Chapter 188: Gathering of the Rich

Hazel was so funny!

Lucas almost hit the green belt as he laughed.

He stopped the car and held back his laughter, “Alright, you have many admirers. You have gang-
banging every day. Hey, tell you what. I’m supposed to go to a dinner party tonight. It’s held by my
friend and many famous people in the city will attend. Some of the executives in my company couldn’t
go as they’ve gone abroad. I’ll give you the tickets. You can invite your friends and have some nice
buffet dinner over there. Their buffet dinner is superb.”

“What?” Hazel was dumbfounded as she didn’t expect Lucas to say that. She thought Lucas was going
to insult her.

…

“The buffet dinner over there is really nice. The hotel is going to serve their best food tonight. It’s going
to be a waste of the tickets if you don’t go. But of course, that is under the condition that you have time
to go, Ms. Hazel. Why don’t you ditch your admirers and go to that dinner with me?”

It’s rare to see Lucas being so soft-spoken and coaxing a woman.

Hazel smiled after hearing Lucas’s offer, “Fine. I’m only going because you invited me sincerely.”

For some reason, Lucas’ heart raced after Hazel agreed to go to that dinner with him. He felt his blood
running faster than usual.

“Alright. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the hotel after half an hour.”

“Alright.”



Hazel ended the call and felt relieved.

“Hey, what are you guys doing? Why are you covering your face?”

Elaine covered her face with her bag while Sally covered hers with a plate.

“It’s all because of you! This is so embarrassing. Why are you shouting in the restaurant? Argh! We
shouldn’t have hung out with you,” Sally complained.

Hazel recalled what she said when she was in furry. Her face flushed red, then she pulled her friends
out and left the scene.

The rays of the dawn lay between the clouds. Everyone seemed to be heading to their destination in a
rush.

“My bad, alright? I embarrassed you guys. Let me treat you guys a five-stars hotel buffet dinner for
tonight, alright?” Hazel said excitedly with her hands on her hips.

“Stop lying. You don’t have the money. Is this a trick?”

Sally didn’t believe Hazel and pouted.

“Come on. It’s my treat!”

Hazel was too excited. She called for a cab and got Elaine and Sally into the cab.

When three of them stood in front of the grand hotel entrance, they were fascinated.

The decoration of the hotel looked luxurious. A long, red carpet set on the ground and some handsome
waiters were standing at the entrance, welcoming the guests. Celebrities in the city, whom were always
seen on the TV, walked out of premium cars and entered the hotel.



…

“Gosh! Is this a gathering for rich people? Are we even in the right place?”

Sally asked Hazel softly.

Hazel didn’t expect to see such a scene either. She replied anxiously, “I didn’t know anything about
this. I don’t know what to do now. I will definitely kill him if I find out that he is lying to me!”

“Ha! I think castrating him is an even better idea,” Sally teased.

At the same time, Lucas walked out of a car and headed into the hotel lobby with a few people.
However, when they are about to walk further into the hotel, Lucas stopped. He was trying to look for
somebody.

Lucas’ eyes sparkled when he saw Hazel, Elaine and Sally. He quickly walked towards them.

“There I thought you haven’t arrived,” Lucas smiled at Hazel. He looked surprised when he saw Elaine
tagged along. Lucas smiled and said, “Hey, Elaine. You’re also here.”

Elaine felt awkward meeting Lucas. She lowered her head and nodded, “Hi, Lucas.”

Hazel reached out her hands towards Lucas, “Where is my ticket? I will peel the skin on your face if
you lied to me.”

Lucas chuckled, “It doesn't matter. I don't rely on my handsome face to make a living after all. Hahaha”

He took three tickets out of his pocket and handed to Hazel.

Sally was watching behind Hazel. She cheered secretly behind Hazel’s back.



“I shall head in first. My friends are waiting for me. You guys can go in and eat as much as you like.
Since no one knows who you are, you can leave after you finish eating.”

Hazel smiled brightly and wave at Lucas, “Alright! Bye!”

Three girls cheered and walked into the luxurious hotel.

Lucas stayed at the entrance of the hotel and welcomed the guests. He had spoken to many people.
After a while, a luxurious car drove into the hotel entrance.

Emmett walked out of the car, and Juliana followed next. She held onto Emmett's arms and walked into
the hotel.

