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

1160 Driven Out of DC

What Lucas said made Everleigh boil with fury. But when she thought Lucas was most likely a big shot hiding his identity, she didn’t dare to show her anger.

She forced herself to smile. Knowing that Lucas didn’t like her, she stopped throwing herself at him like she had done with Roger and Jacky.

Everleigh looked at Leila, picked up her hand, and said intimately, “Leila, this is so inappropriate of you. You’ve got such a great boyfriend, but you’ve been keeping quiet about him without telling us anything. You’re not treating us like your close friends at all!”

“Get lost!” Leila shook Everleigh’s hand away in disgust. The sight of Everleigh reminded her of what had happened just now and made her feel disgusted.

Before today, although she knew that Everleigh had some issues with being materialistic, vain, and pretentious, it was only today that she finally learned how shameless she could be!

For the sake of pleasing Jacky, Everleigh had coerced her so-called ‘close friends’ to sleep with him. The way she had behaved like a pimp was still fresh in Leila’s memory.

Not to mention being touched by Everleigh, even the sight of this person made Leila feel nauseous.

Alyssa and Bethany were also hostile toward Everleigh. They said mockingly, “What’s the matter? Everleigh, do you finally remember that we’re close friends who have been roommates for years? Your attitude is completely different from when you were sucking up to Jacky Walton!

“Speaking of which, I’ve never met a woman as cheap as you. You just dumped your boyfriend this afternoon and then threw yourself at Roger Dunne. Then after you realized that Jacky Walton was richer and had a nobler status, you eagerly threw yourself at him again. Now, you even want to do the same thing and snatch Leila’s boyfriend.

“What’s the difference between you and a hooker? You’re even willing to sacrifice your character and dignity for the sake of power and status. Yet you still have the cheek to call us friends in front of us?

“Also, why didn’t Jacky Walton harass us when we were on the way back from the restroom? Why did he drag you into his room? Maybe you did something on purpose to seduce him.”

Everleigh’s actions absolutely disgusted them.

They were not kind people, so they immediately bombarded Everleigh with all sorts of insults.

No matter how thick-skinned Everleigh was, she couldn’t stand being accused by her three roommates one after another.

Besides, Alyssa and Bethany were right.

While on the way back from the restroom, Everleigh had indeed deliberately winked sultrily at the passing men while the others didn’t notice, just so she could see the men getting charmed by her.

But she didn’t expect Jacky, a scion of one of the eight top families in DC, to be seduced by the look in her eyes and immediately dragged her into his private room.

If not for this, the subsequent events wouldn’t have happened.

But Everleigh only regretted not achieving her goal of seducing a wealthy scion today. She didn’t think that there was anything wrong with her behavior.

She thought that it was only natural for people to aim higher.

She couldn’t understand why her roommates were treating her with such animosity.

Despite thinking so, Everleigh wouldn’t reveal it at this moment. Instead, she acted as if she had been bullied and said with tears in her red eyes, “All of you are blaming me, but I had no choice!

“Is it my fault that Jacky Walton dragged me into his room? Why are you blaming me?

“Also, I didn’t know that he was a scion of the Waltons! At the time, he came to take revenge on you, and he was also the one who wanted you to stay. Why are you blaming me? I’m a victim too!

“Also, your boyfriends had already abandoned you and wanted to leave without you. And I didn’t know that Lucas was so impressive either. I thought we would be in trouble, so I felt that instead of being forcefully violated, it was better to comply for now and save our lives first and then think of solutions!

“I clearly did it out of good intentions. That’s why I put on an act in front of Jacky Walton. Not only do you not understand me, but you even got the wrong idea about me. Was our friendship for the past few years all fake?

“Am I such a shameless person in your eyes?”

While speaking, Everleigh burst into tears, as if she had really been wronged.

It had to be said that if Everleigh entered the entertainment industry, she might win an Oscar.

But no one appreciated her performance at all, and no one believed her either.

“Enough!” Kenenth hollered with displeasure, interrupting Everleigh’s tearful performance.

Although he had arrived late and still didn’t know what had happened, he could tell that Lucas was getting annoyed.

Kenneth yelled at Everleigh. But when she thought that the restaurant’s general manager actually dared to beat up even Nick, she immediately shut her mouth and looked at Kenneth with teary eyes.

Kenneth glowered at Everleigh in disgust and then asked Lucas, “Mr. Gray, how should we deal with this woman?”

Everleigh’s body instantly stiffened.

Lucas glanced at her and ordered coldly, “Get her to leave DC immediately. She will never be allowed to step foot into DC again from now on! Otherwise, you can kill her without reporting to me.”

Lucas didn’t feel any sympathy for Everleigh at all.

It wasn’t unforgivable to want to climb higher, but her actions had completely trampled on his bottom line, making him feel extremely disgusted.

Besides, this woman had always had strong animosity toward him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have wanted to drag him down and kept urging Nick to kill him.

Lucas naturally wouldn’t be merciful to a vicious woman like her.

As soon as she heard what Lucas said, Everleigh felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured onto her head, making her feel freezing cold as she went limp and collapsed to the floor.

DC was the most prosperous place in the country and the place where the rich and powerful gathered. It was home to the circle that Everleigh desperately wanted to enter.

But Lucas had now severed all possibilities of her future plan, destroying her dreams of marrying a wealthy scion in DC and becoming a rich woman!
