Chapter 660: Another Refusal
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Like Bruce, Damon was also surprised to receive a sudden call from Clent.
“So it’s you, Mr. Cole. What’s the matter?” Damon’s tone was extrely calm and indifferent.
Currently, the Parkers had already beco the largest and supre family in the whole of LA with Lucas’s help. They had even taken over many businesses, so their overall power and strength were on par with the three giants of San Francisco—the Coles, the Kingstons, and the Walkers.
From a certain perspective, Damon’s current status was actually comparable to Edmund’s, while Clent was just a junior. Thus, Damon didn’t need to have any scruples and respect for him.
Clent was aware of this too, so he spoke much more politely in front of Damon.
“Mr. Parker, here’s the thing. I have sothing to ask of you,” Clent said politely.
“Haha, Mr. Cole, you must be joking. You are a mber of the Cole family. If there’s anything, you can just say so directly. If I can provide any help, I will definitely help.” Damon chuckled.
He had dealt with Clent twice before. But on those two occasions, Clent had behaved haughtily and ordered Damon around without any respect even though Damon was as old as his father.
Clent’s polite attitude today was a stark contrast to before.
Damon felt proud because of this.
But Damon was well aware that all of this was given to him by Lucas. Otherwise, the Parkers would still be competing against other families in LA today, and Clent wouldn’t be taking him seriously at all.
“Okay, since you’re so straightforward, I’ll cut to the chase. Mr. Parker, I hope that the Parkers will sever all ties with Lucas Gray and not provide him with any help in the future!” Clent said.
“What?!” Damon rubbed his ears, wondering if he heard wrong.
“Mr. Cole, what did you just say? Who do you want the Parkers to sever ties with?” Damon asked again with his brows furrowed.
“Lucas Gray, that penniless orphan who managed to climb his way up after marrying Cheyenne Carter as a live-in husband. You should know him right, Mr. Parker?” Edmund asked through gritted teeth.
Damon frowned, the furrow between his brows so deep that a fly would be clamped to death between them. He corrected in a strange tone, “Mr. Gray isn’t an orphan. He’s a Hutton from DC.”
Clent snorted with laughter. “How is he considered a Hutton? According to my information, he was disowned and kicked out by the Huttons twenty years ago, and the Huttons don’t even acknowledge him! Mr. Parker, you’ve probably been deceived by him.
“But that’s understandable. Lucas is very cunning, and he’s really good at leveraging on the power of others. It’s no wonder that he’s still doing well now.
“But this young man is way too arrogant and conceited. Relying on the power he borrowed, he goes around causing trouble everywhere. Not only has he offended the Taylors and the Wallaces of the four top families in Orange County, but he even had the guts to go to the Kingston residence to cause trouble. In the end, the Kingstons spared him only because of the power of the Parkers and the Coles.
“He’s just a nobody wreaking havoc everywhere. I don’t think there’s a need for you to befriend him, right, Mr. Parker?”
Due to his dissatisfaction with Lucas, Clent made Lucas sound incorrigible and even belittled him greatly.
But every ti Clent belittled Lucas, Damon’s face beca even darker. Toward the end, he looked absolutely gloomy.
“Mr. Cole, so you want the Parkers to sever all ties with Lucas Gray?” Damon said through clenched teeth.
But Clent failed to notice the suppressed burning fury in Damon’s tone, and he even thought that Damon was seriously considering his suggestion. He quickly said, “That’s right! To be honest, my family and I are already extrely dissatisfied with that punk Lucas Gray. Yet he’s still behaving arrogantly by relying on these relations. So I really hope that your family can sever ties with him and teach him a good lesson!
“Also, I won’t let the Parkers play the bad guy for nothing. In the future, as long as the Parkers need help, the Coles will definitely support you! If you intend to develop in San Francisco, the Coles can also serve as a solid backer for your family!” Clent once again offered a tempting condition.
The caller on the other end stayed silent for two seconds before Damon suddenly roared furiously, “Clent Cole, is there sothing wrong with you? Who are you to decide who the Parkers befriend?
“Don’t think that everyone is as stupid as you! You’re not qualified to judge what kind of a person Mr. Gray is! Let tell you, Mr. Gray is the most honored guest of our family. Even if the Coles fall out with us, I will definitely not agree to sever ties with Mr. Gray. Do you understand?”
After lashing out at Clent, Damon imdiately hung up without giving Clent the chance to respond.
“…” Holding his phone tightly in hand, Clent stood dumbfounded in place without reacting for a long ti.
Damon’s words were still ringing in his ears.
As the only son of Edmund, the head of the Cole family, it had been a long ti since Clent got reprimanded badly and had soone hang up on him.
If it was soone else, Clent would have used the power of the Coles to kill them.
But since he was facing Damon, the helmsman of the Parkers, who had recently risen in strength and was almost on par with the Coles, Clent had no choice but to bear with it.
If this matter spread to his father’s ears, he would probably say that Damon had done a good job reprimanding him. He might even force him to apologize to Damon.
Thus, he could only grit his teeth and tolerate it for now.
But Damon’s attitude clearly showed that the Parkers would rather go to war with the Coles than sever ties with Lucas.
“Damn it! What the hell is this?
“Lucas Gray is just an abandoned son of the Huttons. He doesn’t have any family protection and is rely a live-in son-in-law. Why are these two old fogies acting so strangely and going all out to defend him?
“Do I really have to watch that punk act all arrogant in front of while being unable to do anything to him? Damn it!”
Clent was so furious that he started cursing before slamming his phone onto the floor.
Smack!
