Lucas didn’t know why Pamela did this and risked her life to shield him.

Strictly speaking, Lucas had only met Pamela twice, once at the land auction in Orange County and one at the entrance of the Howard residence earlier.

Lucas really couldn’t figure out Pamela’s reason for doing this, but what she did had undoubtedly given him a great impression of her.

Even if the conflict between him and the Howards was irreconcilable later, he would still allow Pamela to remain living.

Samuel glowered at his daughter in anger and annoyance and shouted, “Pamela, hurry up and get out of my way! Do you know that this punk behind you just killed Tiffany, the chairman of Mystique Entertainment, in this banquet hall! He seriously injured Travis, the young head of the Gilded Association. He even injured the six experts working for me!

“If I can’t kill him now and make him pay for what he’s done, the Howards will be greatly embarrassed.

“He must die here today! Hurry up and get out of the way!”

Pamela’s face turned even paler. Ezra’s subordinate had asked her to go somewhere else just now, and she had only returned after handling some important matters. She had no idea about what had just happened in the hall.

But even if she knew that Lucas had done those things and greatly embarrassed the Howards, she couldn’t possibly just stand there and watch her benefactor and Prince Charming die here!

“Dad, just let him go! Ever since I was a child, I have never begged you for anything. But now, I’m begging you not to kill him. Let him off, okay?” Tears welled up in Pamela’s eyes as she begged Samuel.

She was extremely sad.

When she was in Orange County, she had finally found out the true identity of the Prince Charming who saved her back then. But before she could cheer for joy, she discovered that Lucas was already married and even had a five-year-old daughter.

At the time, she was so devastated that she cried bitterly in the hotel. But after crying, she found that she still couldn’t forget Lucas. She still thought about him every single waking moment of her life. Even after she knew his identity, her love for him grew even deeper.

In the end, she couldn’t resist the agony of lovesickness, so she decided not to give up despite knowing that Lucas already had a wife and a daughter.

When she met Lucas at the entrance of the Howard residence today, she was elated, feeling that it was an excellent opportunity that Heaven had given her for them to begin their relationship slowly.

But she didn’t expect to be called away from the hall for half an hour, and things had already developed to the point that Lucas and her father were on the verge of killing each other!

The moment Pamela saw her father holding Lucas at gunpoint and wanting to shoot him, she rushed over without hesitating at all and blocked in front of Lucas.

Pamela was full of misery.

One was her father, while the other was the benefactor who saved her life and the person she loved. She was caught between them, and she didn’t want either of them to be hurt!

Unless she died first!

“Pamela, I told you to get out of the way. Do you hear me? Are you going to disobey your father now?! If you still don’t move aside, I’ll kill you too!” Samuel roared furiously through gritted teeth.

His face was full of murderous intent. He would never let Lucas off just like that!

“Dad, you actually… even want to kill me?” Pamela’s eyes were red as she looked at her father miserably.

After hearing what Samuel said, Pamela felt as if her heart was shattered into pieces.

In order to kill Lucas, Dad doesn’t even care about my life?

In that case, there’s probably only one solution now!

Pamela gritted her teeth and looked at her father. “Dad, you can’t kill me because I’m already pregnant with your grandchild!”

“What? What are you saying?!” Samuel widened his eyes in disbelief. By the time he processed what Pamela said, the look in his eyes became extremely complicated. He was shocked yet happy.

The Howards were rather patriarchal, and women were practically tools for marriage. But their status would be greatly different if they could give birth to a male heir!

“Are… are you really pregnant?” Samuel asked in disbelief.

Pamela nodded firmly. “Yes, how could I lie to you? Besides, I’ve already had it checked at the hospital. It’s a boy!”

“Hahahaha, great! I’m going to be a grandfather. The Howards are going to have another male heir!” Samuel immediately burst into joyous laughter.

But after he finished laughing, he noticed an extremely serious issue. His face suddenly turned sullen as he asked, “Who is the child’s father?”

He remembered that his daughter hadn’t married yet, so which bastard did it?

Everyone watched in shock as Pamela turned around and walked toward Lucas. She peeked at Lucas shyly and sweetly. “It… it’s him!”

Boom! 

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Samuel widened his mouth, and his eyes were about to pop out!

He could have never imagined that the person who got his daughter pregnant was the very same young man he wanted to kill!

At this moment, Lucas was the most shocked and dumbfounded!

He widened his mouth and looked at Pamela in surprise.

He had only met her thrice. How could she possibly be pregnant with his child?!

But Lucas soon realized that Pamela must have said so to save him from Samuel.

But this method would not only hurt Pamela’s reputation, but it would probably not have much of an effect.

What a silly woman… 

Ezra, standing beside Samuel, was also shocked.

He knew that Pamela had been taken away to California by Florence for the sake of marrying Lucas.

At the time, Ezra had secretly followed them to California, so he knew a lot of secrets.

Ezra knew that Pamela and Lucas had met at the land auction of Orange County.

But he had no idea what kind of intimate behavior there was between them.

But he could tell that Pamela had special feelings for Lucas, so it didn’t seem unlikely for her to be pregnant with his child.

Seeing the appearance of this variable, Ezra immediately became gloomy.

If Samuel got a son-in-law like Lucas, not only would the two of them not fight to the death, but Samuel’s position as the soon-to-be helmsman would also be unshakable with Lucas’s help. When the time came, Ezra wouldn’t stand a chance at all!

No, this must never happen!

Ezra’s eyes showed a menacing murderous intent!
