Chapter 333

Annoyed, Crystal answered, “Guys! Enough! I’m already so hacked off and you guys are still making fun of me! I seriously don’t know what Grandpa was thinking about.

How could he ask me to pick up some stranger? Who the hell is he? Why can’t he just come here by himself? Ugh, forget it. I need to stop talking and go get him now.”

Immediately, some of the kids said, “Crystal, if you leave, what should we do then? Your friends are all here and you are going to pick up some bumpkin you don’t even know? Is this what you should do to your friends?”

Crystal was defenseless. “Then tell me what should I do? How am I supposed to reject when grandpa wanted me to go? If I don’t do it, he would scold me!”

At the moment, Annie had an idea and she grinned, “Crystal, you don’t have to do it. Lucas hasn’t arrived yet. I can give him a call and ask him to go get that bumpkin here.”

Crystal was puzzled. “W-Will that be alright?”

Laughing in response, Annie said, “It should be alright. He will be here either way. Besides, we can let Lucas test him out. If he is some nasty scumbag, it would be better for you to not meet up with him.

What happened if he clung to you after today?

Arh, it would be a whole lot of trouble for you! Remember? Young Master Hughes will be here in a moment. Don’t you want to meet the heir of the ten greatest families in Eastshire? He is one of the most influential people of the younger generation around here. Crystal, we have high hopes on you!”

Crystal was in hesitation. It was true that she was really curious about Travis.

From what she had seen, the heirs from the Eastcliff’s noble families were mostly some foolish coxcomb and none of them was exactly her type.

Besides, as the heir of the ten greatest families, Travis was definitely the leader of the younger generations. Only this kind of man could stand beside her!

After thinking for a while, Crystal slowly nodded her head. “Okay. Give Lucas a call now!”

Instantly, Annie chuckled. “That’s my girl! Don’t worry, I’ll ask Lucas to check out whether he’s handsome or not. If he is neither handsome nor rich, then we can just shoo him away instead of allowing him to stain our vision! Hahaha!”

After waiting for almost half an hour, a car finally stopped in front of Matthew.

A tough-looking young man walked down from the car and looked around. Finally, he laid his eyes on Matthew. “Hey, are you Matthew Larson?” The young man asked.

Confusingly, Matthew replied, “Yes I am, and you are?”

Taking a look at Matthew from his head to toe, the young men did not answer. The corner of his mouth quirked after realizing that Matthew was wearing some off-the-rack clothing.

“I’m Lucas. Miss Crystal asked me here to give you a lift.”

Taking in the information, Matthew replied in surprise, “Oh, thank you! Sorry if I had given you trouble!”

Lucas glared. “I need to pick my girlfriend up later and she hates it when the car smells. So, you can’t ride in my car! Here are 100 dollars, go get yourself a taxi!”

Lucas pulled out a 100 dollar cash from his pocket, dumping it on the floor in front of Matthew and walked away.

Frowning, Matthew thought, What’s wrong with this person? Is he trying to shoo me off like I’m a beggar?

“Wait!” Matthew called out. “Even though you can’t give me a ride, I’ll still have to thank you for coming all the way here and notified me. Please keep this. I have the money myself.” Matthew left right after the talk.

Instantly, Lucas was baffled and he groaned, “Is he dumb? How could he reject my money? Fine, I’ll keep it then! It’s not my business if Crystal asks later.”
