Charlotte giggled before saying, “As long as you don’t forget. Take me out to play whenever you’re free!”
Lucas laughed. “I won’t forget. Once you’re free, I’ll take you out. I never go back on my word.”
Charlotte immediately became joyful and smiled. “Okay, since you’ve said that, I’ll be even more motivated at work! I’ll try to finish up sooner!”
Lucas stayed in the company for a while longer. Seeing that everything was proceeding smoothly and that nothing had gone wrong because of the sudden business, he left the Stardust Corporation confidently.
But just as he arrived downstairs and walked out of the office, a tall and burly man wearing sunglasses suddenly blocked him.
“Are you Lucas Gray? My madam wants to see you.” The man went straight to the point without wasting his breath on any nonsense.
Lucas immediately frowned. Madam? Who wants to see me?
Unfortunately, he wasn’t interested at all.
There was no one in California who was qualified to summon him.
“No matter who your madam is, she has to come to meet me in person if she wants to see me,” he said coldly and then walked past the man toward the parking lot nearby.
A trace of anger immediately appeared on the man’s face.
“Punk, don’t be ignorant! Do you know how honorable my madam is?” he shouted angrily and appeared in front of Lucas in a flash to block him.
This time, perhaps because he was angry, he was exuding an extremely powerful aura and ready to force Lucas into submission with physical force.
This aura made Lucas slightly surprised.
The aura emanating from the man in front of him was more imposing than anyone Lucas had seen since he returned to Orange County!
Even Stanley was no match for this man.
Clearly, the person who could have a bodyguard of this level definitely had an impressive identity.
Lucas raised his eyebrow. “Who is your madam? You can’t possibly be unable to tell me your family background, right?”
The man replied proudly, “My madam is a Howard, the Howards who are one of the eight giants of DC.”
Seeing Lucas remaining nonchalant after hearing the Howards’ name, the man had a look of displeasure. “My madam said that she wants to speak to you about Cheyenne Carter.”
If Lucas had only heard the previous sentence, he wouldn’t have bothered to pay attention.
So what if she was a Howard? Lucas wasn’t afraid of her family and wouldn’t compliantly speak to her.
But what the man said afterward immediately made Lucas’s expression change.
A noblewoman from one of DC’s eight most powerful families wanted to talk to him about his wife.
Since it was about Cheyenne, Lucas wouldn’t ignore it regardless of what she wanted to say to him.

“Lead the way,” Lucas said indifferently.
The man pursed his lips, seemingly dissatisfied with Lucas’s attitude, but he didn’t say anything else. He led Lucas to a relatively low-key black Mercedes-Benz nearby and opened the door of the backseat.
A noblewoman dressed very luxuriously was sitting inside the car. She seemed to be in her early forties and had maintained her appearance very well.
“Madam, I’ve brought him here.” The man bent forward slightly and reported.
The noblewoman in the car raised her head and looked at Lucas. “You’re Lucas Gray, the live-in husband of Cheyenne Carter?”
Her voice was quite gentle and pleasant, but her tone was full of contempt and condescension, which was rather unpleasant.
“Since you’ve specially had someone come look for me, you must have already found out about my identity long ago. What’s the point of asking me that redundant question?” Lucas said coldly.
A trace of displeasure appeared in the noblewoman’s eyes, as if Lucas had offended her with his words.
“Get in the car and talk!” she commanded with an icy cold expression, her voice much colder than before.
Lucas was also very uncomfortable with this woman who suddenly appeared, and her commanding attitude made Lucas frown even more.
But at the thought that she was going to talk to him about Cheyenne, he got inside the car patiently.
In the spacious commercial car, there were no other people. Even the driver had gotten out. Lucas and the noblewoman were the only ones in the car.
“Tell me what you want from me.” Lucas said directly without any nonsense.
But the noblewoman didn’t say anything and instead sized Lucas up several times with a critical gaze.
Lucas noticed that she was looking at his face very seriously, as if she was trying to find something on it. But when she looked at his ordinary clothes, she pursed her lips slightly with a disdainful and condescending expression.
Lucas sat still, allowing her to size him up.
After a long while, the noblewoman finally looked away and said, “Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, the child kicked out by the Huttons together with Emma back then has already grown so old.”
Lucas’s heart stirred when he heard this woman mention his mother’s name.
“You knew my mother back then?” Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly.
The noblewoman facing him smiled faintly. “Of course. Your mother was a famous figure in DC back then. She was beautiful and successful at a young age, and she even established the Stardust Corporation. She was much more capable than the children and grandchildren that many powerful families had dedicated to training.
“At the time, nearly half of DC’s rich and powerful scions were infatuated with her. They wished they could marry her immediately.
“Unfortunately, although Emma was very capable, she came from an ordinary background with no powerful family to rely on. None of the powerful families considered letting her marry their male descendants.
“But later on, she got together with Michael Hutton and even got pregnant out of wedlock, causing countless tongues to wag in DC. In the end, due to the gossip and Emma being pregnant with the flesh and blood of a Hutton, the Huttons allowed her to give birth to the child and then brought her home. But they never gave her a proper status.
“Later on, the year you turned seven, Emma and you were kicked out by the Huttons and forbidden from returning to DC for the rest of your lives. Am I right about all this?”
The noblewoman nonchalantly recounted everything that had happened to Lucas and Emma in her gentle tone.
When Lucas heard this and Michael Hutton’s name, he exuded a shockingly cold aura.
Michael Hutton, the head of the Huttons, one of the eight most powerful families in DC today, was Lucas’s biological father!
