The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 908

Chapter 908: Rejected

At this moment, a few more guests came over, and they were indeed holding some gold-embossed invitation cards. Then they entered unhindered after being checked.

Only then did Lucas realize that other people did have invitations in their hands.

However, this morning, Ezra had personally gone to the Stardust Corporation headquarters to invite Lucas, but he didn’t give him an invitation card. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have made this mistake.

It was especially so since Ezra was the most outstanding heir of the Howards. There shouldn’t be a case of him forgetting to give his guest an invitation card.

So, could there be some other reason?

Lucas felt that there was a conspiracy.

“Lucas is a guest whom Ezra Howard personally invited. Are you sure you want to stop him from entering? If Ezra Howard finds out, I’m afraid he won’t let you off easily.” Jordan looked at the two guards stopping Lucas at the door.

“Hah? Are you joking?” The two guards immediately laughed as if they had heard a big joke. “Mr. Ezra? He’s the most outstanding third-generation heir of the Howards and the best candidate for the future successor of the family! Apart from the few powerful families in DC, who is qualified for him to invite personally? How dare you lie through your teeth here?!”

The two guards spoke loudly and immediately attracted the gazes of the other guests around.

“These two people said that Mr. Erza invited them personally? What braggarts!”

…

“Mr. Ezra has a high status, and he will only ever invite the elders of wealthy and esteemed families! These two people look like young people in their twenties, and they aren’t that well dressed. How dare they pretend to be friends of Mr. Ezra?”

“Also, they can’t even produce a single invitation card, yet they claim that Mr. Ezra invited them. Isn’t that nonsense?”

“Hmph, I think they want to blend in with the crowd and sneak into the Howard residence. G.o.d knows what they want to do!”

…

The Howards’ birthday banquet was about to start, so there were many guests at the door pointing fingers at Lucas and Jordan.

Jordan was so furious that he immediately felt an urge to roll up his sleeves and go forward to argue with these people.

Given Lucas’s status, he was giving the Howards due respect by agreeing to attend the banquet. How could he possibly be trying to blend in with the crowd to sneak in?

“Hey, Mr… Mr. Gray!” Suddenly, an extremely surprised voice came from behind them.

A beautiful woman wearing a light green fishtail dress immediately hurried over toward Lucas in surprise and excitement. “Mr. Gray, I didn’t expect it to really be you! That’s great!”

Lin Chen looked at the beautiful woman and remembered who she was. “h.e.l.lo, Miss Howard.”

This beautiful woman in front of him was none other than Pamela, whom he had met in Orange County. She was Florence’s niece and Cheyenne’s cousin, and she had once helped Lucas anger Oscar Smith at the auction previously.

The guests who just mocked Lucas and Jordan were all astonished when they saw how kind and polite Pamela was to them.

Could these two people really be friends with the Howards?

Even the two guards who stopped Lucas were shocked.

“Miss Pamela… do you… do you know the two of them?” a guard stammered.

“Nonsense, Mr. Gray is an honored guest of the Howards. Who told you to stop him here? Are you blind?” Pamela glowered at the two guards.

Lucas was her beloved crush, whom she had been carrying a torch for for over a year. She had finally managed to confirm Lucas’s ident.i.ty in California. Pamela had been thinking about Lucas every day since then. So now that Lucas finally showed up at her house, she was on cloud nine. How could she tolerate these guards disrespecting Lucas and stopping him outside the door?

The guards had bitter expressions, but they soon said with a look of determination, “Miss Pamela, we’re acting according to the regulations! Our higher-ups have issued orders for us to stop anyone without an invitation. We hope to have your understanding, Miss Pamela!”

Pamela stomped her feet angrily. “What do you mean by this? Can’t even I take the two of them in?”

The two guards gritted their teeth and said, “That’s right! This is the higher-ups’ rule, and we don’t dare to defy it. Please don’t make things difficult for us, Miss Pamela!”

“You are being unreasonable! If I didn’t have an invitation card, would I be forbidden from entering my own house too?” Pamela said angrily.

The guards looked at each other and insisted, “Miss Pamela, you are a member of the Howards, so of course you can enter. But other people can’t step in without an invitation. There’s nothing else we can do!”

Lucas could naturally tell what was going on since things had already come to this. The guards insisted that no one was allowed to enter without an invitation. Someone from the Howards was clearly targeting him.

If someone hadn’t deliberately instructed these guards, they probably wouldn’t dare to speak so rudely to Pamela and disobey her to forbid him from entering.

“Forget it. Since someone from the Howards doesn’t want me here, I’ll leave.” Lucas sneered and turned around to leave.

“Mr. Gray, please wait a minute. Don’t go!” Seeing Lucas about to leave, Pamela immediately panicked and frantically said, “There’s definitely a misunderstanding. I’ll contact someone right now!”

“Mr. Gray, what… what’s going on here? Why are you leaving before entering?” A gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

The handsome Ezra walked over with a gentle smile on his face.

But when he saw Pamela beside Lucas, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes before vanis.h.i.+ng.

“Mr. Howard, you personally invited me to your grandfather’s birthday banquet today, but you didn’t give me an invitation card. These guards of yours are also very dedicated to their work, and they said that I’m not allowed to enter without an invitation card. In that case, I naturally have to leave!”

Lucas repeated the story. While speaking, he kept staring at Ezra’s expression to find some clues.

But Ezra was first surprised and then annoyed, as if he just realized that he had forgotten about this matter. Finally, he flew into a rage.

Lucas really couldn’t tell if there was anything wrong with Ezra based on his expressions.

Well, unless Ezra’s acting skills were just that good.