Lucas was shocked!

He would meet his end tonight!

…

He would never expect that Emmett would bring Juliana to this occasion.

And Lucas brought Elaine here!

Would Emmett kill him if he knew about it?

After Emmett and Juliana walked into the hotel, Lucas was still standing at the entrance.

Then, another bad news arrived. Lucas wished he was dead.

“Master Young is here!”

Lucas was startled when he heard people calling Oliver’s name.



Lucas stiffly turned his head around. He saw Oliver was wearing a set of a white suit. Oliver looked
neat and elegant. He smiled and approached Lucas when he saw him standing at the entrance.

“Hi, Lucas. You are here. Do you know who is the host of this dinner tonight?”

Oliver’s appearance was very attention-catching. He was already fair, and he looked even fairer in his
white suit. He had got his bandages off and his left arm looked a lot better. However, he would still
need to be extra cautious to avoid further injuries.

“You…You are here too?”

Lucas felt breathless.

What the hell was this?

Emmett, Juliana, Elaine, Oliver…

Oliver smiled, “Why can’t I be here? Isn’t this a business dinner? I heard that this gathering dinner is to
welcome an important person, and most of the significant person in the city are here. Shouldn’t I be
here too? But to be honest, I didn’t want to come. I would rather stay at home and chat with Elaine.”

Lucas almost fell down onto the ground.

He wanted to tell Oliver that he had brought Elaine to the dinner so much but he couldn’t.

Geez! Lucas thought this was just an ordinary dinner gathering. He didn’t even listen to what his
secretary briefed him before.

Who knew this would happen?

“I’m finished this time!”



Lucas mumbled biting his lower lip.

“What?”

“Nothing. You head in first. I’m going to make a call.”

Lucas walked to a corner and quickly called Hazel’s mobile phone.

He needed to get Elaine out of here as soon as possible.

Even if he had to kneel to beg Hazel!

However, Lucas’s wish didn’t come true. Hazel didn’t hear her phone ringing because the place was
too crowded and chaotic. Lucas was unable to reach Hazel at all.

…

Do you know how a hero die?

He died of running out of patience!

“Damn! Why didn’t she pick up her phone? Why? Gosh, what am I going to do now?”

Lucas frowned so hard that his wrinkles showed. He nervously paced back and forth.

He almost wanted to throw his phone out.

“Mr. Lee, shall we head in now? The dinner is starting soon. Let’s go.”

One of Lucas’ friend waved at him.

It’s like Lucas had made up his mind. He stomped his leg and answered, “I’m coming.”



Lucas secretly cursed, “Damn, what have I done? I just dug my own grave! Damn! Hazel must have
missed my call intentionally!”

Lucas anxiously walked into the dining hall. He looked like a scared hamster widening his eyes looking
for something.

More and more people approached Lucas when he was trying to look for someone.

Lucas wanted to get rid of these people so much!

He politely dismissed the people surrounding him and continue looking for the person he was looking
for.

“Hey, look. Who is this man? Did you deliberately run into me?”

Jasper turned around angrily. When he finally had a clear look on who ran into him, he realized that it
was Lucas.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Lucas didn’t even look at the person he ran into. He apologies subconsciously. He
was still looking around.

Gosh. Where are you, Hazel?

Jasper laughed. He held on to Lucas’ arm and punched him lightly in his chest.

“You dummy. You are acting like a girl. What are you doing? Did you lose something? Who are you
looking for? ”

Lucas nervously looked at the person in front of him. He cried out loud when he saw it was Jasper.

“Jasper, I so dead right now! I’m going to die!”



Jasper was startled, “What are you talking about? Have you gone crazy?”

Lucas was sweating out of fear.

“You knew Emmett is here with a lady tonight, right?”

Jasper nodded, “Yes. The memo said this dinner is to welcome a significant person.”

…

“They look so good together. Are they a couple?”

“If Emmett married this woman, she is going to help him so much in his business.”

“I can see Tianyi Group stock rising now.”

“Where can I find such a perfect woman? I’m so lucky if I’m married to such a wealthy and powerful
wife.”

The guest of the dinner gave their attention to the appearance of Emmett and Juliana. The guests were
all whispering behind their back.

Elaine couldn’t think straight when she heard the whispers of the guest.

It felt like she was left on a stranded island, and abandoned by the world.
