Chapter 253: The Parkers

Hearing that Tristan knew Cheyenne, Lucas narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Yes.”

Very few people knew that Cheyenne and Lena were best friends because they rarely met and mostly communicated through emails or text messages.

The fact that Tristan knew exactly who Lena’s best friend was showed that he must have deliberately investigated it.

His overly-controlling behavior was truly terrifying.

Tristan tilted his head upward and guffawed out loud. “Haha, I was wondering who it was that dared to covet my woman. I didn’t expect it to be you, a good-for-nothing who freeloads off his wife! So, are you thinking of hooking up with Lena and marrying her to become the live-in son-in-law of Ethan Sawyer just because Cheyenne Carter and her parents have been disowned by the Carters? Let me tell you, forget about it! You’re not even worthy enough to kneel down and lick my shoes!”

“That’s enough! Tristan Parker, don’t go too far! Lucas isn’t someone you can slander!” Lena was really exasperated because Lucas was the savior of her life, and she felt that there was no reason for Tristan, who had nothing except a wealthy family, to belittle him.

In Lena’s opinion, Tristan was just a rich second-generation heir who did nothing except idle about all day. Besides, he was also extremely possessive of her. Since a long time ago, he had been repeatedly trying to interfere with her life, her friendships, and her interests. It was to the extent that he wished he could lock her up for his sole possession.

There was once a boy who confessed his feelings to Lena. But he ended up having both his legs broken, his tongue cut off, and his body battered with bruises the day after.

So Lena had long developed a fear toward Tristan’s excessively possessive behavior, so much so that she would shun and avoid him whenever she saw him.

The thought of marrying such a person and spending the rest of her life with him gave Lena the creeps.

There was absolutely no way she would marry Tristan!

Seeing how protective Lena was of Lucas, Tristan flew into an uncontrollable rage. “Punk, you’re really a freeloader and a coward, aren’t you? You actually need a woman to protect you. Are you still a man?! I’m truly furious now! If you kneel down, kowtow to me, and swear that you’ll never show up beside Lena again, I’ll consider sparing you this time. Otherwise, I will make your life a living hell!”

Tristan was smiling sinisterly with a peculiar and terrifying expression.

Two tall and burly bodyguards walked over from behind Tristan to block Lucas, seeming as though they would take action once Lucas disagreed with Tristan’s request.

When Lena saw the terrifying expression on Tristan’s face, her heart sank, and she immediately thought of the boy who had his legs broken and flesh badly mangled years ago.

A tremendous sense of disgust arose in Lena’s heart as she shielded Lucas and said coldly, “Tristan, get your facts right. This is Orange County, not your family’s home ground in LA! If you dare to mess around and lay a finger on him, I won’t spare you!”

At this moment, the pretty Lena, who had been behaving delicately like a dainty woman, was giving off a menacing aura.

Even Tristan was somewhat subdued by her domineering aura. But a moment later, his eyes were full of infatuation and zeal!

He had never seen such a side to Lena before!

She was much more attractive than before!

Sensing the disgusting gaze that Tristan cast on her, Lena took out her phone and immediately dialed a number. “Uncle Alan, it’s me. Send all the senior bodyguards of the Sawyers to The Loft now!”

As the most powerful family in Orange County, the Sawyers naturally had tighter security measures for their family members than other powerful families in the county. They had a large team of competent bodyguards.

Lena actually called all the bodyguards over just to protect Lucas because Tristan wanted him to kneel and kowtow.

Tristan’s face became extremely sullen, and he laughed mirthlessly before hollering, “Fine, Lena, you’re really heartless, huh?! I’ve been putting in my heart and soul for you all these years, yet you’re treating me like this for another man!”

Looking heartbroken because Lena had let him down, he said with great disappointment, “Lena, I truly didn’t expect you to treat me like this!”

Lena immediately rolled her eyes. “I’ve already repeated myself many times. I don’t like you at all, and I’ve never had feelings for you either. I just want you to stop pestering me! Please stop acting like you’re so devoted to me, will you?”

Since the beginning, Lucas had been standing still, seemingly completely uninvolved except when he stopped Tristan from slapping Lena.

He turned a deaf ear to Tristan’s insults and didn’t feel any emotions about Lena’s action to protect him.

After all, regardless of what happened between them, it had nothing to do with him.

The scuffle drew the attention of many patrons of the restaurant.

It happened to be noon, and there were many patrons currently in the restaurant. Moreover, they were arguing rather loud too, so the patrons guessed that Lucas, Lena, and Tristan were involved in a love triangle. Besides, the bodyguards were also present, thus attracting even more attention.

They whispered among themselves and began speculating about the cliché scenes that usually only happened in movies.

“Shouldn’t love and marriage exist only between two willing parties? That girl has said several times that she’s not willing to be in a relationship with him, but that man keeps pestering her. He’s really going overboard.”

“Yeah! That young man didn’t say anything, yet the other man wants him to kneel down and kowtow to him. He’s really arrogant!”

“Yeah, I heard he’s not even from this county. Why is he so arrogant? He’s acting like a king.”

“In my opinion, that beauty is obviously fond of this tall and handsome young man. They were just having lunch, and this person came out of nowhere to create such a ruckus. They might get into a brawl soon!”

When Tristan heard the chatter of the crowd, his face became even more gloomy and sullen as he hollered furiously, “Get lost! What are you looking at? I’m a Parker, and we’re a top family in LA. You people are just nobodies. Get lost now!”

After being lashed out at for no reason, the onlookers looked at Tristan like they were looking at an idiot.

But many people had heard of the Parkers before, and they were indeed a wealthy family whom ordinary people like them couldn’t afford to provoke.

At the thought of this, many onlookers snorted coldly before silently backing away.

Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly. “You’re one of the Parkers from LA?”
