At this point, there was nothing Frey could say to defend himself. Besides, only five million of the massive sum of ten million dollars that he had embezzled was left, which was now in Kylie’s hands. Even if he added all his assets together, he wouldn’t be able to pay it back. Moreover, he knew that the Parkers would never let him off the hook.
In that case, he had to drag Kylie, this shameless woman who caused him to be reduced to such a state, down with him no matter what!
Kenneth was furious too.
But he looked at Lucas respectfully and asked, “Mr. Gray, what do you think is the best way to deal with this matter?”
It wasn’t that he was indecisive. But rather, he was thinking about what Kylie said previously about her and Lucas being former college classmates. So he wondered if Lucas would show her some mercy on account that they used to be classmates.
Lucas was standing silently at the side and watching everything. But after hearing Kenneth’s question, he said without even looking at him, “Do what needs to be done.”
He was never friends with Kylie in the first place, and she was the one who had provoked him first. Now that it was revealed that she had done such a thing, Lucas was already kind enough not to kick her when she was down.
Hearing Lucas’s answer, Kenneth immediately knew what to do.
He yelled at the group of security guards of the Heavenly Pavilion, who were cowering in a corner and pretending to be invisible. “Why are you cowering there? Are you waiting to be paid without doing any work? Immediately come here and send these two people to the police station. Tell the police what they did and make sure you file a report so that the police will investigate!”
Then Kenneth glanced at the staff in the store, who had peculiar expressions, and lectured them, “I don’t want to see such a terrible thing happen again. Do you all understand what I mean?”
“Yes!”
“We got it, Mr. Parker!”
…
The security guards and salespeople immediately nodded profusely.
Soon, Frey and Kylie were sent to the police station. Since there was concrete evidence, the results of the investigation would probably be released soon, and it would be time for them to be sent to the place they should be.
But before Kylie was taken away, she turned around and stared at Lucas with an extremely complicated expression.
Even until now, she still didn’t know why she ended up landing herself in prison when she had clearly only wanted to mock Lucas because she disliked him.
Lucas Gray is clearly a bottom feeder of society who makes less money in a year than I do in a month. He should feel ashamed in front of me forever, but why have things turned out like this?
On what grounds does he manage to make the scion of the Parkers treat him with so much respect and defend him? If not, I wouldn’t have ended up in such a state!
But no matter how resentful she was, it was already too late.
After settling everything, Kenneth cautiously looked at Lucas and asked, “Mr. Gray, are you fine with the way I handled things?”
He hadn’t forgotten the reason he had rushed to the Heavenly Pavilion was that he was afraid his subordinates would end up offending Lucas and upsetting him.
Lucas assented noncommittally before raising his wrist to look at the time.

It was almost half past six in the evening.
He had planned to pick up two decent gifts from the Heavenly Pavilion before going to Alexis’s birthday party. But he had ended up running into Kylie out of nowhere, causing him to waste a ton of time.
Since he had already picked the gifts, he stopped delaying any further and said to Jane next to him, “Please wrap up the two gifts I’ve chosen. I’m in a hurry.”
Jane seemed to wake up from a dream as she hurriedly answered, “Yes! I’ll help you go through the procedures immediately!”
The scene just now had left the young Jane shell-shocked, not only because of how audacious and shameless Frey and Kylie were but also because of Lucas’s identity.
Even the scion of the family who owned the Heavenly Pavilion, Kenneth, was extremely polite and deferential toward Lucas, so much so that he even had to seek his opinion when handling the matter.
She wondered, Who… exactly is this man…
While thinking about this matter, Jane didn’t slow in her actions. She immediately proceeded to place the string of high-quality wooden Bodhi beads and the set of emerald jewelry inside exquisitely designed gift boxes.
At this moment, Kenneth finally understood why Lucas suddenly showed up in the Heavenly Pavilion. It turned out that he was here to pick out some gifts.
After realizing this, Kenneth immediately said, “Mr. Gray, so you came here to get some gifts. We have plenty of treasures in the Heavenly Pavilion. If there’s anything you like, just tell me! If you want, I’ll take you to go look at them now.”
Lucas said indifferently, “It’s alright. I’ve already picked two just now.”
The gifts were for Edmund and Alexis. In fact, the Coles ran an antique business, so even if Lucas gave them other antiques, they would probably find them similar. Besides, he was already friends with the Coles. So as long as the gifts were appropriate, he didn’t need to care about anything else.
While they were talking, Jane had already returned with two beautifully wrapped gift boxes. She handed them to Lucas and asked politely, “Mr. Gray, these two items cost a total of 3.8 million. Do you wish to pay by credit card or check?”
Before Lucas could say anything, Kenneth immediately got anxious and chided Jane, “What credit card? It’s just two items. We naturally can’t let Mr. Gray pay a single penny for them! Mr. Gray can take away any item he likes in the Heavenly Pavilion for free, let alone just two antiques! Bear this in mind!”
Hearing this, a look of astonishment once again appeared on Jane’s face.
The value of the gifts Lucas had selected were close to four million dollars. Yet Kenneth not only gave them to him for free, but he even said that Lucas could take anything he wanted from the Heavenly Pavilion for free in the future. The total value of the antiques in the store was at least a billion dollars!
Who exactly is this Mr. Gray, who’s dressed in plain and simple clothes…
Lucas wasn’t surprised by Kenneth’s act of giving him these expensive gifts.
Even though Lucas had intended to pay for the gifts with his own money if Kenneth hadn’t come, his relationship with the Parkers was now very different. If he had to spend his own money at a store belonging to the Parkers, it wouldn’t be him being polite, but rather, it would be putting the Parkers to shame.
Thus, Lucas didn’t stand on ceremony with Kenneth and gladly accepted his kind gesture.
“Alright, thank you very much then, Mr. Parker.” Lucas took the two gift boxes and smiled at Kenneth.
This immediately made Kenneth let out a huge sigh of relief.
This was enough to show that Lucas wasn’t upset with him and the Parkers because of what had happened today, which was good!
“However, your general manager is no longer here, so shouldn’t you consider appointing someone to replace him?”
Just before Lucas was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly gave this suggestion while looking at Jane in front of him.
