Chapter 648: Triggered By A Touch

Nate initially thought that Lucas was just a nobody from a poor family who was trying to mingle with them and join the party through connections because he was dressed in extremely plain and ordinary clothes. He reckoned that his outfit probably cost less than a hundred dollars in total. Compared to the large fleet of luxury cars in the parking lot, Lucas’s Jaguar, which cost only about 80 grand, seemed extremely shabby too.

Yet such a shabby small fry had actually snatched Nate’s parking space, making him extremely displeased. So he had immediately stopped Lucas from leaving and told him to move his lousy car away.

He didn’t expect the man, whom he thought was penniless, would be so ignorant as to ignore him and disregard his presence. Nate lost his temper and instructed his bodyguards to smash Lucas’s car to teach him a lesson.

But it was now revealed that Connor, the current helmsman of the Hale family, and Kenneth, the scion of the Parker, both actually knew Lucas and were extremely respectful toward him. This made Nate’s heart skip a beat.

Could this young man actually be the scion of a wealthy family who usually keeps a low profile?

If it was someone from a wealthy family in California, he would still be inferior to him because no one in the state was on par with the top three families of San Francisco.

In that case, the only possibility was that Lucas was from another state. He thought that perhaps Lucas was the scion of a wealthy family in DC!

As soon as Nate thought of this possibility, an ominous feeling surged in his heart while a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

After all, he had just ordered his bodyguards to smash Lucas’s car to pieces!

Nate began to panic and get a little flustered, but he nevertheless forced himself to seem calm as he asked, “It seems to be the first time I’ve seen you, buddy. Which family are you from?”

He thought he was hiding it well, as if he was just casually getting to know someone new, but the nervousness and worries deep in his eyes couldn’t escape Lucas’s eyes.

Although Lucas didn’t know that Nate had smashed his car, he knew that Nate had quite a bit of scruples toward him and was thus pretentiously trying to find out his identity.

Lucas said composedly, “I’m not the son of some wealthy family. I’m just someone who doesn’t have parents or a family to protect me. I can’t be compared to you, Mr. Walker.”

Lucas’s mother had passed away because of an illness six years ago, and he had never acknowledged the man from the Hutton family, his so-called father, as his parent at all.

As long as the Huttons didn’t create trouble for him every other day and tried to suppress him in every possible way so that he couldn’t make a comeback, he would be thankful enough.

He would never get any protection or help from this family.

Of course, Lucas didn’t consider himself a Hutton either. The Huttons were nothing but his enemies, and one day, he would return to the Huttons to take back everything that should rightfully belong to him and his mother. There was no other relationship between him and them beyond this.

Nate didn’t believe Lucas’s words.

If Lucas was really an orphan who didn’t have a family to back him up, how could the prideful Connor and Kenneth possibly stand behind him and willingly show him so much respect?

Nate wasn’t a fool. He felt that Lucas was definitely the scion of some top wealthy family and that he deliberately said those words in order to conceal his identity.

He naturally didn’t believe it and wanted to ask a few more questions, but someone suddenly sneered beside him.

“Hah, you brat, given your status and background, how dare you attend Miss Cole’s birthday party? Who gave you the guts? Also, what’s up with your attitude when Mr. Walker is speaking to you?! How dare you speak to him so casually? It seems that you’re indeed a bottom-feeder of society who needs to be taught a lesson!” Dallas rebuked while pointing at Lucas with a contemptuous expression.

The faces of the four people present immediately turned dark.

Connor, Kenneth, and Lena were all piqued.

“Dallas Watson, how dare you insult Mr. Gray? Apologize to Mr. Gray immediately!” Connor’s face turned sullen as he exuded the aura of a superior helmsman of a notable family, and a massive sense of oppression weighed down on Dallas.

“Yes. Do you think someone like you can humiliate Mr. Gray? Apologize to him immediately, or else the Parkers won’t let you and your family off!” Kenneth stared at Dallas with a gloomy expression.

Lucas was now the actual controller of the Hale family and the Parker family. Even they didn’t dare to offend him, and yet Dallas had the audacity to speak to him so rudely!

Besides, both of them knew that Lucas was definitely not a pushover. If he was angered, he would definitely put anyone to shame regardless of the occasion.

If Alexis’s party was ruined because of them, the Coles would likely be displeased too.

None of them wanted to see that scene.

Lena said indignantly, “I don’t think Lucas was being rude at all. Dallas, you’re just picking on him! Moreover, who are you to lecture Lucas? Lucas is a guest invited by the Coles, and since the Coles haven’t even said anything, who are you to disparage a guest?”

The three of them were all on Lucas’s side, and since they had a common enemy, they were all very united, making Dallas overwhelmed with fury.

Nate looked disgruntled too.

He had wanted to find out Lucas’s identity by asking, but the dimwit Dallas suddenly interjected and made everything even worse than before.

He frowned and tried to make Dallas shut up, but Dallas was angered by what Connor, Kenneth, and Lena said. So he leveraged on his identity as Nate’s friend and mocked them without hesitation.

“Connor Hale, Kenneth Parker, and Lena Sawyer, you don’t actually have to lick Lucas Gray’s boots. He’s just a penniless punk who has nothing to his name and no family to support him. You people are the only ones who treat him as a gem. There must be something wrong with you!

“Look at his shabby clothes. It probably adds up to less than a hundred bucks. What kind of garbage is that? If not for the fact that today is the birthday party of Alexis, the Coles’ little princess, I would have already taught him a lesson!

“And, Mr. Walker, look at them. None of them take you seriously at all. I really feel so aggrieved for you! This is absurd!”

After criticizing them, Dallas even deferentially complained about them to Nate like a dog, deliberately fanning the flames.

Nate’s face was about to turn pale, but the foolish Dallas actually thought that he was mad at Lucas and Connor because of his instigation. He even smiled smugly.

The rest of the guests looked over and thought to themselves that they were in for a good show!

At this moment, the piano music in the banquet hall suddenly changed, and a commotion broke out among the crowd.

Someone exclaimed, “Look, our birthday girl is coming out!”
