The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

1139 Details of the Gathering

“Awesome!” Lucas gave Leila a thumbs up.

“Hmph, this is nothing. I could tell it at a glance. Only ordinary people like you would think it’s impressive,” Leila said proudly before pulling open the door of the passenger seat and getting inside.

“…” Lucas took a breath, shook his head, and decided not to argue with such a young girl.

He got into the driver’s seat, started the car, and drove to the parking lot by the entrance of Georgetown University as Leila directed.

After answering a phone call, Leila said to Lucas, “My roommates are coming out soon. Let’s wait for them here.”

Lucas nodded.

Since the atmosphere in the car was awkward, they got out and stood at the side to wait.

“Leila, you kept saying you didn’t want to go. I’m surprised you’re the first one here today!”

After waiting for a while, they heard a female voice come from behind them. It belonged to a girl with her hair in a ponytail and wearing a bright red trench coat. She was walking toward Leila.

Beside the girl was a fashionably dressed young man. He was donning a gray designer casual suit with his glossy hair neatly combed back and a Cartier watch on his wrist.

Lucas glanced at the young man and could immediately tell that he was just a superficial person who liked to look rich. The designer suit and Cartier watch that he was wearing were both knockoffs.

But Lucas didn’t expose him.

After all, he didn’t know this man, and it was only an impromptu decision that he was posing as Leila’s boyfriend. He didn’t really want to join her social circle.

No matter who he was, it had nothing to do with Lucas.

“Alyssa, where are the other two?” Leila asked.

The woman in the red trench coat named Alyssa said, “They should be waiting for their boyfriends to come together. They’ll probably be here soon.”

After speaking, she seemed to suddenly notice Lucas next to Leila. She asked doubtfully, “Leila, who is this?”

Leila coughed lightly, naturally took Lucas’s arm, and introduced him with a sweet smile, “This is Lucas Gray, my boyfriend!”

She then introduced to Lucas, “Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my dormitory roommate, Alyssa Synder, and her boyfriend, Samuel Lawson.”

Although Lucas felt a bit uncomfortable when Leila held his arm so suddenly, he knew that he was posing as her boyfriend today, so her behavior was within reason.

He smiled politely at the couple in front of him and greeted them. “Hello.”

But Samuel had no intention of greeting Lucas at all. After he heard Leila’s introduction, his expression changed a little, and he turned to say to Alyssa, “Didn’t you say that Leila doesn’t have a boyfriend? What’s going on now?

“I’ve already made an agreement with Mr. Dunne. What am I supposed to do now?”

Alyssa was at a loss as well. She couldn’t help complaining to Leila, “Leila, what’s wrong with you? I thought you’ve always been single. I’ve already told you that Mr. Dunne is coming to the party tonight. What’s up with you suddenly showing up with a boyfriend? How am I supposed to explain it to Mr. Dunne later?”

Alyssa’s voice was extremely loud, and she showed great displeasure toward Lucas.

It seemed that Lucas’s appearance had jeopardized whatever plan they had, which was related to a certain Mr. Dunne.

Lucas was smart enough to realize what she meant immediately.

Leila frowned and seemed puzzled. “What does it have to do with me if Mr. Dunne is going to the party too? Why can’t I bring my boyfriend?”

She was rather cute in the first place, and the way she was tilting her head while speaking made her seem even more innocent and pure.

Of course, although Lucas had only interacted with Leila for a short period of time, he knew that she was just putting up a front. In fact, she was actually quite cunning and was definitely far from the innocent girl she was pretending to be.

Alyssa said to Leila with some resentment, “Leila, you’re the youngest one in our dorm room, so you’re naive and innocent. People like you are the most gullible and likely to be deceived by those with evil intentions!

“In particular, some men enjoy deceiving inexperienced young girls. Don’t fall for his tricks!”

Then Alyssa deliberately glanced at Lucas. She was obviously referring to him.

Still looking a little confused, Leila was stunned for a moment before realizing what Alyssa meant. She quickly held Lucas’s arm and said sweetly, “Alyssa, you don’t have to worry! My boyfriend is very nice, and he has never lied to me. I pursued him myself, and it took me a long time to win his heart!”

What she said left Alyssa dumbfounded.

Samuel’s expression darkened as he glared at Lucas.

Mr. Dunne wasn’t an ordinary person. He was a scion of one of the eight top families in DC.

Mr. Dunne wasn’t someone that a small fry like Samuel could get close to in the first place, but they and their friends happened to be dining at the same restaurant one day. Mr. Dunne took a liking to Leila at first sight, which led to their social circles crossing paths.

After falling in love with Leila at first sight, Mr. Dunne immediately started pursuing her. He had tried to confess his love to her and asked her out multiple times.

But Leila had never agreed.

Thus, Samuel took the initiative to help Mr. Dunne by saying that he would take the opportunity of the dorm party to create opportunities for him and Leila.

Everything had been going according to plan at first, and even Leila, who was usually difficult to convince, agreed to go to the party. But an unexpected twist suddenly happened at this time.

Leila suddenly had a boyfriend out of nowhere and even showed up with him.

In that case, how was he going to continue with his plan?

If Mr. Dunne found out, he would definitely fly into a rage. Not only would he end up not pleasing him, but he might even anger him. He wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences!
