THE FORMIDABLE SON-IN-LAW: THE CHARISMATIC LUCAS GRAY

Just as Brian was about to walk to the elevator, the elevator doors suddenly opened, and a young man with a cold and hostile aura walked out. He hollered, “Who is it? Who dares to cause trouble on the Parkers’ turf?!”

Six tall and burly bodyguards followed him out of the elevator. They were firmly blocking the elevator as a murderous tension filled the air.

Brian panicked and took several steps backward, his heart full of nervousness and panic.

As someone from LA, he naturally recognized at a glance who the nobly-dressed young man in front of him was.

“Mr… Mr. Parker!” Brian hurriedly greeted him.

The young man was none other than Kenneth, the scion of the Parkers and the owner of the Heavenly Pavilion. Brian didn’t dare to offend him in the slightest.

“Brian Klein, what exactly do you mean by what you just said? Repeat yourself!” Vanessa finally processed what Brian had just said, but she was in complete disbelief of this fact. She dashed over and grabbed Brian’s shirt.

She and Brian were clearly deeply in love with each other, and Brian had even promised to meet her parents to ask for her hand in marriage. So she was confused as to why he would suddenly break up with her and say that he would no longer have anything to do with her.

Vanessa refused to believe it no matter what!

“Let go!” Brian pushed Vanessa away forcefully, pushing her onto the floor.

She had a hard fall, but he didn’t even bat an eyelid, and his face was covered in disgust and disdain.

“I’ve long had enough of you, you incorrigible, foolish, and shameless wench! What else do you do every day besides pouting, whining, acting coquettish, and pestering me to buy you clothes and jewelry or give you money?

“If you hadn’t thrown yourself at me and climbed into my bed, do you think I would have given you a second glance? People always say that the ugly ones are the greatest troublemakers, but why do you still think you’re some angel? Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror and see if you still look decent without makeup?

“What else do you see besides money? What does how much money I have have to do with you? Have you ever earned a single cent yourself? You’re just like a bloodsucking leech who only knows to pester me to buy you this and that!

“I was just toying with you, you hideous and shameless woman. Do you think I’d really spend so much money on you?

“Hmph, I might as well tell you the truth. Your emerald bracelet, earrings, ring, clothes, and handbag are all high-grade counterfeits that I got someone to help me get from the black market! They cost less than a few hundred dollars in total!

“I’ve had enough of your stupidity. You’re such an idiot! You just had to drag me to the Heavenly Pavilion and ask me to buy you things worth millions. Do you think my money grows on trees? Even if it does, why should I spend my money on you?

“You’re the one who broke the vase yourself, so you should pay for it. What does it have to do with me? We’re just friends with benefits who have slept with each other for a few months. I never had anything to do with you!

“I’m also making it clear to you today that you’re not allowed to come pester me again in the future. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up whenever I see you. Do you hear me?!” Brian roared furiously, revealing the truth about everything in order to break off ties with Vanessa completely.

Vanessa never thought that the truth would be so cruel. She thought that she had finally found the perfect man and kept bragging about him, but he was just toying with her. He had even fooled her with worthless counterfeits!

After getting pushed by Brian, Vanessa fell onto the floor. But the physical pain was nothing compared to the emotional pain she was feeling!

She thought she had finally found a rich man who could give her a life of luxury. But now, she felt as if she had fallen from the sky, as if her whole world had collapsed.

A woman getting ruthlessly abandoned by a heartless man should have been something worthy of sympathy.

But except for Kenneth and his men, everyone else present had witnessed how arrogant and domineering Vanessa was. She had humiliated and mocked her former best friend and her penniless boyfriend just because she had found herself a rich boyfriend.

Now that Vanessa had been dumped by her boyfriend, whom she often bragged about in every way, everyone felt that she deserved it and had brought it upon herself. No one sympathized with her at all.

Vanessa was the only person unwilling to accept this reality.

Sitting on the floor, she began shaking her head hysterically.

“No, this is impossible! Brian, you clearly said that I’m the person you love the most and the one you want to marry and spend the rest of your life with. How could you possibly do this to me?

“You even said that you’d visit my parents soon and ask for my hand in marriage. You also said that you’ve prepared an expensive betrothal gift for me!

“The emerald bracelet and diamond ring you gave me were clearly bought from the Heavenly Pavilion. You told me you spent millions just so I could be happy. How can they possibly be cheap counterfeits?

“Brian, tell me that you’re just joking with me. You must be joking, right? Everything you just said to me is a lie, right?”

Tears were streaming down Vannessa’s face, but she still couldn’t help looking at Brian expectantly, hoping to hear an affirmative answer from him.

But Brian merely glanced at her tear-stained face covered in smudged makeup. With disgust in his eyes, he said coldly, “What a fool. I’ve already told you everything. What are you expecting? Are you still dreaming of being Cinderella? Yes, my family is indeed richer than yours, but why should I marry an ugly, poor, and stupid woman like you?

“Even if I get married, I will definitely marry someone worthy and compatible with my family. Look at yourself. What about you is worthy of me?

“In terms of looks, you’re just mediocre. You’re not pretty at all!

“In terms of family background… Hah, you kept complaining to me about how poor your family is. Your family is still expecting you to feed them, aren’t they?

“In terms of character and talent… Hah, you have no ambitions, and you’re just a materialistic, tacky, and incompetent woman. In the last two years, has your monthly salary ever been above three thousand?

“Hmph, tell me. Just what attribute of yours is good enough for me?”

Brian was merciless as he relentlessly criticized Vanessa to the point where she seemed worthless.

Vanessa was heartbroken and unwilling to believe the fact that she had just been dumped like this.

“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! You… said so many sweet nothings to me and gave me so many gifts. You clearly still love me! I don’t believe it!” she yelled hysterically.

Brian said in annoyance, “How can you be so stupid?! If you don’t believe me, then take off the ring and bracelet you’re wearing and let the staff of the Heavenly Pavilion authenticate them. I wish you’d hurry up and die so that you’ll stop pestering me!”

Hearing this, Vanessa hurriedly got up from the floor as if she had found a straw to clutch at and rushed to the service desk nearby. She frantically took off the diamond ring, emerald bracelet, and earrings she was wearing and pushed them to the jewelry appraiser in front of her.

“Sir, quickly help me authenticate them and tell me if they’re genuine or not.. Tell me if they’re from the Heavenly Pavilion,” she said with great panic.
