The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray-Chapter 1121 - 1121 Sent Abroad

1121 Sent Abroad

The matter Flynn mentioned immediately caught Alexander by surprise.

They were content enough to join the Stardust Corporation, but he didn’t expect that Lucas would entrust them with such an important task as expanding the business into the overseas market.

There was a considerable degree of freedom in the process of expanding into foreign markets. They would be in charge of all matters and finances, and all they had to do was report regularly to the Stardust Corporation headquarters.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, if someone had evil intentions and squandered or appropriated the massive amount of start-up funds allocated by the Stardust Corporation abroad, no one would find out.

They could even abscond with the funds, and it would be difficult to find their whereabouts since they would be abroad.

Thus, generally speaking, such tasks would usually be handed over only to those that the company trusted.

But now, Lucas actually handed such an important task to them. This showed that he trusted them greatly!

While being extremely touched, Alexander made up his mind that he would try his best not to let Lucas down.

“Alright, Mr. Davis, I have no objections,” Alexander said excitedly.

Elise nodded. “Thank you for your trust in us, Mr. Davis and Mr. Gray. We have no objections.”

Only Ashley was left. Looking at her mother and brother, she bit her lip without agreeing immediately. Instead, she seemed hesitant to speak.

Flynn smiled and asked, “Miss Steele, do you have any ideas? Feel free to raise them.”

Hearing this, Ashley looked encouraged. She mustered up the courage and was just about to speak when Elise suddenly stopped her. “Ashley, your brother and I have decided to go overseas to help the company expand its market. Since we’re a family, shouldn’t you go with us?”

Then Elise shot her daughter a meaningful look. The meaning in her eyes was obvious.

Ashley’s lips trembled for a while, but she eventually closed her mouth, lowered her head, covered her slightly red eyes, and said in low spirits, “Yes, you’re right, Mom. I’m naturally going to go with you.”

As an experienced white-collar worker who had been in society for countless years, Flynn was extremely good at reading people’s expressions. Seeing the micro expressions of Ashley and Elise, he naturally understood that there might be some other matters involved. But since it was a private matter, he wouldn’t ask about it.

Looking at the three of them, Flynn said, “Alright, since the three of you have agreed, then this matter is settled. I’ll come up with a general plan for you later, and then I’ll hand over the Stardust Corporation’s overseas expansion to your hands.

“For the next few days, you should go through the relevant procedures and formalities while familiarizing yourselves with the company. Once I’m done planning, you can go abroad to start the expansion!”

Alexander, Elise, and Ashley nodded and said in unison, “Alright, thank you, Mr. Davis.”

Flynn arranged a personal office for the three of them and instructed the company’s administrative staff to bring a few company documents over.

After everyone left, Elise looked at Ashley, held her hand, and said seriously, “Ashley, I know what you wanted to say just now, and I also know that you don’t want to go abroad, but I have to tell you that what you are thinking about is impossible.

“As you know, he’s already married. Even I admire an outstanding man like him, let alone young people like you.

“I know you like him, and that’s normal, but you must be clear that nothing will come out of it.

“So it’s better to deal with the pain quickly and give up on him now so that you won’t feel worse in the future.”

“And now that the company has given us a great opportunity to go abroad to expand the overseas market, I believe you’ll be able to get over your budding adoration for him and get out of this smitten state when you’re exposed to a new environment.”

Elise didn’t rebuke Ashley sternly but instead advised her earnestly with some heartache.

If Lucas wasn’t married, an outstanding man like him would definitely have many suitors, and he would also be an ideal son-in-law for Elise.

But Lucas was already married, had an adorable daughter, and in a loving relationship with his wife.

In that case, it was impossible for another woman to come between them.

Moreover, not to mention that the relationship between Lucas and his wife couldn’t be shaken at all, Elise didn’t want to see Ashley suffering because of such a relationship either.

Ashley’s eyes reddened again, and she remained silent.

When Alexander saw this, his heart ached with a bit of self-reproach.

If he hadn’t brought Ashley to Club Illuma yesterday and let her meet Lucas, she wouldn’t be in such a miserable dilemma right now.

After a moment of silence, Ashley raised her head and said with a smile, “Okay, Mom, I know. Actually… I don’t like him romantically. I just think he’s a really great guy, so I admire him. That’s all. Don’t worry. I know what to do.”

She took a deep breath and said, “I’ll go abroad with you. We’re a family, so of course we should be together!”

Although Ashley was all smiles, her closest kin, Alexander and Elise, could tell that she was forcing herself to smile.

The feelings of adoration for someone were the purest and most beautiful in the world, so Alexander and Elise were both a little distressed to see Ashley acting like this.

Elise stroked Ashley’s hair and said lovingly, “Sweetheart, there are many good men out there, so take your time and pick wisely. Since we’ve received Mr. Gray’s kindness and obtained the opportunity to work in the Stardust Corporation, we should focus on work for now and try to familiarize ourselves with the company as soon as possible.”

Then she handed out copies of the company information, system guidelines, and so on to Ashley and Alexander.

The three of them immediately started getting busy with work. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

…

Meanwhile, Lucas didn’t leave the Stardust Corporation and instead remained in a separate conference room.

Flynn was reporting the latest development progress of Stardust City to him.

“Lucas, Professor Crawford is very efficient, and she has already designed a complete drawing based on the information from the survey. In no time, the overall 3D model of Stardust City will be completed.

“Once this is done, I’ll take you to have a look. If there’s anything you’d like to modify, you can do so easily with the reference model,” Flynn said emotionally.

Lucas nodded. “Very good. Professor Crawford is really a professional. It’s really impressive that she managed to complete all the design drawings in such a short time!”

“But her safety is of utmost importance too. You have to pay attention to it. As you have seen, the Hills have their eyes on that plot of land as well. We can’t be sure they won’t try to harm her.”

Flynn hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Lucas. I have sent several bodyguards to protect Professor Crawford around the clock. Everything will be fine!”

But the moment he finished speaking, his cell phone suddenly rang. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

“Mr. Davis, bad news. Professor Crawford has been injured and is being transported to the hospital!”
