Chapter 645: The Coles’ Banquet

At this moment, Lucas had already entered the Coles’ manor and was still unaware that his car had been smashed in the parking lot outside.

Even though Lucas didn’t have an invitation card with him, when the person in charge of receiving guests at the entrance saw him, he politely brought him to the main hall where Alexis’s birthday party was being held.

Lucas followed the usher all the way and scanned his surroundings in the Coles’ manor.

The Coles really lived up to their reputation as one of the top three wealthiest families in San Francisco. The entire manor covered a large area, and the interior was different from the usual European luxe decor preferred by many wealthy families. Instead, it had a simple but elegant decor style, with some decorative water features and pavilions interspersed between.

However, the main hall, where Alexis’s 20th birthday party was being held, was a detached modern European-style villa. After all, most of the guests Alexis invited to her party were young, so the Coles deliberately chose to hold the party here.

“The party is being held here this evening, Mr. Gray. Please come in!” the usher said as he opened the glass doors of the banquet hall respectfully.

Lucas nodded and entered.

At this moment, it was almost the start of the banquet, and most of the guests had already arrived, dressed in fancy clothes and holding various drinks while chatting with each other.

It was a typical scene of a gathering among the rich. Most people present were the heirs and heiresses of various top families, so they were all wealthy and noble.

But it did make sense since Alexis was the pampered heiress of the Coles, who had a high status and a large network of connections. Those who were qualified to attend were naturally also of comparable statuses.

Therefore, Lucas, who suddenly appeared at the birthday banquet hall, became an anomaly.

As soon as he entered, he immediately saw many pairs of eyes full of ambiguous gazes.

After all, among the wealthy scions and ladies present, Lucas was the only one wearing an extremely casual outfit, making him stick out like a sore thumb. He was just like a wild hen among a flock of eye-catching peacocks, unique and different from the rest.

But Lucas had always ignored these peculiar gazes that he would get for the way he dressed. He simply acted as though he didn’t see them and sat down in the nearest corner.

He didn’t come here with the intention of communicating with the children of wealthy families today. He was merely here to deliver the gifts because Alexis invited him to her birthday party.

Lucas wasn’t interested in participating in anything else.

“Lucas Gray? You’re here too?” a woman exclaimed in surprise near Lucas.

Lucas turned around and saw Lena, who was wearing a black halter bustier dress made of chiffon. She walked toward him smilingly.

“Lena, you’re here too.” Lucas was slightly surprised and greeted her.

“Haha, of course. Today is the birthday of Alexis, the princess of the Cole family. Although my family isn’t very close to the Coles, we should still come and show our support no matter what! Even many prestigious families in other cities in California are proud to receive an invitation to the party!”

Lena seemed to be in high spirits, as she was extremely chatty with Lucas.

“However, I’m still a bit surprised to meet you here. Given your character, I thought that you might not enjoy attending such banquets!”

Lena grabbed two cocktail glasses from the tray in the hands of a passing waiter and handed one to Lucas.

Lucas took it politely, but he merely held it in his hand without taking a sip. He said casually, “I happen to be friends with Mr. Edmund Cole and Alexis, so I’m just here to take a look.”

“That’s true. When we were in LA last time, I heard that you saved Mr. Cole. I was shocked!”

Lena suddenly blinked at Lucas and asked, “Do you think I’m pretty today?”

She was here to attend the birthday party today, and on such occasions, every woman attending wouldn’t be willing to let others outshine them. So Lena was dressed today in an elegant black dress that not only accentuated her voluptuous and alluring figure but also made her skin look incredibly fair. Moreover, she was a gorgeous beauty to begin with, and her exquisite outfit, as well as accessories, made her look even prettier.

Lena’s beauty stood out from most of the other women present and was extremely eye-catching.

Lucas praised sincerely, “You’re indeed very pretty today!”

“Haha, thanks!” Lena answered with a shy smile.

At this moment, the glass doors of the banquet hall opened again, and a tall and handsome young nobleman walked in from outside.

His appearance immediately caused a commotion because extraordinarily handsome men like him were rare even at such occasions, where heirs of noble families gathered.

“Wow, who’s this handsome guy who just came in?”

“I know him! He’s Connor Hale from Orange County. Although he’s only thirty, he has officially become the head of the Hale family just a few days ago!”

“Really? He’s already become the head of the Hale family at such a young age? He should be the youngest among the helmsman of first-tier families, right? I heard that the Hales are one of the four top families in Orange County and are extremely powerful! Has Connor Hale really become the head of his family?”

“Of course. Although he’s young, he definitely isn’t an ordinary person. Otherwise, Bruce Hale wouldn’t have favored him and passed him the position of family head!”

“That’s incredible. He became the helmsman of his family at such a young age, and the thing is, he’s so handsome. He’s just like the prince charming of my dreams! I’m starting to like him!”

“Hey, you’d better wake up. He’s already married, and his son was born not long ago. He even threw a full moon party for his son!”

These words made many nearby sigh, finding it a huge pity.

…

Connor attracted the attention of many women as soon as he entered due to his outstanding appearance.

But at the same time, many wealthy scions were staring at Connor, who was now officially the helmsman of a top-tier family. This point alone had already set him apart from others his age.

While countless people were staring at Connor, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly strode toward Lucas.

Connor stood in front of Lucas, bent forward slightly, and said respectfully, “Mr. Gray, I didn’t expect you to be here too. If I had known earlier that you were coming, I would have gone to pick you up personally!”

This scene immediately caused many people to widen their eyes in bewilderment.
