Chapter 71
As | was exiting the bar, | heard Matthew and Isabelle talking outside.
"So, is Charlotte coming or not?"
"Of course she is. | invited her myself, but she was reluctant at first, so | had to do
a lot of convincing. If she seems uninterested in William later, make sure to comfort him, okay?"
"| really can't believe Charlotte got together with Lucas. Even if he helped her, there's no need for her to offer
herself as gratitude. This isn't the olden days anymore!"
"What can we do? Women easily fall for the people who help them."
I was even more confused as | listened to their conversation.
Charlotte and Lucas were together? They didn't like Lucas, so they wanted to setup with Charlotte? What the
heck was going on?

Just as | was about to go up and ask them what Lucas did, Isabelle suddenly started waving excitedly. "Charlotte!
Here!"
| glanced over and saw Charlotte. She looked so different from usual. Her outfits were normally fierce and edgy,
but today she was wearing a fitted white T-shirt and a black short skirt, which made her look youthful and
vibrant.
| was especially mesmerized by her fair legs. | couldn't help but steal a few glances.
Despite looking extra youthful today, she was wearing a pair of Doc Martens. Along with her long, straight black
hair, she still gave off a cold and chic vibe.
All of them were walking back toward the bar, so | decided to go back in and sit down.
After all, Charlotte had call the way here. If | leave right now, it would be disrespectful to her. | should at
least finish the meal first.
| sat down, and Isabelle suggested, "How about we go out this afternoon? Staying on campus is so boring!"
Charlotte was taking selfies and said, "Wait. | have a friend on the way."
"A friend?" Isabelle looked confused. "Who? Charlotte, we only invited you."
Charlotte sneered. "Yeah, you only invited me, but can | not invite someone else? Stop asking questions and just
wait."
How arrogant. She was so disrespectful to Isabelle even though Isabelle had treated her so nicely and said so
many good things about her. In comparison, Isabelle seemed so much nicer.
| just sat there in silence, keeping a cold expression.
Suddenly, Charlotte waved her hand and shouted, "Lucas! Here!"
Benjamin was so surprised that he choked on his drink.
| turned around and saw Lucas. He was wearing a casual jacket paired with denim jeans and necklaces around
his neck.
He looked like he was in streetwear, but the quality seemed slightly lower than the typical trendy brands.
"Charlotte, why did you invite Lucas?" Isabelle was so surprised to see Lucas that she turned around to look at

I nodded at her to indicate that | was fine, and only then did her expression relax. But soon after, she glared at
Charlotte again.
"Don't you know why I invited you today?"
Charlotte chuckled, "I do. That's why | invited Lucas too."
When Lucas reached their table, Charlotte stood up and hugged his arm.
"Everyone, this is my boyfriend, Lucas!"
Matthew and Isabelle immediately looked annoyed.
1, on the other hand, found it interesting. Charlotte and Lucas were actually
together? Just because she thought he settled her family matters?
I wonder what she'd think when the truth unfolded.
