1161 The Dust Settles
“No, Mr. Gray, I bet you to let me off! And Leila! Leila! Quickly help me beg for mercy. Please ask Mr. Gray not to drive me out of DC!
“I still have six months before I graduate, and many of my friends are here. If I get driven out of DC, everything will be over for me! Leila, please help me out one last time on account that we’re roommates.”
Everleigh looked fl.u.s.tered, and she wanted Leila to help her plead for forgiveness. She even rushed over to Leila as if she found a straw to clutch at.
But Kenneth’s security guards stopped her actions.
“Take her away and make sure she leaves DC now! If she dares to resist or run away on the way, just find a place to kill her!” Kenneth instructed coldly.
!!
Upon his order, two tall and burly bodyguards immediately stepped forward, stuffed a napkin into Everleigh’s mouth, held her on the left and right, and dragged her out of the private room.
After Everleigh was taken away, only Lucas, Leila, Kenneth, Alyssa, and Bethany were left in the room.
Leila was fine, but Alyssa and Bethany were on edge.
They had offended Lucas several times earlier, said many callous things to mock him, and even asked him to leave Leila.
Now that Everleigh, who had offended Lucas, was driven out of DC and was never allowed to return, what about the two of them?
Would Lucas drive them out of DC too?
Alyssa and Bethany appeared panicked and scared as they hurried over to Leila and said to her anxiously, “Leila, you have to help us! Please ask Mr. Gray not to drive us out of DC too!”
“Yeah, Leila, haven’t we always been close friends? Please help us on account that we’re friends!”
“We’re graduating next semester. If we get kicked out of DC and can’t return, we would have gone to college for nothing. We will end up with nothing! Leila, please help us!”
Seeing Alyssa and Bethany so panic-stricken that they were on the brink of tears, Lucas was speechless.
He never mentioned anything about kicking them out of DC.
These women’s imaginations are too strong.
But he could understand why they were so fl.u.s.tered. Even Leila began to feel worried.
Leila initially thought that Lucas was merely an illegitimate son of the Huttons and that the Stardust Corporation was just compensation for him.
But now that she had seen how aggressive he was even to the successor of the Waltons, one of the eight top families in DC, so much that he even broke one of his limbs, she felt that he definitely wasn’t only relying on the Huttons to be able to be so fearless.
Even the successor of the Huttons probably wouldn’t dare to break the limbs of the successor of the Waltons!
This could only prove that Lucas was probably far more powerful than she imagined.
Leila couldn’t help feeling a little nervous as she asked carefully, “Uh, Lucas, can you let them off? Although they said some nasty things, I’ll apologize to you on their behalf!”
Alyssa and Bethany looked at Lucas nervously and apologized profusely. “Yes, that’s right, Mr. Gray. We didn’t think before we spoke earlier, so we ran our mouths and said a lot of inappropriate things. Please forgive us!”
Lucas looked at them indifferently. “If you two dare to continue harboring ill intentions against Leila and try to harm her, then you’ll end up like Everleigh. Remember?”
Alyssa and Bethany frantically nodded and a.s.sured, “Don’t worry! We’ll definitely treat Leila as our own sister. We will never dare to harm her!”
Since Everleigh ended up in such a miserable plight, how could they possibly dare to harm Leila?
Besides, the two of them were not as vicious as Everleigh. Although they would sometimes get jealous of her, they had never really done anything to harm her.
Of course, they would no longer dare to do anything such as Leila up with other men!
“Alright, you can leave!” Lucas said simply, not planning to make things difficult for them.
Alyssa and Bethany knew that Lucas was letting them off, so they felt like they had been spared from death. After thanking him, they quickly left.
Now, only Lucas, Leila, and Kenneth were left in the room.
Kenneth smiled at Lucas and asked, “Mr. Gray, you probably didn’t get to eat well since so much happened today, right? I’ve had people prepare the VVIP private room on the top floor. Would you like to have a meal there?”
Lucas was already full. Although so much had happened today, he had hardly partic.i.p.ated in them, so he had eaten his fill.
But he did have some things to say to Kenneth, so he nodded and agreed.
“Leila, shall I get someone to send you home?” Lucas looked at Leila next to him.
He was only pretending to be Leila’s boyfriend, and the two of them weren’t actually close. Since the matter was already over, they naturally didn’t have to continue acting anymore.
But since Lucas had driven Leila here, it was only right for him to arrange for someone to send her home.
Leila should have agreed, but seemingly by accident, the first thing she said was, “I’ll wait for you to go back together!”
As soon as she said this, she realized how inappropriate it sounded.
Lucas clearly knew the owner of the restaurant, and they seemed to have something to talk about, so there was no point in her staying here.
But since she had already spoken, she couldn’t change her mind and say that she wanted to leave now. She didn’t know what was going on with herself.
She vaguely felt that it was probably because she didn’t want to leave Lucas so soon.
After hearing Leila’s reply, Lucas didn’t refuse and brought her, under Kenneth’s lead, to the VVIP room on the top floor.
The restaurant was a five-star one, so it had luxurious decor. And since it was a VVIP room, it was even more luxurious. The floor area of this room was over 100 square meters, and it was equipped with a bathroom, couches, a home theater, etc. It was basically like a standalone all-around entertainment s.p.a.ce.
After they sat down, Kenneth finally asked Lucas with a smile on his face, “Mr. Gray, what do you think of this restaurant?”
Lucas nodded in approval. “It’s not bad. I didn’t expect the Parkers to be developing so quickly. Apart from your businesses in LA and the antique and jewelry stores across California, you’ve also expanded into the hospitality industry.”
Kenneth hurriedly smiled. “Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to you, Mr. Gray. If it weren’t for your help, the family would have ceased to exist long ago, let alone develop until now. Thank you!
“Furthermore, everything weave is thanks to your support, Mr. Gray. So no matter what we achieve, it’s all thanks to you. My grandfather said that everything we have belongs to you, and you can take away anything whenever you please.”
