Chapter 626: Lance Contributes His Idea

Vince glanced at the smug-looking Lance and sneered before saying indifferently, “Since Wendy introduced you, you should also know the kind of speech I hate the most, right?”

Lance’s heart trembled before suddenly recalling what Wendy had told him about Vince’s character while they were on the way to the airport. One of the very important things that he had to take note of was never to beat around the bush. He should never try to keep him in suspense either!

The thought of it made Lance break out in cold sweat on his forehead. He had only gotten complacent because he had suddenly thought of a good idea, so he had subconsciously revealed some of the habits he had when dealing with other businessmen.

At this moment, after hearing Vince’s warning, he clearly didn’t dare to keep him in suspense anymore. He quickly lowered his head and said, “Mr. Smith, I’m very sorry! This is what I think. In California, the most powerful families are probably the top three in San Francisco—the Kingstons, the Coles, and the Walkers. Our families have similar strengths, so we’ve only been able to keep each other in balance in recent years, forming a tripartite.

“But just a short while ago, Lucas Gray suddenly barged to the Kingston residence, and only then did I discover that the Coles had joined Lucas Gray at some point in time, so have the Hales, one of the four major families of Orange County; Little Atlantis City, the largest underground force of Orange County; and the Parkers, who have recently risen to power in LA.

“Each individual force may seem too weak, but they all have one thing in common—they are all on Lucas Gray’s side. If they unite under Lucas Gray, I can confidently say that no force in California will be able to contend with them alone!

“Therefore, in order to completely get rid of Lucas Gray and retaliate against him, we have to get rid of these forces behind him too. So, Mr. Smith, if you want to deal with Lucas Gray, you can start with the Coles in San Francisco and remove the biggest force on his side first!

“When Lucas receives the information and comes to their rescue in San Francisco, you can let these two experts around you make a move. They’ll definitely be able to kill Lucas Gray in one fell swoop! This way, all the other forces in his hands will belong to you, and half of your goal to take over all of California will be accomplished!”

Lance revealed his plan.

Worried that Vince didn’t understand the situation in California since he was a big shot from DC, Lance explained to him the distribution of the forces in Orange County, LA, and other major cities.

Since he and Vince had exactly the same goal in some aspects, such as killing Lucas and getting rid of the Coles, he explained his plan in great detail.

Now that the Kingstons had such an excellent godsend opportunity, Lance would seize it and make use of the Smiths’ power to completely get rid of all his eyesores.

After hearing what Lance said, Vince merely raised his brows without saying anything.

Seeing this, Lance couldn’t help feeling cold sweat breaking out on his back again. He kept feeling as if Vince’s sharp eyes had long seen through his agenda.

“Okay, then let’s do as you suggest and destroy the Coles in San Francisco first.”

But in the end, Lance had been too nervous. Vince finally spoke and agreed to his plan, and his tone seemed rather relaxed too.

While Lance was feeling greatly relieved, ecstasy surged in his heart.

Since Vince had accepted his suggestion, the Smiths would probably make the Kingstons their general representative in San Francisco!

“Thank you for your trust, Mr. Smith. I will definitely help you with the arrangements!” Lance bent over with an extremely respectful expression, as if he had already received a great commendation.

“Okay, I’ll leave it to you to take care,” Vince said indifferently, but a mocking smile appeared on his face.

But Wendy, standing next to him, secretly frowned, acutely sensing that something seemed amiss.

Except when he had asked her about Roy’s death with some anger at the beginning, there was no longer any irritation on his face now. It seemed as if he came here with the main purpose of developing the Smiths’ scope of influence and dominating California, as if taking revenge for Roy was incidental.

This is indeed somewhat out of the ordinary. Wendy thought to herself, but she didn’t say anything, though she kept her guard up.

After all, she couldn’t let Vince find out the real cause of Roy’s death. Otherwise, she would be doomed even though she was Vince’s cousin!

Meanwhile, in Orange County…

At this moment, Lucas had returned to the Pearl Lake villa from the airport.

When he left for the airport earlier, it had only been about five in the morning. And now, it was about eight. Cheyenne and Amelia had just gotten out of bed.

Both of them were wearing cute pajamas and had just finished washing up. Cheyenne was in the closet, picking out an outfit for Amelia.

Last night, they had already discussed it and decided to take Amelia out for a day of fun in the amusement park since it was Sunday. So the five-year-old Amelia was extremely excited after waking up. She grabbed her white lace princess dress and wanted to put it on herself.

Lucas leaned against the bedroom door, looking at the heartwarming scene of the mother-daughter duo laughing in the room. His heart melted, and a gentle, heartened smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

When Cheyenne saw his reflection in the dressing mirror, she immediately turned her head and smiled at him. “You’re back from the airport? Has Maddy already left?”

“Yes, the plane has already taken off,” Lucas said as he walked in.

“That’s such a shame. Maddy has painstakingly returned from abroad this time and helped us save Dad’s life, but it feels like I haven’t even had the chance to thank her properly!” Cheyenne said regretfully.

“It’s okay. There will be opportunities in the future. She said that we should go to DC to hang out with her when we have time in the future. I think it’s a good idea.” Lucas smiled.

He was bound to go to DC in the future, and Cheyenne and Amelia had never been there before. He would definitely take them in the future.

Lucas didn’t say much about Maddy and Jordan’s relationship.

Indeed, once Amelia heard that they could go to DC to play, her large eyes immediately lit up, and she began jumping on the carpet in her princess dress. “Great! I’ve never been to DC! I want to go there to play!”

Watching their daughter being as happy as a lark, Lucas and Cheyenne both looked at each other and smiled, tacitly expressing their feelings.

This was the rapport they shared.
