1141 Afraid of Comparison

Suddenly, Alyssa’s phone rang. She received a text message.

She took her phone out to take a look at it and decided not to continue bothering with Lucas here. Instead, she pulled Leila’s other arm and said, “Leila, let’s ignore him. Mr. Dunne just texted me to say that he’s already booked a private room in the Hampton Restaurant. Let’s head over now in my boyfriend’s car!”

Bethany chimed in, “Since Mr. Dunne has already made reservations, we’d better not keep him waiting and get going now!”

Leila sulked and pretended to be angry. “Why are you guys behaving like that? If you don’t want my boyfriend to join us, I won’t go either. You go ahead!”

!!

With that, she hugged Lucas’s arm and said in an angry voice, “Lucas, since they don’t welcome us, let’s go have dinner on our own! You said you’d take me to that famous crab burger restaurant the other day. Let’s go now!”

As soon as she heard Leila say that she wasn’t going, Alyssa panicked and hurriedly said to Leila, “Hey, Leila, I didn’t say that you’re not welcome… We just don’t like your boyfriend!

“Since you insist on bringing him along, don’t blame us for not reminding you if he suffers embarrassment. Dinner’s on Mr. Dunne tonight. If your boyfriend angers him, we won’t be able to help him!”

Then Alyssa looked at Lucas and deliberately said, “I can tell you that Mr. Dunne is from one of the eight top families in DC. His family is extremely wealthy and powerful. If a loser like you offends him, god knows how you’ll die!”

She deliberately intimidated Lucas, hoping to use Mr. Dunne to scare Lucas into leaving instead of tagging along.

This way, his image would be completely ruined, and Leila wouldn’t blame them for ostracizing him.

Lucas said indifferently, “Mr. Dunne? I haven’t met anyone from the Dunne family before. It’s a good chance for me to meet them.”

Alyssa harrumphed. “Hmph, since you’re not afraid of dying, you can come along! Mr. Dunne is indeed not at a level that you can reach. Taking you there today will give you an eye-opener!”

She mocked Lucas with a disgusted gaze and said to Bethany, “My boyfriend doesn’t like strangers riding in his car. Why don’t you take them in your car?”

Bethany shook her head. “No, my boyfriend’s BMW is still new. I don’t mind giving Leila a lift, but I don’t like having a penniless loser riding in my boyfriend’s car. He can take an Uber or something!”

Leila rolled her eyes inwardly while thinking, Who wants to ride in your car!

She smiled and said, “It’s okay. My boyfriend drove here too. We can go there in our own car.”

“Huh? This penniless guy actually has a car?” Alyssa immediately said in surprise.

Leila nodded and sighed again. “Yes, but my boyfriend drives an ordinary car, and it’s far inferior to your boyfriends’ cars.”

Hearing her tone, Alyssa and Bethany subconsciously thought that Lucas probably owned an old, cheap Chevrolet or something worth less than 10 thousand dollars. They both felt a sense of superiority.

“Holy shit, whose car is this?” Samuel suddenly exclaimed and walked over to the black Land Rover in excitement and surprise.

“Damn, this is the latest model of Range Rover that just came out two months ago! It’s the SVA Ultimate Edition. It’s a five-seat SUV with a 5.0T engine and an eight-speed manual transmission! The base model of this car starts at 250 grand!”

Samuel was incredibly excited and wanted to touch the car.

Hayden immediately walked over. His eyes lit up as he stared at the car in front of him.

Men seemed to have the lowest resistance to all kinds of luxury cars, so Hayden was just as excited the moment he saw the latest model of the Range Rover in front of him.

Hayden was more knowledgeable than Samuel, and he quickly noticed many details. He said in shock, “No, this isn’t just the latest model but a modified custom one! Look, all its glass is bulletproof, and the chassis looks thicker, as well as the tires. The engine has probably been modified too.

“It’s a pity that we can’t go inside the car to look. I bet all the interior systems have been modified too. With the modifications, this car must have cost a bomb!”

Samuel said in surprise, “So, it costs at least a million?”

Hayden shook his head, “More than that. I think it’s at least two million dollars! Such modified cars usually cost more than three to four times the ordinary models! Moreover, those who can afford to buy such an expensive car and modify it are definitely rich. It’s probably been modified to deliver the highest performance. It definitely costs more than 2 million dollars!”

“Damn, that’s impressive! There are really lots of rich people in this world. A car actually costs over two million dollars. Tsk!”

Samuel circled the car and clucked his tongue while marveling at it.

Although Alyssa and Bethany didn’t know much about cars, they were amazed after hearing that the car was worth more than two million dollars.

The car, which was originally very inconspicuous in their eyes, suddenly looked so dazzling and eye-catching.

“I didn’t expect such an ordinary-looking car to be worth over two million bucks! It’s really true that rich people don’t always like to show off their wealth. There are still plenty who like to keep a low profile! I guess the owner of this car is a scion of a rich family that owns a big business. Otherwise, there’s no way he would spend so much on a car!”

“Ah, it’d be great if I could know the car’s owner! If… ahem!” Alyssa said enviously, and at the end of her sentence, she almost blurted out how wonderful it would be for her if she could marry such a scion. Fortunately, she remembered at the critical moment that her current boyfriend was standing right next to her, so she coughed twice and swallowed her words.

Bethany felt the same way. She said with a longing look, “Since this car is parked in front of our school, the owner might be one of our schoolmates! That means he’s rich and talented. Maybe he’s hot too. What a dreamboat! I’d definitely pursue him if I didn’t have a boyfriend!”

Her words immediately made the two men next to her feel a little embarrassed.

In particular, Bethany’s boyfriend, Hayden, felt a little humiliated after hearing her say that she wanted to pursue the owner of the car.

After all, compared to this car worth more than two million dollars, his 100,000-dollar BMW X6 was really inferior.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Comparisons often hurt, especially when the other party was far superior!
