"Stand down!" Lucas hollered at Jordan. "This is a family affair. Go out first."
Jordan reluctantly but obediently withdrew his hand, glowered at Cheyenne's parents again, and left.-
Cheyenne's parents were full of resentment, but they did not dare to get physical with Lucas again.
Jordan's terrifying gaze intimidated them, and they even had some scruples about Lucas.
However, as they looked at Lucas's cheap clothes and calm expression that was almost the same as the past, their worries vanished.
I was thinking too much. A good-for-nothing is still a good-for-nothing! "What are you doing standing at the door? Hurry up and come in, you disgraceful thing!" Karen pushed the door open furiously and entered.
Cheyenne's father humphed coldly, finding Lucas an eyesore.
Lucas followed him and entered the house.
The living room of the Carters' home was very lively at this moment, as it was crowded with more than ten relatives.
Upon sight of Lucas, who came in after Cheyenne's parents, many of them who knew who Lucas was looked puzzled.
"Isn't this... that good-for-nothing? Why is he suddenly back?" "Who? Is this the good-for-nothing you guys mentioned just now? Didn't you say that he already died?" "Who knows? He's been missing for so many years. And now that Mr. Miller is going to get engaged with Cheyenne, he's come scurrying back. Who knows what thoughts he's harboring?’"
"He definitely has evil intentions."
Lucas glanced at the people around him, some of whom used to mock him and some of whom he hadn't met before.
The most striking one was a young man sitting in the center of the couch and gaining the attention of everyone.
He looked around his mid-to-late-twenties and was dressed fashionably, his hair gelled back and his under-eye bags slightly puffy. He was obviously an avid drinker and a lustful person.
He reckoned that he was Mr. Miller, the new fiance that the Carters chose for Cheyenne, whom everyone else was talking about.
Lucas secretly sneered. They're treating this piece of trash like a treasure?
However, Cheyenne was not in the living room, making Lucas, who wanted to see her, feel slightly disappointed.
Visibly annoyed, Karen said, "Okay, we can't be bothered to talk to you either. The point of today's meeting is regarding Mr. Miller and Cheyenne's marriage anyway. You came at the right time. This saves us the hassle of getting your death certificate from the courts. When Cheyenne comes home, immediately go get a divorce with her."
Lucas did not utter a single word.
This group of relatives gathered here suddenly began mocking him sarcastically.
"What? You don't want to get a divorce?"
