about the news only this morning.

Ethan had called the Parkers in disbelief and tried to ask if Tristan’s death was true or just a rumor because it was just too sudden.

But when the call connected, Damon had hollered at him in fury and even accused Lena of colluding with another man to get his grandson killed. He had even criticized Ethan for having to gall to call after what his daughter had done.

Before the dumbfounded Ethan could get a clear idea of the situation, Damon slammed the phone and hung up on him.

Later, Ethan called some of his friends in LA to ask about the situation. Then he roughly learned that Tristan had gotten into a huge altercation with a young man before his death. Although there wasn’t any concrete evidence, it was speculated that Tristan’s death was very likely related to this young man.

Most importantly, Lena was the one who asked this young man to go to Caldo Mountain, and he even seemed to be very intimate with her. In fact, many people had seen Lena holding onto his arm and provoking Tristan.

Ethan couldn’t believe his ears when he heard this!

“Lena Sawyer, tell me truthfully. Did you or did you not have anything to do with Tristan’s death? Who exactly is that young man you were with last night? What is his relationship with you?” Ethan barked furiously.

Lena was irked by his interrogative tone, and she retorted aggressively, “What does his death have to do with me? I only just found out about his death! Besides, I became an adult long ago, and it’s my freedom to be with anyone I want. You have no right to interfere with my life!”

She had already guessed through her father’s words that many people must have suspected that Lucas was the culprit behind Tristan’s death.

But she wasn’t sure if this matter had anything to do with him for now and thus obviously wouldn’t expose the fact that the young man was Lucas.

Ethan was infuriated. “You unfilial daughter, how dare you speak to me like that?! Wait for me in LA. Don’t go anywhere. I’ll rush there right now. When I arrive, you’ll come with me to see the Parkers and explain everything clearly!”

With that, he hung up lividly.

Lena put down the phone and began to feel ill at ease.

Does Tristan’s death really have something to do with Lucas?

If he’s really the culprit, the Parkers will never let him off!
