Chapter 173 Former Crush
Chapter 173 Former Crush
At nine o''clock that night, L arrived at the Golden Family Hotel.
Mason was the owner of this hotel and had no rtion to the Lowe family.
Mason, along with his trusted associates Dennis and Jeremy, were waiting at the entrance for
L!
"Brother-inw!"
"Mr. Willis!"
They shouted in unison upon seeing L.
"Brother-inw, how do you like this hotel? Do you like it?"
Mason asked as he put his arm around L''s shoulder.
"It''s not bad. It''s pretty good." L nodded in agreement.
"Well then, I''m giving this hotel to you! From now on, you''re the boss here!"
Masonughed heartily and waved his hand as he spoke.
L was stunned by these words. "Giving it to me? I don''t want it! I don''t have time to manage it
nor do I know how to manage it."
"Hah! Do you need to manage it yourself? Just wait for money from your manager here!"
"I don''t care. You must ept it! Otherwise... otherwise I''ll tell my sister that you secretly went for a
massage in those ces!" Mason said without hesitation.
"You little brat, why are you so mean?" Lughed and scolded him while shaking his head
helplessly.
"Hahaha..." Mason grinned widely,ughing heartily a few times, and draped his arm around
L''s shoulder as they walked into the hotel.
Upon arriving at the spacious top-floor VIP room, they found over thirty people already gathered,
seated at five separate tables.
Each person present was a leader under Mason''smand.
Some still had bandages and gauze wrapped around them, revealing the intense shes from the
previous night.
"Mr. Willis!"
"Mr. Willis!"
"..."
As soon as L walked in, everyone stood up promptly shouting out loud together.
"It''s okay everyone sit down..."
L waved his hand but couldn''t help but sweat profusely under such an imposing manner.
Next, Mason pulled L to the middle table.
Despite their injuries, all of Mason''s subordinates present came forward one by one to raise a toast
to L.
L didn''t refuse any drink offered since he knew he wouldn''t get drunk anyway!
After the dishes went through a variety of vors and the alcohol had been consumed for three
rounds, L informed Mason that he intended to leave.
He couldn''t possibly leave Nora alone at home for too long.
Coming here to make an appearance, having a few rounds of drinks with these people, was
sufficient.
As L took the elevator and arrived at the lobby on the first floor, he heard a cry of surprise!
Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
"L? Is that you?" He turned around and saw a beautiful girl looking at him with surprise.
She wore a short-sleeved shirt on top and tight-fitting jeans below, showing off her curvy figure. She
emitted an aura of youthfulness and beauty that made L feel like he was back in high school
again.
The girl was none other than Allison Singleton, L''s ssmate from high school who was also
known as the school''s beauty queen. Back then, countless boys had crushes on her, including
L himself.
He met udia in college, andter it was udia who took the initiative to pursue L, leading
to the formation of a somewhat fateful rtionship.
Before that, in L''s heart, the shadow of Allison during their innocent days was present.
"Allison? What a coincidence!" L eximed happily upon seeing her again after so long.
Allison rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically, "What coincidence? Your pick-up lines are so
lame."
"Pick-up lines?" L looked confused for a moment before realizing what she meant.
Seeing his reaction, Allison wondered, "Weren''t you here for the ss reunion? I just finished work
and camete; why are you still here?"
"ss reunion? No, not me! I just finished dinner with someone and was about to leave..."
L shook his head.
"Allison? Why show up sote!? Everyone is waiting for you. Without you, Gavin didn''t even start
serving the dishes!"
At this moment, another girl emerged from the elevator.
Upon seeing Allison, she teasingly remarked, "Oh? You''re... L? Why are you here too? I don''t
remember inviting you."
This girl was Freya Miller, also a high school ssmate of L''s. However, back in their school
days, she always looked down on L.
In fact, during those years, most of their ssmates had a low opinion of L.
When L''s parents mysteriously disappeared in Lucoork West at his age of 18, his source of
ie and living expenses vanished. To earn tuition and living expenses, L did odd jobs for
other students at school, such asundry, cleaning, and running errands. He even washed
underwear, smelly shoes, and socks for some male ssmates.
This caused many students to look down on L, viewing him with disdain. However, there
were a few exceptions, and Allison was one of them. At that time, she not only didn''t look down on
L but also frequently bought meals for him.
There were even rumors in school that Allison had a crush on L.
But at that time, L was very insecure. Although he secretly liked Allison too, he didn''t have
the courage to show it.
"Gavin might have overlooked it! L, since we''re ssmates, let''s go up together. It''s not easy
for so many ssmates to gather after all these years!" Allison warmly invited, looking at L
with eyes full of anticipation.
It seemed she really didn''t want L to leave just like that.
"Well... okay!"
L hesitated for a moment, feeling the warmth in Allison''s eyes. It was hard to reject with those
enthusiastic eyes.
"Let''s go then!"
Allison immediately smiled with joy, waving to L.
The three of them got into the elevator together but Freya whispered into Allison''s ear, "Allison why
did you invite this poor boy? You know Gavin doesn''t like him; he used to beat up this poor guy in
school."
"That was years ago; we are all ssmates now so let''s just enjoy ourselves," replied Allison with a
smile.
Gavin Spence was known as a rich second-generation student whose family owned a rice noodles
factory. He walked around campus like he owned it and used to be one of Allision''s suitors back
then.
But since she often bought meals for L, people started saying that she had feelings for this
poor boy which made Gavin dislike him even more.
He would often gather some troublemakers from school to harass or beat up L including
trapping him inside restrooms sometimes.
"Oh? Is Gavin organizing this ss reunion?"
Although the two girls lowered their voices, L''s ears picked up every word clearly.
"Yeah, it''s organized by Gavin! What''s wrong, L? Are you scared?"
"I advise you not to go up there, or else Gavin will beat you againter!" Freya taunted.
Allison heard this and furrowed her brows. "No way? We''re all ssmates, and we haven''t seen
each other in so many years. Gavin won''t make things difficult for L, right?"
"How could he not?" Freya replied.
"Allison, don''t you know that Gavin still has a crush on you? He just told everyone earlier that you
were the first girl he ever had a crush on. If you''re not there, he won''t even let us serve the food. Do
you think Gavin will have any good thoughts when he sees L going up with us?"
As she spoke, Freya nced at L and sneered, "And now it''s different from when we were in
school. Gavin''s family is really something now - they''ve opened factories around neighboring
counties and cities - truly rich and powerful! When we were in school, being considered his rival
would only result in him beating us up a bit; but now it''s like ying games to kill someone like us!
L, don''t you agree?"
After hearing this statement from Freya, L responded with an "Oh?" before saying, "Really?
I''m already married. If he likes Allison then I won''tpete with him for her affection."
Upon hearing this response from L, Allison shed a hint of sadness through her beautiful
eyes.
He... he''d already married?
Immediately after showing concern on her face, she turned to speak to L, "L... how
about... you don''t go anymore! Let''s exchange contact information instead, and meet separately
another time. This ss reunion party, you shouldn''t attend..."
