The Son-in-law of the God of War
1137 Do You Dare to Bet?

“Tn. Gray, I'm really sorry. My mom is very stubborn, especially when it comes to design. He refused to allow anyone to make even small changes. Please forgive him if he offends you in any way, ” Paul told Lucas in an apologetic tone.

Lucas said with a smile, “No, not at all. Professor Crawford is a talented person who is serious and passionate about his work. It was an honor for me to help me with the design and planning of Stardust City. How could I possibly blame him?”

“Thank you for your understanding.” Paul sighed and shook his head. “By the way, I really underestimated my mother's persistence. I thought I could persuade him to stay home to recuperate and visit the construction site every few days. But given his temperament, I was worried that he would not listen to me at all.

Lukas agreed.

More than half an hour had passed from the moment Flynn received Paul's call of help to the moment the two of them arrived at the hospital.

For about half an hour, Paul had been trying to convince his mother, but his efforts were clearly in vain.

Since even Gemma's own son can't persuade her, Lucas naturally doesn't think that ‘outside’ guys like him and Flynn can convince her.

After thinking about it, Paul sighed again and said, “Since I can't persuade him to stay at home, I will just follow his wishes and let him go to the construction site to check on him. However, Mr. Gray, I hope you can send more people to protect my mother from further accidents.

“After all, my mother is elderly, and she has a weak heart. Had he fidgeted and fainted again, we do not know if he would have been so lucky next time and saved in time.

Lucas can feel Paul's concern for Gemma.

So he said, “Then, I will send more stronger people to protect Professor Crawford. The same thing will not happen again. Don't worry!”

“OK, then I will trouble you, Mr. Gray,” Paul said to Lucas with gratitude.

In the end, under Gemma's strong insistence, Paul had no choice but to help her get discharged first.

But after leaving the hospital, Gemma went straight to the construction site of Stardust City in the eastern suburbs of DC without even going home. It left Paul, Lucas, and the others feeling helpless.

Lucas and Flynn also rush to the construction site and send the new Stardust Corporation's security chief to arrange enough manpower to protect Gemma.

After setting everything up, Lucas instructed Flynn, “Please take a good look at this issue. Whatever happens, this time we have to protect Professor Crawford well and prevent another accident from happening.

“Also, instruct the construction department to carry out all the construction according to Professor Crawford.” design drawings

“OK, Luke!” Flynn agreed.

“Hey, you are also here!”

As Lucas and Flynn were talking, a clear and sharp female voice suddenly sounded from the side.

The two turned around and saw Leila, Gemma's granddaughter, walking towards them.

It turned out that Leila was worried that her grandmother was coming to the construction site, so she went along.

After seeing Gemma give instructions at the construction site, as well as the people around her, she said, “It seems you did not renege on your words this time, and you actually arranged for the bodyguards to protect my grandmother. Hmm. There are six bodyguards around. They were quite attentive about my grandmother.”

Hearing this, Leila immediately became very interested. He scanned the surroundings and asked doubtfully, “Is that true? But I only saw six bodyguards. Where are the others?”

His actions revealed some childishness, which was far better than his spirit when he attacked Lucas at the hospital yesterday.

Lucas chuckles. “Since they are bodyguards hiding in the shadows, they will naturally not let you find them.”

Leila frowned. “Don't underestimate me! Isn't that just another bodyguard hiding in the crowd? You must agree to my request if I can find all of them. Do you dare to accept this challenge?

Flyn smiled. “Leila, Professor Crawford seems to be calling you. I don't know what it is about. Why don't we go to see him?

Leila ignored Flynn and instead looked at Lucas with a sparkling look. “Do you dare to bet with me?”

Seeing Leila's rare and childish side, Lucas laughed and nodded. “Why not? I can also make the conditions simpler. I've arranged twenty-three bodyguards to keep Professor Crawford in secret. If you can find it, you win.

The bodyguards Lucas arranged at the construction site were all experts Joe had brought in from Orange County. Although their skills were not comparable to the top experts of some powerful families, they were definitely not weak.

It was impossible for a young woman like Leila to find all these bodyguards among the thousands of people on the construction site.

“Alright, I will hold your word!” Leila winked with a triumphant smile and went looking for a bodyguard.

As he walked away, Flynn sighed and said to Lucas, “Lucas, it looks like you will lose this bet.”

“Oh, so? Why do you say that?” Lucas looked at Flynn with a bit of surprise.

Flynn smiled wryly. “I know Laila. He comes from an intellectual family. He himself was a Georgetown University star student, and he was guaranteed a PhD. Her IQ is pretty high.

“In addition, she has excellent observation skills. He can often make a lot of accurate guesses with just a few small clues. He had even helped the police solve some big cases before!

“His observation and reasoning abilities are quite strong, so I thought he would definitely find Joe's subordinates. Besides, you said that he only needed to find one of them to win, so I think he might have won by now.”

Hearing this, even Lucas showed a surprised expression.

He did not expect that the girl who shouted at him in the hospital and behaved childishly just now would have such an amazing ability.

“Since you know about it, why don't you remind me?” Lucas asked, pretending to be upset.

Flynn said innocently, “When Leila had just bet, I tried to interrupt her by changing the subject, but unfortunately, it didn't work. Then you agree to it .. “

Lucas soon remembers Flynn interrupting them by saying that Gemma wanted to say something to Leila and laughed. “Looks like I was negligent!”
