A trace of anger flashed in Florence's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
In her eyes, even though Lucas was now a bigwig and the overlord of Oregon and California, he had married Cheyenne. Thus, he was also her son-in-law and should respect her, his mother-in-law.
But Lucas was still speaking to her in this tone, making Florence extremely displeased.
"Okay, I won't waste my breath on babbling nonsense with you. You should know that I came to California because of a mission given by the Howards, right?"
Lucas raised his eyebrows without answering.
Of course he knew that Florence suddenly appeared in California to achieve a certain goal. Because she had gone around asking about the Master of California, he could guess what the Howards' plans were.
Furthermore, he was now not only the Master of California but the overlord of both California and Oregon. He was likely even more valuable to the Howards.
